Okay, so "Where's your lawyer?" should prolly not be answered with "You look pretty" Ah, Jack. *sigh* Cripes, a village full of shrinks with undercover experience. Dude - totally! What the hell is Ben!not!Henry's real deal, is what I want to know.

Okay - who is Ben? What is the Ben significance? I'm lost. At the beginning of the show, Juliet had an argument with someone at a book club meeting about how she didn't give a flying rip that Ben hated the book she'd chosen. Okay - I just thought I missed something last year. Plus the whole Ben/Glory thing is just messing with my mind. Thanks for the answer and Sam is back so I have to scoot.

Since no one's pointed it out yet that I can recall, I'll throw this out there: this season began in almost the exact same way last season did, with an as-yet unknown person putting on an album and listening to music. Oui! I was thinking that. But the album was much much smaller in diameter. Then my thoughts got jumbled by the burnt muffins.

Ben is apparently the other person that lives in the house with Juliet, because the obnoxious book guy accused Ben of picking the Stephen King book. So.... Juliet's partner/housemate/spouse/whatever. Maybe. I thought Ethan was Juliet's partner - I mean, I thought he was the one under the house, anyhow. I thought Henry was Ben, because they were talking about Ben like he was in charge, and Henry is in charge. He seemed to live in a different house from Juliet.

And a 60's album again, to boot. Ah, the 60's. I remember them. Does that mean I wasn't really there?

Ah, Jack, back to your stalking..... Oh, my. Well, yes, it's a valid point, she'd call his daddy to say "he's going nutso on me, help" There went the most intimate and kind Shepard Sr. has been since his confession to Sawyer just afore he died. AAAAAH!!!! Loudspeaker spoke with Dead Daddy's voice!!!!!!! Ohhh, I missed that! So, they're doing the "is Jack hallucinating or is it really real" thing, eh? I can't decide, but I lean toward ploy.

Okay that was a very disturbing scene. Yikes - what does Henry have in store for Kate? Um . . . is he still Henry? I'm kind of behind on Lost things. Yeah, he's still calling himself Henry, although some refer to him as FauxHenry or Fenry. I like that. ;D And it's a bit faster to type than Ben!not!Henry.

I find I kinda do trust her, actually. Mostly because she seemed pretty pissed about doing Ben's dirty work. But she's willing to do his dirty work. So - in my book, untrustworthy. But we don't know why she's doing it. Is it because she believes Ben's right, that she supports whatever his goal is? Because she sees it as the best way to keep Jack (or herself. Or both of them) alive, or as a way to prevent Henry/Ben from torturing Jack? At this point, who the hell knows? All I do know is that I don't trust Benry any further than I could throw a Buick, and if she has issues with him then that earns her points with me.

Shades of Alice in Wonderland. okay, the Other who picked her wardrobe has been in my brain. Shackles and a French Press. Accoutrements of any fine breakfast table. Kate? When you are reduced to the Jerry Springer "you don't know me" answer? You're a step behind. "Something nice to hold on to" "the next two weeks are going to be very unpleasant" don't let the evil shrinks break your brain... What the hell IS Henry's real name, anyways? Oh, maybe Henry is Ben. He did say 'I guess I'm out of the book club.' I liked that moment. Very sly. #smirk#

Down, your honor. Sawyer is spoken for. ;D The poor bubby. He really really needs a shower now. A long hot shower. With me, because he's injured and will need assistance. Back to Jack. I think that Juliette looks like his wife. And I think that alikeness is no coincidence. I also think that Sawyer needs a good long soak. Perhaps with Sayid helping him. Because, you know, he may be injured or weak and someone should be supporting him so he doesn't drown. **nods solemnly**

Ah! that makes more sense, sort of, but I was distracted by the guy bitching about "host's choice" and saying it was Ben's choice. Or something. Damfino. *rewinds tape*

Back to the eyeball openers - yay! And Petula - double yay!! Oooh, they have all the comforts of modern life in their little Other Island village - Stephen King book club reading and all. Plus, some of them (like Blonde woman) don't like not!Henry. So, Jack and Sawyer are put in animal experiment labs or zoo cages. Each are given someone to "interact" with (someone apparently sympathetic, up to a point). And Kate is symbolically stripped, dressed up all "pretty" "like a lady" "civilised", so they can play a different kind of mind game with her. I don't like these new "civilised" Others any more than I did the old pretend-scruffy ones. I don't care how they humanize them or give us their side of the story. Any group, or leader of a group, that responded that way to a plane crash? Are not good. So there! ;D Right there with you. ;D And I was wondering why they chose those three people to have first contact with our Losties. Jack--with woman/blondie woman/wife issues meets "nice" and "comforting blonde woman; Kate--with daddy issues meets older, "fatherly"-like pirate-wannabe man; and Sawyer, with his issues of his childhood, meets young-looking boy. Hmmm. Of course, I'm probably full of it. Oh, I think you are spot on! It's mind games galore with these Others! They gottta fina a way to not let their buttons be pushed. Um. Which is kinda ironic, isn't it?

This part about telling Jack that he might start hallucinating . . . I mean, how much worse could that be? I'd be praying for hallucinations. OK. More weather warnings going across the screen . . . gusts up to 60mph . . . yikes. I think it's passed over my area already though. Eep! Hope you've stayed safe, Spring! Nice avatar and quotage - and rather apt for this Lost ep, too.
