Last week’s episdoe, LaFleur -
Just after the scene where Sawyer convinces Juliet to stay on the island rather than take the sub, and just after the screen shows the words, “Three years later”, you see Saywer walking to pick a flower for Juliet. Right around that time, in the background just for a few seconds it looks like they show young Ben sitting on the bench all by himself.
Did anyone else notice this?

Sawyer took the name of an old con. but does anybody remember the episode where Hurley and Sawyer finds the old blue van? The one they fix up? It had a 6 pack of beer and a skeleton wearing a Darmah suit wth the name Laflur. Makes you wonder. We have also seen Horaces’ skeleton as well.

“Will Faraday stop looking at toddler Charlotte all longingly like a damn pedophile?”

LOLing. Hence grown-up Charlotte’s “Crazy man who scared me and told me to never come back” comment.

“And as a random note, no matter how old he is, he’s still super hot! So long as he has a beard of some sort.”

Agreed. But the real question is, long hair or short? I’m so conflicted!

But anyone got any ideas about why Ben went out of his way to stop Locke from killing himself only to flip out and kill him anyway?

And I thought someone on the show said that whoever turns that wheel can never come back. But Locke saw him lying on that bed as one of the “injured” passengers

I’m thinking this stuff ties into the “leadership of the Others/island” thing. Christian Shephard told Locke the other week that he was supposed to turn the wheel, not Ben. Ben told John about not being able to come back. But he lies so often, who knows if that’s true? And Eloise Hawking might be able to help Locke in a way that Ben doesn’t want her to.

Yes, the name has many spellings and transliterations across different Arabic dialects, however, its pronunciation is still with the short i, not the elongated “i” that everyone else on the show pronounces it with. It is distinguished from the pronounciation of Ceaser’s portrayer Said Taghmaoui, which is indeed pronounced Sayeed.

Jill, that’s what I’ve heard. But they also had a lot of traumatic previews re: Sawyer in Season 3, and he’s still alive. In other words: THEY CANNOT KILL SAYID.

Sid, maybe they spelled the name wrong in writing the original scripts, but his name on the show is indeed spelled Sayid. Also, the character himself always pronounces his own name closer to Say-id, but it’s all of the American characters who pronounce it Sayeed.

Kyle, I think that he gave a fake name just because he’s probably so incredibly used to doing that when he’s running a con. Also, assuming that Horace didn’t know his name anyway, they could have all just said “talk to the blond guy.”

Superlagirl, I agree that Desmond looked older than 27 when he was first brought onto the show, and looks older than 30 now. For what it’s worth, I was just surprised to learn that Henry Ian Cusak himself is almost 42! So there you go! (And as a random note, no matter how old he is, he’s still super hot! So long as he has a beard of some sort.)

I’m not sure the baby is Desmond. The baby was born in 77, and the survivors meet Desmond in 2004, which would make him 27. He strikes me as older than that. Then again, I’m not very good judge of age.

I find myself enjoying most episodes where Kate doesn’t play a central part. I think her character is pretty blah, and I constantly forget why I’m supposed to care. The other points of the square, however – Jack, Juliet, and, most of all, Sawyer, I liiike.

The statue was definitely the most exciting part of this episode, though. I squealed delightedly. At least they didn’t totally forget the statue.

Count me in among the people who desperately need Rose & Bernard back, in the meantime.

Anybody else think it was weird that Sawyer gave a fake name? They already knew it was in the past, and that nobody would know who they were. Also, when all the others told Horace to talk to Sawyer, what did they refer to him as? Our captain? James? Why not the regular Sawyer? It seemed like a weak reason just so they could play up the first few minutes pretending that Sawyer and the rest weren’t part of Dharma.
