Sayid's Past, And Kelvin

Hey guys, im new to the forums but i have always had this question.

Has anyone ever noticed or commented on the fact that when Sayid was a P.O.W. in Iraq, Kelvin was the man that was interrogating/torturing Sayid. Now all of a sudden he's on the island? How did he get there, and what was the connection there?

Your thoughts please.

Kelvin told Desmond he was a spook, which I think is slang for CIA, and he did things like we say in Sayid's flashback. After he quit that he joined Dharma. I don't think he went into any detail about coming to the island or if that is all he did for DI.

Yes, he was involved with the CIA. But how do you go from the CIA to the DI? Unless the CIA has a hand in the DI im not too sure that Kelvin was in the CIA.

Transcripts from Live Together Die Alone:

[FLASHBACK]

[We see Desmond moving a cart under a blast door. Inman pours some detergent into a measuring cup and stirs it with a paint brush.]

DESMOND: Maybe you should do it?

INMAN: Come on, Des, you've seen me do it a hundred times.

[Desmond hits the bare wires together to make the blast doors come down. We hear the loudspeaker counting down: 6, 5, 4; and see the blast door come down on the cart, leaving a big enough space to crawl under.]

DESMOND: How do you even remember where you left off from?

INMAN: Slowly, Des. Very, very slowly. You should have seen Radzinsky do this. He had a photographic memory. I mean, this whole baby was his idea.

DESMOND: Yeah, right, Radzinsky. Radzinsky figured out how to fake a lockdown. Radzinsky created this great invisible map. More and more tales about your former partner. Yet for some reason, you never want to tell me what bloody well happened to him.

[Inman walks over to Desmond and points to a spot on the ceiling.]

INMAN: See that brown stain, there? That's Radzinsky. He put a shotgun in his mouth when I was asleep. The ***** of it was, I only had a 108 minutes to bury the poor bastard.

DESMOND: Well, if you don't want me to go crazy, next time let me go out.

INMAN: Well, you want to go out there with the quarantine and the hostiles?

DESMOND: I haven't been outside for 2 bloody years! Yes, I want to go. I was in the army for God's sake!

INMAN: Oh, right, Her Majesty's Army, correct? Tell me, Desmond, why'd you leave that nice old lady's army? Oh, I remember now. You got kicked out because you couldn't follow orders.

DESMOND: Why did you leave your army, Kelvin, huh?

INMAN: Because men followed my orders. Ah, but then thank God I joined the Dharma Initiative. Namaste, thank you, and good luck. [he laughs]

DESMOND: Please, Kelvin. Let me go out, huh? Just once.

INMAN: Sorry, Des. You stay here. You push the button. That's an order.

Civilian - welcome! - you can do a search on this site and find all sorts of threads on old stuff like that.

Very good. Thanks Wed. So he just joined. Clear and simple. I'll have to do more searches before i just post stuff from now on :S

Civilian if you have any questions on things that happen in earlier seasons feel free to PM me too... I am always happy to give answers!

ASK ANYTHING..no such thing as a dumb question--sometimes brings up a whole other side of something..

kk, thanks.

Oddly, i could swear Kelvin inman said somethng about 'saving the world', which sounds exactly like what Patchy said. Patchy said he'd been in the Army, for the Soviets. You could think kelvin was then lying, like it's a usual story the Other's give, but we know he was in the CIA. He's a mystery man alright... Welcome aboard.
