Lost was actually really good tonight! I love the chemistry between Locke & Ben.

Some great parts that stood out to me:

• Ben & Alex & the Smoke Monster – very cool! I couldn’t have predicted the smoke monster being a memory movie screen thing in the cave/temple.
• Caesar shot. Great.
• Backstory of how Ben got Alex from Danielle. Filling in some history blanks.
• We found out why Ben was beat up before he got on the plane! Go Des & Penny! Kick some Ben butt.
• We found out why Widmore was off the Island – he was banned for “breaking the rules”
• The Smoke Monster forgives Ben – is there hope for him after all?
• Did you like how this episode put Ben in the “good guy” light? Back and forth between Widmore & Ben, good & bad. sigh.
• And what’s with the shadow of the statue?!

Overall, great episode. I’ve been disappointed with the last few, as some of you know and others of you have seen with my refusal to spend time recapping them. Plus I hate the Kate-Jack-Juliet-Sawyer love square. Bleh. I actually just hate Jack & Kate.

Anywho, my apologies for the large lack of posts. I’ll try to get back into this season. Season 5 just hasn’t been doing it for me :(

This week, Knick’s commentator, Al Trautwig, discusses LaFleur. He seems to be a follower of the Time Loop Theory. This video is a bit creepy, Al.

Al’s more in-depth talk on “LaFleur”:

You might know television personality Al Trautwig from the Knicks game,but he’s also an avid fan of “Lost.” MSG.com caught up with Al on the road to get his thoughts on “LaFleur,” episode seven from Season Five.

Al recaps the latest episode by talking about the meaning of the title, “LaFleur”, time travel, and the state of the characters.
