1:00 - omg sayid met ben in prison. cb totally just nutted this was a sayid ep based on the previously on... well done baby!
2:00 - cb asks if this is a flashback. she is right we havent had one in a long long time.
CB Note: It's def the first flashback we've seen in a longgggg time.
3:00 - awwwww. that lil chicken was so cute!!!! i want one!
RK Note: Sayid... born to be a killer, killing just comes naturally to him. Interesting. Perhaps reinforced for him by the praise he received for it as a child. Oh it all comes back to childhood...
4:00 - i dont like these prune hamantashens...
RK Note: Barf prune hamentashens ew. One time, I got a danish, and I thought it was a blueberry danish, but really it was a PRUNE danish, it was so disgusting.
5:00 - OMFG. ben asked sayid if richard sent him!?! what does ben know?! 4 years ago he ran away and met richard? - cb totally points out that this means he's been there the entire time our Losties have been... do they expect me to believe that Sawyer and Juliet didn't interact or do anything with him??
RK Note: Problems with this. Back seasons ago, we saw when Ben arrived on the island with his father off the submarine and his father was given his assignment as a janitor, and Ben looked VERY much the same age as he does in these current episodes even though allegedly at LEAST four years has passed, and probably more since running off to the Others probably wasn't Ben's first move immediately upon moving to the island. Although, I guess there has been a couple of years between filming the episodes so the actual actor kid must have aged a little too, but he sure looks the same to me! And clearly he has not aged FOUR+ years. And really, Sawyer and Juliet couldn't have paid him a little attention these past four years and been nice to him to perhaps try to make him NOT EVIL in the future? Teaching him like, genocide and the brutal murder of innocent people is bad? I mean he clearly is lacking some sort of mother figure, step in, Juliet!
CB Note: They probably backed into this somehow with the timeline. The kid definitely looks older, perhaps not 4 years older, but I dont think there's anything to read into it. He was supposed to be 8 when he got to DHARMA, now he's 12. The 4 years would however explain Richard's hippie hair when meeting Ben, if that happened before our Losties saw him in 1974 with short hair. Also, they were probably going with the Farraday thinking that you can't change the future, so they should just pretend to not know who Ben is and not get involved.
6:00 - totally nutted that sayid the assassin for ben was gonna cap that russian.
7:00 - cb called it a "JN nut". what's that mean?
8:00 - we chuckled at a guy who looks like horace trying to intimidate sayid...
CB Note: A guy who looks like Horace? You mean...Horace?
9:00 - what's sayid thinking? it looked like everyones having a good time at the party in dharmaville!
RK Note: I know right?! Sawyer had an awesome plan of having Sayid defect and come live with the Dharmies! Who wouldn't take up an offer like that, fun in the sun! AND even if Sayid was intent on getting vengeance and killing child Ben, he STILL could have managed that probably more easily if he had just infiltrated Dharma and lived amongst them quietly. Sayid's just being unnecessarily stubborn!
10:00 - lol at hurley on juliet and sawyer. i enjoyed it.
RK Note: I just want to know-- what kind of dipping sauces "really bring out the ham"?
CB Note: Skate 4ever!
11:00 - is that janitor ben's dad? i think it is. and i got it before cb.
RK Note: Much like Sayid's childhood shaping his adult tendencies, looks like Ben's daddy-o really fucked him up too
CB Note: Baby, you said, is that Ben's dad? And I said "yes" - I don't think that counts as you getting something that i didnt =p
12:00 - i think little ben is a good actor.
RK Note: Little Ben is so cute!! Cuter than harry potter even!
CB Note: I wouldn't go that far...
13:00 - this scene of ben talking to sayid in latin america at habitat for humanity gives us some idea that ben had john on ice for quite awhile. when did sayid save hurley at the mental institution? the start of this season?
Rk Note: He totally had Locke on ice FOREVS.
CB Note: How long does a body stay if frozen?? FYI, googling that question did not help...
14:00 - any guesses on who crazy guy is? i have none...
15:00 - verdict says some random guy lol.
RK Note: I was ALSO hoping it would be someone who we had met before and would be a big nut! Not so much. Also, his idea of torture is giving the guy like acid or truth serum or something? He's really no Sayid when it comes to torture.
16:00 - "he's our you" - good one!
RK Note: Also the title of this episode-- thanks Tivo for telling me that!
33:00 - ooh, we are gonna get to see what happened to sayid and how he ended up arrested by those peeps.
RK Note: AND we're going to get my whole theory about how Ben called the cops and then intentionally ran into Sayid and got into a big fistfight and Sayid beating the crap out of Ben and Sayid getting arrested and extradited completely SHOT DOWN. Raisin. Still don't know how Ben got beat up, I hope he didn't kill Penny!
CB Note: Per J's new rules:
34:00 - we thought this was the cop on the plane with sayid. but she's not acting very cop-like... i dun get it.
