ohmygod... Michael is the man that Ben has on the freighter! At least that's what everyone's being made to believe. That little almost-reveal of Michael at the end of this episode was wild, especially coupled with Sayid's look.
Desmond Hume has always been one of my favorite characters on Lost. While he's the man who's had all these unimaginable supernatural things happen to him, he's also the one most grounded in reality. He can see the future, but longs for the past; longs to make amends to the one person he cares so much about.
And as I think about it, in all of Desmond's flashbacks, there has been one thing in common. One "constant."
Sayid is the clever one. Trading Miles for Charlotte.
But of course the most interesting part of this episode was Sayid's flashforward with him working for

Ben!
Sayid as a hired assassin working for the man he said he would never want to work with. At least we know he's one of the Oceanic 6. (Is Juliet, along with Ben, off of the island, too? Possibly working for Ben?)
What I found most interesting, though, is that Sayid is supposedly killing people on a list.
1. Hurleysodes (What I'll now refer to any episode with a Hurely Flashback or Flashforward) are usually fun episodes. This one was just depressing.
2. Charlie is in fact dead. But in the typical Lost fashion. I heard that Boone will be back (depending on the strike).
3. Oceanic 6 - the six people who made it off the island. Jack, Hurley, Kate (and we find out) Sayid. After the Kate episode, we know Aaron made it out (if it's the same Aaron) but he's not counted since he wasn't on the manifest.
This weekend I'll post my Lost thoughts. And I do believe that this season is a lot better than I thought it would be.
Battlestar Galactica returns April 4 to SciFi (if I read things right.)
I haven't heard any word if 24 will return this fall or in January of 2009.
I'll also post my thoughts on Sarah Connor Chronicles. For an action show, they sure spend a lot of time just standing around talking. Which may explain the less than stellar ratings and why it may not come back this Spring.
It's January and the holiday TV repeats are over... mostly. The writer's strike is still on, and that means many of the shows that began in the fall wont be back on for a while, save a few new episodes here and there. (Except for soap operas and animated shows.)
