>: 38 ONE OF THEM
"My name is Sayid Jarrah. And I am a torturer."
man, i knew he was about to introduce himself as such and the delivery still freaked me out. is it getting....dark on the island or what? locke, sawyer, charlie, now sayid, people are wrestling with some demons. so, our favorite iraqi snaps out of his dead blonde funk and gets back to his specialty, torture in pursuit of the Truth! did any other carnivale fans join me in yelling at the TV for about a minute after clancy brown's name came up? i so badly wanted him to be on the island, where rousseau was leading sayid, not so. he delivered a solid performance as the american who first shows sayid his path. so, i read that the soldier who brought sayid in and talked with him at the end was kate's father, not kate's actual father (wayne got blowed up) but the upright one. he was looking at an old picture of kate as a girl at the end. so, how does this square with that blink and you miss it shot of sayid on the TV when she pays almost-dad a visit after going on the run initially? was that just old footage, the way we're just now seeing torture footage from a couple years ago? meaning, almost-dad brings sayid in, goes home the next yr, and then kate comes in and we see the old footage? i dunno, this is kind of like hurley showing up on korean television for winning the lottery, there's no reason i can see for why that image would be on the screen, other than to connect things arbitrarily. was dad just sitting in the recruitment station watching his greatest hits? 'we brought that boy in last year and made him pull out his commanding officer's fingernails.'
sawyer and hurley for a b-plot was fun enough, second time sawyer's talked an accomplice into a junglequest to track some beast that's ailing him. knew he was gonna squash that little critter.
and henry gale. do we believe him? sayid sure didn't. i dug that last talk between sayid and charlie. guys never sit on the beach and say things to each other like 'there is a man down in the hatch, locked in the armory. i beat him. badly.' we need a little more of that. there was a watchmen reference, when gale was talking about his balloon, how it looks like a smiley-face from above. love it.
of course, the big news, we got to see the countdown expire. here's the thing, did locke actually hit execute later, but the camera was on the timer? did he stop whatever it was from happening? didn't think so at first, now that seems to be the case. i thought some blast doors were about to come down. man, if they wait until the last minute of the season to go through with all that again, it is going to be one longass summer. the hieroglyphics that came down in place of the numbers are attached, seem to translate to caus.die. not TOO ominous.
jack is a freakin idiot not to enlist locke and sayid, if he's in any way serious about an army. strategy beats crazy every time.
you know, there were no crowd scenes, most of the show was one on one dialogue, only four people at the end w/ locke v. jack and sayid v. gale/other, only people we even saw (in the present) were those four, the sawyer/babar b-team, and brief flashes of ana, charlie, and danielle. oh and jin
wonder what eko kate claire aaron sun libby rose bernard michael walt desmond the pirate others the nanobeast the other others (if they exist) were up to? next week, island faithful, for answers and more questions.
