So here goes! I scribble these as I watch so I claim no coherency. It wouldn’t even make sense to anyone who doesn’t watch the show already and yeah, if you haven’t seen this episode, Thar Be Spoilers Ahead. Yarr.

* I love that the Previously section includes more than just this season. That’s nice! It also reminds us that Sayid had a “jowly” period there for awhile.
* So which one is Sayid? The one who would or the one who wouldn’t?
* Ah ha. Now I’m curious what happened to his brother.
* So here’s Benry bringing sammiches to Sayid. He seems nice. I wonder if this is before or after he begged to join the Hostiles.
* Book: Carlos Castaneda, A Separate Reality.
* They can’t hear, huh?
* Oh, he ran away four years ago. So the kid is four years older now than last time they filmed with him. Convenient. (:
* At least my question got answered, this is after he met Richard.
* I know I shouldn’t underestimate Benry but here he’s just a kid. How can he help Sayid?
* Moscow? Oooh! Weren’t we in Russia once before? No?
* When the crap is this?
* Oh it’s flatironed slightly jowly Sayid. I wonder just when this is though.
* So how is this what went down?
* You’re gonna just cut him loose? Sayid sounds weird. Is he dubbed or something?
* I’m still not entirely certain how they got mixed up together.
* Horace freaks me out a little.
* “I’m Horace.” I know. You’re clearly labeled. (:
* Once again LOST, I am ALL kinds of interested in how this goes down.
* So who’s “the next level”? Sawyer or JC?
* IT’S BACON!!!!! (Sorry. I had to.)
* I do not doubt Sawyer has it under control but I want him to look her in the eye and say now that he has the option he chooses Juliet.
* A twelve year old Ben Linus brought me a chicken salad sandwich. How do you think I’m doing?
* I have to admit I’m pretty surprised Sawyer likes his “La Fleur” lifestyle, but he certainly seems to.
* Oh noes. Con Artist vs Iraqi Republican Guard? My money’s on Sayid.
* I like Hurley. I want to see more of him!
* I wonder what will happen with Kate now. Even if she decides she wants Sawyer back will he take her?
* I wonder if Sayid will feel a little bad for Benry now, knowing what he knows.
* Oh look, Habitat for Humanity Sayid. With realistic hammering action!
* How was John Locke murdered? Oh that’s right, BENRY!
* I’m not convinced it’s in Sayid’s nature. I think he does what he has to do.
* I wonder if we will ever see a moment when Big Benry recognizes Sayid.
* I also wonder if Sayid will be part of who/what precipitates The Purge.
* Is this Kloo or Clue or whatever the hell her name is?
* Oldham? Do I know him yet?
* Ohhhhhh, goody. “He’s our you.”
* He looks a little “This is my brother Daryl, this is my other brother Daryl.” to me. (And I’m right! Number 71!)
* Is it LSD or something?
* I don’t need all this replay it wasn’t that long ago.
