c'mon, people. you know i speak in spoilers. at all times. do i come off like a know-it-all? read at your own risk.
A little theme that keeps resonating: old habits die hard. Sayid. The Torturer. That gave me chills. Mannn.
In the transport that dropped Sayid off: Did you notice Kate's step-dad? He had a picture of a young Kate.
As for that dude they found: DID YOU SEE THAT LAST LOOK HE GAVE SAYID?! he is one of the "Others." No doubt about it. Sayid tenderized him BUT GOOD and he didn't budge. Frenchy was right about him.
As for the clock running out and Locke punching the code real quick: RUBBISH! still, it was neat to see those weird symbols pop up. They look Egyptian. Curiouser and curiouser. I've said this a million times: they will TRULY let the clock run out in the LAST episode of this season. THAT will be the cliffhanger. My words. Mark 'em.
The Claire flashback to the days she lost are finally surfacing. I knew they'd do that. Can't wait.
possible meaning derived from the symbols.

well another theme we were discussing was the father thing. everybody has ajor issues with their dad. locke, sawyer, kate, jack, (charlie and hurley apparently dont have one) but this episode gave insight into sayid's past and he has daddy issues too. the interrogator guy says about his dad was a proud war hero who sayid wouldn't dissapoint. more daddy problems in the mind.
yeah, this is something i've noticed too. one of the episodes was even called "all the best cowboys have daddy issues." that's definitely a strong theme.
