2. Gotta give the casting department some sort of award for the casting of young Ben. That kid is creepy as hell, and it's not that he's trying to be creepy. It's the close up camera angles and hoody that do it for me.
3. They didn't show us that book for nothing. What I get from it is Faraday says you can't change the past. So if Sayid shot Ben, it shouldn't effect grown up Ben because he's in "A Separate Reality" in future times.
4. As for the love "square" that is Jack/Kate/Juliet/Sawyer, I actually kinda felt bad for Juliet. She appears to have found happiness and you can tell she doesn't want to lose it.
5. I'd love to see the smoke monster ravage Radzinsky in a wide open stretch of land. That guy is a certifiable douche bag.
6. Not important, but didn't it appear that Sawyer tazed Sayid in the balls?
7. Oldham's a strage cat. At least he used humane ways of getting answers....compared to Sayid.
8. I find it funny that Sayid told Horace and crew exactly what they wanted to know, but they blew it off.....acid "is a hellofva drug."
9. That was very ballsy of the writers/producers having a character shoot a child in cold blood during primetime TV. What was PC even 10 years ago, is not the same now. Anywho, it was the payoff for the chicken scene being included. Sayid is a stone cold killer and he did what he had to do with both Ben and the chicken.
10. Last but not least. Radzinsky.....did I metion he is a d-bag?....threatened to call Ann Arbor if the rest of the group didn't agree with him. Ann Arbor is home to the DeGroots, the two University of Michigan students who created the Dharma Initiative. One has to wonder if we'll see them in the flesh sometime or another.

I think it's more likely that Ben will recover from his wound and the shooting will somehow make him more Ben-like, therefore blowing everyone's mind with how shitty it is that Sayid caused him to be a creepy freak.
