Time-travel paradoxes make my head hurt.
Also? Holy shit. I thought they'd go for the meaningful ending, with Sayid realizing that if he shot young!Ben, it would prove that adult!psycho!Ben was right, and so Sayid would prove adult!psycho!Ben wrong by not shooting young!Ben.
Plus, who the hell shoots a kid? Dang.
man. I cannot believe what they just did. I wonder if it will stick.
And, man -- the actor who plays young!Ben reminds me of Vincent Kartheiser, big time.
man. I cannot believe what they just did.
Seriously. I can't believe they went there. Who shoots a kid in the gut?
Sayid, apparently.
That's some cold blooded shit.
Ben survives and kills all the Dharmistas in revenge.
Given that Ben shot Locke and it didn't take, I'm betting young Ben comes through pretty OK.
Hell, Ben's killed Locke TWICE and it didn't take either time when the Island came into play.
Yeah, I don't think it will take. It was a shocking image -- to see Sayid shoot a child, but when I remember who that child is, what was shocking to me was my lack of concern.
It won't take, but that doesn't change the fact that Sayid did it. That's hardcore.