* “If I see you again it will be extremely unpleasant for us both.” I wonder if that will end up being true since next time he saw him it was Baby Benry.
* Who is she? Is she really an air marshall person? Was she looking for him?
* I think I like her. She gets on well with Sayid, too.
* I wonder what will happen if Sayid tells the truth. He doesn’t have a choice, apparently, so I wonder what will happen to him. They won’t believe his story but they won’t believe he lied, either.
* Do we know Radzinski from some other context? I’m not sure I remember him. (He’s been mentioned, I looked him up and he drew the blast door map and killed himself in the Swan station according to the other guy in the Swan station, Kelvin, who was the guy there with Desmond.)
* “Because I am from the future.” Oh here we go.
* “How are you with a flat 4 engine?” How are YOU with a flat 4 engine Juliet? And WHY are you anything with a flat 4 engine??
* Sawyer just got an eyeful of Kate and Juliet. He’s gotta be Dharma-ing in his shorts right now.
* Ann Arbor?
* Why don’t they just give him another day? How is ONE DAY so uncivilized?
* How does Amy get to convince them? Why does she get a chance to say anything? Dharma strikes me as a “shh, baby, grownups are talking” sort of situation.
* I would really like to say it’s unanimous? WHY DID THAT WORK?
* Oh my.
* Oh my!
* Who is he? Oh the golf course guy. That’s why we saw that in the Previously.
* WTF? Sayid turned into Locke? There is a reason for him to be here?
* “Hey.” “Hi.” Awwwwwk-warrrrrrrd!
* Christ with a Molotov Cocktail! Who sent the van through Dharmaville?
* Who lives in there? Is it the community center?
* Wait, did Benry do it to spring Sayid?
* Oh look, Benry did it to spring Sayid.
* Um. Is this Sayid’s Special Purpose? To bring down Dharma?
* Oh look, Sayid’s Special Purpose is to bring down Dharma.
* Airport.
* Oh, Ajira 316.
* Are you sure we’re going to Guam? hahahahahahahahahahaha
* I wonder how they ended up on that flight just in general. Didn’t Hurley buy all the tickets?
* “A monster responsible for nothing short of genocide.” Is this because you helped him commit it?
* If Sayid helped Benry get away from Dharma and eventually bring them down, doesn’t that mean Benry owes him one? How does Sayid end up working for him?
* WHAT
* THE
* FRAK
* ????????????????
* How does Sayid just straight up shoot him?
* Doesn’t this bugger up like 23 different timelines?
* How is there a Big Benry if Sayid shot Baby Benry?
* I am SO confused right now. And I love it. This is something to puzzle over.
* If there’s no Benry how is there a Dharma Decimation?
* Are we in alternate timeline land now?
* Is there some other reason why this happened but isn’t causing tragedy? Is it because they ended the episode first?
* He didn’t kill Jin, so what happens when he wakes up?
* Hurry up new LOST! For once I want to go read spoilers of the next episode because I wanna know JUST that bad.

