This Ben centered episode takes us back to where it all began, the beach. It's great that they always seem to return to that spot where they first set up camp when they crashed. It's almost like going back home. The best part of this episode was at the end when Jack and Hurley (and Richard) returned to the beach and hugged Sun and shook hands with Lapidus, Miles, and Ilana.
Another great scene was when flash sideways Ben gave up his chance of becoming the new principal just so his student Alex could get a glowing recommendation from the current principal. I enjoyed the whole flash sideways as it had little nods and inside jokes/references calling "sideways" Ben a killer in a joking manner when in "real life" he was a killer.
I just remembered that the scene between Jack and Richard in the Black Rock was good, but definitely way more tense the first time I watched it. The island didn't let Jack kill Richard or himself.
Also, the scene where Ben gets the jump on Ilana in the forest where he decides not to shoot her. He asks to be let go and go to Locke because he's the only one that will have him. In a moment of forgiveness, Ilana said that she'd have him too, and he makes the right choice and chooses good. Really good scene.
So while this review may seem very scattered, this episode was full of really good scenes as I recalled them. I really enjoyed it.
And here comes Widmore....
