This Wednesday’s episode is titled “Dead is Dead.”

Here’s the preview from GoErie.com’s television listings:

Ben must try to call the smoke monster to atone for sins of the past.

That’s a fairly loaded sentence, and I’m geeking out over what might happen on the episode. We may finally have an answer to one of the longest-running questions about the show: What is that smoke monster?

It’s interesting that Ben says it will “judge” him. Could the same be said for the other people the smoke monster killed? The French team? Echo? Were they judged?

It’s also an interesting title, especially considering Easter is coming up Sunday and John Locke was resurrected on the show.

Just watch this:

NOTE: This week’s “Gut Reaction” won’t be online until Thursday morning.
