Live Blog: "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham"

Oy, almost missed it because I was so excited about No Doubt playing at Mandalay Bay and figuring that out....

• Ajeera passenger seems to be in a Dharma station, or something of the sort. He found the map or maps of the island, along with a shotgun
• Ah, so they call him Caesar. And she's Ilana.
• Nothing useful. I see what these kind of people are - LIARS - just like the rest of them. He's a BIG liar. Flashlight instead of a shotgun. Hahaha
• So they found a man wearing a suit - this would be John Locke, lady and gentleman.
• There are several people now. I suppose all survivors of Flight 316.
• Stupid ABC had to give away that John Locke was going to be in this episode. So what should have been an AHA!!!! moment - was sadly weh-weh disappointing.

• Wait, so there were three boats that were already there? Weird.
• Aha - so Walt is in this.
  
• Haha, guess. He will tell her the truth (did it already). She either knows that already, or doesn't believe a word he says.
• And flashback time! We get to see what happens to him, hopefully. This better not be one cocktease of an episode.
• So John is awake - in Tunisia, I bet!!!! And still with a broken leg.
• Yup, Tunisia. Ah, nothing like barfing after a strange time warp trip to Tunisia. With a camera on you. And strange wiring all over. He's no longer on the island, so he can't do much of anything, I suppose.
• Poor John, suffering a broken and probably paralyzed leg. Probably not totally paralyzed because he can feel the pain.
• This must be scary for him - random weirdos picking him up in the middle of the night. Because he's a secret. A big secret.
• Pills... pain? Poison? Passout drugs?
• OH! Scary guy from Fringe and last season.
• I hate when they make people bite down on something for pain. Oh got, they are going to - AAAACCCCHHHHHH...
• That. Was. Gross.
• Awake. With scary guy from Fringe. Wait, no. That's Widmore. I don't believe that John knows Mr. W. Or just W. Like the former Prez.
• OH right. He met him back in Alpert's camp.
• The Exit. Aha.
• Uh, yes. You DID come to bring them back. W knows.
• This must be a bit of shock for John.
• Hm. This... war... that W talks about.... Is Ben the opposition? Must be.... so why does Ben help them? Hm.

• Haha, they explain the Bentham thing. heeeeee.
• W has a point with the hasn't tried to kill Locke thing.
• Hunh... W won't let Locke die. Right.
• Abbadon, that's right. That's his name.
• Why does it seem like Abbadon is driving Locke to his death? He's so freakin freaky.
• Santo Domingo... ? Why there, Locke? Well, I should just be patient, eh?
• Ah, so Sayid is doing like a Habitat for Humanity thing in the DR? I GUESSSSSS.
• Sayid has a great point - he got to live with Nadia because he left the island. You can't argue with that JL.
• NYC. Is this where Walt comes in? Probably.
• Poor JL wants to find Helen again. Boo.
• Ha! I love how they address Walt's crazy growth too!
• Holy shizzzz... a little "awwwww" at the meeting of John and Walt.
• Damn, Walt has good dreams. Like good prescient dreams.
• Poor Walt - he doesn't know that his Dad is dead. And JL - I hope he doesn't have the heart to ask Walt back.
• I bet that ONE is Jack. The one he has to convince.
• Oh shizzy - BEN. With a look of eeeviiil.

Stupid internet here at the hotel is crap again. Man. Bah. Wah. Boo. Ack, just realized that the week of Mar 8 I will not get to truly liveblog. It will be more like lateblog. But I will stay up all night if I have to in order to watch the epi and post!!!!

