LOSTBLOG -- Live-blogging "He's Our You"

The "Lost" live-blog returns tonight shortly before 8 p.m. Hit refresh throughout the episode for real-time reactions, and don't hesitate to ask questions and share crazy theories in the comments below!

752 -- Here comes the first live blog in a while, direct from the newsroom. (Ah, the perks of filling in for the national editor, whose desk has a TV!)

756 -- I like this "Better Off Ted" show, but it got horrible ratings last week. Help it out, my fellow Losties!

757 -- Doesn't the actor playing Ted sound like the dude who does all the Bravo commercials?

800 -- It's a Sayid episode. Those are never good, with the exception of last year's "The Economist" (4x03).

801 -- Sayid began his life of torture and death by killing chickens. That bastard.

802 -- Did he ... deflate that chicken?

803 -- Awww, Little Ben has a kind heart.

804 -- The book: "A Separate Reality." Fitting title. Never heard of it though.

804 -- Wow! Did Sterling Beaumon get personal lessons in creepiness from Michael Emerson, or did he do his homework with a stack of DVDs? Well done, kid.

806 -- I know one person capable of killing the entire DHARMA Initiative with a toxic nerve gas... Could Sayid eventually carry out The Purge we saw in Season 3?

807 -- Click here for the Amazon page on the book Ben just gave Sayid.

808 -- Now this is promising; we get to see more of Sayid's assassination domination!

809 -- He looked shockingly thin when he came down those stairs. Are skinny jeans really practical for assassins? Oh, and niiiice hat, Benjamin.

810 -- "But... but... I like being an unstoppable killing machine!"

811 -- I see Doug Hutchison and a jail cell. All I can think of is: "Percy Wetmore, do a little dance / See him pissin' in his pants"...

812 -- "I'm gonna give you an hour ..." What is this, an episode of "24"?

812 -- "James, how can I cook bacon when your old girlfriend is here?!?!?"

814 -- Oldham isn't going to get very far doing "his thing" on Sayid. This could get ugly.

815 -- I don't care how bad-ass I am, I am never sucker-punching Sayid Jarrah. James is lucky to still be alive!

816 -- I knew Sayid wouldn't play along. This development lends credence to a certain rumor that's been making the rounds on the ol' Intarwebs...

819 -- OMG, Hurley looks EXACTLY like the mustard guy here! (I'll post a link at the next break)

820 -- "Hey Sayid, wanna watch me throw my football?" Ben's dad is so lame. In fact, all the characters Jon Gries has ever played are so lame.

821 -- If there were a dishwasher in that jail cell, Ben's dad would be soooo dead.

823 -- "I think he was murdered. ... It was retribution for the work you and I have been doing." Ben, you lying SOB. Now we know how he got Sayid back on board with whatever plan he's cooking.

824 -- How awesome would it be if Sayid and Jack Bauer were pitted against each other?

825 -- "Butters! It's not cool to shoot a guy in the d***!"

826 -- And the guy in the creepy teepee is ... LARRY FROM 'NEWHART'?!?!?

827 -- "Hi. I'm Larry. I killed my brother Darryl, and my other brother Darryl." This is some of the wackiest casting in the show's history. I love it.

827 -- Click here to see the "Mustard Guy" made (in)famous by the Internet. Too bad Hugo wasn't slinging hot dogs in that cafeteria scene.

830 -- Isn't it about time for Kate and Juliet to fight each other in the mud for sole possession of the James "Sawyer" Ford Sexy Time Championship?

833 -- McCutcheon: That's the scotch that Widmore keeps in his office.

833 -- Did she have that accent in her other episodes? Does she have one now? Or is Zuleikha Robinson just as bad an actor as Naveen Andrews?

835 -- Bow-chicka-bow-bow. Just hope Titus Pullo doesn't come-a-callin'.

836 -- Gawd, he's awful. "Because I am a baaad maaan."

836 -- Nice save, Radzinsky. (I mean, convenient screenwriting.)

838 -- "I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS!!!!"

838 -- I am both dismayed and encouraged by this understanding Kate and Juliet seem to have with each other.

839 -- So ... the show's Iraqi character is involved in a plot where the "good guys" are debating whether or not to play by the "terrorists'" rules. That's a little on the nose, don't you say?

840 -- "We have to think about Ethan." Little does Amy know that Ethan will grow up to be as much of a monster as anyone on this show.

841 -- "The Radzinsky Solution" would be an awesome name for a band.

842 -- So, Sawyer voted to kill Sayid. I guess that means it's on him to bail his buddy out of this mess.

844 -- By the way, the Blackhawks are beating the Sharks 4-1. Yeeeeah!

847 -- Well, Sayid does like it rough ...

847 -- Awwww snap. The first assassination we saw last year comes back to haunt our man.

848 -- Methinks Sayid thinks his purpose has something to do with Little Ben's brains getting splattered all over DHARMAville.

850 -- "Run for it, Marty! It's the Libyans!!!!!"

851 -- Well done, Little Linus. Well done.

852 -- Wow, I didn't see that one coming. Sayid is responsible for Ben Linus, super-villain?

858 -- So why the change of heart, Sayid? Or is this another one of the show's long cons?

900 -- HOLY CRAP!

901 -- How awesome would it be if Little Ben really is dead? That would change everything. But I'm guessing he'll be OK.

IN SUMMARY:
Well, that episode ended how I guessed it would based on last week: With Sayid pointing a gun at Little Ben. I didn't think he would actually pull the trigger, though.

So let's assume Little Ben lives; will he have suffered some kind of brain damage that makes him forget who Sayid is, or has Ben always lived with the knowledge that this man once tried to kill him? I vote for the latter, considering their conversation at the Habitat for Humanity site in the flashback.

So let's take that one step further: Did Ben have to deceive and betray the Losties just so Sayid would, one day, shoot him in 1977? Does the attempt on Ben's life have to happen for Ben to achieve his ultimate goal?

Each episode this season makes Ben more fascinating; maybe we can't even grasp how much Ben knows about the island, the Losties, Widmore ... everything.

Obviously we need a Ben-centric episode, and quickly. Please, Darlton?

Best scene: Some issues with the acting aside, the interrogation scene was intense, and even a bit comical, thanks to the appearance of William Sanderson as Oldham, DHARMA's "Deliverance" version of Sayid.

Best line: It comes from the title. Sawyer, telling Sayid who Oldham is: "He's our you."

Best performance: Kudos to Sterling Beaumon, who got to be creepy like Emerson and play a "death" scene, in only his third episode of "Lost"!
