my patience is waning with lost. Kinda wish I'd never watched it. Watching it because I feel obligated to sucks.

I could buy that for the others, but not for Walt. Ben shot Locke and left him for dead, so I seriously doubt he'd send a vision of Walt to convince him to get up and get to work.

You read too much into what I said. Ben's just able to utilize the island's power -- but he's not the only one able to.

Oh, OK. I agree with that.

That may well be my favorite episode of the series. The season, by far.

So Ben can't kill Charles. And Michael can't kill himself. But people are killed on the island. WTF?

So if Ben controls the smoke, why did he kill Mr. Eko?

I'm tired of Ben. The original cast is being reduced to trees with shocked expressions and patsies. This show is becoming the world's largest ball of string: I'll go and see it briefly if I'm in the neighborhood, and return to the car thinking what the hell possessed them to think it was a good idea to make it.

With the notable exceptions of Sayid, Locke, and Desmond (who isn't even an original), Ben is way more interesting than the original cast members IMO.

His levels of sarcasm and dryness I can only hope to one day hit.

I thought it was hilarious that Ben had a shotgun hidden the whole time. The look on Sawyer's face was priceless when he saw it.
