Some of the younger versions of the Losties don’t look much like the current day people we know, but little Miles looks pretty convincing. Poor kid.
Radzinksi is in “Hostile territory.” Horace gave Miles a body bag, and Radzinki gave Miles a dead Hostile to bring back. So even DHARMA has Black Ops.
Oh wow… so Miles went to the island so that he could find his father’s body. Gotta be weird for him seeing his father back in the ’70s.
Roger’s freaking out about Ben not being in his hospital bed. At least he’s starting to act a little more human about his son. Too bad it’s too late.
Isn’t that comforting, Miles? Both you and Hurley can talk to dead people, although you can only talk to them in the presence of the body. Dead people come to visit Hurley instead. Of course, Miles has some rather questionable morals when it comes to “talking to dead people” for money. And we just saw him recruited by Naomi.
That was a bad idea, Kate.
“You’re just jealous my power is better than yours.” Hurley and Miles will never be as good as Hurley and Charlie, but they certainly have some entertaining conversations. Pierre Chang is a real fun guy, threatening Hurley with polar bear poop. “That douche is my dad.” I hate that word.
OMG, my husband just realized that Miles was his son right now. Apparently I don’t share enough of my musings out loud.
Miles is having an audition. The guy’s name is Felix, and he was delivering papers to Charles Widmore with a photograph of a bunch of graves and a purchase order for a plane. And Miles truly is only interested in money. Tracking down a mass murderer – i.e. Ben – is totally cool with him for $1.6 million.
Jack is having a compassionate moment, trying to cover for Roger on his janitorial rounds.
Dude, are they building the Swan? They totally are. Oh look, the hatch door. Uh oh. Hurley is witnessing the stamping of the numbers on the hatch door.
Miles is grabbed outside a La Vida Taco. “You owe me a fish taco.” LOL. ”Do you know what lies in the shadow of the statue?” That’s the same thing that Ilana said before she smacked Frank in the head with an oar. Oh, and he chose the $3.2 million figure because it’s double what Widmore is paying him.
The episode title! Hurley is trying to write the script to Empire Strikes Back. He wants to send the script to George Lucas. That’s hilarious!
Phil is going to be trouble. Maybe he’s going to be trouble right now. Or Sawyer can deck him and tie him up.
Is there anyone on this island who doesn’t have daddy issues? OMG, Hurley is equating Miles to Luke Skywalker. He mentions an interesting point about the lightsaber battle where Luke lost his hand. I mean, we see his dad with a prosthetic arm in one of the orientation videos.
Daniel arrived on the sub as one of the scientists from Ann Arbor. Not who I was expecting. I was hoping we’d get a little bit of an ARG connection here, but if it happens, we won’t know for two weeks. Sigh.

My first thought… That doesn’t look like a young Sayid. And it wasn’t. Sayid was the younger brother.
And the “Previously on LOST” gave me a revelation. Young Ben taking Juliet duty bringing Sayid sandwiches. The previews showing Sawyer telling Sayid he’s on his own. Sayid has his axe to grind, and he’s going to plant the seeds for what will become the Purge!
What does Horace mean, he’s going to have to take it to the next level? He’s not such a hippy when he talks like that.
Alright. Why wouldn’t Sayid want to join Sawyer’s party in Otherville? Just because of Ben?
Hurley works in the cafeteria. Not a big stretch for him at least. It’s not quite Mr. Cluck’s, but I bet he’ll make the best of it.
Who is this Oldham? Sawyer called him a psychopath, and Roger’s tone of voice made me think of Sayid the Torturer. I’m guessing that’s where they get the episode title from. Sawyer’s going to tell him “He’s our you.”
And now we find out why Sayid was on Ajira Flight 316. Ben came to tell him that he thinks “someone” murdered John Locke. Funny he would think that, since he’s the one who did it. The “same people” are sitting outside Hurley’s mental institution. So it was Ben’s people out there. He’s orchestrated an awful lot of crap.
What is Oldham giving him? Some sort of truth serum? This doesn’t bode well for our heroes.
Sayid’s drinking a $120 glass of Scotch with the woman who’s going to have him in handcuffs in a day or two. And not in a fun way. What do you think, she’s playing coy with him to get him to confess to murder? Yeah, that’s gotta be it. She’s a detective or something.
“Ask Sawyer.”
“Who’s Sawyer?”
There’s a close one! Good thing he’s going by LaFleur now. Phew.
“Maybe I should use half a dropper.” LOL! Sayid on acid is pretty amusing. At least he was hopped up so they might just think he was talking nonsense.
Sawyer just voted to kill Sayid. Under duress, but he did it. So how is he going to get Sayid out of this one? He’s going to have to orchestrate an elaborate escape that doesn’t make it look like he did nothing of the sort. He needs to save Sayid without compromising himself and the rest of his friends.
Aha, she’s a bounty hunter. That’s why she’s bringing him to Guam instead of some other location. The guy he killed on the golf course. That was the first one we saw him kill in his flash forwards.
Now Sayid’s getting all philosophical about his purpose. He’s starting to sound like Locke.
Umm… burning DHARMA bus? Whose house was that? Hoodie Ben got beat down by his daddy, and he set a bus on fire to create a diversion to bust Sayid out of the slammer before he has to walk the green mile.
Sayid’s purpose is to deliver Ben to the Hostiles? Oh dear. Seems I was right.
… and it seems I was wrong. He tried to change history by killing young Ben. But that can’t happenn or it will cause all sorts of paradoxes. So the island won’t let the kid die. What’s it going to be, a book in his pocket?
