The Big Hit

Helloooooooo LOSTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's hit it hard and hit it fast. This is going to be one of those LOST updates that you'll tell your kids about.....mostly you'll say that you once knew this guy who was so obsessed with a show that he would write about it.....Ad nauseum...to anyone who would listen and had a decent internet connection...
Tonight's episode once again confirmed that we AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET.....I'm going to start at the end.....WTF?!?!? Sayid is a hired gun for Ben?????? Holy Smokes!!!
"Are you crying because you got shot or because you were stupid enough to care for her?"..man, Ben is SO cold....and apparently now a veternarian.....Off the island, in fact...Folks, I can't begin to tell you what a mind bender this show is turning into....
There were 2 great lines of the night: The first was very telling and that was when Sayid said, about Ben, "The day I trust him, I will have sold my soul to the devil".....well I guess he sold his soul....But was it to the devil??
Let's deconstruct the last exchange between Ben and Sayid.
Ben: Those people don't deserve our sympathies(Who are those?) Need I remind you what they did the last time you thought with your heart and not your gun?(Will this be on the island, or on the freighter? Or back in the real world? Will it have anything to do with Sayid's long lost love, Nadia?....ahh...which leads to this from Sayid:
Sayid: You used that into recruiting me to kill for you.(Did Ben promise something to Sayid in exchange for Nadia's well being???...He doesn't seem like the kind of guy to do anything for himself...except maybe fall in love with women all over the place..Shannon, this Elsa chick....Naomi..but I'll get to that in a minute)
Ben: You want to protect your friends or not, Sayid?(Is Ben referring to the other Oceanic 6 or the people left behind on the island? Or some other friends? Maybe some poker buddies??)

Whatever happens here, let's remember one thing: Ben is still alive and kicking and causing some real disturbances....And apparently he can come and go off the island like it ain't no thing...
We saw in his secret room that he has a ton of money, a ton of passports and a ton of fresh threads...very interesting...

Let me get back to my Sayid in love with Naomi bit....He looked at her bracelet when she was dead. It had an inscription: N-I will be with you always. R.G.
Now I don't know who R.G. is and right now I really don't care. My point was that Sayid looked sad when he saw the bracelet...Something was triggered...It wasn't until he shot Elsa at the end that it dawned on me. He saw a kindred spirit in Naomi...a hired killer...We all know Naomi was the military brains behind the freighter people...Sayid was the military brains to the 815ers...And Elsa was also a hired gun...and she had a bracelet as well!! Sayid's hand lingered on it after he shot her....Were Naomi and Elsa working for the same dude???
Methinks so.....and I'll leave it at that...

The second memorable line of the night was the funniest of LOST so far this season...and it comes compliments of Hurley:
"I saw that breakdancing thing you did with your legs when you snapped that dudes neck at the beach. I'll hang back here."
HAHAHHAHAHH....that was pretty funny.....

Another interesting factoid popped up tonight in the form of Daniel's "experiment". Apparently time off the island is 31 MINUTES faster than time on the island....or was it slower?? I've never been good at math, which is why I now have a job using math 95% of the time....relax, bosses!! The computer is a big help....Hahaha...I kid...Seriously, it's PHYSICS I've never been good at...hell, half the time when I spell it, I spell it PSYCHICS and that's just a whole nother ball of wax...or yarn...
Either way, there's some freaky time variations on the island and that was enough to cause Daniel to warn Frank the Pilot to not deviate off the bearing they came in on...DO NOT, under any circumstances....what do you think would happen???
I'll tell you what I think...I think its a worm hole situation.....yep, you heard me..a worm hole....through time...Like Back to the Future, except without the fancy flying car....This is your Doc Brown, El Prez, telling you that somehow, time travel will play a part in this show....If they deviate of the heading, will they catch up to the future? Will they age instantly? Is that why we've seen a taller Walt???? Something is happening here folks and this show just continues to push all the MYSTERY buttons it can, every 108 minutes!!! My mind is blown!!!

I have to stop here...my head continues to spin and it's going to cause me to get dizzy and lose my lunch.....I will leave with a little factoid from the "Enhanced" episode of the show that aired before tonights new one..you know, the episodes with the pop up facts?
Well they spoke about the Christiane 1, the boat that found Oceanic Flight 815 off the Sunda Barrier or whatever? Well it turns out that boat was searching for old trade boats.....Old trade boats like the Black Rock.....Folks, there's a lot of people looking for this island and I think before it's all said and done, you are going to find that there are 2 factions fighting over this place, one for good and one for evil and our LOSTIES are caught in the middle.....which side will you be on??
I'm out....

Thought I would add something about physics - this would fall under special relativity as a time dilation. Which is basically where one person notices that another's clock which is identical to their's is moving slower than their own. This would mean time has "slowed down" for the other clock, but is only true in the context of the frame of reference. Time being a constant and always passing at the same rate. The time dilation phenomenon applies to any process that manifests change over time.
So basically time is only slower or faster from the persons perspective.
The equasion of the time dialation would best be shown by the Lorentz transformation which is much more complex to explain.
So all this being said the 31 minutes is a time gap between the island and rest of the world but which one is the real time and more importantly why wouldn't their communications between those on the island and the ship also be out of sync...

I thought you debunked the worm hole theory before? I know we had mentioned it at one point and it's still on my mind as well...something about the writer's saying it wasn't? I might be remembering it wrong though...

Another theory is that Sayid and Ben worked together before, Sayid as a hired killer, and Ben at what ever it is that he does. That is why the original pilot (the one that wasn't on the flight but is on the island now with the new people) didn't know who he was, didn't he review all the passengers?? And the comment Sayid made to Ben about selling his soul to the devil before working with Ben could have been an inside joke of sorts... that may be stretching but there it is...
