Lost: Ben and Widmore Play a Game of Risk

Lost returned last night after a five-week break at a new later time with an action-packed (maybe a little too much so) episode. In the words of my Lost-loving friend Karen, Ben and Widmore are playing a giant game of Risk, as they fight their own personal war around the world and throughout time.

Three episodes into Lost Season 4, and like Locke, I'm in so deep I'm beyond compromise. If last week's show saved the meaty stuff for the last ten minutes, tonight's goodies were more evenly spread throughout (though they saved a doozy for the very end, all right). I personally prefer stories based on the island, but the flash-forward and the surprising reveal that . . . well, let's get spoilery after the jump. Let's just say it all kept me on the edge of my seat — and no, I didn't see it coming. More »
