"He's our You" was a Sayid episode through and through. We even got to see a flashback of him as a child, something we haven't had for any of the characters on Lost in a very long time. Except for the few short scenes about the love quadrangle of Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Juliet, the entire episode was about Sayid.
Lost season 5, episode 10, "He's Our You" observations and questions:
1. We learn from Sayid's childhood flashback that he is a natural killer when he easily kills the chicken that his father had ordered his brother to kill.
2. When Ben told Sayid that there was nobody left to kill of Widmore's group, Sayid seemed disappointed, like he didn't know what he would do with himself.
3. Every time that Sayid has tried to give up killing, he has been brought back to it. When Ben visited Sayid in Santo Domingo he said "Your a killer Sayid". Sayid responded "I'm not what you think I am. I don't like to kill".
4. Right before Sayid shot young Ben at the end of the episode (WOW!), he says "You are right about me, I am a killer".
5. Young Ben delivered Sayid a chicken salad sandwich right after we saw Sayid kill a chicken as a child.
6. Sawyer could not talk Sayid into going along with his story. He refused to have anything to do with becoming part of Dharma.
7. It turns out that Dharma had an interrogator/torturer in their midst. When Sawyer, Horace and Radzinski brought Sayid to the tepee and a man came out, Sayid asked Sawyer who he was. The answer "He's our you" was the perfect way to answer Sayid since he previously held that position both on the Island and in Iraq.
8. The truth drug given too Sawyer worked perfectly but the truth sounded so crazy they didn't believe it. Very funny scene.
9. I actually thought Sayid felt sorry for Ben during the scene when his father (Roger Linus, better known as Roger Workman) beat up on him. Even if he did feel bad, he shot Ben anyway.
10.Even at that young age, Ben didn't care who he hurt to get what he wanted. It must have been Ben that started the fire to distract everyone so that he could help Sayid escape.
11. We finally find out how Sayid wound up on the Ajira Airways flight going to Guam. Ilana was not a marshal, but some sort of bounty hunter bringing him to Guam for killing the golfer back in "The Economist" in season 4. When he got to the airport and saw Hurley, he knew something was up and wanted to switch planes. He desperately didn't want to go back to the Island.
12. During Sayid's conversation with Ilana on the plane you could see the guilt he felt from working for Ben. His killing young Ben at the end probably had more to do with that guilt than any other reason.
13. When Juliet was making breakfast for Sawyer, she told him that she was worried that things were over. Although she spoke of Sayid ruining their cover, while she was talking she was looking out the window at Kate. She seemed more worried of things being over between her and Sawyer because Kate was back.
14. Hurley, Jack and Kate had breakfast together. Hurley brought up Juliet and Sawyer and Kate didn't understand. Hurley explained "They live together, not as roommates. Like you guys were". The look on Kate's face was priceless.
15. Later that day Kate and Juliet are together and Kate brings up the relationship. The have a nice talk and everything is okay. Sawyer, walks by and sees them together and does a double take.
16. Did young Ben really die? I don't think so.
17. If Ben died, and supposedly according to Daniel, they can't change the future, what is going to happen. How will the future not change if he is dead.
18. We still haven't seen Daniel in 1977, and where is Miles?
19. Are we ever going to see Rose, Bernard and any other remaining Oceanic survivors again?
20. There are only 7 episodes left this season!
SPOILER ALERT
Below are a few spoilers for the remainder of the season. Don't look if you don't like spoilers. You may have already read these:
- A major character on Lost will die this season
- A minor character on Lost will die this season
- There will be a wedding on the last episode of season 5. From what I heard, there are many Korean guests at the wedding so it appears that it mostly likely is Sun and Jin renewing their vows. However, I've heard theories that it might be Ji Yeon and Aaron. If so, I have no idea what year this takes place.

What I don't get is how old Ben and child Ben were both alive. Old Ben is on the little island in 2005, and young Ben was alive on the big island in 1977. How can that be possible? I'm so confused by the time.
#16 I guess that's really the important question here. To fit in the logic of the series, young Ben cannot die. Sayid was very emotional when he shot young Ben, a smaller target, in the dark, so even though he's a pro killer it's not unlikely he missed the heart. Also he didn't check that Ben was really dead before running away. Probably when Jin comes round, he will take him back to the Dharma camp and Jack will save Ben's life (again!). Of course, Jack may refuse at first...ah wonderful drama.
Spot on Anonymous, I think you're absolutely right. Jack will be torn between doing his duty as a doctor and keeping his real identity secret. On top of that, who among the survivors will want to save Ben's life? of course after he will be saved, these new events will become part of Ben's memory and he will remember that Sayid shot him and that Jack saved his life when he was child (the same that Desmond remembered his conversation with Daniel). It will be interesting to see Ben's reaction the next time he meets Sayid and Jack.
I think Ben is dead. I think the dharma initiative will all die still becuase that is inevitable, the others will probably just do it on their own without Ben.
Lazy brains cannot,WOULD NOT, watch Lost..One would go nuts trying to make everything fit into the ways of the current years.
A great show..I love the "helps" available now. It enriches the whole thing!
I wasn't a treckie, but i guess my older self is a "LOSTIE".
You asked where the Miles is, He should be around somewhere in Dharma because we saw him in the last episodes.
