Ladies and Gentlemen, we have reached the first episode with Ben Linus, but he's not Ben Linus yet. He's playing the part of Henry Gale, a hot air balloon pilot who crashed on the island with his wife.
I remember when I first watched this episode part of me really believe Henry's story because of the great detail he answered Sayid's questions, but there was something about him that didn't make me totally sure. There was a great scene between Sayid and Henry when he asked him how many shovel fulls of each he scooped up when burying the woman he loved. Very powerful scene since you could recall and see in Sayid's eyes that he was thinking about Shannon.
We get to see how Sayid became the man that he is today and how that he battles within himself and hates himself for the things that he's done in the past. There is a battle between good and evil within him and sometimes the evil really shows through which is hard because deep down he is a really good person and will some day die a martyr.
