S5 Ep9 "Namaste"

A few questions answered and a few more cropping up.

Why wasn't Sun taken in the flash? How did Ilana know that the pilot and Sun took a boat to the big island--they seemed to be alone when it happened, although I suppose they found Ben and he told them what happened. He managed to add the lie about the passenger manifest before he passed out and was taken to the "hospital."


Loved LaFleur's smackdown of Jack, didn't love the lingering glance between him and Kate. Glad they addressed the fact that the people you're living with are mostly gonna be dead, and what are you gonna do about it?

A good cop knows the troublemakers on his beat before long, and I have to believe that Jim's come across Roger Linus, the loudmouth drunk janitor, before. Jim may not have actually chatted with his lonely son, but he must be aware he's there. I can imagine Sayid whispering to him next visit, "Ben Linus came by to give me a sandwich, he's thirteen and already precociously creepy! Can we kill him now, huh, can we?".

Then LaFleur can shake his head slowly and say "Well, it's complicated."

Time for some shut-eye.

  1. Well you're obviously not going to make it, but it was an amazing attempt. I can only imagine how much it will drive you crazy to be watching the latter episodes of s6 knowing that you could just cut to the finale and get final answers.

    But hey, your situation will be a lot better than what the rest of us had to endure repeatedly, i.e. you get to keep watching new episodes straight on till the end.

    This whole thing is a fantastic and totally worthwhile undertaking on your part, even though you won't catch up in time. I, for one, consider what you are doing to be a victory nevertheless, because you may be the first first-time viewer to watch the entire show with no unnecessary interruptions.

    Seriously, that's nothing to sneeze at. <o
