LOST 3/25/09 (Spoiler Alert!)

Ok ladies, I discovered today that we have a lot of Lost fans on this board.  Let's discuss tonight's episode.  I have been feeling really bad for Sayid lately.  They have turned his character into one that seems tired and weak to me.  Yeah, he's still kicking butt and taking names at times, but he's just not the Sayid that I remember from earlier seasons.  But the end of the episode?  Holy crap!  I'll try to spare those of you that peek in on this first post, but once the cat is out of the bag I'm ready to discuss it.  Crazy stuff going on there!  I wonder how it will impact the rest of the show...

All I want to know is, if "what happened, happened" and you can't change the past, does he stay down? Is he reincarnated? Can't wait 'til next week!

The problem with that theory is that Sayid was not around when Faraday was talking about it.  He has no idea what the consequences will be.  Ok, so neither do we, but I imagine that this could get pretty messy!

Haha!  My jaw dropped.  I couldn't help myself.  What is future Ben going to do when he finds out that his child self has been killed?  Or maybe he's not dead...

Remember a few episodes back when Locke, on the smaller island, went into the sick bay to see who was in there and he saw Ben and said "that's the man who killed me". Well, I believe that "time" (as in date/time) was clearly after Sun smacked Ben with the oar, and after the "time" that Sayid shot 12-year old Ben, so although he may not be dead, he's certainly injured now as a 12-year old, and maybe that's why he was laid up in the sick bay on the little island as future 42-year old Ben.

WOW though! Just one big WOW! I looked at DH and said - OMG, Sayid just shot 12-year old Ben! I was so scared he was going to do something to Jin, like break his neck or something.?

I was nervous for Jin too.  Sayid is in a very desperate frame of mind right now.  I am aching for Jin and Sun's reunion, so I would be crushed if they kill him off now...or her for that matter.  That's a good point that both versions of Ben were injured.  It was only one gunshot...many people have went on to survive from a single gunshot wound.

I also don't think Ben is dead - after all, future Ben is still alive and kicking. If he was killed by Sayid, future Ben wouldn't also be alive.
