He's the man who killed me.

So many great little moments in this one. Walt was a nice surprise. Makes me glad that I cover up the opening credits so i don't recognize any names.

Why did Ben kill Locke after saving him? Was he only after Eloise Hawking? It seems like once he had that info, he didn't need Locke anymore.

I guess Ben had no idea that Locke would revive when he was back on the island. I can't wait to see what happens when Ben wakes up.

What's this coming war all about? Does widmore really want the Ocianic 6 back on the island, or was he just using Locke to get back there? Maybe he meant if HE'S not on the island (Widmore), then the wrong side (Ben) will win. Is this the war against black and white?

It's frustrating when 90+% of the show is in flashback, much of which could have been assumed by the viewer...but you knew last week when they set up all the ham-fisted mysteries that we'd spend a lot of time in the coming weeks going back to see how everyone got on the plane, including Locke.

I regret that they gave us the "Locke lives" reveal so early, b/c I then felt nothing when he was on the verge of suicide only to then be murdered. A scene that should have been an emotional roller coaster for the viewer left me with a "get on with it" feeling b/c I knew in the next scene he'd be fine on the island.

Walt WAS a nice surprise, but I'm not sure if there was a point. I'd like to see Walt on the island again, playing a meaningful role in the narrative.

I really liked the scene between Locke and Kate. I can't recall those two interacting much of the years...

So do we know what year it is on the island for Locke, Ben, Lopidis, Sun, and the newbies? Nice touch to have Lopidis/Sun swipe the passenger list.
