OK, lets get back to the Locke/Ben storyline. I suppose we’ll find out who has been kept in “the Brig”. The man from Tallahassee? Or maybe Locke? And it’s definitely time for Juliet and Ben to reconnect, since it has been “a week” since they said they’d see each other in “a week”. Perhaps her work will be done once she gets a sample from Austin. (It’s interesting how The Others always refer to the Lostaways by their last names.)

From the preview on Lostpedia for this episode:

**The Brig** A newly focused Locke breaks away from “The Others” in an attempt to persuade Sawyer to help rid them of a great nemesis that has caused nothing but pain in both of their lives. The survivors also learn some shocking information about Oceanic Flight 815.

**Here are some interesting external links:**

[The Lost Report](http://hometown.aol.com/qcotms/myhomepage/index.html): A very well written summary of the most current episode often containing interesting insights. I don’t think you’ll find spoilers.

[The Tail Section](http://www.thetailsection.com/): Excellent site for still frame photos of key scenes, along with some good analysis. But… beware of spoilers!

[Sledgeweb’s Lost… Stuff](http://lost.cubit.net/): Pretty good site, but again beware of spoilers. I use it mainly for the Timeline section, which is an incredibly detailed breakdown of “how long since…?” for almost anything you can think of (pre- and post-plane crash).

[Door Map from Episode 2.17](http://www.thetailsection.com/uploaded_images/cleanwall-707484.jpg). A nicely cleaned up version of the diagram Locke saw while pinned under the lockdown doors. No spoilers.

[Lostpedia](http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Main_Page): The wikipedia of Lost information. Quite a comprehensive site, but beware of spoilers!

[ThEmIsFiTiShErE](http://themisfitishere.blogspot.com/): The Misfit offers his whacky commentary on “Lost”. Is he a nut-case or a clever insider? Careful, though, possible spoilers.

Well, that spoiler sure seems to indicate that
