Paging Dr. Linus, Dr. Benjamin Linus

LOST RECAP #3
So what did we learn this week?

-Naomi had a bracelet that was given to her by R.G. or R.C.

-'Regina' from the boat - her voice sounds just like Naomi IMHO - maybe twin sister?

-We are reminded that the island still has a strange force about it. The rocket sent from the ship to the island as an experiment took about 30 minutes longer than it should have to get there, but according to the rocket's internal clock, it got there when it should have. The rocket's clock was about 30 minutes behind the real time.

-Sayid is one of the Oceanic 6 -- there are two left. He is a hitman working for none other than our good friend Ben Linus. It's all interconnected to the boat because the woman Sayid fell in love with, then killed, wore the same bracelet as Naomi -- they made sure to show us that. It seems Sayid is doing this for Ben in order to protect his friends - either the Oceanic 6 or whoever is still in hiding.

-Claire is still not sad about Charlie even though it happened about 10 minutes ago in Lost time -- they need to work on this.

-Sayid plays golf left handed and hits a nice ball.

-Locke is still crazy and the cabin with Jacob moved...ooh, how mysterious...

-Kate and Sawyer will be getting it on in Ben's bed next week

-Why didn't the survivors move to the barracks as soon as they knew that they were there? Water and showers and electricity and books and TOILETS and pinball machines...I still don't get this group of people. Sometimes I try not to think about it because its frustrating behavior on their part.

-Sayid is on the chopper on his way to the boat

I don't think we learned anything else of value this week. Sayid being part of the 6 and working for Ben was an awesome revelation. As I have stated before, this show is just great. So well done.

My people tell me we will probably see four more in a row which takes us to seven episodes. Then a 4 week break while they make 5-6 more this year, and they will kick off that run with already completed 8th episode. Good times.

What did you think? What did I miss?

One of the coolest observations in the episode:

Did you notice when the woman Sayid was sleeping with talks with her boss on the phone (right after she shoots Sayid) and she says "How come you paged me 30 minutes late?"

Coincidence we just found out the island time is 31 minutes and 20 seconds behind our time? Or is her boss ON THE ISLAND? Locke ? Jacob?
