Episode 7: The Life and Death of Jeremy Benthem

The episode that we have been waiting for since we found out Locke was in the coffin. And the first person we see in the episode is a new character: Ceaser

We dont know much about him except he has assumed a semi leadership status among the new crashers or 316ers, and he likes to hide guns. A mysterious character, we dont know much about him...of course. But something tells me he holds some importance.

We also find out in this first scene that the pilot and some woman took an outrigger that was already on the Hydra or "Alcatraz" Island that the 316'ers crashed on...or did they successfully land?

So the Pilot was Frank...and I'm guessing the other woman is Sun...since we have no idea where she is.

It was also pointed out in some theory's that i have read that the map that ceaser found in the station in the first scene was Daniel's map. Which further proves my theory that the losties get sent back in time live there for a while among the dharma while just trying to survive. From the preview of next weeks episode, I think were going to find out for sure.

Next we see Abbadon, and then Charles Widmore. And I dont know, but now i think hes the good guy.

We find out that Locke was transported three years into the future, that Widmore has been watching the Tunsinia site that Locke and Ben both exited out of the Island, and that Ben tricked him into being exiled as well. He sounded so sincere. And after all Ben has done...I'm tending to lean over to Widmore's side.

His explanation for the freighter people: "I needed to extract Ben Linus." He just hired the wrong people to do it. Cause seriously I dont think he would have had them kill Alex. He has his own daughter after all.

Onto Penny. Some have been doing the math on this one and think that she is the daughter of Chrales and someone else that we dont know yet and was born on Island. Now imagine if that person was Juliet? Maybe, but probably not. Or maybe shes the daughter of Widmore and Eloise Hawking which would make her Daniel Faraday's Half or maybe even full sister??? Oh the implications. We will have to wait and find out.

We also see Matthew Abbadon..someone who has been in an almost haunting state on this show so far. He works for Widmore and he "gets people where they belong." I began to like him even more, because this meant that he was special...and I begin to wonder...how much else has he influenced the characters??? But alas....Ben kills him!!! Evil ben...another reason why I want someone to kill that dude. Or beat him up at least. Now I do love the actor, Michael Emerson is fabulous...and deserves an Emmy, plus hes from where I live, so thats always a plus.

Locke visits Sayid who is building homes...yeah for him!! doing some good in this world after what Ben has put him through. He seems happy doing it. Until Locke comes around gives him his shpeel. Which begs me to wonder.

Why did Sayid come back to the U.S? Why did he break Hurley out? Or how did he know he needed to?

Locke then goes to visit Walt!! Finally we see him again...Though I seriously hope we see more of him in the future. Walt tells Locke that hes having dreams about him. more signs that he is special. So where is he going to pop up next.

Kate's visit goes normally, but I was kinda hopping we would see Locke with Aaron.

Next he goes to visit his old girlfriends grave, abbadon gets killed by ben, Locke gets in a car accident and winds up in Jacks hospital realizing that Christian is Jacks father.

Locke being depressed tries to kill himself, but Ben stops him, just to kill Locke himself when Locke mentiones Eloise Hawking and goes all bug eyed. So what does this mean? Did Ben usurp Locke to Eloise? Is Eloise only helping Ben for a reason?

We then get back to the Island, and we end with Locke finding Ben who had been hurt in the 316 crash...dead, alive? Im guessing alive...they wouldnt kill him off so easily.

So at the end of this episode what do I think:

Lost is awesome...but we already knew that.

Theory: Dead people who come to the Island are resurrected, or become alive again, weve seen it with Christian, and weve seen it with Locke. So maybe Jacob is the same way?

All in all a great episode, kept us on our toes, and left us wanting for more. Best of all written by team Darlton. Every episode written by them is a gem. Why cant they write everyone...well they do have a show to run.

Till Next time. keep reading and watching Lost
