So I replied to a newspaper advertisement." Mikhail "An advertisement?" Sayid "Would you like to save the world? it read. That’s how I met them, the Initiative. They’re very secretive, very rich, very smart." Mikhail "So, when did you come to the island?" Sayid "11 years now. I like computers, communications equipment, being along like a lighthouse keeper. So they put me in this station. They called it The Flame." Mikhail "What is the purpose of the flame?" Sayid " To communicate with the outside world, of course."

31. Kate finds a rack of DHARMA jumpsuits, Ms. Klugh pops up from behind it and attacks Kate, Sayid stops her, Kate says it's her, she was there at the dock. Sayid asks if there's any more of them there, but Ms. Klugh is silent.

35. Locke is looking at the computer again, Kate is downstairs, Sayid questions Mikhail, who admits he wasn't a member of the Dharma Initiative, but says that everything else was true. Rousseau wants to kill him, but Sayid says they're collecting whatever is useful from the house, they have a ticket to where the Others live, they can find her daughter, Jack and maybe a way home.
36. Mikhail says that he won't help them, but Sayid has a map to the barracks. From Lostpedia
37. "I didn’t say you were our ticket, did I? This is a map showing electrical and data cabling running from The Flame, here, to a place called The Barracks, here. It’s comprised of houses and dormitories, with water and power large enough to accommodate an entire community. Sounds like a place well worth visiting, don’t you think?" Sayid
38. Mikhail says Sayid will have his guard down, and he won't hesitate to kill him.
39. Sami's wife, Amira, visits Sayid with a similar cat to the one from The Flame.
40. "After my husband and I first arrived in Paris, I was afraid to ever leave our apartment. So I would stare out in the window into the alley, and I would see this cat looking for scraps. One day some children came into the alley and trapped him in a box. I watched them light firecrackers and drop them in the box. I could hear him howl from three stories above. So finally, I had a reason to leave my apartment. I rescued this cat and I brought him home. He sits with me when I read, sleeps with me, and he purrs. But, every once in a while, he will bite me or scratch me. He does this because sometimes he forgets that he is safe now. So I forgive him when he bites me, because I remember what it is like to never feel safe. And that is because of you. So today, I ask only one thing of you: I ask you now to show me the respect by acknowledging what you did to me. That it was you who questioned me, tortured me and that you remember me." Amira From Lostpedia
41. "I remember you. I remember your face. Your face has haunted me ever since I left Iraq. I am sorry. I am so sorry for what I did to you. I am sorry." Sayid
42. Amira forgives Sayid, says she'll tell her husband she was wrong, she made a mistake, that it wasn't him, that they're all capable of doing what the children did to her cat, but she won't do that, won't be that.
43. Rousseau says they should kill Mikhail, but Sayid wont kill him, Locke and Kate show up. Locke says he knows why Mikhail didn't want him to beat the game, The Flame explodes. From Lostpedia
44. "What have you done, John? That place was our one hope of communication with the outside world!" Sayid "The computer said that if there was an incursion of the station by The Hostiles, I should enter 77. So I entered 77." Locke
45. Sayid says they should leave, the explosion will attract attention, he sees the grey cat again.

Questions:

1. How did objects explode out of the hatch when it imploded?
2. How could Sayid live in Paris and not know a lick of French?
3. Why were the codes on the computer in The Flame hidden behind a chess game?
4. Was Mikhail really a member of the Dharma Initiative?
5. Why would Mikhail tell a story that was partly true?

Notes:

1. The Flame station's name foreshadows its ultimate fate.
2. This is where my severe thoughts of time looping began, with Paris and the grey cat.
3. One of my favorite bloopers is from the Season 3 DVD, perhaps my favorite ever, where Naveen Andrews exaggeratedly says, "Not every nook and cranny, John!"

Notes:

1. Wrong Kate, you break the rocks, Sawyer hauls them!
2. This episode is probably my least favorite of the first 6 episodes of Season 3, and the supposed "cliff hanger" sucks, in my opinion. Especially considering the cliff hanger of Jack saying "Dammit, Kate, run!" was in every single promo for the episode. The only saving grace is Nathan Fillion.

Notes:

1. The opening shot of this episode is very similar to the opening scene of the series, in The Pilot, Part 1 where there is a close-up of Jack's eye and a shot from above of Jack lying on the jungle floor.
2. In the episode ?, Mr. Eko said to Locke, "We wait for further instructions."
3. There is an on-going theory that this episode is actually a flash forward, started by, I believe, Ralph of The Dharmalars. Although, I like this idea, and think it would make this episode somewhat redeemable because it sucks ass, but unfortunately, I don't think that is true. But if it is, in fact, true, that commune is very Dharma-like.
4. It's a little strange, Locke carrying so many guns. It's a bit out of the norm of the usual John Locke flashbacks that we're used to.
5. First episode where we're introduced to Nikki and Paulo.

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
2. "Hey, Jin, do you like The Kinks?" Charlie
3. "Oh, thank you very much, Jin. I do have a beautiful voice, don't I?" Charlie
4. "Uh, I'm lost. It was dark. I was following Sayid. Right afterwards a big bag of rocks fell on my head so I'm sorry if I'm a bit spotty with the geography." Charlie
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.
