Lost: What's in That Temple?

I have to say I was fairly disappointed with the episode this week which was fairly low on revelations. Kate did Sawyer his whispered favored which, as expected, was going to visit his daughter. She also, as expected, left Aaron with his grandmother although I didn't quite expect the spontaneous, conveniently timed change of heart prompted by nothing more than Aaron getting lost in a supermarket. I was hoping for something a little more Lost-like like a visit from Claire or Charlie or any other of the free floating spirits. Oh well.

Also, as expected, Ben can't die because we all know he lives to torture our heroes another day but the motivation of Juliet, Kate and Sawyer to save the life of a child no matter what it takes is the possible cause of Ben becoming an other and living life on the dark side. So if I get this straight, although our heroes think they're making independent decisions in their present, all they are doing is playing out the past that has to happen so we can get the future we know, right guys?



[That had to be hands down my favorite part of the episode. Love that Hurley - he's always good for a scene steal.]

So if only Jack had said yes and saved Ben at the Dharma camp, he might not have become one of the others but Jack has to say no so that the future can play out as it needs to right? He says no of course because he says no and that's the way it's written in history and it can't be changed, right?

I am very excited to see just what's happening in that temple (which looks like will be part of next week's episode) - let's get back to a little Island magic action and leave the woes of the boring lovelorn behind (I'm so over the Kate and Sawyer thing already!)
