Sayid's love affair with his flat iron is my favorite of his canon romances.
All I could think reading this is bless you for having the stamina to travel back in time and watch it all again. TBH it sounds just as ridiculous to me as I thought it was at the time - not that S4 didn't have its occasional good moments. It's just kind of a shame that for me most of them involved Sayid's hair. ;)
My plan was to rewatch season 5 this weekend too, but I need a break after all that. A lot of it is quite silly or pointless, even though it gives the appearance of hanging together a bit better in retrospect. In a way I think they make it so the only things we can care about and enjoy are things like hair and the color of the ocean.
Whoa, that's a lot of re-watching you've been doing! *wants two weeks with no family and no work in order to watch S4 and S5*
Is that why Jacob went back *blink blink* .... .... .... You know, I never considered that - that Jacob had traveled back in time. Being very much a wysiwyg kind of person, I had read those scenes as straight flashback, and that they were, from the Jacob-touching point in each of their lives, destined to go to the Island (yeesh, I sound like Locke) because he had chosen them.
Oh yeah, and they implied Widmore can't die off the island.Bzuh? Am not remembering this. At all. Did I completely misunderstand something
( ... )
You make a good point about Jacob, too. I had assumed he time-traveled but maybe not. Maybe he did know, somehow, and was there at the time.
There was one line when Ben went to see Widmore to tell him that he was going to kill Penny that implied it would do no good for Ben to try to kill Widmore. It was pretty insiginificant, except having just seen the episode with Michael where they say explicitly that he can't die off the island, it caught my attention. I wonder if they've dropped this now or if it's still in play somewhere.
No clue why Horace was looping. And he knows he's dead. It kinda makes no sense...surprise surprise, just like everything else. :)
