Bentham? I don't even know him!
cool episode but mellow and mostly answery instead of raising more questionsy - mostly.
one thing i was iffy on was that Locke's talk with Jack didn't correspond with Jack's recollection of the talk we've heard previously (its all your fault, everyone is going to die if you dont return, etc).
another is the timeline - i'm guessing Locke had to have been in the hospital for a couple days at least after talking to Jack or something, yet the day Locke dies is the first time Jack flew to try and crash? the way they explained it back then he had been flying a lot with his golden ticket, but how many times can u really fly to australia from LA, takes a day(ish) to get there, day to come back - Jack was fully bearded and reading the obit when we saw him flying back a few seasons ago. the funeral couldnt have been more than a couple weeks (at absolute most) from Locke's death - and we know he was found the night of his death cause of the obit - so thats all kind of weird.
either Ben didnt know about Hawking being in LA or didn't know Locke knew about her, either way i thought that was when he decided to kill him (again).
So why did he stay away from the six for three years THEN suddenly decide to contact them? maybe it's cause he JUST learned about Hawking being in LA and knew she would know where the island was - maybe then he figured he didn't need John after all and he could get back in the island/Jacobs good graces if he could get back there? The ring was his in with Sun, and he was right there. But why did Ben kill Locke then go thru all the trouble to get him back on the island? Remember when Michael was trying to kill himself but the island wouldn't let him? Maybe Ben knows the island wouldn't let Locke kill himself, but knows the only way he can return is if Locke is dead... easier to just do it than tell him what has to be done. Although if anyone could convince Locke to "relax, let me kill you," it would be Ben
Widmore was 17 - it was 4 days ago... awesome!! Obviously neither of these guys are to be trusted - it seemed like Abbadon was playing on Locke's insecurities the whole time. "Are you going to stop pretending you don't remember me as the orderly that told you to go on your walkabout after you broke your legs?" heh heh... ok, plenty of questions rasied about Widmore and Ben and Alpert and who leads the others when...
who left with Lapidus? people are saying Sun, but why wouldn't she and Sayid have flashed back with the other 6? Because if everyone (Aaron, Des) doesn't return the results are 'unpredictable'? could be it, and I guess that would make sense.
so was Ben having the runway built on the other island a few seasons ago because he knew this was all going to happen? i think so... sorta.
and um....last season when Walt visited Hurley, they both talk about meeting with Jeremy Bentham - when did Locke reveal his alias to either of them?
guessing this was a goof cause they couldn't call Bentham Locke last season - they'll use the Walt's psychic excuse or something :)
