That brief dont-bother-playing exchange felt all secret agent password-y to me. He knew what he was doing blowing up The Flame, and he thought Sayid doesn't know about the trapdoor under the carpet (every nook and cranny, eh?). Was The Flame being invaded by Hostile when he entered 77? To Locke it was, and so he did.

I agree that this is about redemption but the story about the cat said it all. The woman needed a symbolic torturer to be able to forgive and move on with her life just as Sayid came to realise that he needed a symbolic victim to atone from what he did. Sayid did say "I remember the face of everyone I tortured and don't remember you" and I guess the woman would have been much more ambivalent to release Sayid if he had really been her torturer. It would also explain how Sayid had been able to live with himself in spite of his past, since he seems to have somewhat of a sensitive nature underneath (you have to be to fall in love with that Shannon). I tend to agree with Ayama that this is very weird that Sayid doesn't speak a little bit of French. But my feelings is that he understands Russian which would explain why the eye-patch man is still alive and why he did nothing while the two others were speaking in Russian.

Kudos to the writers! But did anything we learn shoot-down the Time-Loop theory proposed in Desmond's Flashback story with Penny? I'm beginning to believe the whole Lost story that we're watching is the "Final Loop," where everyone "finally gets it right" this time, so the Universe can be saved. The time-loop hypothesis answers almost all of the puzzling questions, the puzzling behavior, why the Hostiles know so much about the Losties, just basically the whole puzzle. Sure, there probably was a war between the Dharmanites and the Hostiles, but just maybe the outcome of that war is what the Universe is trying to do over.

No need to be all hatin' Locke. He cracked the chess code and got another tidbit of intel about the hostiles/DHARMAs conflict. In so doing, he independently verified the intel that Sayid got by questioning Mikhail. I think he knew, in his special faith-based way, that the chess game had to be cracked. Also, from a plot perspective, thank goodness that treasure trove of info was blown up! It's more compelling and interesting to get the pieces one or two at a time. We can then examine each carefully, turning them over and over, before putting them into place. Having said that, I was really hoping for another orientation film!! Great episode.

After Locke beats the computer at chess and the guy in the white coat shows up, did anyone else notice that his right hand is semi-clenched in a fist and his left hand is open and facing toward him. Almost like he had something written on that hand and was reading from it. It also looked like maybe it was a fake hand. Anybody else notice that?

Simply amazing. I was a t the edge of my couch almost the entire time, and could not shut my jaws close. Here are the issues that I cannot stop thinking about: Was Mikhail saying the truth? can we trust/believe anything at all from what he said? Shouldn't Locke be the next one to die? He's become really stupid and annoying with all the mistakes he keeps making. C'mon, the real Locke we came to know in Season 1 would have NEVER blown the Flame Station. So, after wefind out how/why he ended up in a wheelchair before the crash, he should just die. Why should we assume that the Others and the Hostiles are the same group? The first time we heard the term "hostiles" was from Desmond at some point in season two. Personally, I think they are two differnt groups. Or at least, the Dharma Initiative people and the Hostiles have to be two different groups. I did not buy the whole ping-pong table thing. But i let it go. If food gets dropped from the sky in mysterious ways, why not a ping-pong table.

I am beginning to wonder if he is not in league with another group, perhaps sub-consciously, and has been planted on the island to destroy what is left of Dharma and/or the Others or Hostiles. I mean, come on. Who leaves a potentially dangerous enemy unguarded while your comrades go searching for another enemy who is lurking around the compound?! I too thought it strange that Patchy didn't chase Locke away from the computer room...a set up? I am probably imagining things, but the first thing I said when we saw Patchy in this episode was, "wasn't his eye patch on the other eye when they saw him in the Pearl Station?" I also think that Sayid did torture that woman and was not releasing all his info. He is tough and can take a lot before being forced to reveal all.

Yes there is a lot going on. I just want to point out some key observations about Rousseau. She was part of a group that landed on the island. She was the only one that survived, and the Others "took her baby." She captured Sayid and knows of the picture of Nadia. She captured Ben, the father or the adopted father of her child, in a net for Sayid. She is never around to do the dirty work. She knows when to pop up at the right time. She was ready to kill Mikhail before getting any answers from him. Most importantly, she rudely interupted Mikhail right when he was going to give up some important information about the Hostiles. From the way she looked in last night's episode, I would say she is an Other and is probably faking the French accent. I completely loved this episode. Yes there is a lot going on.

I think that the show has at least implied that Sayid was a torturer with the Republican Guard for a year or two, so there's lots of people out there that he might have tortured who we haven't seen yet. And the flashback was about redemption ... she forgave him for what he's done, and he learns to see her as a human being.

I believe Rousseau is "marked" just like Juliet and she has not been totally honest. She's a player. The Flame Station certainly lived up to it's name. A submarine, yes!!! Loved, "who the hell are you?" that Sawyer snapped to Paolo. OK, writers -- get on with it, we know Sayid was a bad dude with the Replublican Guard and is very very remorseful. But I don't think he tortured THAT particular woman. His confession was sincere covering all that he DID DO and saved his life. Rousseau and Mikhai definately know each other!