Fire away! Theories and debunkings of my own are welcome!

So here goes! I scribbled these as I watched them so I claim no coherency. It wouldn’t even make sense to anyone who doesn’t watch the show already and yeah, if you haven’t seen tonight’s episode, Thar Be Spoilers Ahead. Yarr.

Previously on Lost:
(BTW: Can’t they get that guy to be Mister Narrator Man on the podcast and such? I like this voice WAY better than that one.)
* Benry and the Wheel, island vanishes.
* Juliet and Daniel talk, Daniel tells Desmond to go find his mum.
* Des wakes up off the island for 3 years, says it was a memory.
—
* Goats? Kids? Markets? WTF?
* Desmond? What are you shouting? A name?
* Penny? OMG!!!
* Oh this is so many questions right here. Who? How?
* He has a ring on are they finally married in this when?
* What an adorable kid in the now.
* How is Desmond the only one who can help? He’s not one of the 6. Is this something to do with Daniel’s mum?
* What island are they headed to now?
* Who’s THAT guy? And that one?
* What’s wrong with Charlotte? I’m very curious to know. Is it because she’s born on the island?
* Are Daniel’s feelings in the way of helping Charlotte?
* Did Miles see that eause he heard the dead people and they weren’t dead yet?
* Um. Oh crap. Why do they have arrows but not guns?
* Oh there’s one. Who’s she? Why does she know him?
* I wonder if he remembered it when it happened in DANIEL’S timeline because he couldn’t remember it until it happened to both of them.
* Why do I have a really bad feeling about him leaving that room?
I notice though he didn’t promise her any such thing.
* I guess it doesn’t really matter who those two were, huh?
* Wait, what? Whose landmines were they?
* There were 20 at the beach?
* She’s out of control of what happens? Because of Jacob maybe?
* Are we going to learn more about the Russian soldier guy?
* They are Others!? How’s THAT work?
* What Miles? WHAT?
* Is it me or is Miles going gray REALLY quickly?
* Is this the Kloo camp? Wait maybe not. Richard?
* Bomb? What bomb?
* Y HALO THAR OXFORD!
* No Faraday? I’m shocked. Really.
* Why didn’t he ask who’s in the offices over the Physics labs now? Wouldn’t that be useful?
* Fumigation? Shenanigans. Clerical error indeed. I’d bet my failsafe key that error is no error at all.
* Who’s the girl in the photo?
* !!! Who’s this guy? What’s he up to? Is he with Abaddon or Dharma? And who’s on The Island he’s related to? (:
* What he did to that poor girl? Did he send her back and it went all wrong?
* Charlotte should really start being nicer to Daniel and maybe he’d level with her about what’s going on with her headache and nosebleeds.
* Who came and blew it up? Dharma? Is that the faction the soldier came with?
* That’s a tactic I haven’t seen. Love? Interesting. I like how he put together the H-Bomb info though.
* Others 101. Heh.
* Um. WTF? One of my people? How’s THAT work?
* How’d he get there? Who’s she?
* Good Lord I’m confused.
* So this must be That Poor Girl. I wonder how this happened. I though maybe she was going to beat him up or something.
* So Daniel is the key to how Charles got involved. Hmmm.
* I have to admit I’m impressed with how quickly Daniel put together his H-Bomb info and was right about it!
* Why didn’t she say she loved him back? Doesn’t she? What reason does he have to return now?
* And really, what sort of girl doesn’t already know?
* 18 members? not 15 or 16 or 23? You’re slipping guys! (:
* Every time they show Richard I get all distracted by his guyliner.
* I wonder if Richard really does know NOW how to save the Island or if it’s later on for him.
* I wonder how long Jughead’s been there.
* Can’t he just open the helpfully labeled Trigger Control Panel and defuse it?
* Oh goody, she’s freaking out and she has a gun. Why is she demanding all this information? What does she care?
* Now that she’s gotten this out of him she’s taking it remarkably well…
* Greetings ChuckyWucky! How’s tricks?
* Well that is an interesting reaction to that question.
* Is she safe? This makes him verge on human. That’s no good. And I’m not convinced that’s a legit address either. Other people flying to LA is what started all this…
* He really does love Penny. I guess that’s a good thing.
* Um. That’s a nice reaction. Unarmed man limps into camp and you point a gun at him.
* When in Richard’s timeline did Richard meet Locke?
* WIDMORE????? Oh uh UH!
* Oh thank Jebus he made it back. I’m very glad because I really did wonder. I thought maybe Mrs Hawking would appear.
* What? No she didn’t die. Oh good she knows he’s lying.
* His name is Charlie? That’s very very sweet.
* I think it’s a bad idea to take them with you LA because Charles knows that’s likely your next destination.
* This sounds like a very confusing conversation for Richard.
* I suggest you come and visit me? Hmmmmm.
* And now we’ll never know. Where are they? No wait. WHEN are they?
* I thought sure for some reason this would be the place surrounded by the fence that keeps the smoke monster out.
* Is this a jump forward or a jump back?
* Uh oh. Is this it for her?

Next week’s superfast cuts (after Sun says “Are you sure you want to do this?” “We can go home”)
- Kate kissing Jack (I think)
- Charlotte (but not blinking or anything)
- Ben looking to his left (from a car?)
- Claire? (She looks like she’s yelling or something)
- Kate looking up at someone (I think it’s Claire. I bet it’s when she gets-takes?-Aaron.)
- Someone I don’t know with long dark hair
- Someone’s arms picking up something I can’t tell what though
- I think it’s Sayid, and it’s some sort of weapon maybe? Or something about to be a weapon (:
- Oh, it’s a gun apparently. Those last two cuts were really fast! I was frame advancing on TiVo and they were super super short there too.

This was fun to watch for a few reasons, but mostly I think it’s the Widmore bits I’m most interested in this week.
