This time we are exploring the tortured torturer Sayid Jarrah in his first character-centric episode where he is tied up and interrogated by the French Woman. This episode also sets the foundations for almost the entire mythology going forward: The Others; the cable and underground research stations; the sickness; The Black Rock; the whispers; seeing someone in "the next life"... it all starts here! We'll get into the explanations behind all of those mysteries, plus we shall look ahead to Sayid's trajectory as a character and how his struggle against inner darkness comes to represent a core message within the series.
