sheryden | LOST--Dead is Dead (spoilers)

* I can't believe I'm saying this, but younger, horse-riding Charles Widmore is kind of hot.

* So if little Ben doesn't remember getting shot, it must've awkward when he strolled into Dharmasville, and everyone was all "Wow, you look good for having been shot!"

* Surprised!Ben is so lying. He had no idea Locke would come back. D:

* Let's hear it for creepy young Ethan! So eager and bloodthirsty. D:

* D'aw, baby Alex.

* Watching Richard's face during the whole Ben/Charles confrontation over Alex was interesting. He looked as excited as I do over an AHA moment on LOST.

* So I'm not sure if I believe Ben when he says he doesn't remember Jack and company. If he doesn't, that might mean that everyone will be flashing back to the future soon.

* When Locke told Sun he was the same man he always was, my reaction was "Yeah, right, you creepy old man." He's already back to annoying the heck out of me, though.

* I'm really missing my regular Sayid appearances. At least they threw us a bone and gave us Desmond.

* Speaking of Desmond... Eek! I was a little concerned when Ben shot him.

* The whole Ben/Penny thing pretty much happened the way I thought it would--and I wasn't spoiled. It was the first thing this season that was kind of a letdown, because he didn't surprise or intrigue me. I mean, I'm glad she and Des are both fine, but I wasn't riveted.

* Still, Angry!Desmond beating on Ben was fun to watch.

* Smokey!Alex was creepy. I'd rather not see that again. Yikes.

* Speaking of creepy, Ilana has gotten there rather quickly. She's still a knockout, though. Damn.

* Aw, bruised and battered Frank...
