Ben manipulating Cesar near the beginning of the episode was hysterical. It was like a cat playing with a mouse before killing it. And that's exactly what Ben did, assuming the gun was actually loaded with live ammunition. Whether Cesar is dead or not, that was an excellent apology Ben gave to Locke, though.
Is it another Ben lie or and Island mystery or continuity problem -
Ben said he didn't know Jack, Kate and Hugo were in the D.I. but he remembered being taken to the temple as a child. All three are legitimate reasons as of now.
Ileana and company came to the island with a purpose, probably on Widmore's behalf.
They can explain that anytime...please... I'm tapping my toe until they do.
Was Charles banished from the island "just" for breaking the rules?

S5 Ep11 "Whatever Happened, Happened"
OY, this makes my head hurt. No wonder Hurley can't get a handle on "the rules" of past, present and future.
=========
Although...I love the way this ep had some totally random reactions. Jack's apparently decided to get really serious about his "not interfering" program, which I find amusing, so thanks Jack.
Ugh ... Kate. I have such mixed feelings about her. Have never liked the sense of entitlement she has in regards to Aaron.
Sawyer and Kate decide that Ben really has to be saved, even knowing that he's not going to die anyway because he never did die. Sayid and Jack will probably get the blame, but I think the two of them made the most conscious choice about the later evil.
I liked both Jack and Kate having people tell them that they're at heart completely selfish people, though I thought Jack was a bit more honest with his "I came back because I was supposed to" than Kate with her "I needed him! I wanted to protect him!" Also Jack cracked me up making sandwiches in the background.
Poor Juliet, too, was so pathetic having to yell at Jack for coming back and ruining her perfect life because she had to put Sawyer and Kate in close proximity. Now she's going to lose her to him.
==========
Oh, and SQUEEEEEEEE - Locke! ""Welcome back to the land of the living."

S5 Ep10 "He's Our You"
Quick thoughts:
I can see this is there where Juliet saves little Ben's life, therefore condemming herself as his obsession. Poor Juliet. she saves Ethan's life and probably Ben's. She's the reason they are alive to torture her and many others.
I cheered when Sawyer verbally cut Jack down last episode, but now, I'm not so sure about Sawyer's leadership skills. I don't remember Jack ever standing by as one of his own got tortured, and I know he never voted for someone's death. Bad showing, Sawyer.
Happy that Sawyer went over to talk to Kate about her reason for being there rather then just being overcome with feelings towards her. But Kate once again is hiding from him. It's too bad she couldn't spit out "I was going to let you die until I suddenly decided to come back and it's still not for you."
Also happy that Juliet's staying away was just her being nice again. Juliet is not the petty jealous type. She's a lot nicer then she should be.

S5 Ep9 "Namaste"
A few questions answered and a few more cropping up.
Why wasn't Sun taken in the flash? How did Ilana know that the pilot and Sun took a boat to the big island--they seemed to be alone when it happened, although I suppose they found Ben and he told them what happened. He managed to add the lie about the passenger manifest before he passed out and was taken to the "hospital."
Loved LaFleur's smackdown of Jack, didn't love the lingering glance between him and Kate. Glad they addressed the fact that the people you're living with are mostly gonna be dead, and what are you gonna do about it?
A good cop knows the troublemakers on his beat before long, and I have to believe that Jim's come across Roger Linus, the loudmouth drunk janitor, before. Jim may not have actually chatted with his lonely son, but he must be aware he's there. I can imagine Sayid whispering to him next visit, "Ben Linus came by to give me a sandwich, he's thirteen and already precociously creepy! Can we kill him now, huh, can we?".
Then LaFleur can shake his head slowly and say "Well, it's complicated."
===========
Time for some shut-eye.

S5 Ep8 "LaFleur"
Sawyer got some eyeglasses again.
Laughed out loud when Sawyer made the crack about Richard's "eyeliner."
Loved that Juliet was working as a mechanic; always fixing machinery one way or another. How cool was it to see an entire fleet of Volkswagen vans?
Sawyer's talk with Horace was very touching. He's finally got over Kate and bam! Now Kate shows up at the end like a harbinger of death to Sawyer's and Juliet's utopic life. Way to bring us back to their "reality."

S5 Ep7 "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham"
Alrighty!
BEN! So evil. That whole scene was so weird. The Jin revelation seemed to turn the conversation, and then the name "Eloise Hawking" seemed to be what made Ben go from "you must live" to "I must kill you now."
Frank took the outrigger? I want to know where the heck the boats came from, but more, I want to know WHEN Sayid and Sun are. If Jack, Kate, and Hurley are in the 70s or so, and the other 316-folk are in the present-ish, are Sayid & Sun then, now, or sometime in-between?
==========
Hurley's reaction at seeing Locke cracked me up. He was just assuming Locke was dead and being all "What's up - so that's how you kicked it huh?"

