I too thought this episode had some incredible twists!Quote:

Though he can be ruthless in his interrogation techniques and his killing, I always though the Sayid character had some ethical standards. It is difficult for me to understand why he would ever consent to take people out for Ben. Sayid is not motivated by money, power, or fame.
At least Desmond is also going back to the freighter with Sayid in the helicopter. Desmond is also a scrappy survivor though he does not have the military skills of Sayid.
Kickass episode. All the ones centered around Sayid are great.
Whatever Sayid is doing for Ben is a long while after they get off the island based on Sayid's gray hair. I like how he smoked that dude on the golf course. I cant believe he let that chick get the jump on him. I think her "employer" might be the original Dharma company that has been sending the supplies this whole time.
The seeking missile deal that ran 30 minutes late pretty much confirms there will be a time discrepancy when they get off the island.
Does Ben travel around the world trying to alter lives? Damn that MFer can mess with people's heads.
Sawyer has become Jack's enemy now that he has decided to stay. The Lord of the Flies theory is starting to look like a likely scenario.
Next week's Eggtown is supposed to be Kate, Kate, and more Kate. Supposedly will close the gap between the island and the flashforward with Jack at the airport. We'll find out why she's done running from the law, and who's waiting for her at home. I would imagine the freighter doesn't come into play until week after that, with maybe the choppper landing on the freighter (if there even is one, and if they even get there..) at the END of the episode. I just can't see something that huge NOT taking place as a teaser to end a show.Quote:

I'm actually not so sure about my Lord.. prediction anymore. Locke is holding up his end, but the distance he has put between himself and Jack's locale, and the fact that he doeens't yet seem bound to keep Jack from leaving has me re-thinking things. Sawyer's already shown that some would rather live on the island than go home to a crappy life. I am leaning more towards a whole bunch of people just remaining on the island without much bloodshed. I would bet maybe even just a single death may occur. I can see Hurely now feeling remorse for something and he and Kate busting ass out of Locke's camp. If Hurley cannot manage to sneak Kate out quietly and peacefully..then I call.. Sawyer sacrificing himself to get Kate away from Locke (carrying Sawyer's baby inside of her). Now that's some great television drama.Quote:

they better not do a sopranos type endingQuote:

The end of the episode with Sayid doing Ben's dirty work has me thinking that Ben has always pulled the strings in regards to the Island, but also that he is the protector of the Island and knows that it's secrets are too powerful to fall into the wrong hands.Quote:

If you followed the lost experience internet game after season 1(which I don't think anyone did), it was revealed that Dharma was on the island working to solve the valenzeti equation which was supposed to predict the end of man. They were trying to shift the variables, which were hurley's numbers, to see if it changed the outcome.
Seems kind of unethical to interfear with fate to me.
Maybe it is Ben that is making sure fate is not interfered with? Since the French chick gave him to the Losties and they kept him in the bunker I have liked his character. He plays his role real good. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up saving the damn world.Quote:

BTW, there is no way Sayid is one of the Oceanic 6. Those people are famous after they get off the island and he's trying to work as a hit man and fame is the last thing they need. I'm thinking whatever big rescue comes for the other 6, Sayid has already seen the last of the island...
He is.Quote:

Sounds like Sayid was pretty inconspicuous to that point, that's all that would matter for a person to be killing people in secret. It is completely possible that a 'famous' person could be getting away with murder if there are no witnesses.Quote:

Zig Sayid is one of the six,Quote:

Im still going with the theory that Locke never destroyed the submarine, thats how ben was getting off before.
I'm not saying Sayid didn't get off the island. I'm just saying he didn't do it famously when the Oceanic 6 were grandly rescued. I'm saying he was secreted off the island quietly and it's possible he wasn't the only one to get off and not be officially "rescued." If Kate had supposedly "died" in the plane crash and she somehow quietly got off the island too, it would explain why she wasn't running from the law.
IDK zig
he told the guy he shot that he was one of th 6 and thats why the guy knew him
he also told the girl that she recognized him because he was one of the 6
of course, that could end up being some weird crock of BS in the end, so who knows
See, that's what I get for answering the phone. Five minutes and a whole theory shot to hell!
