So did Lockes Mom people say. Kate resembles Annie, Jack resembles Ray, Ben resemble Thomas, Miles resembles Chang, and so on. But I truly think, in this case it is going to be a fine piece of writing that ties them together. This episode was so well written it was incredible. They have a direction, and are moving faster than light to reach it. We take for granted the fact that we are on a theory page, day in and out, putting hundreds of peoples heads together to decipher a show written by only a few people...and they still keep fooling us! We take for granted, that they at the same time, hand us our theories, silver platter and all. And we are too busy theorizing the next clue to really appreciate it. Then, they take thoughts and ideas that we have, and throw them in our faces with an almost laughable disgust... Hurley: "I have a theory as to why we're the only ones who can see it." Locke: "I'd love to hear it." Hurley: "I think we can see it 'cause we're the craziest." Spectacular. The episode with thise three in it trecking through the jungle in search of the dissapearing cabin...lol. They could make a sitcom out of it. This episode was something speacial to me, and I cannot believe people were dissapointed in anything. We saw Sayids life through how many different timeperiods, not in chronological order, and it made perfect sense, everything! We were astonished by flashbacks, suprised by flash forewards, and blown away when the Jin/Sun episode went down in season 4 with both. This occures, and nobody even gets how amazing it was. What other show could do that? Easily a 10/10, and in the running for my favorite episode ever. And thats a big leap for me, seeing that there is nothing I love more on television, than a Linus/Locke debate/conversation. Two phenominal actors playing roles that fit so well its scary. Then these evil writers come in, make the episode about the person who seems to be the least interesting out of the 815ers, and make it into this masterpiece.

Oddly enough, I think we were simoposting ojd, so I was just writing that on another post while you were writing about it here. Fun times. I think knocked Jin out.

My only question is, did Sayid kill Jin, or just knock him out?

Old Ben knew he was going to get shot by Sayid as a boy - so he knew he had to get Jack back to the island to save his life. Maybe that is why Ben was manipulating Jack to return to the island? Back in Season 3 - Ben only wanted Jack to perform surgery on his spine to remove the tumor because Jack had saved his life before in the past when Sayid shot him. Just some thoughts...

I know this because I've seen him alive as an adult. Someone will save his life. Probably not Jack because his aptitude test scores were WAY too low. My money is on Juliet. Or maybe that DHARMA doctor but I doubt it... he seemed like an idiot. Did anyone notice where Ben was shot? He appeared to have been hit right in the lung. We have good evidence, not just from real life but from the show, that this kind of injury doesn't kill right away. Remember the Marshall? Sawyer shot him in the chest and Jack made sure we all knew that he could live (uncomfortably, but still) for a while that way. Someone will save him. Ben isn’t going to die.

One, if Ben has something that he needs to accomplish, then the island won't let him die, like Michael. Two, I'm thinking that Ben didn't know about meeting them in previous seasons, but he does realize it now. Similar to how Desmond woke up with the memory of Daniel telling him to find his mother, but didn't have the memory when he went to sleep. Two thoughts.
