This week I decided was the week to have a love/hate relationship for Ben. First you hate older Ben, and then you feel really sorry for younger Ben....but then again at times young Ben got a little creepy.
This episode was a bit more old school as some people might say...with more traditional flashbacks to flesh out what happend to Sayid when he was working for Ben and afterwards.
At first I liked this episode, but after a few days I have found its just an ok episode....with a hell of an ending. I never thought that we would see anyone try and kill young Ben...even if he does turn into an evil dude eventually.
There were a few good moments....Hurley working in the kitchen.
Seeing Sayid caring for Ben when his father is being abusive to him.....that didnt last long.
Burning Dharma Van! thats all i can say.
Another good moment was when Oldham tying Sayid to a tree, and giving him a hallucinagen, to get him to tell the truth. He does, and no one believes him, which hey its time travel, I probably wouldnt believe that.
And of course the End of the episode, when it looks like Sayid and Ben are going to make their escape from the Dharma, Sayid all of a sudden decides to kill young Ben...because as the older Ben had told him...he was a killer.
Sayid has always been a favorite character of mine, with many dementions, but this episode he seemed very one dementional at points.
This episode just seemed lax...and didnt really blow our mind untill the end. It seems that was all this episode was working up to, and it didnt do a great job with it.
As with all Lost episodes, it is almost always better then other episodes of other shows, I just believe that the writers fell short of their goal in this episode, but the actors did a good job with what they had.
Especially loved Naveen Andrews performance while he was under the halucinigens.
Untill next week all.
