whathoWhile what I'm mostly feeling is DISMAY, I think, at the fact that Rousseau really seemingly is dead, and I can't in any sense understand why anyone thought that was a good idea, I'm also feeling a totally unexpected POWERFUL LOVE ... for Charles Widmore. Um. I know he's awful. But there are reasons. It's because:
- Finally, finally someone spoke to Ben in the way I wanted to hear Ben spoken to. He called him 'Boy' and asked him how dare he play the victim, and it was GREAT, and I loved it.
- He's a proper cackling hammily-acted supervillain who says 'The island's mine, all mine'. We needed one of them.
I still slightly hope he has a heart attack though, just like Jim Robinson did.
So basically I really liked that ending. Lots of the episode I didn't like. The fight scenes were just nonsense. I don't think you'd blow up an entire house if there was someone in the village you wanted to capture alive. And the Risk game. They do that joke every other episode, with golf and things instead of Risk. Also it reminded me of the days when Locke was a Risk-playing office drone and I liked him very much. But the smoke monster came back and did everything the smoke monster is best at, like taking photographs and smashing people's faces into trees. So that was good.
I don't know what any of it means, of course. Seemingly Ben and Widmore were to some extent in cahoots up until the point when that man shot Alex and Ben said 'He changed the rules'. Or at least they had a deal. Possibly Widmore provides the threat that Ben needs to be a big powerful man. And apparently Ben controls the smoke monster, which means I can blame him for killing the pilot and other things probably and one of the things I like to do most is blame Ben for stuff. Also I think the island's on the move.
(I wonder what's wrong with Jack. I don't really though.)
