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.

What is even happening?
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.

Our wings are not tired.
I was watching with my friend and we were wondering aloud if they would go there. From the first scene of the episode they showed they were going there. We may have watched Sayid shoot a child, but Sayid was killing a 30 year older Ben. He just didn't do a very good job. Sayid probably doesn't know that dead doesn't happen very easily on the Island.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I love that Sayid shot Ben. It's so the obvious thing for him to try, and I don't think he's discussed time-travel paradox possibilities with anyone.
I was really worried that the burning bus was the beginning of Ben's wholesale wiping out of Dharma.
Ben survives and kills all the Dharmistas in revenge.
That makes narrative sense, but does it make sense for young!Ben? He's got the big resentment for Dharma, but the guy who just shot him is, as far as he knows, a Hostile. Depends on who finds him and what they tell him, I guess.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
still can't get past the whole romantic triangle ridiculousness, setting up a scenario where we're left to wonder if people are better matched by profession (doctors with doctors, rascals with fugitives) or by hair color (blondes with blondes, brunettes with brunettes.) I expected better from the heart of craziness!
has internets at work now. Muahahahah. :)

man, what a fucking cheat: "if I take him, he'll forget any of this happened and he'll lose his innocence."

Yeah, but I'm so looking forward to the Locke/Ben showdown that looks to be in the offing next week.

Boooooo, lame!
On the other hand, how hard will Sayid slap himself on the forehead when he discovers that he was responsible for creating the Ben Linus they all know and hate? READ SOME SOPHOCLES, SIR.
(Also, if Jack had just saved him, he wouldn't have lost his damn innocence.)
