Good thoughts, fres. The Lost "elephant in the room" for me right now is how do Eloise and Charles fit into this whole equation. Seasons 3 and 4 to me very much set up Charles to be the "big bad" (to use Buffy terminology), but with the events of season 5, I hardly know why I should care about him and I know even less what his designs are for the island. The whole "Widmore is coming with his freighter" thing is totally out the window. Instead, our attention is re-focused on Nameless as our likely primary antagonist, even though we know even less about what he wants than we do/did about what Charles wanted.
Also, as Ben is my favorite character, it was pretty awful to see him get played the fool. Hook, line and sinker, though I can't really blame him for falling for it.
