I love the show “Lost”, but was disappointed in a recent slump in the show, where the show’s producers didn’t seem to know what direction to put the show in, and so started adding useless characters that we don’t care about and don’t hang by the tv to see more of.  Also adding to the annoyance was a string of unrelated stories that seemed like filler.

But with this last episode, in which one of the show’s most beloved characters, John Locke, flashes back to his painful past of a con artist father who purposely crippled him by throwing him out of window, was definitely a good one with some quality content, that’s for sure.

Also, Kate goes back to get Jack, only to find him buddying up with the “others”.  She is perplexed by this, and the usually cool Jack just tells her he made a deal with them to go back home if he helped to get Ben, their leader, better, without even so much as a kiss goodbye (are these guys supposed to like eachother, or what, I’m confused by this Jack/Kate/Sawyer love triangle, if that’s even what you call it!_)

Anyways, we find out a little more about Ben, that he knows a lot, that he was born and grew up on the island, and that he is a big manipulator who plants thoughts into people’s heads without them even knowing he’s manipulating them.  The question now looming is, why was Locke able to walk again and Ben cannot, if he was born and raised on this mystical island? 

More questions, and I’m sure more to come.  Thoughts?  I’m leaning toward a new theory on Lost (at least it’s new to me).  I think it’s some sort of a parallel universe, an island lost in between dimensions - sort of a Bermuda Triangle thing, if you will.  Hmm…..
