I wonder why Ben stopped John killing himself, only to kill him after he mentioned Daniel Farraday's mother. What's the significance of that?
My friends seem to think that it was so that he could extract information from Locke before he died (like the fact that Jin is still alive?).
And I agree--if they kill off Penny or Desmond, the show is pretty much dead to me. I don't really think Ben killed Penny, although we're meant to believe he did--Desmond would no longer have any motivation at all if she were dead.
I'm totally intrigued by Walt's reappearance, if only briefly. Since it's three years ahead now, maybe they can bring him back on the show semi-permanently. He has this special connection to the island, so I feel like he's got to be involved somehow?
Last episode had a lot of stuff. Can't wait for tomorrow's!
