So spooky. So Lost-y.

Brian thinks Jacob looks like Kris Kristofferson.

I know many won't agree with me, but I think this week's Lost was one of the best in a long, long time. Yeah, I know-- they've left a lot of really key mysteries-- the huge foot, Walt, the pilot-eating-creature, Adam and Eve, etc.-- behind, and that stinks. BUT they've come back to a really compelling way to tell the story. Or maybe they just saved all the action for the end of the season. In any case, I was watching this particular scene through my fingers, and I missed the actual Sighting of Jacob. Thought I'd save it here for anyone else who might've. I'll be honest, until Ben got flung into the window, I really thought that we were witnessing him having some kind of schizophrenic breakdown. I still think he was faking the "conversation," and that's why he was so pissed that Locke could actually hear the guy. By the way, did Jacob's little utterance remind anyone (Eric?) of the scene in Independence Day when the alien, speaking through the long-white-haired scientist, says "Release.... Me....."? Similarly spooky. Oh, how I love it.
