Lost's next episode "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham" airs next wednesday. Here's the synopsis from GoErie.com's television listings:

Locke's mission off the island as Jeremy is revealed.

I think that the synopsis industry needs a shot in the arm these days. It's really gone down hill lately.

Here are some recaps of last week's episode from some other blogs:

Lost EP 5.6 "316" is there a pregnant lady on the plane?

Things I Noticed - "316" by Vozzek69

LOST: Season 5 Episode 6 - 316

Key Points from "316"

Lost Untangled would be much better if it didn't try so, so hard.

The only highlight in this episode: Jack is hit with the pendulum in the Lamp Post station. I was waiting during that entire sequence for the pendulum to wipe someone out.

We've got some deep literary allusions going on in this episode, and some pretty heavy Christian allegory.

But it all boils down to this: John Locke is the savior.

WARNING: Spoilers to follow. Also, it may sound a bit like a Sunday sermon and uses everything I learned in Sunday school.

Because I believe that this will be a big episode, I will limit my predictions to three simple points. (One poster outlined some larger predictions.)

• Eloise Hawking will tell us everything we need to know to move the story forward and give us some idea about how Dharma got there. She will also say something mind-numbingly mysterious about her connection with Chuck Widmore.
• The people still on the island will be reattached to time. This might stop their nosebleeds, but who really knows.
• Locke will open his eyes. He's alive and I'm so glad about it, I'm gonna clap my hands today.

Speaking of that, I'm wondering if we will have any pop culture "316" references.

Some John, maybe?

How about Stone Cold?

We here at Get Lost are hoping for a big episode Wednesday.

I mean, really big. Actual-explanation big. Realizing-what's-going-on big.

Well, it's hard to tell so far. Here's a synopsis of Wednesday's episode from GoErie.com's new television listings.

The members of Oceanic 6 discover how to get back to the island, but not all of them want to return.

Not the most gripping teaser, sure, but they use the words "discover how" which is more than we usually get.

I'll post my predictions tomorrow, until then, what do you expect from "316"?

Last week's gut reaction was waylaid for a number of reasons, so here is my very delayed, point-by-point reaction to last week's episode.

There won't be a live blog tonight because of a small scheduling conflict that will keep me occupied during commercial breaks and away from approving comments. Sorry about that, but sometimes I have to divide my loyalties.

Here are my predictions for tonight's episode:

• Locke leaves the island by turning the wheel behind the Orchid station's time traveling bay.
  
• Sun, no matter how much she seems like it, will not shoot Ben. She'll try, though, and miss. She will hit another member of the Oceanic Six. My money's on Jack, but he will live (together), not die (alone).
  
• Charlotte will die, and we will discover how she spent so much time on the island without remembering it.
  
• Jin will be reunited with Sawyer and company, as Rousseau's people slowly lose their minds.

What are you predictions for tonight's episode? Post a comment and let me know.

I'll have a Gut Reaction post tonight or early tomorrow.

Nothing like a little bit of optimism from the writers of Lost.

I can't think of a show I would like to watch more than one titled "This Place is Death."

Here's ABC.com's synopsis of what's going to happen on Wednesday's episode.

Locke takes on the burden to stop the island's increasingly violent shifts through time. Meanwhile, Ben hits a roadblock in his attempt to reunite the Oceanic 6.

By "Locke takes on the burden" we can assume that means "someone else is going to die." Also, there's a good chance that he's going to spin the great wheel of time.

Also, I don't know if you saw that "Lost Untangled" action-figure show last week, but it's entertaining enough to post here. (Even though they've been doing this for a long time in other places.)

Here's a sampling from what other people have to say about "The Little Prince," including some insane screen grabs and detailed descriptions that I -- for reasons of time and sanity -- can't provide.

Found this a few minutes ago.

"The Little Prince" was a book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

Here's the first part of the synopsis, from SparkNotes.

The narrator, an airplane pilot, crashes in the Sahara desert. The crash badly damages his airplane and leaves the narrator with very little food or water. As he is worrying over his predicament, he is approached by the little prince, a very serious little blond boy who asks the narrator to draw him a sheep. The narrator obliges, and the two become friends. The pilot learns that the little prince comes from a small planet that the little prince calls Asteroid 325 but that people on Earth call Asteroid B-612. The little prince took great care of this planet, preventing any bad seeds from growing and making sure it was never overrun by baobab trees. One day, a mysterious rose sprouted on the planet and the little prince fell in love with it. But when he caught the rose in a lie one day, he decided that he could not trust her anymore. He grew lonely and decided to leave. Despite a last-minute reconciliation with the rose, the prince set out to explore other planets and cure his loneliness.

Be sure to read the rest.
