Locke is the new Ben

This episode had enough Sawyer in it for me to be relatively entertained the whole time. Also, I really like the idea of all of these people living together in that weird little community. I am still totally serious in thinking that they should all just stay there. The part with Kate and Sawyer sitting on the front porch chatting made me wish I was watching something more like a Southern soap opera...not like Dallas, though...more like Desperate Housewives crossed with The Sound and the Fury. Actually, I guess with that whole argument between Kate and Sawyer at the end, that's pretty much exactly what this was. I love it. I wish I knew what the other living situations were like. Are Karl and Alex playing house? Do they live with Rousseau? Do they get together on Tuesday's to play bridge with Rose and Bernard?

Hmmm, so now my only question is how long had they been off the island during this flashforward? Aaron seemed like four or five years old.

Oh, and also, what book did Locke bring Ben? What book was Sawyer reading? When is Locke going to realize he's turned into Ben? And why doesn't Ben say something to the effect of "Hey Locke, you've turned into me. And look what happened to me. Might want to make some different choices there, man."?
