wiseacre: Developing a power much; caviate: must involve gratuitous use of crying

wiseacre: And then I remember why I don't like to work in an office - I'm old and my insides are a war zone of crimes against humanity

What we learned:

Flashback character this week is (drum roll) > Sayid (we all breathe a sigh of reliefl, thankfully an interesting character, I swear I'd punch my cats face if they did another lame flashback, like Dingo Claire, sorry, long aside). The focus is on his time during Desert Storm (and a fairly obviously painted Baghdad) and his "cooperation" with the U.S military and the origins of his now imfamous interrogation tactics.
Rousseau (Danielle) is back and takes Sayid to see where "Henry" is being held (a man she trapped and held so that Sayid could gather info from him) - and subsequnetly harpooned by Danielle.
Henry Gale (the aforementioned harpooned dude) is supposedly a survivor of a balloon accident, is interrogated by Sayid. Some incredible acting by Sayid; as he explodes his emotions about Sharon's death through fists of and kicks of rage, anger and sadness. Gale maintains that he and his wife landed there 4 months ago, after their balloon crashed. Sayid does not believe him.
Sawyer makes an appearance; not so popular among the "survivors", nor among treefrogs (can you say prick factor increase).
Mmmm Ranch dressing (I heart Hurley)
The animosity between Jack and John grows - and seems childish and forced. Jack is a parody of himself.
Sweet Sassy MoLassy!! The countdown went down, showed some pictures (a crow, a feather? a stick?) and then reset. What the?
Next week : We (might) discover what happened to Claire for those few weeks she was captured, and find another hatch.

What we don't know

Are we to assume Sayid was educated in the U.S. or England (thus his great grasp of English and perhaps not unquestioning loyalty to Iraq)?
What is up with everyone deceiving one another? Very subtle, but totally fitting with what Danielle said in season one - about how everyone turned on one another.
What do the pictures/icons mean on the countdown?
Are there 2 groups of "Others"? More?
Is Henry an "Other"?
What did the countdown do if anything?
