Sayid goes with Kate and Miles in search of Locke to negociate about Charlotte.

Daniel contacts the boat and tries to receive something.

Hurley starts having doubts about his choice.


Sayid's working for Ben! How did that happen?????

Did Kate really choose to stay behind or did Sayid trade her.

Great moment seeing the helicopter leave the island finally, wonder what's/who's on the boat?

Sad for Sayid's character that he has become an assassin off the island no matter what the intention. What is he protecting the others from?

At the moment, on the island I trust him although I cannot imagine how Ben gets him to work for him. I like the four new characters from the boat :)

Four new characters are really good actually, i was expecting not to like them, but they've made them really interesting and fun, 2 eps and it feels like they've been around a lot longer.

Not sure how much i'd trust Sayid on the island, i'm curious about the connection between the bracelets, Naomi's one which he spent a while looking at and then his gf wearing a similar one - coincidence or fate?

The time dilation thing was interesting as well.

Radio comms appeared to be in 'real' time, yet when the ship attempted to deliver the payload to the island it was delayed. Fascinating.

Sayid's situation, again, intruiging. I'm sure that Sayid's intentions on the island are honourable. I think he'll end up working for Ben through guilt or necessity.

So, the Oceanic Six; Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, ???, ??? Ben can't be classed as one of the other two as he wasn't on the Oceanic flight. So, who are the other two? Any guesses?

Loving Season 4 so far, this is Lost at its very best. :thumbsup:

As for the other 2 - do you think Desmond or Juliet would count as they weren't on the flight? I don't think Ben counts. I'm guessing Sun and Jin, because if she doesn't leave the island she'll die, but then what happens to all the other people who stayed wiht Jack.

I hadn't thought about the radio comms, that is strange.

Your right this is Lost at its very best. Can't wait for more!

Really enjoying S4 so far. :thumbsup:

I was hoping Sayid would make it off the Island and I do believe his intention's are honourable and when I thought he was going around killing the people responsible for what had happened to ( or is going to happen to ) them I could believe it would be something he would do but the reveal at the end that he's somehow working for Ben has really thrown me. :ponder:

As to the other two Oceanic 6 when Jack met Kate in the first S3 flash forward she said something about having to get back to 'him' which at the time I took to be Sawyer but now I'm not too sure. Also in the S3 flash forward Jack read about someone dying which again at the time I took to be another survivor but yet it was only a tiny piece in the paper and nobody else turned up to the funeral while in the more recent FF's the Oceanic 6 are almost famous and surely if it was one of the 6 all the others would know about it. :shrug:

Oh and we shouldn't forget about Micheal & Walt should we.

Really wouldn't surprise me if the 'him' was Ben.

I tend to agree with you though, in that we shouldn't forget Michael and Walt, they would probably be my guesses at this point, since technically, they're already supposed to have made it back.

Oooh that makes sense. :)

But then why would Jack & Hurley be allowed to go back to a normal life but not Sayid & Kate. :ponder:

I'd imagine that both Sayid and Kate have skills that Ben could put to use back in the real world. It doesn't look as though the departure of the Oceanic Six was exactly 'clean'. Who is Ben having Sayid hunt down? What did they do? Why are they lying about the others left on the island?

I think the last couple of episodes of last season, and the first three this season have got me as excited about the series as I was at the backend of the first season. They've provided the perfect example of how to start answering some questions whilst not giving the game away and still keeping people guessing.

Top stuff so far. :thumbsup:

I`m actually enjoying watching this, too. :lol:

I wonder if Sayid is hunting down the original scientists, you know, the wotsit group. Sorry, brain not working at this hour. :lol:

TV Crazy - February 21, 2008 10:27 PM (GMT)
I suppose Sayid could be hunting down the Dharma Initiative. As Ben killed most of them, he's obviously not on their side, so Ben could be making Sayid do his dirty work for him. But what i'm more interested in is why?

Do you think Kate could be working for Ben as well, and Ben could be the "him" she's refering to?
