Another 5 star episode for me!
We have another of our Oceanic 6 revealed!
1. Jack
2. Kate
3. Hurley
4. Sayid
Two more to be revealed! Ben doesn't count as he wasn't on Oceanic but apparently he's off the island in future and by the looks of the stuff Sayid found in that secret room, Ben's got passports and money for everywhere making it seem like Ben's done quite a bit of off-island traveling.
Yah, yah. You Skaters got a little Skater moment there. I'm still a Jater all the way but there's at least one big reason for it that I can't say yet. I believe it's coming up soonish! Can't wait for it. I've been keeping silent all this time, not being able to fully back up my ships!
Very curious about the experiment Faraday was doing. Apparently it's related to time. Seems like time isn't working the same on-island as it is off-island. That payload was 31 minutes off. Very interesting! He told Lapidus very pointedly to follow the exact same bearing on their way back to the boat. I guess that means there's something about the exact way you travel to and from?? I'm so not a physicist so I couldn't even begin to make guesses!
That feeling though toward the end with Sayid and Desmond on the helicopter. Flying away from the island over the water. Oh man, even though we already know Sayid made it off, seeing him travel away on a helicopter gave me this feeling of triumph. Like, YES! He's made it! But we know there's still trouble ahead. His main goal in going was not to get off the island, but to find out about these people on the boat.
I was even more excited for Desmond to be on that helicopter. I so badly want more Penny/Desmond! I feel like this is more of a chance for that to happen than for him to be on the island still. Penny's not connected to anybody already on-island but those people on the boat seem to have no problem with communications. After all these years of being hopelessly stuck in silence, there finally seems to be a glimmer of hope!
Lapidus and probably Faraday don't seem like they're on the side of the people on the boat either. When Faraday said he wanted to call the ship, Lapidus told him to hang up if Minkowski answers. I guess that's the guy in charge. I figured that Lapidus' main concern was figuring out what happened and Daniel seems like way too sweet and innocent, adorkable nerd to mean anyone actual harm. I think his interest is purely scientific.
So crazy that Sayid is working for Ben! Really loved how he said that the day he starts trusting Ben is the day he's sold his soul and just a bit later, it's revealed the man on the other side of the phone with Sayid, giving him his tasks and instructions, is none other than Ben. Wow. Ben is THE master manipulator!
Who are these people though on Ben's hit list? I can only assume they have a connection to the people on the boat. I'm guessing they all work for the same guy at the top, but who?
Poor Sayid. He got his heart involved. I was really surprised that he and Elsa were both playing each other. I totally didn't see that coming. She seemed so innocent and sincere.
Can't wait to learn more about this mysterious arch nemesis!
