Blurb: Ben deals with the consequences of an uncovered lie.
Huh? Ben’s entire life is a lie! Which one’s been uncovered?

EW‘s theorization that “Lost” is an allegory for man’s search for spirituality (a theory about which I’m agnostic at best — it’s a TV show, Doc!)
EW Recap

Man, Michael Emerson can act. Ben goes from conniving high school teacher in the LA timeline to remorseful killer (although he only exhibited such for killing Jacob, not Locke or any of the others he’s had a hand in murdering) in the island timeline, and makes his character believable in both. The guy’s got chops.
I’m still trying to figure out Ilana‘s role in all of this. Jacob appeared at her hospital bedside and asked for her help, but why? What special gift does she have that Jacob knew he could use?
Widmore and the submarine was a bit of a surprise, although if you show me a picture of rolling ocean for more than 10 seconds like they did I’ve learned to expect a periscope.
Nine episodes left plus the finale. I don’t see how they’re going to tie all of this together.
