Lost #3.11: Enter 77
After two seemingly mundane episodes (Tattoo and Van), this one was much more exciting.
Kate and Locke and Sayid and Rousseau have gone after Jack, and happen upon a farm. Guy With Eyepatch And A Cat lives there. He tells them how he got there and that he’s part of Dharma! Not too often a new character shows up, and tells his whole story right up front! So naturally of course, he’s lying. Sayid, naturally of course, realizes this! Nothing gets by Sayid. As I said before, I see him as Information Guy. Anyway Guy With Eyepatch And A Cat seems to be The Others’ version of Sayid, a military communications guy.
From what I think I understand, the farm was like the communications hub between all The Hatches. There is a computer chess game there, that when you beat it, you get instructions from Mr. Dharma Scientist. Locke eventually beats it, and follows the instructions about what to do if The Hostiles invade (enter 77). He enters 77, and then a few minutes later, the farm blows up. Sayid though has a map to Suburbia. He keeps Guy With Eyepatch And A Cat alive. (I should look up his name, I missed it.)
I’m still not entirely clear now the difference (if any) between The Others/Ben’s group, The Hostiles, and The Dharma People.
Flashback was to Sayid being captured and tortured by the husband of a woman he had captured and tortured when in the army. He learns his lesson of forgiveness, which is probably why he keeps Guy With Eyepatch And A Cat alive.
Oh, also Sawyer and Hurley play ping-pong.
