Right. That was an episode. I don't know, they went with the way more logical Sayid tries to kill kid Ben because of his poor treatment of Sayid in the future/past which leads to Ben... This has been a pretty good season for writing sentences like that. But, yup, aside from that I'm starting to wonder about the continued focus on the stuck in Dharma '78 plot line. It's an interesting idea. It's been working better then the time hops, but...where's it going? And, of course, now I'm wondering about what is going on in the present. But that happens every season. You know, so you'll keep watching on the weekly basis. And now: the episode itself.
Firstly, I would much rather be tortured by the Dharma Initiative then Sayid. I mean they just feed you LSD (or Sodium Pentathol...maybe) and ask you questions. While Sayid burns people with hot fat and cuts their fingers off. I'm just saying that if you build a guy up as a torturer and then he just doses you down and makes you listen to jazz...sounds like the best roommate you could get in college.
Shooting Kid Ben was the more logical outcome as I said last week. Part of me would like to see the other option, but it doesn't make any sense. Sort of like Sayid's total refusal of Sawyer's deal. He must really hate Ben. Probably because Ben, you know, put the hit out on Nadie last season. And the guy murdered Locke this season. Although, that did work in getting everyone back.
Kate - Is a dirty bitch. That's about it really. She had her chance with Sawyer, left the island, comes back to break up his shit. As time has progressed I find myself less and less enamored with Kate...obviously.
Radzinsky - Also a dirty bitch. I mean you wait three years to finally see the character and...he's kind of annyoing. I guess that explains why he spent so much time with his door map...you remember the all important door map? Yeah, everyone was all about the door map three seasons ago.
I don't know not a lot happened this episode outside of the Sayid back story, which was entertaining, and him sitting, being difficult, shooting a twelve year old. Hurley made a few jokes. Juliet looked pensivly at things. Jack...twiddled his thumbs. Jin got knocked the fuck out. And we see that Sawyer is willing to play every side to try and keep everyone alive.
And now the predictions and an actual spoiler for once.
Predictions - Pretty much the same. Castaways are going to be totally responsible for the purge. Christian Shepard IS THE SMOKE MONSTER. I'm pretty dead set on that one. Sayid, I guess, is going to end up with the hostiles, or die, in the next episode or two. Actually, he's probably going to die. I mean, he shot a kid...Ben. It kind of seems like Sayid's rocking the death wish. We'll see. I'm not going to go with either outcome with terribly strong convictions. That's about it. Caesar is on Widmore's payroll. The nameless castaways and Rose and Bernard are, probably all dead. Although it would be funny if Rose and Bernard were hostiles. Locke has got to find Alpert to find a way to ring them back...hopefully it does not involve the wheel, but it involves the wheel. Oh, and Juliet's probably going to die. Elizabet Mitchell is in the pilot for V. Which will probably get picked up. Hopefully the alien baby will be more convincing this time around.
And, the incomprable John on Buddy TV, has also done more excellent heavy lifting. Firstly, Sayid's last kill was at Oldham pharmaceuticals. I didn't realize this at first because I don't speak Russian. Simply enough. Also, there is the Ilana, Widmore, MacCuchent connection. And, yes she too is probably a plant like Caesar.
And now the actual spoiler. Stop reading if you don't want to have a psuedo spoil.
So, I read on, I forget the guy's name, it's close to Anselmo I think. Anyway, they're apparently shooting a wedding at the moment with a large number of Asian extras. There are two ways this could go. The silly, out-Losting Lost, aanswer is of course Aaron and Ji-Yeon's wedding. If this is to be believed then the show would take a time jump to the 2020's. If that is the case...I think I would actually be done with the show. That's almost too silly. No, it's too silly. So, it's probably Jin and Sun's wedding. Which means that everyone will, unsurprisingly, be reunited in the season finale. Or at least Jin and Sun. I mean, he's almost died in two different season finales...it's fitting that things turn around.
