Something called “Vista 2010 Protection” has turned up unbidden on my computer, and is protecting it so well that I can’t even go online with it. While I’m trying to figure that out, I’m typing this review up on a friend’s computer, so I’ll keep this shorter than usual. Since R2 normally does a play-by-play, I’ll just jump right to the ‘observations’ for this episode.

OBSERVATIONS

Tonight, Ben gets the spotlight.  Last week, someone predicted that Mr. Linus (or in this case Dr. Linus) would end his path of redemption in martyrdom.  Did Ben go to his final resting place in ignominy, as did Nikky and Paulo before him?  Or was he redeemed in the end of tonight's episode?

Well, for that, you'll need to either have watched tonight.... or read the convenient spoiler-filled recap below the jump

Make that leap of faith...  

Sorry for the delay in getting this up. I was tired and had a backache last night, so I decided to turn in early. Since R2’s already given you a play-by-play, I’m just going to jump right in to the observations, which is the fun stuff anyway.

OBSERVATIONS

Since R2 and I are both covering this show, and since he tends to concentrate a bit more on the events, and I tend to concentrate a bit more on the implications, I’ve (Unilaterally) decided to stop doing full reviews - which are time-consuming and kind of a bit dull - and just go straight to the good stuff. I’m assuming I’ll hear no end of screaming about this at the next staff meeting, but for now…
