One thing that really struck me the second time around was how very many times the word "kid" was said throughout the episode. Roger didn't call Ben by name because of their strained relationship; the rest presumably avoided it to put distance between this child and the adult Ben Linus who they hated. I swear that "kid" must've come up at least a couple dozen times.<BR/><BR/>I think my favorite dialogue of the episode was this exchange between Hurley and Miles: <BR/>Hurley: "That was really confusing."<BR/>Miles: "Yeah, well, get used to it."<BR/>Oh, Hurley. You so know how we all feel.<BR/><BR/>Also, I wonder if Ben's lost "innocence" might be more about lost "ignorance" - like after going into the Temple, he knew things about the Island he didn't before? Though we didn't see any indication of that in his scene as a kid in the next episode...Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07191855305749074736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5425718396565573656.post-49651395527687186402009-04-10T19:52:00.000-07:002009-04-10T19:52:00.000-07:00Well, at least one important question was answered...Well, at least one important question was answered...
