Episode Title: "Namaste"

Synopsis: When old friends drop in unannounced, Sawyer must perpetuate his lie to protect them.

Guest Stars: Reiko Aylesworth, Jeff Fahey, Patrick Fischler, Dan Gauthier, Zuleikha Robinson, Sad Taghmaoui, John Terry

Discuss.

Also guest starring Sterling Beaumon. Which I find to be the most interesting cast credit.

Young Ben will be seen for the next four episodes. Apparently, some pretty big stuff will be happening with him.

Yes, I am very excited about this. I am hoping we get A LOT of information out of that.

Ethan!

WOW

this show rocks!

"Uh, what?" LMAO. I was waiting for that one. Hurley had some great one-liners.

Great episode. As usual.

I wonder what happened to Daniel.

Patrick Fischler sure looked suspicious of Kate and Jack. Something's going to come from that eventually. And I bet that's when he stops being on the show.

Excellent, excellent episode. Much to absorb...

The Ethan reveal was very cool.

What happened to Farraday?

When Sun, Frank and Ben were heading to the boat I was thinking "Wait - I thought he was in the makeshift infirmary." LOL - guess that explains that.

The Sun/Frank/Christian scene was very interesting mostly because I thought Christian couldn't really touch anything (like when he couldn't help Locke stand up) and yet he was able to pick up the picture.

The showdown between Jack and Sawyer was fantastic and I love how Sawyer put him in his place.

The end, with Sayid and young Ben - awesome. Judging by the preview for next week, it looks like Sayid's newfound mission is to kill young Ben.

It will be interesting to see what happens next week. I thought this would be the beginning of them coming together and it looks like they are all going after each other...

As a side note, most of the people in the Dharma initiative seem very, very twitchy. Phil and Radinsky (or whatever) seemed borderline crazy/evil.

Tonight's episode pretty much turned inside-out all of the existing relationships of the characters and I loved it. Almost no show can hit the reset button like LOST can, let alone make it seem fresh and simultaneously continuous and connected to past episodes. The writers deserve all the credit we can bestow on them. The back half of the season is shaping up to be phenomenal.

Grade: A

Another A/A- episode.

The Ethan reveal was cool. Except a board I go on was arguing if it would be Ethan or Goodwin, so I wasn't that surprised since they had figured it out.

But just how cool were the parallels in the Ben-Sayid Scene. It was an awesome throw back to season 2 when Ben was locked up and Sayid was asking Ben if he were a hostile.

Kate and Juliet look fantastic in darhma jumpsuits.

Sun is a badass!

If Christian can take Sun to 1977, why can't Christian take Sawyer and friends forward through time?

Yup, great stuff. Loved Sun wacking Ben and saying "I lied". It'll be interesting to see what the explanation is as to why Sun and Ben didn't time travel like the rest of them.

I FREAKING LOVE Sawyer in this leadership role. Josh Holloway is rocking it. I hope he gets an Emmy nom this year.

Does anyone else find it ridiculous that all the actors in the love "square" have such great chemistry? Holloway/Lilly, Fox/Lilly, Holloway/Mitchell, Fox/Mitchell...every single pairing works. It's kinda ridiculous.

I gotta say, this episode rocked. And from a purely entertainment stand point, it might be my favorite episode from the series.

Yes! We were just talking about this while watching! Even Mitchell/Lilly wouldn't be too shabby.

Phenomenal cast!

Seriously, Mitchell and Kim need to get nominated for supporting actress this year.

Excellent episode, love the ethan and young ben reveals. I absolutely loved the talk between saywer and jack, "i think jack" priceless. Sun should have hit ben more than once, and that scene with jack's father with the door opening and everything was so creepy. Also, i agree this cast is so good, i mean every cast member is deserving of more praise that the get and hopefully some emmy love for more of them.

I was thinking should Josh go lead and Fox supporting this year?

Yeah, Holloway has been front and center this year. If I had to guess, he probably has the most screentime out of all the guys.

This was a really fun episode!

Josh Holloway was great in this. Wow, I loved that scene between Sawyer and Jack. Freaking awesome!

I also loved when Ben was babbling on about... something, and Sun just whacked him from behind. Although, I am kind of sorry that Ben wasn't there for the whole creepy Christian encounter. Why is New Otherton/DHARMA Barracks all run down now? Where are the Others in 2007-8?

Oh, and I loved seeing Lapidus actually land the plane on the Island. On the runway the Others were working on in Season 3. LOL. Loved the co-pilot commenting on Hurley being on the plane. Aw, I'll just admit to loving Lapidus. He is awesome!

Also, like Hodag129, I loved the parallel of young Ben asking a locked up Sayid if he was a Hostile. Wow, I think after the next few episodes I might go back to the Season 2 DVDs and watch those scenes between Sayid and Ben in the Swan Hatch again. How wild will those scenes look now?!!

So, where's Faraday? What does Sawyer mean- he's "not there anymore"? Its an Island. Where could he go? He wouldn't have left the Island, would he? Whoa. That would be weird. Did he join/infiltrate the Hostiles? Is he hanging out with Rousseau in the jungle? LOL. Come on! I want to know what happened to him.

Promos were pretty intense. Clearly Sayid either hasn't gotten the "Whatever happened, happened" speech, or he doesn't believe it. I am hoping we will find out what happened to Sayid in the three years off the Island that has made him so angry.

Excellent episode!

I hate having to work till 11 p.m.

Thank God i got dvr.

AWESOMENESS!!!! A+ One of the most fun episodes of the season.

I too was sort of sad Ben wasn't with Sun to meet Christian. But I guess it's ok cause he has to stay on that island to have his encounter with the recently alive John Locke!

And I think Otherton/Barracks are worn down because they arrived in time after the others left and made camp elsewhere. (Which they did towards the end of season 3... I think it was 3...)

Did anyone notice this the first time around?

CREEPY!

Oh, and I also loved when Lapidus was saying to Sun and Ben that his freighter crew had a whole team of commandos whose only mission was to capture Ben. And Ben responds with something like "How did that work out for you?" LOL.

Can't wait until Ben wakes up and actually talks to Locke.
