"Lost": My First Theory of the Season

I’m a little surprised that I was able to wait until Saturday to watch “Lost” and no one spoiled it for me—especially since there were such juicy revelations…

Warning: If you have not seen the February 11th episode of “Lost,” stop reading now…

So let’s recap what we’ve learned…

The smoke monster is the guardian of a temple on the island. It changed Danielle’s boyfriend somehow, making him want to kill her. However, she shot him instead…

Charlotte grew up on the island, but then left with her mother. She returned to look for her father. She believes that Daniel was the scary man who told her that if she returned to the island she would die…

Locke was supposed to turn the wheel to move the island instead of Ben…

And the big one. The mysterious Mrs. Hawking, who is going to help the Oceanic Six get back to the island, is Daniel’s mother.

Obviously, Daniel has A LOT to do with this whole thing…

Last week’s episode has spurred me to come up with my own theory about something. Stop reading now if you don’t want to see it…

What if Ben killed Locke? Maybe he was jealous of all the attention Locke was receiving from Jacob and Christian and he decided to take matters into his own hands and turn the wheel himself. But when Locke exposed the mistake, Ben killed him. Now, he realizes that was a mistake and he wants to go back and fix it.

Like I said, it’s just a theory…

So what did you think of the episode? Any theories of your own?...
