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.
Sayid ain't so! See what I did there? He was one of my favorites as well, but I agree that there is much more potential for his darker side. Now at lost.com you can get an extra evil Sayid black wife beater.
ReplyDelete"Sayid ain't so!"
ReplyDeleteYou're on a roll!
Sniff Sniff! I'm going to miss the good-yet-trying-to-atone-for-his-past-actions Sayid. I don't want him to be evil, it's just not right! He's one of my favorites, he's not annoying like Jack or Kate. He's stealth and badass. And where exactly does this evil that has infected him and Claire come from anyway?
ReplyDelete...and he can sport a wife beater like no one's business. Ever see him dance in Bride and Prejudice? ;)
ReplyDeleteHe was in Bride and Prejudice? I've always wanted to see that movie, and now I have a great excuse!
ReplyDeleteSigh. ... eed. :(
ReplyDeleteYes, he was in Bride and Prejudice, and he does some Bollywood dancing. He's not as sexy as he is in LOST, he's clean shaven, looks relatively well-bathed, and wears flowing clothing. Oh well...
ReplyDeleteDarn! I love my non-well-bathed men of Lost! Just kidding ... Love it when people bathe!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks cool when they're running through the jungle, but then I think about how they'd smell, and I change my mind... yuck.
