This is actually kind of disturbing me. After Sun’s pseudo-kidnapping, Vincent disappeared and has yet to show up. Whatever Doper who mentioned he was an omen of doom, he/she was absolutely right.

The first line of Sawyer’s just completely cracked me up. “What?” he yells at Jin, who’s giving him a dirty look as he walks off. “Aren’t we friends anymore?”

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Sawyer how about hell _no_.

I loved Sayid’s breakdown in the bunker. Very well done.

That’s funny - a couple of episodes ago I thought he looked like he was starting to _lose_ weight. Hard to tell, though.

Considering how well his career seems to be going, I don’t blame JG for wanting to keep his “look.”

Well, it appears that Sayid and Kate are connected prior to the flight, at least tangentally. That’s new info.

He is a sun god, the one who avenged his father Osirius’ dismemberment by the evil Set. He’s a protector of the land of the living, which makes sense if it’s popping up as a warning.

The hawk-like symbol in Egyptian–as I far as I can tell, from the online cites I’ve been finding through a Google trawl–is an aleph (a glottal stop, either pronounced [l], [ɾ] or [ʔ]). I guess the roughest equivalent _might_ be an ‘h’. For what it’s worth. 🙂

Obviously not why? I seem to recall that the other station found by the tailies had an arrow symbol. My first assumption was that the five symbols referred to the other five stations. Maybe they were all communicating, and when all the symbols popped up, all the hatch doors would open.

I’d like to second this. Did something delay the show because my DVR was set to record an extra 2 minutes and I didn’t see anything past the beach scene either.

I was referring to the Army guy that was looking at the photo and asked Sayyid if he had a wife and kids. I’m not sure if it was the same guy that brought him into the interrogation room initially. The girl in the photo looked like Kate.

His badge said DIA.

Sawyer did have a weapon, a Pistol, on his ‘big game’ hunt… He had it tucked in his belt (in back) and drew it upon aproaching the 'BBF".

The thing about the scruffy guy that gave sayid money… He somehow reminded me of BB, but I believe BB was shorter, and possibly rounder…

I do think that the Seargant, The one that originally asked Sayid for assistance, was Kate’s ‘dad’.

There was alot of other noise going on when the counter reached zero… that of doors opening and things shifting. Release the Penguin Army!

From the preview

Looked like the medical symbol on the new hatch

Oh yeah… and he went to Charlie at the end to ‘remind him’, cause he ‘knows’ that Charlie helped Sawyer and the gun run… or even if he doesn’t, that’s a good way for Charlie to get back in the good graces, by ‘finding’ Sawyer’s stash.

I thought he reached into his waistband for a pistol to shoot Kermit.

The giant poster above the prison yard in the first flashback looked more like Sawyer than Saddam.

I wonder if the resemblance was intentional.

Atfirst it looked like Sawyer was thinking about keeping the frog as a pet or atleast letting it go. But because Hurley was there, he had to play “mean guy”. He _does_ have an image to uphold ya’ know.