She definitely is not the woman from Season 1 Episode 9 "Solitary" that was Nadia AKA Noor Abed-Jazeem and he never tortured her. Unless I've totally missed a Sayid flash back there hasn't been any other reference to female torture by Sayid. Which raises the question why Sayid would tell her that her face has haunted him all these years. I also have to question why Sayid, the seasoned soldier and confessed torturer, would have to be told by Locke, of all people, to not let Mikhail & Ms. Klugh speak to each other. Sayid looked dazed and confused at that very moment not at all the calm and collective person we saw while HE was being interrogated... totally out of character if you ask me. Over all I liked the episode but then again I pretty much like all of them but I don't think it was as meaty as the rest of you seem to think it was.

One of the best of the season if not so far. There was a little something for everyone. Ryan, I also appreciate your breakdown of the Others-DHARMA dynamic; as you can see from my prior musings (unbeliveably all from the same episode) I had several theories on this, most of which were sadly incorrect. ;) http://www.hawaiiup.com/lost/2006/05/24/live-together-die-alone/#comment-2468 http://www.hawaiiup.com/lost/2006/05/24/live-together-die-alone/#comment-2560 http://www.hawaiiup.com/lost/2006/05/24/live-together-die-alone/#comment-2798 If Mikhail was telling the truth, though, and has only been on the island for 11 years, and Ben was born there, and Danielle has been there 16 years, how is Mikhail part of the Others? Any chance that he was tortured/converted to the Others? Does that explain his haggard appearance and the terse Russian exchange with Ms Klugh? Is Sayid on to something about him... perhaps that he can't be broken and won't overthrow his captors... or is he -- like Henry Gale/Ben and unlike the Other others -- a master of deception and not revealing any privileged information? A few other scattered thoughts: - Nikki and Paolo were actually not a negative in this episode. I love Sawyer's embodiment of the everyfan with his "who the hell are you" attitude. - Maybe Kelvin was painting the map of the DHARMA stations because all of the official handbooks were in the Flame and he was prohibited from going there. - SO GOOD to have Sayid back. We (or the writers) forget what a bad-ass and compelling character he is. From the time he got jiggy with Shannon until just a few episodes were left in last season, the funk of his depression and relative prominence of the other characters really robbed us of juicy Sayid bits. I also loved his story arc... I think he did remember this woman and torturing her, but knew that her husband would kill him if he revealed this and sought to hold back that information as long as possible.

What an episode! I hope the whiners among us (and within us) are feeling kinda sheepish after this classic, killer Lost chapter! A great principal narrative, an effective flashback, and great comic relief to let some steam out of the valve when needed. I am surprised, Ryan, that you are taking Mikhail's "Story of the Island" at face value. He is a liar! They are all liars! (Sounds like the Libby trial...) After all this time, the watchword should be TRUST NO ONE! (A little X-Files nostalgia...) This includes Danielle, who should definitely not be treated as an ally. I never thought I'd say this, especially after his noble personal odyssey circa Season One, but LOCKE IS AN IDIOT! How in the world could he even seat himself at a computer terminal after the catastrophe of The Purple Sky? And have a s***-eating grin on his face besides? Now he's blown up not only a possible communications center, but a really cool set besides! (And steak dinners for all!) I've never been more eager to see the rest of the season. One more thing: I have a feeling we have not seen the last of that pussycat! Kudos to all involved: writers, actors, director, crew -- Bravo! Holy Smoke Monster! What an episode!

He didn't see her come up behind him, but he KNEW HER VOICE. So this points to a couple of questions.. 1.) Do Rousseau and Mikhail know each other? 2.) If so, how do they know each other? Was he one of the Others in which her group was fighting to begin with? 3.) Does this give more fuel to the fire that Rousseau is indeed a very, very important character who's true purpose has yet to be revealed?

Most intriguing character above all... I love the allusions to Nadia in this episode (burnt arms... the cat). Although, I'm left wondering: Did Sayid really torture her? Or did he lie to simply get out the situation? His break down crying lead me to believe the former, what do you guys think? He's always seemed to be very religious and honest about his part in the Republican Gaurd before...why deny that he had harmed this particular woman? He admitted to harming others as an "interrogator". I couldn't help but affirm Sayid's bad-arseness. A man of detail, for certain. The only other guy I've seen pull off strategy-savvy moves like that is Bond! (Oh, duh John, the cranny you missed is RIGHT HERE I DONT EVEN HAVE TO CHECK UNDER THE RUG FIRST!) I reckon those that believe Jacob is the eyepatch man got a stronger backing of their case: He could watch everything going on in the stations...he saw Hurley, Sawyer, Kate, and Jack (who all experienced many compelling moments in the hatch). People on his list? What an incredible episode…as always, the Sayid episodes continue to make me LOVE this show. Most intriguing character above all…

I must agree with everyone. This episode was very well written. I'm such a fan of Sayid's, but I must admit that I'm not very partial towards his flashbacks. However, his last flashback sequence (his conversation with Amira) was heartbreaking. There was so much information loaded in this one, I literally had to sit and think about what I just saw after the episode ended. Wow. I must agree with everyone. This episode was very well written.
