Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham
I’m just going to say it; all episodes from this season are amazing. Last weeks journey back to the island left us with plenty of questions. Here’s is what Losties in cyberspace are wondering about:
- How did hero Hurley learn of Ajira flight 316 from his jail cell, with time to spare to buy up all the seats? Why did Hurley bring a guitar? Was it to re-create Charlie’s presence on the original flight, or is it for Charlie on the Island?
- Why is Sayid in cuffs, and how did he learn about the flight?
- Are passenger Caesar and Sayid’s escort Ilana just unlucky schmucks who are about to land on Lost Island, or are they undercover O6 escorts sent by Team Hawking?
- What kind of magical childcare did Kate find for Aaron?
- Who beat up Ben Linus and why? I mean, beating up Ben is all in good fun, but it’s hard to get the drop on the dude, so who done it?!
- If there was no crash of Ajira 316, did the Losties just flash out of the plane, and if so, how is that going to be explained short of an episode of Fringe?
More specifically here is what I’m thinking:
Why was ben black and blue? Did he get in a fight with Desmond while trying to kill Penny? Did he kill Penny? Where is Aaron? Did Kate seduce Jack and get pregnant before boarding the plane to re-create Claire’s pregnancy on the original flight? Is that why Sayeed got arrested? To re-create Kate being on the plane with a Federal Marshal? Did Sayeed confess to killing those Whidmore guys so Hurley could be set free from jail? Hurley with Charlie’s guitar? It was all so subtle, yet so perfect.
Tonight, like a bunch of unfortunate polar bears and Ben Linus before him, Locke turns the wheel and ends up in Tunisia and then the Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham plays out.
It appears more and more likely that John Locke’s existence will not end in that casket. Too much left to do.
