Lost Watch

Episode 9 : Solitary

Right, apologies for the stupid long gap, I'll try and pick the pace back up. But anyway here we go.

This week we are all about Sayid and open on him sitting and feelin' blue on his walkabout. But pretty quikcly he finds a cable buried on the beach and it's not long before the crack former Republican Guard is hanging upside down in the jungle with a mysterious figure stalking him!

He wakes up in hut with a multilingual crazy purpose repeating asking "Wo ist Alex?" or "Where is Alex" for the less European inclined of you. He is also tied to an electrified bed, which is probably worth mentioning.

Flashin' back we see Sayid the loyal soldier and 'communications' officer beating the heck out of a poor dissident. Things get more complex when he is asked to interrogate a young woman, who in a 'it's a small, small world' moment turns out to have gone to school with him. And to have been a big 'ol bully, but only cos she liked him you see. It seems young Sayid has had his turned by the pretty girl.

Meanwhile Hurley is building a golf course and we discover it's Delenn who's got Sayid. By which I mean a crazy French lady who fires out plot points like a Gatling gun; the others, the Black Rock, the whispering jungle, an 'it' that killed them all. It seems science teams crack easily under pressure.

Back to Iraq and Sayid helps Nadia (his girl) escape, shooting his C.O. and himself in the process. What a guy! In the present he escapes his captor, CFL (crazy French lady), after she goes hunting after the terrible smoke monster apparently. She refuses to come back to camp with him, doesn't tell him who Alex is and fesses up to killing her husband and pretty much everyone else she arrived with.

Elsewhere Hurley's golf course is a great success even bringing Sawyer out to play with the rest of the gang and Walt looks pretty handy with a knife. Oh and on his way home. Sayid hears voices in the jungle, oohhh!

So this week no actually outright lying but a lot of half-truths and vague answers and a whole pile of questions thanks to CFL, hey we don't even find out where the other side of the cable goes!

Bit of a short one this week mainly cos I watched it a few days ago and I've got a whole bunch of other stuff to remember.
