Wait a second, Bank Robber is too close to cliche? Girl who lived with a guy and got pregnant and had to be talked into staying pregnant then went to scary psychic is too close to a cliche? Shannon is the most clicheed character, IMO, and the least interesting, but I don't find the other three close to cliches, unless you define clicheed women's roles incredibly broadly, like "unmarried and pregnant".
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Is it a straight razor?
Yes. And thank god for the... old-fashioned barber shop supplies smugglers.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
That joke will never die.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If it's a straight razor, it almost doesn't matter who's wielding it -- those things are hawt.
Still, I have my preferences, and Sayid is definitely one.

Who can resist, though? It's the perfect explanation. I'm actually amused to read all the different situations in which the [insert object name] smugglers get themselves into.

Well, Sayid owns a straight razor.

Well, Sayid own's a straight razor.
But didn't Sawyer get a hold of it? I remember him brandishing one at some point (including misleading preview).

He had it, and Sawyer came up to him and took it -- Sawyer didn't seem to know what it was.

He needs to be taught.
