Lost: Boom

"Who's in the coffin?" is the new "What's in the box?" Tonight we start with the answer. It's Jeremy Bentham. Well who the eff is that??

The Sayid/Big Cool Bad Dude fight was one mother of a fight. That thing was awesome. Because Kate and Sayid helped to free Ben, they are allowed to leave the Island on the helicopter. Jack, Hurley, and Sawyer also board the copter. But we know Sawyer isn't one of the survivors. So he ends up jumping off the copter (it's losing fuel and they need to lose weight) after kissing Kate and asking her to do something we can't hear.

The C4 that's on the freighter? Is wired to the Big Cool Bad Dude's heart monitor - he dies, it blows. Ben knows this but stabs him to death anyway. As Ben says, "So?" LOL Ben. Unfortunately, Jin and Michael are on the boat when it blows. It's quite horrible - Sun on the helicopter screaming for Jin. Everybody else got back on the helicopter after it was repaired. So there's your Oceanic Six.

Locke and Ben head into the newest of the million Dharma stations. Which is complete with a creepy Dharma video that cuts off mid-sentence, in true creepy-Dharma-video fashion. The station was used for time and space experiments - time-traveling bunnies to be more specific. Ben gets in his parka (the one he was wearing when he woke up in the middle of the desert some weeks back) and sends Locke back above ground to lead Ben's people. Ben crawls around in the time-travely shafty thing and "moves the island." There is a bright light and a splash in the water as the Island disappears from the view of everyone on the copter. The copter runs out of fuel and goes down.

The Future Bits: I'd like to say welcome back, Walt. He really grew the hell up. He looks totally different. Nice that they could find him a role in the Future Lost Universe. He visits Hurley and tells him that this Jeremy Bentham came to see him, and he wonders why everyone is lying. Sayid visits Hurley to tell him Jeremy Bentham died. Sun goes to see Widmore to make some kind of deal with him.

Jeremy Bentham is.... John Locke. Jack went to see the casket and Ben was there. Ben said he knows Jack wants to go back to the Island, but that they all have to go back together, including Locke's dead body. Next season's plot: we're getting the band back together!!

Our Final Tally:
Jin: Blowed up.
Michael: Blowed up.
Island: Disappeared.
Oceanic 6: Rescued by Penny's boat. Staged their rescue on another island.
Desmond and Penny: Reunited. Desmond and Penny FOREVER! Yay!!!!!
Jack: Solidified his spot at the top of my list of TV Characters I Wish Would Commit Bloody Suicide. Population: 1.

Bonus: We had a commercial for Octagon Global Recruiting - a new Lost tie-in. They are recruiting in San Diego July 24-27. Oh, I see, those are the dates and location of Comic-Con. See you there suckas!!!
