  3. This is the first time we see Henry Gale, or Benry. What were we getting ourselves into, Benjamin Linus?
  4. The Sayid and Henry Gale scenes are so powerful, kudos to Naveen Andrews and Michael Emerson. I really love those scenes.
  5. The apparent whispers when Jack is pulling Sayid off of Henry Gale, From Dark UFO: Too close (Right after Henry says “I’ll tell you whatever you want”). Don't talk to them (Behind "He's lying"). That guy's stupid (Behind "He's lying"). I'd never let them beat me. I protect my people. What do you want to do? (Very faint) Don't let them break you, Henry (Very faint). Who told you they're gone? Think carefully now. How are we gonna save Henry? You can't save him. I can hear you. What have I got to do? Try to save Henry (I can't see you).
  6. The whispers when the countdown clock hits zero, From Dark UFO: (Center Channel) Let go of Henry. Can we (just) abort? I warned him not to do it. Can't do it from the shelter (south)? Can't move him ? Hello? Apparently they have done this before. Time to get another. I've decided to go with this (I want to see it). We'll decide. (Center Channel Fast)Stop him. That'll do (I'll go). I would have saved him but she ran into him. We need a torturer (Silence). Control of his buddy (Silence). You've heard them fighting for control? All over. (Center Channel Super Fast) What are they going to do to Henry in there?(Silence) Plan something. He got busted. It's not over (This part was a different speed than the rest). Obviously he knows something. Drop the (blast) door. It's gone wrong (In background). Don't set 'em free. (Left & Right Channel) You tell him what to do. Is he crawling? Why don't you tell him who you are? Thought I could get you to them. It's not over. Who called the doctor? (Left & Right Channel Fast) I don't think he'll be able to con them. Boy, that makes you confident. Is that computer on? How long has it gone for?(Combined with music) He's fine (Combined with music). (Left Channel Super Fast) Stand up so they'll call it off. Who are you caring about? He don't work. We wanted to share it. (Right Channel Super Fast) Somehow we will go and reach him. From here it wasn't so great.
  7. The whispers during the interrogation/torture scene, From Dark UFO: Maybe we should have stopped it/him. Try to execute. We've got to see if we can get through to him (Sayid: Tell me about this balloon). Get off for a second (Henry: What?). Something's blocking it. It's right beside him (Sayid: This balloon that brought you here with your wife). Go ahead and do it. Might have heard from him. My eyes hurt (Henry: What do you want to know). Is he gonna give it away? He's interrogating him (Sayid: Everything). Calmly begin speaking and act completely. So, it's okay. We can get you through this ordeal. We are minding the radio (Henry: She's a hundred and forty feet high, sixty feet wide.) It ain't sixty feet. It can't be much taller than that, maybe a hundred footer (Henry: and when she's up in the air, 550,000 cubic feet of helium.) Clearly he thought you were on top if it. Clearly he's not too on top of it. That gives more to do. (Henry: And if you could look down on her.) He's on to him. Probably blew it. (Henry: you'd see a.) So, he buys it. He played him. (Henry: big yellow smiley face on top) It's not quite ready. I need help. They don't believe him. (Sayid: Why would you travel in that way?) Tell him "for my business." Why else would he do it? (Henry: Because I was rich.) Any country might have fit. Just stay calm and he won't hurt you. (Henry: It was my dream.) I know you're doing something. Screwed something up. He "beeped" it up. I don't know how else to put it.
  8. I do not hear any of these whispers.

  18. "You were so busy worrying about eachother, you never even saw me coming, did you?" Sawyer

  20. Sawyer tells Cassidy the truth, that Gordy is going to kill him, that he knew about the money, that she was the long con, tells her to leave, go to Sioux City, Sage Flower Motel off Highway 29, wait for him, says he loves her.
  21. Kate figures everything out, that Sawyer played them all. She thinks that he wants everyone to hate him and that's why he did it.

Notes:
  1. We the viewers are put on a long con because the first person they show when Sun is attacked is Sawyer, leading us to believe that he has nothing to do with it.
  2. It's amazing how much Sawyer has changed and grown as a character. He says that he's never done a good thing in his life, but in the end, he does.
  3. Sawyer cons Cassidy off-island and knows that she will figure him out and want to work with him, while he cons the survivors on-island and knows that Kate will ask him to help her. They both play into Sawyer's hands.
  4. I believe that Sawyer long conned Gordy as well as Cassidy.

