Lost: Season Six

[Dr Strangelove]

So by trying to nullify Sayid's potential evil Dogon placed Sayid squarely in Smokey's entourage.

Sayid should kill people more often

[Drake Tungsten]

I was disappointed at how easily Keamy let himself get killed. He was many things in his other life, but stupid was not one of them.

[Guynemer]

Well, in his defense, its not like he had a lot of options. Sayid got the drop on Omar and his other henchbuddy, and Keamy was unarmed.

I'm a little disappointed that he won't be around a bit more in the alternative reality; he was such a menacing presense on the Island, it would've been fun to have him reprise his role off of it. However, interesting to note that he, too, was much changed by Jughead. Instead of being a merc, he was a gangster.


As for Sawyer and Jin... perhaps Sawyer was taking care of Jin in Claire's squirrel-baby hut?



I richly enjoyed Ben's "oh **** **** ****ity ****" look after his encounter with Sayid.

[Guynemer]

It appears that Smokey is trying to get people to choose the alternative reality; Sayid can have everything we wants, even Nadia. Of course, he doesn't have Nadia there, and has actually vowed to never have her. Tricksey tricksey, Smokey.

[Dr Strangelove]

I wonder if Rousseau will show up in the alternative reality?

Another great episode. With the end in sight, there is a purpose. It's a lot easier to explain things to my wife. In previous season, she'd ask a question and all I could answer, would be "I have no f****** idea"

[flash9286]

So once you join Smokey, are you with Smokey for good? Can Jack & Hurley talk some sense into Sayid? Claire looks like she cannot be "saved."

[Guynemer]

Considering he straight-up murdered Dogen and Lennon, and aided and abetted the murder of every other Other still in the Temple, I'm gonna say Sayid cannot be "saved" either.

[flash9286]

Thinking about this episode, it is a lot better than I previously thought. Sayid is a tragic character. This episode was definitively in the favor of destiny/predestination.

[Krill]

Sayid just looked deranged...anywho, that leaves, what, another 12 episodes to go of LOST?

[rah]

Yes, he's tragic but just does what he has to do (which doesn't necessarily make him evil). He didn't want to kill those gangsters but eventually he had to protect his family. Most would say that was justified.
On the island they had two different people try to kill him. I don't see what he did as murder but more something that had to be done in self defense. Yes, a big stretch but they were so hard trying to make both stories have the same type of moral dilemma where he didn't want to have to do it but forced to. And the bargain was icing on the cake.

[Guynemer]

How was he forced to kill Dogen, thus letting Smokey into the Temple?

Sayid did the same thing Ben did; he facilitated a Purge, but this time of the Others, as opposed to Dharma.

There is going to be something very, very wrong with Zombie Sayid, though.