• Ah, good old Santa Rosa. Home of the crazy people. And yet, it still looks like Hawaii. Just like everywhere else he has been.
• Haha, Hurley thinks JL is dead. That's awesome.
• And he just drops that bit o' kernel on Hurley? I mean, get a segue, yeah?
• Haha, Hurley was all freaked at Abbadon.
• I like how they are explaining a lot, revisiting past moments in this episode. It's like "In case you forgot all the crap that has happened, let us remind you."
• Oh, I would lurrrrv to hear what Abbadon would say.
• OH YEAH!!!! Holy shit, I didn't remember that Abbadon did all those things - the orderly, the Walkabout, the plane.... again. Thank you, writers for reminding me. Because it sure is a lot of information.
• JL needs a lot more finesse. He is not smooth like Ben with the whole manipulation thing.
• Aw..... JL is sharing. Sharing is caring. tell KayKay about Helen, there.
• I'm really loving this epi.
• Oh, snap! Wait - was that an insult, or a compliment. I mean, he's not so much angry as he is obsessed.
• Yeah, Abbadon is lying. Clearly. Because John doesn't need to get to her. Apparently.
• Oh. Well. She dead. Poor woman. I guess they couldn't bring Katie Sagal back? Or, well, it makes it a bit more interesting that she's dead I guess.
• Paths. I think it's safe to say that fate plays a big role on LOST, right? ;-)
• OH SHIZZZZ!!!! Ben is killing Abbadon!!!!!!!!
• All that, and it is still not how JL dies.

Yay. Internet normal again. For now.

• Tell me he isn't paralyzed AGAIN.
• Aha. Jack. John just happened to be brought into his hospital. And Jack is the one who will least believe him. Yet, becomes the one who will most believe him.
• Geeze Jack - he is already on the drugs. Wait - how did JL figure out - oh haha, process of elimination, obviously.
• This weird shadowy scene.... it's just odd.
  
• And here's where, in the preview, you see Ben making John hang himself.
  
• I wonder if John just decides to do this suicide thing on his own. I wonder if he recorded anything on that tape recorder, and if so, what?
• And will we ever hear it? He must've. And I bet Ben has it.
  
• Ok, so it IS John's idea, clearly, to commit suicide. For the greater good, right? Weird.
  
• Can you really hang yourself with an extension cord?
  
• God, Terry O'Quinn, how I have missed you.
  
• Oy. Benjamin Liar. Well, sometimes he tells the truth. But just to tell another lie.
  
• Geeze, who the hell to believe? That is a question we won't soon find out.
  
• So, Ben is doing this as a form of reverse psychology...?
• Does Ben just kill him himself? He probably does.
  
• Ha! John might have promised, but Ben didn't. Ben can bring Sun back. Oy, but Ben is going to have John killed. Or just do it himself. Like right now.
  
• Hm. Why does that name ring a bell for - I KNEW IT!!!!
• WTF. I guess John wasn't supposed to kill himself? He had to die another way? Ben sure has a lot of blood on his hands.
  

So, Ben needed to know how to get back - that's why he wouldn't let John die. But as soon as he figured it out... well, then it was fair game. John go bye-bye.

Gosh, for a minute, the internet hated me again. Maybe I shouldn't be so angry at it. I should love the internet connection here, caress it with kind words... "O, lovely internet connection. Please do your best to ensure that this blog stays as live as possible and doesn't get mistakenly deleted because the page doesn't load. Thank you."

• Oh yeah, Ben... clean up that huge mess you made. And make it look like John did what he intended to do. Greater good, right?
• Nasty boy! Taking Jin's ring to convince Sun. Well, it worked, but still.
• God, Ben is crazy.
  
• So Caesar is looking at the Dharma files then, eh?
• Is John corp- well yeah, he's corporeal - he was eating that mango.
• Aha, so that's why the plane isn't with the others. They must've ended up in different times.
• Oh, did Ben get hurt? Is Ben one of the hurt?!?!?!?! He must be!!!!!
• LOVE IT!!!! "He's the man who killed me."

Wow... that preview... awesome!!! "Is three years long enough to get over someone?"

Well, I don't know if this episode was just OBVIOUS, but I feel like I was a bit of a smarty watching it, which of course makes me really love it :-) And any episode with a scene between Terry and Michael - well, genius doesn't cut it. It's so great to have Terry O back. It's really a great thing!

Can't wait until next week! I wonder if it's Char that has the sack on her head. Who else would it be?