S5 Ep6 "316"
I hope it's explained why, sooner than later, Kate and Hurley had a change of heart. I think with Hurley it was probably Charlie. Hurley must be bringing the guitar for when he does see Charlie, perhaps?
Why Kate made the decision to go back I have no idea. I do think she loves Aaron and whatever changed her mind she thinks she doing the best thing that will keep him safe.
When Ben said he needed to keep an old promise to a friend, I was thinking "No! Leave Penny alone!" It was probably Desmond that gave him the smackdown. Cracked me up Ben is reading the Odyssey.
Theory: How Aaron and possibly Ji Yeon will get back to the island. They may show up on the island as adults. Time will move faster than in the real world and the island. Aaron and/or Ji Yeon wanting to search for their parents will be able to when the next pocket opens up. I know it sounds crazy but with this show you never know. Especially since it looks like Locke may be undead.

S5 Ep5 "This Place Is Death"
They upped the gore factor. Ripped off arms, bones through legs, close ups of bullet holes in heads and fly-infested corpses. Graphic.
It seems Ben may not have known Eloise is Daniel's mother. His reaction was curious to me.
Could Daniel's warning to Charlotte come at the same time we saw him working on the Orchid station while the Dharma people were building it? I thought that was part of the "moving through time" flashes but now I'm not so sure. Either way how he was there is yet to be explained but it would tie in with Charlotte knowing him as a child.
I got a little claustrophobic when that flash came while Locke was halfway down the well. Just imagining the walls closing in as though the well hadn't been built yet is a bit much for me.
"Say hello to my son for me." Heh heh heh

S5 Ep4 "The Little Prince"
Jin! Rousseau! Squeeeeee! I'm so pleased to see them again. Jin has been close enough in proximity to the island that he's time-skipping along with them.
The Oceanic 6 plot is mundane compared to the time-travel stuff on the Island that you'd think it would be boring or at least that the episodes would be causing serious mood whiplash, but that's not happening for me.
It's partly because I've grown to enjoy Ben so much, but I think the suspense has been real and earned and watching the characters come together despite being in such different places is really interesting. I mean, they managed to actually significantly alter the Jack/Kate dynamic, in a way that makes me like them both better. Awesome.
========
(No, I'm not rambling and I haven't had too much caffeine these past few days. What? Huh? Squirrel!) I crack myself up...
=======
No, Miles and Juliet are being affected, too! It was bad enough when it was just Charlotte. I don't want anyone to die.
I'm going to admit that the scene of Sawyer watching Kate and Claire made me cry. I don't even know why, but it seriously hit me.
Also, Ben's casual confession of being the one who sent the lawyer after Kate cracked my shit up. "No, She's right. It was me. Sorry." Hee.

S5 Ep3 "Jughead"
Observations:
1) This is the first time that I've doubted Faraday being a good guy. I find myself questioning if anything he says is true. He definitely seems more assertive now, much more confident and in control, without any particular explanation as to why he has stepped up. He doesn't seem like the same guy who freaked out when he got pushed out of a helicopter.
2) I'm starting to think that the reason Richard is never the leader of the Others is because Richard can't see Jacob. Only the "chosen one" can see Jacob, such as in the case of Ben. Locke went with Ben to visit Jacob, but Locke never really saw Jacob. He only heard his voice. But since Locke is only a quasi-leader at best, that sort of makes sense. Of course, if Richard, the only immortal guy on the island, can't see Jacob, one has to wonder why. Can Jacob appear to anyone he wants? Or only to one specific person at a time? Or is it something more timey-wimey than that? Jacob might turn out to be one of the those who eventually gets trapped back in time? All things seem possible now...
Regardless of all that, my impression is that Jacob is the ultimate leader of the Others, and always has been. But that he can only act through a surrogate (I can only assume that's because Jacob is a dead guy), and that that surrogate is never Richard. My guess, because Richard cannot see Jacob, for whatever reason.

S5 Ep2 "The Lie"
I like:
* Ana Lucia telling Hurley not to get arrested. Libby says hi!
* Hurley telling his mom the real story. Heartbreaking that he has had to hold all this in.
* How Sayid is tough enough to strangle someone the second he regains consciousness.
Don't like:
* Toddler Aaron. He's annoying even in his limited screentime.
Questions to ponder:
Why Charlotte is the only non-crashee (Boat person?) showing "symptoms"? Wouldn't Miles have them too?
I thought Faraday was the only one with a constant. Am I missing something?

S5 Ep1 "Because You Left"
===============
Ok, sooo. Yeah.
Everyone on the island seems to be jumping through time, but remaining on the island.
People on the mainland are trying to decide whether or not they should go back to the island.
=================
The island is like a record, and it's skipping
Things are not where they should be because they haven't built things or discovered things in the alternate timeline as yet.
Sawyer has a problem with starting over.
Understandable.

