Lost: Booooo

You're not helping me out with my Scripted Show Withdrawal, Lost. Last night's episode was horrible. Dull, no great reveals, and especially compared to last week's awesomeness, this just blew.

We got Juliet Flashbacks. Flashbacks!! Flashbacks are so 2007! WTF? The only thing we really learned from these is that Ben is obsessed with her and thinks she's his. OK, right. We kind of figured Ben was an obsessive creep. Next!

The only cool stuff involved Ben and Locke, as always. Because Ben, while locked in Locke's basement, somehow got a message to Juliet's therapist. Said therapist appeared to Juliet in the jungle (and Jack saw her too so she's not an illusion?) and told her to kill Charlotte and Jeremy Davies because they were going to kill everyone on the island. So was this therapist real and how the F did Ben get this message to her? That's our Mystery for this episode.

Really, Charlotte and J.D. were at the power plant - and yes, there is a power plant "hidden" on this island - to render the gas inert so that Ben could not use it to kill everyone on the island. Or so they said.

Locke let Ben out so that Ben could show him something he had locked in a safe. It was a videotape marked "Red Sox" that was actually a surveillance tape of Penny's dad, Charles Widmore. Ben says Charles is the Big Bad who owns the freighter and wants to find the island to exploit its power.

Even the ending was lame. No shocker, just Ben walking around the compound and Hurley and Sawyer all WTF? It made me laugh out loud actually. BFD!

I also am hating on the preview for next week: "A face from the past you thought you'd never see again." Gee, you don't mean the guy who has been in the credits this whole year that we've yet to see, do you? Say it ain't so! I'm gonna be soooo shocked!

Boo.
