Who's In The Box

So... i must say that i was a little disappointed in the "Jeremy Bentham" reveal. It's interesting to think of Locke turning into Ben, globe-hopping around and sending mysterious letters and tryna fuck shit up BUT Locke is already such a huge character, with so much narrative importance. I was really hoping Jeremy Bentham would turn out to be some really minor character who would ultimately rise to become a central figure - like we're seeing with Christian Shepherd. It would have been fascinating to see Daniel Faraday or Bernard in the coffin - somebody who has had a pretty minor role up to now, and then imagine the narrative arc that is going to transform them into the next Ben/Widmore.

Also? I thought the opening of the episode was AMAZING - cutting from the recap flashback of Jack screaming "We have to go back!" to the exact same point in time, with Kate braking and getting out of her car to be all "what the frack." Really clever.
