First off, in the Moscow scene last week, we saw the Oldham Pharmaceuticals building. Then later we met a guy named Oldham who drugged Sayid. Did he leave the Island to start a massive pharmaceutical concern? Is he the creepy brother of a legitimate scientist? Really, I’m just happy about anything that suggests more backstory for Oldham, since a crazy guy who lives in the woods and comes up with ways to hurt people is a pretty interesting character.
As you know, I tend to obsess over any book that appears onscreen. I mentioned it briefly last week, but Benry gives Sayid a copy of Carlos Castaneda’s A Separate Reality. In this case, I’m not sure that the specifics of the books are as important as the broad strokes.
