This week I decided was the week to have a love/hate relationship for Ben. First you hate older Ben, and then you feel really sorry for younger Ben....but then again at times young Ben got a little creepy.
This episode was a bit more old school as some people might say...with more traditional flashbacks to flesh out what happend to Sayid when he was working for Ben and afterwards.
At first I liked this episode, but after a few days I have found its just an ok episode....with a hell of an ending. I never thought that we would see anyone try and kill young Ben...even if he does turn into an evil dude eventually.
There were a few good moments....Hurley working in the kitchen.
Seeing Sayid caring for Ben when his father is being abusive to him.....that didnt last long.
Burning Dharma Van! thats all i can say.
Another good moment was when Oldham tying Sayid to a tree, and giving him a hallucinagen, to get him to tell the truth. He does, and no one believes him, which hey its time travel, I probably wouldnt believe that.
And of course the End of the episode, when it looks like Sayid and Ben are going to make their escape from the Dharma, Sayid all of a sudden decides to kill young Ben...because as the older Ben had told him...he was a killer.
Sayid has always been a favorite character of mine, with many dementions, but this episode he seemed very one dementional at points.
This episode just seemed lax...and didnt really blow our mind untill the end. It seems that was all this episode was working up to, and it didnt do a great job with it.
As with all Lost episodes, it is almost always better then other episodes of other shows, I just believe that the writers fell short of their goal in this episode, but the actors did a good job with what they had.
Especially loved Naveen Andrews performance while he was under the halucinigens.
Untill next week all.

Lost: The Last Few Episodes
I must be the worst updater...but anyway.
The Last two episodes have been awesome. We are getting into both the mythos, Dharma, and getting to what our Losties are doing.
While there is no more flashbacks or flashforwards, we still have some centricty, which helps some viewers. But after having been a fan of this show for so long, I am used to how it moves and flows. And the last two episodes have had great flow.
Dharma has been a big mystery to us, and many thought we would see it in more flashbacks, but I'm glad that the writers and producers have surprised us with the time travel aspect to actually let us live in the Dharma years.
The one downside to Lost is that there may be too many characters...I was missing Locke in the last episode. But you know that if someone isnt highly in one episode, they will surely be in the next.
Before we learned of who Amys baby might be I swore it was Tom. After all...he said he had father issues....and Horace did drink...but Alas, Ausiello said it was not Tom. It was Between: Ethan, Desmond, Jacob, and someone else who I cant remember now. Automatically, I figured it out that it would be Ethan, and it turns out I was right. No wonder he knew the Island so well, and could come and go with out being seen.
I really hope we see more of Amy, shes a great character, and I have sense she could be very important to this show.
Something else Ive loved seeing the past two episodes is the Juliet Sawyer stuff, they seem very at home with each other, and mesh very well. They make a great couple. So I am now a Suliet, and a Jater. I dont think Jack and Juliet belong together. Neither do Kate and Sawyer. Juliet, and Sawyer just work, as do Kate and Jack...sometimes.
Another great thing we saw this episode was another view of the 315ers crash...and we saw that Frank is the best pilot ever born. Next time I fly, I want him as my pilot.
So far he has landed a helicopter on the island during a freak storm with out a scratch, and landed a plane and a runway on the secondary island with many people surviving. Which we finally find out that it was a Runway they were building in Season 3...so did the Others know what was going to happen, or were trying to come up with another way to land on the Island perhaps? Perhaps both...we dont know yet.
It should be interesting to see how the 3 seperate groups handle things, and how Sun and Frank meet up with the 1970's Losties. While some dont want to see the survival stories again, it might be interesting to see a whole nother group in those situations....especially since Locke is with them as well as Ben...who I know believe is wholy evil.
By the way...Go Sun knocking him out. She is the most changed character through out the seasons.
As always Lost leaves me wanting more, but that is what it is all about...its a show that hooks us into a great story line, something not alot of shows do these days.
On a side note, the shows that do do that like Kyle XY, and Pushing Daisies were cancelled by ABC, and ABC Family.
I wonder if Lost had premiered now, if they would keep it?
Untill next time.
