dead is dead

this was an interesting episode when suddenly on the island everyone who you thought was dead is not. the episode was mainly about ben and revealed a lot of things that we didnt know about him before like how he was brought up on the island, how he got alex, and his hatred for charles widmore. this episode was only about the plane victims, adding new characteristics and more drama to the show. i wish they would have devoted some of the episode the the main characters that are in the 70s at the dharma initiative. it is getting hard to keep up with both story lines. also ben was judged in this episode by the smoke monster. although i thought the island should have killed him off for all the bad things he has done, i knew that he couldnt possibly die at this part of the show so i was not the least bit worried. it was weird seeing alex alive again although i do not think that she was, i think it was just a ghost like figure reminding him of his past. i hope that he does not kill john locke again and does what alex tells him and listens to locke even though i know he is going to have to bite his tongue over it.
