Can you change the past, or are you resigned to what the universe decides?
This philosophical question, along with the debate over whether or not (and how) to save young Ben Linus, and the feelings harbored between Kate and Sawyer, were the central themes of Wednesday night's episode of Lost, "Whatever Happened, Happened."

On last night's Lost, Jack was unmoved by the irony of being asked to save Ben Linus' life a second time, sending Sawyer and Kate to the Others in search of help for the dying boy.
Meanwhile, in the present, Kate's relationship with Sawyer's baby-mama Clementine was explored, as was what happened to Aaron the night before Kate boarded Ajira flight 316.
Miles and Hurley also engaged in a hilarious debate over time travel, mirroring some of the discussions fans have been having all season. The highlight? Hurley stumping Miles with a quandary that not even a Lost character - let alone Lost spoilers - could explain.

We gotta tell you, we are impressed with child actor Sterling Beaumon. Not only did he do a terrific performance as a young Ben in last week's Lost, but after this interview you'll love him too.
Sterling not only answered all the questions with some juicy Lost spoilers and thought-provoking answers, he actually took the time to go through message boards and answer reader questions! Here's a small excerpt:
TVGuide.com: I read in a previous interview that when you first appeared on Lost (during Season 3), you were warned not to mimic Michael Emerson, because Ben wasn't that Ben yet. Is it safe to say he now is?
Beaumon: Not quite yet....
TVGuide.com: Something more would have to happen to put him on that path?
Beaumon: Yes. And that Ben.... Well, if you go back in the season to when they first met up with [Amy], they tell Daniel, "We can't interfere, because we can't change time," and Daniel says, "It doesn't matter now, because we're stuck here." So now they can change time. So that big older mean Ben that we know very well may not even exist.
TVGuide.com: OK. I was going to say, Who better to carry out the massacre in a few years than a presumed-dead, angry Ben, but....
Beaumon: Maybe the massacre is never going to happen now.
TVGuide.com: Before we go, you said you had a few things you wanted to clear up....
Beaumon: Yes, I was just reading the message boards — I know, I'm so bad — and there are some things I want to address. For example, Ben arrived on the island in 1974, when he was 12 years old. Now it's three years later, so he's like 14 or 15. When Sayid refers to "12-year-old Ben" [in the episode "He's Our You"], he just didn't know. They will later say how old I really am. Also, some people are thinking that Ben killed his dad in the van fire that he set; he didn't. Older Ben killed his dad in, like, 1995. Those are just a few things I'm seeing out there.
You can read the rest of the interview at TV Guide.
After playing Rita's crazy, drug-addicted ex on Dexter, Mark Pellegrino will be joining the cast of Lost on the season five finale later this year in a pivotal role. So just what can we expect from Pellegrino's character?
According to speculation by Ausiello Files, Pellegrino will be playing Jacob in an off-island, 1970s flashback involving some familiar faces. One of those familiar faces is *a****. Yeah, we love Ausiello's asterisks just as much as you.
We'd like to think it's safe to assume you've watched your TiVoed copy of this week's Lost by now and it's okay to say young Ben got shot. Now the question remains, what happens to present day Ben?
You can consult all of your Back to the Future knowledge of time travel.. or you can watch the latest Getting Lost with Matt Mitovich where he speaks with the actor behind young Ben, Sterling Beaumon and asks that exact question.
Watch below for some delicious Lost spoilers and some thought-provoking questions:
When you come here looking for Lost spoilers we know what you want. Sure we could give you answers to all the Island's unanswered question, but we'd far rather focus on the relationships.
Or maybe that's all Kristin Dos Santos' latest Lost coming soon gave us the ammo to do. Here's what we got:
Last night's Lost was another thrilling hour of flashbacks and flash-forwards, culminating in a shocking event - even by the standards of a show that makes its living around them.
If someone from the future goes back 30 years and shoots a young version of someone they know in the present time, doesn't that throw off the whole space-time continuum?
We have no idea, obviously, since when you're writing about time travel, all bets are pretty much off to begin with. But it may take an encyclopedia of Lost spoilers to explain.

On Lost tonight, the tables have turn for poor Sayid as he's about to be the torturee for once. In the following clip from tonight's episode, "He's Our You," Sawyer brings Sayid in to the new him... the torturer:
In the next two Lost clips, which are after the jump, Sawyer explains to Sayid why he's doing what he's doing and a young Ben goes to talk to Sayid.
With most of the recent Lost spoilers revolving around death, we're happy to report a much happier spoiler. During the Lost two hour season finale on May 13 there's going to be some wedding vows exchanged.
According to Ausiello Fils, an ABC insider told him that the Lost wedding is being filmed later today. So who's getting married? Ausiello only gave us two hints: the extras in the scene will all be of Asian-American descent and the wedding takes place on the mainland, not the island.
Now for two theories of who's getting married. The first would be it's a flashback to Sun and Jin's wedding. Now the much more fun one is that it's a flash forward to the wedding between Sun and Jin's daughter, Ji Yeon, and Claire's son, Aaron. This second, wild theory is actually support by previous Lost spoilers about a future Aaron and Ji Yeon from Dark UFO.
In typical Lost fashion, this week's episode, "Namaste" raised as many questions as it answered. Matt Mitovich did his best job to try and answer some of them in his weekly video column "Getting Lost."
In the following video, he speaks with the beautiful actress behind Juliet, Elizabeth Mitchell, about what will happen with Juliet now that Kate is back in Sawyer's life. Matt also explores with Sean of Lost Video Recaps about Sun's creepy tour guide, Christian Shepard.
