Lost: Smokey Returns, or: Badass Ben

Well that time flew by. Lost is back already. And it's on hella late now. Dagger. Good thing this was a really good episode!

The Beach: The doctor from the freighter washes ashore and his throat is slit. Jeremy Davies contacts his people on the boat and asks what happened to him and they're all, what? the doctor's here and he's fine. K. Also, Jack is coming down with a mystery illness (the preview for next week said appendicitis).

Ben's Compound: Dudes in military outfits with guns take Ben's daughter hostage and demand to speak with Ben. There's an unintentionally funny shootout sequence. Sawyer is running to get Claire from her house, all the military guys are shooting a million bullets at him and they don't ever hit him. But they do kill 3 miscellaneous people. And Sawyer uses a picnic table as cover. And then a rocket launcher totally destroys Claire's house but somehow she survives. K, that was lame.

Anywho, these military guys work for Widmore. Ben lets them kill his daughter instead of surrendering himself cuz, you know, she's not really his daughter anyway. But he does seem shocked that they did it ("they changed the rules") and he gets salty and unleashes the smoke monster on their asses.

Flash-forward: Ben wakes up in the middle of the Sahara Desert. Literally. Like on the ground, in a parka and everything. He's hella badass as he takes out 2 Natives and steals their horse. He sees Sayid on the news and goes to Iraq to see him.

Sayid has married Nadia (yay) but she was murdered (boo). Ben tells him who murdered her and Sayid kills him. And that's how Ben gets Sayid as his trained killer. Then Ben travels to London, sneaks into Widmore's penthouse and is all, I'm going to kill your daughter because you killed mine.

Good episode, mostly because Ben is so freaking cool.
