And I know that you were angry that I lied to you about who I was; but, hell, do you blame me? I mean, let's face it, if I had told you I was one of those people that you and your friends have been calling Others all this time it would have been right back to Sayid and his--fists. Wouldn't it?" Ben
26. "I want for you to change your at--perspective. And, the first step in doing that would be for me to be decent enough to introduce myself honestly, so--Hi, my name is Benjamin Linus and I've lived on this island all my life. You're not going to shake?" Ben

Questions:

1. What were Sawyer and Kate helping the Others build?
2. Where did the Others come from when they got to the dock? Did they take the submarine? How could they get onto the sailboat without Sayid and Jin noticing?
3. Why does Sayid decide to go back instead of looking for Jack, Kate and Sawyer?
4. How could the Others know a minute detail like Jack being a Boston Red Sox fan?

Favorites:

1. "You expect me to work in this dress?" Kate "Well, it's up to you. You can take it off if you want." Pickett "How dare you!" Sawyer
2. "I got a question, boss." Sawyer
3. "You're not going to shake?" Ben
4. "If you wanted me to believe this, you probably should have picked somebody else besides the Red Sox." Jack "No, they were down 3 games to none against the Yankees in the league championship, and then they won 8 straight." Ben "Sure. Sure, of course they did." Jack

Notes:

1. I don't really understand how Danny Pickett went from the guy who said "See you in the funny pages" to Michael when he took blood from him, to so angry toward Kate and Sawyer when they're breaking rocks, even before Colleen dies.
2. I absolutely love the scene where Jack sees the Red Sox winning the World Series. It's probably the only scene, besides where Jae Lee commits suicide, that I like in this episode.
3. Upon initial reaction, I never thought that Sun pushed Jae Lee off the balcony, although I wouldn't put it past her, and can definitely see the symbolism.
4. It's really cool that LOST started the phrase, "That's why the Sox'll never win the Series," and it not only paid off in this episode, but the Red Sox, in fact, did win the World Series the same year that LOST aired and started using the phrase on the show, 2004. Coincidence?
