Set the Machine for 2.342 and to Oscillate at 11 Megahertz

LOST Review, The Constant:

Awesome! That's what the geek in me is saying today after that episode last night. We got time traveling, Megahertz, nerds, Daniel is such a geek, we got a rat maze, all the bells and whistles of a mad scientists laboratory. This episode had me on the edge of my seat.
It starts off with Frank, Desmond and Sayid in the helicopter, heading on the co-ordinates specified by Daniel. They go right through a storm and Desmond wigs out. He doesn't know where he is, he doesn't know Frank and Sayid, oh and just a minute ago he was in 1996 during his army days. The whole episode he's going back in forth in time. Edge of you seat action baby!
Sayid right away gets in touch with Jack on the island and tells him about Desmond. Daniel talks to Desmond and tells Desmond he needs to find him in Oxford, when he slips back in time again. Desmond finds Daniel, who is a real dork professor, and Daniel tells Desmond he needs to find a Constant in both time periods to get himself unstuck. Penny!
Desmond makes a stop at an auction when he's in 1996 to ask Penny's father, Mr. Widmore, Penny's address and get this. They are auctioning off The Black Rocks ship log. Owned by Somebody Hanso. I definitely have to watch this episode again for more details. The numbers were showing up everywhere in this episode too.
We get to see George Minkowski, the guy the "Helicopter 4" kept trying to reach. He's experiencing the same "side effects" that Desmond is having. Minkowski takes Sayid and Desmond to the radio room, they got out of the room they were locked in because someone left it open. Minkowski says, looks like you have a friend on this ship. So naturally I thought Frank, but going through the message boards today I'm thinking it's "Ben's man on the boat". Who, I agree with the boards, could be Michael. It's no secret he's coming back to the show, his name is in the beginning credits of every episode this season.
Desmond finds Penny in 1996 and she's pissed, want nothing to do with him, but gives him her number so he'll go away. He says he won't call her until Dec. 24th 2004, eight years. Sayid aka Mr. Gadget starts to rig up a phone connection for Desmond. Minkowski dies from going back and forth in time too much and blood starts to tickle out of Desmonds nose. Dear God hurry up Sayid! The connection is made, Penny answers, they love each other, Desmond is unstuck.
Like I said, Awesome!

Ben Our Man of Mystery

LOST Review:
Hey Sayid is golfing! And he's not on craphole island, he's at an exclusive club. A man tools up to him in a golf cart and places a friendly wager with him. Sayid tells the man that he's one of the Oceanic Six. This news makes the golf cart, wagering man very nervous. And it should because Sayid pops a cap in his ass. Sayid is then in Germany and meets a woman, falls in love but has to kill her too. This is after she shoots him. He notices her bracelet, it's the same one that he notices on dead Naomi.

Back on the island, after taking note of the bracelet, Sayid asks Frank to take him off the island. Sayid says he can bring Charlotte back safe and Frank says if you bring Charlotte back safe, I'll fly you off the island. Sayid, Kate and the Ghostbuster Miles leave to find Locke and his band of misfits. When they get to Othersville it looks deserted. They hear a noise and find Hurley locked in a closet. Hurley lures them to Ben's old house, uh huh, lures them. While searching the house Sayid finds a secret room where Ben has currency from different countries and several different passports. I know I've asked this before but who the hell is this guy?
Locke and his crew ambush Sayid, Kate and Ghostbuster Miles. Sawyer has Kate in a bedroom and tries to talk her into staying in Othersville with him, because he says neither of them have anything to go back to. Sayid is held prisoner with Ben. Locke brings lemonade for Sayid and they discuss why the new people have come to the island, both agreeing that they are lying. So when we see Sayid come back to the helicopter he is with Charlotte and that's it. He traded Charlotte for the fiesty Ghostbuster. But that's okay because Frank really didn't like him anyway. Sayid tells Jack that Kate decided to stay in Othersville. Desmond by this time has been brought into the whole helicopter scene and tries to get answer from Frank and Daniel about his picture being with Naomi. Why he didn't ask Naomi when she was alive should be an obvious question, don't you think? Frank takes Desmond, Sayid and dead Naomi on the helicopter back to the ship, we see them flying off into the distance.
While waiting for the prisoner exchange Daniel conducts an experiment and let me just say I really like that geek. But anyway he discovers that the island is 31 minutes behind regular time or the island's time doesn't move the right way. Very weird and Daniel was freaked out, he warns Frank to take the very same route back to the ship. I get lost watching Austin Powers movies when he goes back and forth with time, how am I suppose to keep up with this?
Back to the flash forward. Sayid is all bloody and walking through a pet hospital. Someone tells him to take off his shirt and starts to work on his GSW (gun shot wound for those of you who have never watched ER) and asks Sayid if he killed her. He has someone else on the list. They show the strangers face and it's Ben, our man of mystery. Sayid says, "They know I'm after them."
And Ben replies, "Good. You want to help your friends, don't you?"
