Lost!

Ben's face looks the same no matter what is happening, and even if it does register some supposed shock or happiness, he has flipped things on their head so many times that you can't measure anything by it.

IMHO it really hurts the show.

Goatee dude told Desmond to go find his mom in Oxford. Maybe that's his mom?

Which also makes me wonder who the crash survivor's Charlie really was (is) (and now I'm wondering about the chance meeting they had when Desmond was in London looking for Daniel).

I think Penny and Desmond named their Charlie after Charlie, who I believe was who he said he was.

I also don't think that the meeting between Desmond and Widmore in London was by chance... and I think we're going to see that Daniel's mother is the same woman who sold Desmond the engagement ring... and that she was in Oxford but is now in LA.

I was right, I was right! YAY! (It's so rare that I'm right when it comes to this show, it's a wee bit exciting )

Some random thoughts...

We know that Ben had contained Smoky in their camp.
What is this "temple" that Robert was referring to that smoky is the security system for? I wonder if Locke is "sick" as well, after his encounter with Smoky.

Didn't Ben tell Danielle to take Alex "to the temple" in the episode where the mercenaries killed them? WTF is in that temple?

Also, how did Charlotte know to "look for the well" if the Lotus station wasn't there? Someone in the comments section on E! online that when Locke fell, the well closed up and Christian Shepard appeared, it was like Locke descended into Hades.

Which as an aside, someone else thought Christian Shepard's name was a description of Jesus.

But it's also what makes him such a good villan. He freaks people out by having the uncomfortable lack of readable body language.

Kinda like a ZOMBIE!!

I agree. I think Ben is the perfect villain.
