This episode messed with my head a lot, because I'm still trying to figure out whether Widmore or Ben is "the good guy" (although I think of it more as "the one whose side you want to be on if you don't want the space-time continuum to explode"). I want it to be Ben, because he's awesome. But this episode made me lean more toward the idea that neither Ben nor Widmore is "good" in any way and they're basically just fighting each other with no concern for potential collateral damage. .-.
I'm still firmly in the Team Ben camp. The emotion he expressed when he was driving Ben and Sun to Mrs. Hawking's seemed real. He was like, "You don't know what I've had to do to protect you." Maybe one of the things he was talking about was killing Locke.
Oh yeah, I was just thinking about that! Ben's a good actor, yes, but there did seem to be some real emotion there, and I don't know why he would have said that at the time if he hadn't believed it...
At this point I think I'm just scared to hope for anything specific on this show -- whenever I do, it turns out exactly the opposite. Maybe I should start hoping that Widmore turns out to be the good guy. :P
Poor Ben. He looked so sad when he was strangling Locke. :( I'm so confused about who's good and who's bad and weather anyone is really one or the other or if everyone is just shades of grey. Oh, Lost. But, yes. I would like to stay on Team Ben. ...that sounded kind dirty. Anyway, if only because he seems so... genuine about needing to do things for a reason. ya know?
Sorry to barge in, I kind of stumbled on your post. And the "Voldemort" thing is something I thought about last season. I think the reason they didn't say his name is simply because the Oceanic Six told the world that John Locke (and everyone else) died on the island. So they couldn't talk about how Locke came to see them. So they used the code name to protect their lie.