Questions:
  1. What was the significance of Charlie's dream? Was it really to baptize Aaron or is he in greater danger?

  3. Did Hurley really step on Libby's foot? How does he really know her?

  4. "You hittin' that?" Ana Lucia asks Jack about Kate.
  5. Eko baptizing Claire and Aaron.
Notes:
  1. I like the dream sequence in this episode, but otherwise it's pretty disappointing. I can see how a lot of people dropped the show during Season 2. It definitely isn't my favorite, but I enjoy it a lot more now going back and watching than I did when it aired.
  2. The scene with Ana Lucia and Jack coming out of the jungle is purely there to show us that they're talking about raising an army, which is pure crap because they never do anything with it.
  3. It is impossible for Hurley to have stepped on Libby's foot considering he was in the front of the plane and she was in the back. How did she know he was the last one on the plane? How could she have known he was sweaty and had headphones, especially considering he didn't put his headphones on until the plane took off?
  4. Claire is allowed to be crazy and annoying in this episode. However, Locke has no excuses.

  4. Why don't the Others just explain the situation to them?
  5. Why don't they just take them right there?
  6. Why would Mr. Friendly quote Alvar Hanso? Is he Dharma?
  7. What happened to the damn army?
Favorites:
  1. "Did you just throw a banana at me? There are better ways to wake a man up, Freckles." Sawyer
  2. "It's a good thing I'm traveling with my doctor." Sawyer
  3. "Well, yeah, there's my favorite leaf. How could I forget this place?" Sawyer
  4. "Why'd you pick that name?" Locke "Ain't it obvious? All you need is an earring and a mop." Sawyer
  5. "Do you think Claire's missed me yet?" Charlie "Dude, it's been a day." Hurley
  6. "This music is quite depressing." Sayid From Lostpedia
  7. "That's an interesting theory." Mr. Friendly
  8. "You and me ain't done, Zeke." Sawyer
Notes:
  1. Jack, stop being such a big baby. If you weren't so awkward and emotional about everything and had taken Kate with you, she wouldn't have been captured by the Others and used against you!
  2. Um, Jack, brilliant idea, but why don't you ask the one dude on the island who has actually been in an army?
  3. The scene with the Others and Mr. Friendly is clearly the best scenes in this episode, otherwise it is by far not one of my favorites.
  4. "Since the dawn of our species man has been blessed with curiosity." A quote from Alvar Hanso.

    Favorites:
    1. "Yeah, that must have been tough to live up to, right? The pressure of everyone saying, "Why can't you be more like your brother, Moses?" Claire

    5. "You climb it. What if I don't? You going to beat me with your Jesus stick? I find it a little odd that your scripture stick has dried blood on it." Charlie
    Notes:
    1. The two brothers that play young Eko and young Yemi are actually brothers in real life.
    2. From Lostpedia: Even though the line of the 23rd Psalm that Eko recites with Charlie is supposed to be "the valley of the shadow of death," both clearly say, "the shadow of the valley of death." When the writers created this scene, they made that mistake, but upon reflection believed that the error was appropriate as Eko was never a proper priest.
    3. The first time we knew of Yemi was when Locke had a dream about the plane and Boone climbed up into it, discovering Yemi's body inside.
    4. Mr. Eko comes face to face with the Smoke Monster and it did not harm him, just as John Locke did.
    5. Charlie's story with his brother, Liam, parallels the story of Eko and his brother, Yemi.
    6. This is where the Charlie and Claire story really starts to get annoying.
    7. The whispers with Mr. Eko and the Smoke Monster, From Dark UFO: (Facing off with Mr. Eko) Who are you and why are you here? Report, report! Saw Charlie with him. There’s Charlie. Go to hell. Steadily. (Within the smoke) He’s trying here. Nothing yet. Now try him from here, okay. Those are the roles (or rules) you accept. Go to hell (said with Eko’s accent). Nine. Where? Seven.He’s hiding something. He’s hiding from me.