CB Note: Is "we thought" code for: Caryn said, "hey that's the cop girl"
35:00 - so it was just truth serum? wtf is sawyer gonna do...
36:00 - hilarious. they're just gonna think he's totally crazy. and not ask the right questions. "Ask sawyer!!"
Rk Note: "Maybe I should have used half a dropper..." Hilarious. Sayid naming all the dharma stations that aren't even built yet, and when asked how he knows saying, "I'm from the future!", hilarious, such great dialogue here!!
37:00 - lol now he's telling them they're gonna die. this scene is very well written.
38:00 - cb thinks juliet made kate a mechanic to keep an eye on her... catfight MEOW!
RK Note: Juliet wants Kate to STAY AWAY. I hope she does too. Stupid Kate.
39:00 - why is rusedski gonna call Ann Arbor for a decision? is he going to the Michigan - Notre Dame game?
RK Note: Who is behind Dharma! Mysterious!
40:00 - god dammit dessler! jack bauer woulda found a way!!!
RK Note: HONESTLY Michelle, you were way better with Tony than with Horace.
41:00 - cb is moing at sawyer for making the vote unanimous. but i understand, he's gotta protect his life with juliet! id do anything to protect juliet...
RK Note: His vote didn't really make a difference, and he gave Sayid like 55783760343 chances to either join Dharma OR escape, and Sayid is just not interested!
42:00 - oh, so they weren't cops. their bounty hunters, like bobba fett!
RK Note: I LOVE Boba Fett!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This woman was like Booby Fett.
43:00 - "even a new mom wants you dead." lol. why exactly is sayid there?!? i hope he thinks its to atone for his sins and crimes. b/c it sure isnt to kill ben linus - faraday would tell you that sure aint happening...
RK Note: RAISIN?
CB Note: That's why he THINKS he's there - to kill Ben.
44:00 - any guesses on who sent the flaming bus? we gotta assume it was ben right?
CB Note: That was my nut! How come you dont mention that! =p
45:00 - lol at "3 years and no burning busses..."
Rk Note: "And you guys are back for ONE day..." Great dialogue this ep
46:00 - lafleur just called all security to the building. the guy watching the screen goes. cb: "i bet ben did it". been there, predicted that... see 44:00.
RK Note: Nice nutteroo!
CB Note: You know baby, I'm really tempted to stop reading your blog
47:00 - also, we still dont know who beat ben... did we think it was connected to desmond or penny?
CB Note: If you can't remember, you're denutted of any nuts you might have.
48:00 - this bounty hunter woman is stupid. she should listen to sayid and get off that plane!!
RK Note: Do we think Ben had something to do with the bounty hunter in the first place? Or was the Island/fates aligning to make this all happen so Sayid would wind up on that plane?
CB Note: Well, on one hand...Sayid was in LA because of Ben (who told him about people harrassing Hurley) and had just left Ben (when they were all talking in that parking lot.) And since Ben was the one who told him to kill the guy who the bounty hunter was working for, he could have tipped her off. On the other hand, the look Ben gave Sayid when he got on the plain was one of slight surprise. Michael Emerson is such a great actor.
49:00 - how on earth did that van not like directly see them? who is it? i bet its somebody we know. nutted. jinzor.
Rk Note: Can't believe Sayid knocked Jin out!! Not nice!!
59:00 - ummm. shock on our couch. its impossible. he cant be dead. unless the others are gonna somehow revive him... regardless of how they explain, awesome that sayid manned up and did what he had to do to save the future, even if it wont really do it.
RK Note: OK SO-- if we believe Faraday's theories that the past cannot be changed and the past has already happened and shaped the future, then this was MEANT to happen and happened in the past, which means Ben survives being shot in the chest (Perhaps Dr Shepard can help operate on him to save him? OH THE IRONY) and then has major trust issues over this guy he trusted shooting him, though you'd think it would make him HATE the hostiles, not still join them, so maybe Ben learns the truth about how Sayid is from the future and how in the future he's all evil, but if he learned that as this cute sweet little kid, why wouldn't he try to AVERT that future? Maybe Juliet saves him and that is why in the future he's all obessed with them being together and recruiting her to come to the Island? Maybe Adult Ben KNOWS that Sayid needs to go back to the past and shoot him in the chest as a child and so knows Sayid must return to the Island? ALTERNATIVELY, what if the past CAN be changed and will change the future, ala Back to the Future? But it's IMPOSSIBLE, Ben can't have died, it would make no sense. Therefore child Ben must live. Maybe Jin's gun was like a BB gun? Maybe it missed vital organs? Maybe it was shooting blanks and little Ben just fainted from shock? Maybe being shot just totally fucked up his head and made him the evil man who kills his own people and is Adult Ben in the future? WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!!
