Lost: The Next Day

[thebitterguy]

Two things: Cynra & I greatly adore our PVR. While the rerun of The 23rd Psalm was playing, we actually got to run back and forth through Ecko's confrontation with Lostzilla (such an inappropriate name, now) and watch the imagery appearing in the smoke. Neat stuff.

So. Last night, interesting things start to happen. The Lostaways finally confront The Others (or DO they?), and a line is literally drawn, which Jack appears more than willing to leap across.

Okay, as for the Others: At this point, we don't know for certain if the people who stole half of the Tailaways are the same people as took Walt. It's a logical assumption, but an assumption all the same.

There's also the ongoing question of how or if they are involved with the Dharma Foundation.

When Jack's posse heard the gunshots, I remarked to Cynra that it's entirely possible they could run into either Desmond or Crazy French Lady.

So, it appears the great battle between good and evil is about to begin. Or maybe that's just a backgammon game.

Ohhh. What if there are TWO factions of others, one evil, the other not so evil, one scruffy, the other clad in beige ("Everone in khaki!")?

When Jack approached Ana Lucia to ask her how long it would take her to train an army, all I could think about was Sayeed in the background going "helloooo! Army officer over here! Hallooooo!"

Mmmmmm..... sayeed.

Yes, yes, I know that is not what you were thinking when you mentioned him.

Because Sayeed would likely try to talk him out of it. Sayeed doesn't have a huge bone to pick with The Others. Ana Lucia on the other hand ...

That is a good point.

Does that mean Sayeed would need to be convinced of the threat they possess, or does Jack think AL's personal grudge with the Others is a better starting place? I figure if Jack/Kate/Locke were to all sell Sayeed about the encounter in the jungle he might understand the threat.

My wife thinks that it may be because Jack is naturally drawn to people who need help, which AL qualifies as.