S4 E14 "There's No Place Like Home, pt 3"
Sooooooo much to process. Highlights:
Des and Penny - the second I saw the captions reading "speaking Portuguese" I was in tears.
Sun absolutely broke my heart - more tears over here.
Incredible acting job in the helicopter. So frantic: no sense, no chance to plan, just where you were standing dictated whether you lived or died. (that, and the script)
Jin? Probably dead ... but until I see a body I dont have to fully believe it ...
Michael is “free” now though. When will Walt find out his Dad is dead?
Awww, Sawyer thinks Kate is dead. But he got a great kiss for the road.
Oh and the Desmond drowning fake out? Squeee.
-=========
Lines that killed me:
“You just killed everyone on that boat!”. “So?”
Jack’s “Don’t let him find you Desmond” line.
===========
OK so “very bad things”
Is Sayid working with Ben to gather the Six for a return to the island? Or is he really taking Hurley “somewhere safe”? Was the man he killed Ben’s or Widmore’s? The wildcard here is Desmond, presumably he’s off somewhere hiding with Penny (hell after all the time that’s past they could be married with kids) but in the “all of you must return to the island” scene he is not mentioned.
And what about Sun? Who is she talking about with Widmore when she said “we weren’t the only ones who left the island”?
Does Sun want to go back or does she just want revenge? Either way she’s awesome. Oh and at best, Locke is only mostly dead.

S4 E13 "There's No Place Like Home, pt 2"
Short list until the last part of the ep... (Netflix has it in 3 parts)
Who is "Jeremy Bentham" and why do we care about his obituary?
Walt has to be about 27 now
Locke tells Jack that he'd like him to stay on the island. ...Yeaaaaaaaah, that's not gonna happen.
Charlotte is staying on the island. I hope Locke likes her since he can't have Jack.

Sayid is reunited with Nadia afterward
Hurley freaks out when he has the numbers in the odometer of the camaro
At Christian Shephard's wake, Claire's mother introduces herself to Jack and tells him that Claire was his sister.
Awkward, much?
================
On the island:
Daniel listens in on Keamy's communications with the Sat Phone. The mercenaries are headed to Orchid.
Juliet claims not to know what that is
Jack and Kate take the satellite phone and head off after the chopper. They run into Miles, Sawyer & Aaron.
Kate takes Miles and Aaron back to the beach, Jack and Sawyer continue to the chopper.
Frank is handcuffed to the chopper. He tells them that if they free him, he'll fly them off the island before Keamy captures Ben. They will kill whoever is with Ben.
Sawyer says Hurley is with Ben, so Sawyer & Jack go to save Hurley.
Sayid arrives on the beach. He's going to ferry people to the freighter.
Kate tells him Jack and Sawyer are going after the chopper, so Sayid and Kate go to find them.

Meanwhile back on the ship:
Jin & Sun are a little freaked out to see Michael.
The engines are working again, but there's RF interference.
Desmond sets out to find it.

S4 E11 "Cabin Fever"
Holy crap. Holy crap. Holy crap.
I don't even know what to say. There was so much! Awesome. Just, mind-twistingly awesome.
Destiny is a fickle bitch. But yeah, I think that Locke is there to replace Ben. Locke was probably meant for the island all along (preemie babies in the 50s/60s didn't have a whole lot going for them.) Once Locke became paralyzed they kept Ben in play as the leader - I theorize, at least - until Locke could get to the island.
So, are Alpert and Abbadon two alternate forces working on Locke? Light and dark? Would they really go there? When Abbadon showed up and we hadn't seen his face yet, I thought it might be time-travely Walt, because of the way he called him "Mr. Locke." But having watched Fringe I know that's Lance Reddick and we've seen him before.
Claire at the cabin was so... odd. I'm starting to think that Aaron is Jacob. (nooooooo... this isn't possible, not really. I reserve the right to change my mind.)
Move the island? WTF?!?
I love all the little details. The knife. The comic. The little jar of... volcanic ash? The drawing of Smokey?
Sooooo much stuff to think about from this. My mind is spinning.
=================
(OOPS - forgot to hit publish on a few entries) My time stamps are off now.
All caught up now on blogging and publishing (had a whoopsie for a few hours) and according to calculations, I should be able to start watching the finale on my Tivo before it finishes broadcasting. I'll even be able to get some shuteye tonight.

S4 E10 "Something Nice Back Home"
On the island:
I am Jack's appendicitis. Oh that's gotta suck. HARD.
Juliet will do the honors, but she needs supplies from the medical station. Sun, Jin, Daniel & Charlotte head out.
Jin realizes that Charlotte can understand him & Sun when the speak in Korean. He tells her if she doesn't get Sun off theisland he's going to hurt Daniel.
Jin = bad-ass
Jack insists on going through the surgery fully awake to talk Juliet through it
Kate will hold a mirror so he can see what's going on. This will not end well.
Jack = not so bad-ass
Juliet has to knock him out after all. Surgery is a success.
Juliet tells Kate that she thinks Jack hearts Kate.
=================
Flash Forward:
Jack and Kate live with Aaron
Jack sees Christian at the hospital
Jack visits Hurley, who isn't doing too well at the asylum. Charlie visited and told Hurley that Jack isn't "supposed to raise him"
Why? BOO!
