Liveblog: Dead is Dead

Back in Ohio this week. Here we go!

• Previously on Lost: All sorts ofBen Linus stuff.
• Now, somedude riding a horse. And talk of Jacob! "The island chooses who the island chooses." - Richard Alpert.
• This guy looks all medieval and stuff. He's there to see Ben. Is this Widmore?
• Ben wantsto staywith the Others. Big surprise. Here is where Ben starts to become an Other.
• YES!!!! It IS Widmore!!!
• Wasthat a big flashback for old Ben?
• Land of the living my ass. These people are all dead. They have to be.
• I never believe this guy. Going to be judged.
• OH. By the Monster. Hmph.

I need to turn the cc off. And do the plank.

• Assassin lady. I didn't like her on New Amsterdam, and I don't like her now.
• What the heck was that exchange all about?
• And we still don't know who this guy is. He packed a gun. Ben is playing him.
• Alex is back in this episode.
• WTF Ben, you're an ass. He's making alliances.
• Ah, remember the good ol' days when he was Henry Gale? Benry, as we called him?
• Nice hair. Whoa, that's Ethan. Crazy. This is the late 80's-early 90s? Oh, 80's.
• He took Alex. That sucks. Poor Danielle.
• Ben didn't have the heart to kill Danielle. He was just getting started back then.
• So he really did love Alex, did he.
• The Elephant in the Room = the fact that you fucking KILLED ME.
• See, I knew it. Ben needed that information. The lady.
• B'whaaaa???? Decided to help Ben?!
• John Locke is a changed man since his death.
• Oh, Cesar. And that whole "My Friend" thing among certain men.
• Wow. Ben totally just shot Cesar. "Consider that my apology."

• Row, row, row... ok - couldn't help it.
• Oh yeah, who the hell beat Ben up? I can't remember.
• Aha. He wants to be judged for letting Alex die. Love it.
• Widmore, still ontheisland, eh?
• Complication my ass - he just couldn't kill her. Ben used to have a heart.
• And Ben questions Charles for the first time. Is it what Jacob wants? Is it?
• Goooooood question John! Whose idea was it?
• Whoa.... there's a freakin' person in Alex's room!!!! Alex? Be that you?
• Ha! Sun!
• Whoaaaaa... Christian came to tell them to wait for John! Freakin' nuts!!!!

• It's interesting that Lapidis is there at all.
• Aw... Sun + Jin Forever!
• I love Terry and Michael. Love them.
• So Ben CAN summon the monster. We guessed he might have last season when it came after Kiwi and his men. (Yes, I know it's Keamy, but I like to call him Kiwi.)
• Ew. WTF. Was that like a big toilet flush???
• God, Ben's hair is AWFUL.
• So this is how Charles leaves.
• Whoa. Charles was kinda right, eh? If the island wants her dead, she'll be dead. And so she died.
• So is Ben being judged because he KEPT Alex?
• Ben is scared... because he thinks they may be dead too, is my guess. Because that is what I fucking think.
• Hahahah! He told Sun to go back in fearing the monster, and it was just Locke. Oy.
• What da huh? John says he knows where Smoky is? Psh.

• Liar. John is not the same. Not JUST the same, at least.
• What. Ben kills Penny, eh? Nah. Don't believe it. But we will see how Ben got all beat up.
• Where the hell is that? The wall around our temple? Wha?
• UNDER the temple... isn't that where those dudes got sucked in by the monster? The ones that were with Danielle?
• WHAT? So he DID kill Penny? WTF. Fucking A.
• Is that supposed to be Long Beach? Yup. A sign for Catalina. Interesting.
• He can't kill a kid. Or can he?
• AHA! So Des beat the crap out of Ben. Love it. Love it!!!!

• What the fuckery is this? Ilana isin charge now? Geeze. I hate newbies.
• And this temple thing. This is just weird.
• Dude, that's totally where Ben needs to be.How does John NOT knowthat?
• What's with the hieroglyphics?
• WHOA! The monster existed back then!
• And now it's SURROUNDING Ben!!!!
• These FX are not that great.
• Ugh, that is so sad when Alex got shot. Hate these FX.
• That's not Alex. That's Smoky. Just like Eko saw his bro.
• So, Ben was going to kill Locke again. Adn I think he's lying when he ays he'll follow him.
• That's one long piece of vine John found.

This episode should have been amazing.... but it was - ugh. Maybe I need to think about it further. Maybe I'm just distracted from being here. In Ohio. Bored. Ugh.

Okie dokie. That's all I gotta say for now. Just not enlightened.
