This was one hell of an episode. Possibly one of the greatest episodes of any TV series I've ever seen. I'm stunned. And, yes, Desmond and Sayid actually do meet Phoebe Buffay's irritating old psychiatrist boyfriend Roger (Fisher Stevens) on the boat. This is a Desmond centric episode and he has a tough time since his mind starts to drift between 1996 and 2004.
Desmond: I'm not supposed to be here! Open this door! Open this door!
George: Hey... hey... hey! It's happening to you too? Isn't it?
Fisher Stevens is pretty damn cool as George Minkowski. And the time jumps! They remind me of Donnie Darko. Desmond and Daniel are absolutely great in this episode. Especially the young Oxford Daniel. Love his hair!
Sayid: On the helicopter something happend to Desmond. He doesn't appear to recognize me or know where he is.
Jack: Side effects?
Daniel: Wait... Your friend... Desmond. Has he recently been exposed to high levels of radiation or electromagnetism? Okey, look we don't know why. But going to and coming from the island some people can get a little confused.
Juliet: So... is this amnesia?
Daniel: No. This is not amnesia.
Lab rats running through mazes, crazy scientists, true love, men in the military, time travel, hidden agendas, helicopter rides in bad weather, friendship... what more could you possibly ask for in a TV series? And Sayid is seriously kicking MacGuyvers ass. He manage to build phone out of a pile of junk on a boat in the middle of the Pacific so Desmond can call Penny in London. Impressive! If you haven't started to watch season 4 of Lost yet it's time to do so now. You won't find anything better or more intriguing.
