Oh! Um, it's the end. Okay then.
Sayid lost his shit (possibly made easier because he'd already started down that path again with the torture) and went after Sawyer with intent to kill, although he did pull himself back from the edge in time. Still, I think it was the fact that he nearly killed Sawyer after it was revealed that he didn't have what they were looking for that made him realize he'd broken his vow.
Yes. This was one of the things I was trying to get at, in my bumbling, circuitous way.
It did lower my opinion of Sawyer. I used to guiltily like him but now I just wish him pain. As long as it's quiet like. I just don't want him to get eaten by the Iron Giant because, well, dimples.
it made Sawyer's attitudes/actions *understandable* but in no way excusable.
Nodding like a big old noddy thing.
how they're going to handle beard issues in the series. Are they all going to have castaway beards?Take knife-shaving lessons from Locke. Actually? I know wimmens isn't supposed to HAVE hair in spots and places, but how long are those women going to run around in sleeveless shirts, hmmm? The shorts and sandals look is gonna get kinda unisex looking, too, unless some importer was shipping a load of disposable razors, and the crate that fell out when the tail section broke off washes ashore.
I didn't get the impression from their conversation that he immediately thought Locke must be right about Sawyer, more that he hadn't previously considered Sawyer at all, and now the seed of doubt has been planted.
Yep. That's what I got, too, and also,
It could be argued that Sayid wanted a reason to beat on Sawyer
and
Sayid was too intent on hating Sawyer to think through it that far. He didn't want to.
This is great. You people are making all my points for me! I just have to quote and nod.
It's only a half-baked theory, about Claire and the island, Sean. And it falls completely apart if anybody remembers, or if there's footage in anybody's flashback of Claire being on the plane.
But she's very young, and pregnant, beautiful, blonde, probably the least threatening person on the island that we know of, with the possible exception of Walt. We do know that one among the castaways wasn't on the plane--no one would suspect Claire because of her appearance. But we've all wondered if a woman that pregnant would be allowed to fly.
And the voice on the looping message was female. I just had a wild thought that Claire might "be" the island. That the child symbolises "new life" brought to the island, in the persons of the castaways. And that the birth of her child may mean...
...I dunno. Like I said, a wild thought.
