Lost Season Four: "The Economist"

What the FUCK is going on!

What I Liked:

• Sayid makes it off the island. Thank God! Between him and Hurley, I don't care who the rest of the Oceanic Six are
• Three great episodes in a row.
• Lines of the night: Hurley, "Oh awesome, the ship sent us another Sawyer" and "Yeah, I saw you break that guy's neck with that breakdancing thing you do with your legs. I think I'll hang back here."

What I Didn't Like:

• I agree with Ausiello, they have gotten over Charlie's death rather quickly. It hasn't been 24 hours since they found out Charlie's dead.
• Locke hasn't done much to engender the trust his team has put on him.

What We Learned:

Future:

• Sayid pooled his golf lessons from his time on the island.
• Oceanic Six received a large settlement
• Sayid is an assassin/hitman for Ben(!)
• Sayid prefers the "chick" spot in post-coital cuddling
  

Present:

• There was a secret room in Ben's house in Othersville containing a Bourne-like cache of passports and currency
• Sayid's stupidity cost Ben a dollar.
• Sawyer doesn't want to leave the island
• Kate joins Team Locke...for now

Questions:

• What kind of details did "Taller Walt" give Locke regarding the Freighties?
• Who is R.G. (Naomi's bracelet)?
• Why hasn't Sayid been in charge this whole time?
• Did Sayid give up on Nadia?
• Why couldn't Locke find Jacob's cabin (or why is Jacob's cabin not making itself available to Locke)?
• Is Naomi wearing the same braclet as Elsa?
  
• Why is Jeff Fahey the only one of the Freighties listed as a "guest star"? Doesn't bode well for his time on the island?
• Why does Miles care about Locke so much?
• Who is Regina (on the freighter)?
• What does the fact that the beacon was delayed by 31 minutes(!) mean?
• If time is moving slower on the island than in the real world, how are the freighties able to have real-time radio transmissions with the boat?
  
• What exactly is Daniel testing for?
• Considering Sawyer was on the original raft, why does he want to stay on the island now?
• Was Miles kidding when he said "not yet"?
• How did they get Desmond and Penny's photo?
• How often has Ben been off the island with his cache of passports?
• What work does Charlotte have to do on the island?
  
• Why is it important that Frank has to stay on the same bearing he came in on with the helicopter?
• Who did Elsa call after she shot Sayid?
• Does the fact that Ben makes it off the island imply that the Oceanic Six mean more people make if off the island with less fanfare?
• What happened the last time Sayid "thought with his heart instead of his gun"?
• How is Ben protecting Sayid's "friends"?
• Who are the people Ben is having Sayid kill?
