I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

eta: To be on the safe side I think Hurley should check the grave in a couple days to make sure it isn't disturbed.
These people have learned nothing from a lifetime of late-night Creature Feature movies. Once you're at the point of doing a backyard burial for someone you killed, what's the harm in burying the head and body in two separate places? Not as if the deceased is gonna miss it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And yet the "strip_Sayid_strip" community is strangely absent.
If someone wants to set that up, the queue forms behind me, please.
My mind went to the zombie place, but that could just be because it's Lost, and people don't seem to stay dead on Lost. I enjoyed the episode, but it didn't change my feelings on Sawyer much. I still think he's kind of an ass, and kind of a stupid one at that. Though that doesn't mean I don't like watching him. I saw the 'twist' coming from a mile off, though I kept hoping they were just trying to fool me, and it actually would be Sawyer.

Scott and that chick who went swimming would beg to differ.
Never fear
Where would we be without you?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Tavella--I saw it differently than you. I think they tried to get our sympathy for Sawyer in showing him as a little boy, hearing his father murdering his mother and then cowering as his father killed himself. I think what they were hoping to do (and I don't think they quite succeeded) was have us feel some catharsis when he killed Not!Sawyer, and then take that away by in effect saying, "Now he's a murderer and all for nothing. He's even a failure in getting revenge." That didn't make me feel more sympathy for him. Pity maybe.
The writers went to a great deal of trouble to make Not!Sawyer sympathetic--giving him that nice cooking scene and making him confused and sad at death, rather than cursing or something. If they really wanted us no to care about his death, they could have done what drama commonly does, dehumanized him. They could have had Sawyer walk up to the cart and shoot him before he said a word and wasn't quite "real" to us.
