I learn so much from Buffistas. Now I'm eagerly awaiting someone figuring out how to electrotorture a person with handy items around the house, 'cause I'm writing that one down. You just never know, in Bush's America, when you may have to torture someone one day.
I missed the W&P because I was offline while my computer was being upgraded. Of course, most of the points I wanted to make have been noted by others already. The two things that stood out most for me that have not been mentioned are 1) Why is Noor now called Nadia, and how should Sayid have known that? Isn't Nadia a Russian name?? and 2) does it bother anyone else that Sayid and Nadia fell in love while he was torturing her for weeks?? Very disturbing.
Of course, now that I say that, I'm suddenly thinking it could be a phone cable of some sort.
All they have to do now is follow it back to the phone booth on the island and they can call for help!!!
Good points, zenkitty! 1) I don't have a good answer for, but 2) is just about one of those more extreme hurt/comfort scenarios that you come across in fanfic.
I know! We can call it
Fanfic Island!

That happened on an episode of Gilligan's Island, only they tapped in and got Gladys Kravitz, who cut them off for not paying the toll charges. Then they called at random, instead of calling, say phone numbers of people they knew...
Heh -- we should call this series
Gilligan's Island Extreme....
1) Why is Noor now called Nadia, and how should Sayid have known that?
The first conversation they had in the prison set up the fact that they had known each other as children. He didn't recognize her, but she recognized him, and said something like "no one calls me Noor. You should know that, Sayid."
I'm pretty sure he did recognize her. He did a double take when the guards were first bringing her in. Perhaps he was hoping she wouldn't recognize him.
Heh -- we should call this series Gilligan's Island Extreme....
Make that
Xtreme.
"I wanted to call the show 'Going to other Planets' but research says that shows with an 'X' in the name get higher ratings."
I thought he was just checking her out, but you could be right.

Oooh. This makes the Tories song "Gladys Kravitz" make more sense.
