Inner Struggle

Oh, Sayid ...

I was truly rooting for you from the beginning. Even after you tortured Sawyer because I knew you were doing it to save the bratty Shannon. Even after it was revealed that you used to torture innocent people. Even after you agreed to work with Ben Linus to assassinate Charles Widmore's allies. Even after you went to 1977 and shot the innocent boy who'd grow up to be the evil Ben Linus.

I'd always thought that you were struggling to unleash the good you had deep down and let it overtake the bad things you've done throughout your life. Out of all the Oceanic survivors on the island, you seemed to be the most level-headed and the most knowledgeable when it came to surviving. You also seemed to have an instinct for knowing who could and could not be trusted. And off the island, you reinvented yourself as a worker building houses with a charity organization after your missions with Ben.

But it looks like you've truly embraced the dark side now that you've died and been resurrected. I got chills at the end of "Sundown" as you and Claire walked over dead bodies at the temple and met up with unLocke/FLocke. Even though you had so much potential to be good, you also have so many abilities to be a truly evil villain.

I'm terrified by what you are now capable of doing as an unLocke/FLocke lackey.
