Brief Lost Musings...

Don't really have too much time to write, but some things were burning my brain and I had to share.

Two theories on Ben's "man on the boat":
1. Michael (I read this one online, so I can't take credit.)
2. New girl Charlotte (Because I trust her least of all the four newbies.)

New thought that I had while I was falling asleep last night: what if Grizzly Jack was seeing Christian Shepard's "ghost," just like Hurley saw Charlie's last week? Charlie seemed to be the impetus for Hurley's desire to return to "it," so perhaps Christian becomes Jack's, and they are both sent as projections of the Island, because that's where their cold, dead bodies lay. (Assuming, of course that Charlie didn't float off somewhere.)

The footage of 815: cover-up (and if so why and by whom?) or wacky time-rift/time travel goodness? I'm hoping for the latter, but expecting the former. Easiest explanation is usually the right one, right?

By the by, awesome casting on all the 4 new arrivals (and on Matthew Abbaddon – but I already knew Lance Reddick was super cool). I don't really think there's a weak link on the show right now. Performances, writing, direction (and mis-direction) really firing on all cylinders. I really need my full 16 episodes, so this damn strike better end soon enough to give them to me.

Final thought: Joe & Jess asked me weeks ago who I would be if I could be any Lost character. I initially said Sayid because he is awesome. I change my vote now to Benjamin Linus because that dude always has the upper hand. Always.

Actual final thought: I like all the characters so far this year (yes, even Jack and Kate!) I think that is definitely progress.
