So Locke is walking around and everyone is dying to know how (haha bad pun). I remember it drove me crazy the first time watching this season. Does the island have the ability to bring people back to life? We see Christian walking around and he was dead when he came to the island, but there's something mystical about him, about Locke too. Hmmmm. ;)
This episode centered on Ben and with most Ben episodes in the past, we get a lot of good info about the island's past. We get his first meeting with a 20 something Widmore, then a 40 something, then maybe 50 something. We see how Ben acquires Alex with a teenage Ethan. The coolest part is we get to see how he summoned the Smoke Monster the first time and then even cooler, we get to see under the Temple where he is surrounded by the Smoke Monster replaying his memories.
Ben is seeking forgiveness for being responsible for his daughter's death. He meets "Alex" below the Temple after the Smoke Monster leaves and she tells him to not kill Locke and to listen to him.
A cool scene off island is that we finally get to why Ben looks like crap when he gets on Ajira 316. He goes to the marina to kill Penny. Desmond gets the jump on him while he's distracted, kicks his ass and throws him into the water. It was good to see Desmond. I hope to see more, but I'm not positive that we do.
This was a good episode and it was just what I was craving to see. Let's keep it going, Season 5!
