Ben is Just Misunderstood

Lost is back with a vengeance. Last night was a pretty packed episode. I really didn’t think that Alex was going to get the bullet. It was also a shock that Ben appeared to control Smokey. But I have some gripes about a few things, like Jack getting appendicitis without knowing… Really? He’s a freakin’ doctor and he doesn’t have a clue? Typical. I guess it’s not Lost without Jack collapsing from an ailment only due to his stubbornness (see season one, where he collapses from exhaustion, or nearly kills himself chasing his father, or season 3 where he collapses from being doped up from pain killers).
Some nice touches: Ben appearing in the Sahara in a parka - wearing Dr. Halliwax’s parka. The Risk game, where Hurley exclaims that “Australia is the key to the game”. The hieroglyphic ladened rock hatch that Ben escapes into to supposedly control smokey. Ben bringing up the boat “Elizabeth”, obviously lying - but it was a nice touch.

I really don’t have any theories now, I’m just waiting for some more episodes. But it is getting closer to the end, and it seems to be picking up pace. I’m getting the feeling that Juliet will be killed soon. Next week - Jack collapses from an ailment.
