The Economist (S4:E3)

So...I'm at the NEBY Fest in Stamford, CT. Decided to skip out on some sleep to get this out earlier than mid-next week, and enjoy the Music and Festivities this weekend. This will be a short version. I may update at some point if I can get some time.

Let's...some questions answered...even more arose. Sayid gave us a surprise in the beginning and the end of this episode. Ben became even more sinister. I was really hoping Sayid would have reconnected with Nadia, or at least she would have been in the background or something. But, great episode nonetheless

1) Why was Sayid crying in the end? Was it the pain from the bullet? Was it the fact that he killed a woman that he fell for? My guess is that he's thinking just like Jack and Hurley have shown in their flash-forwards...that he must go back to the island. My prediction is that we'll have a Kate flash-forward sometime soon, and at some point we will either overtly or covertly see Kate's desire to go back to the island. I'm also guessing this season will end with the Oceanic 6 getting back to the island. Another theory I've seen out there is that it was because Elsa resembled Shannon, and that they both died from gunshot wounds to the mid-section.

2) From Sayid's own mouth: "...the day I start trusting him is the day I will disown my soul." The "him" he was referring to was Ben. Looks like Sayid ended up disowning his soul.

3) Best Line of the show, "Great, the ship sent us another Sawyer." This is what he said after Miles called him "Tubby"

4) A New Zealander posting on the message boards claims that the New Zealand passport that was seen in the drawer that Sayid opened was a diplomatic red-colored passport. Not the regular white-colored one.

5) Looks like Jacob doesn't like being told where to be. I'm guessing Jacob can only be seen when he wants to be. Locke was frustrated that he didn't find Jacob. However, he also played it off half-decently to the group, when they were about to ask him "What the F...?"

6) Elsa had a pager. Her boss, "The Economist" likes pagers. Doctors still use pagers. Could her boss be Christian Sheppard? However, with Naomi's and Elsa's matching bracelets leads many to think that they both worked for Matthew Abbadon.

7) Daniel's little experiment puts the theory of a bend in the time continuum on the island some merit. It was about 31 minutes and some change. Did anyone notice that Elsa said "You were supposed to call me at 10:30"? Upon some translation by a German, they left out the subtitle for the rest of what she said. She actually said, "You were supposed to call me at 10:30, not 10:00". Off by ~30 minutes...

8) There's a VERY LOOSE theory making circles that the voice you first hear when Sayid is getting the gunshot wound looked at was none other than Christian Sheppard's voice. The theory is that people are saying that Ben and Christian are the same person.

9) Is Charlotte actually Ben's "man" on the boat? He knew a lot about her, and he knew enought to know he could shoot her and she'd have a bullet-proof vest on.
