LaFleur 5X8

Craziness – crazy that we are already at the mid-point of Season 5! And even more crazy that I think the questions in my head far outnumber the answers we have left to (hopefully) get over the last season and a half of our favorite show. Enjoy this week’s episode, because I believe we are due for a one week hiatus after “LaFleur” – which in case you were wondering, is French for “Flower”.

ABC’s Official Show Description

Spoiler Alert

“Sawyer perpetuates a lie with some of the other island survivors in order to protect themselves from mistakes of the past.”

The episode preview would suggest that we are going to get the reunion of the Oceanic 6 (or 3) with those originally left behind. So, a few questions to ponder heading into tonight’s episode (and to stimulate some pre-show commentary):

• What is the current time period the Island is now in?
• Why did Ben really kill Locke, given Locke was a nanosecond from committing suicide? Lots of theories out there…
• Presented yet again with the never-ending love triangle that is Jack, Kate, Sawyer; who will Kate ultimately choose?
