Lost Season Finale Recap

Carson has a great recap of parts 2 and 3 of the season finale. This part made me chuckle:
" Speak of the devil: Out in the jungle, Ben is in plastic cuffs, being led through the woods by Keamy and the commandos. “So tell me something, Ben,” Keamy says in that angry way of his where his lips move but his teeth stay clenched. “What is it that makes you so important?” Keamy should really know better than to play head games with Benjamin Linus, who killed his crush’s boyfriend and can summon the smoke monster at will, but whatever. Ben stays quiet as they keep walking. Keamy wants to know why Ben is so valuable alive to Charles Widmore, and Ben asks if Widmore’s deal included killing Alex. Ben gives Keamy a stare that doesn’t bode well for the soldier’s future, but before Keamy can respond, they squad arrives at the chopper to see Frank fiddling his cuffs and trying to free himself with needle-nose pliers. Keamy charges up to Frank and wants to know how he got the toolbox, even going so far as to yell “HEY!” right in Frank’s face, as if this will help. "
Just finished Carson's review. It's awesome. It's more of a recap, which I think is a new kind of television writing in the age of the Internet, but it's interspersed with interesting observations and funny comments. Carson notes a lot of things that you may have felt but didn't quite see clearly, and he correctly sees the characters tenderness in situations that, like I said, I noticed but also didn't notice very well if that makes any sense. I like this guy, Carson.

Update: Interesting description of what Sawyer whispered. Not a surprise to me, but interesting nonetheless.
"Frank says he might soon be forced to turn around and ditch the chopper on the beach, even though there’s no fuel there. Sawyer checks the water and turns to Kate. He pulls her in close and whispers in her ear; after repeated viewings at volume levels my neighbors likely didn’t appreciate, I’m pretty sure he said, “I have a daughter. … I want you to find her. … I’m sorry.”
