The Island won't let him kill himself, maybe?
I forgot that part. Between that and the suicide not working out the same it makes more sense. Saving him to kill him is not random.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

Somebody remind me, how did Christian Shepard die?

He was killed at a bar, right? Did Sawyer shoot him? Or was that a misdirect?

During this time, Jack flew to Australia to find Christian, upon his mother's urging. He was told that Christian had been found dead in a Sydney alley, with his blood alcohol concentration so high that it was probably responsible for the massive heart attack that ostensibly led to his death.

That was someone else. That was the person he thought was Sawyer. He talked to Christian right before shooting him.

I'm just wondering if Christian is no more really-truly-dead than John is, now.

Well, Jack did find the empty coffin all those years ago.

The show is certainly leading us to believe there's a direct parallel.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
And yet Ben is the one who insists Locke has to come back to the island.
And Ben made sure that Locke still returned to the island, just, ya know, dead.
I'm thinking, Ben didn't want Locke to kill himself because he does believe that everyone needs to get back to the island, and Locke can help with that, since he's must trusted by a long-shot than Ben himself is. And then when Ben sees that Locke is going to steal Ben's specialness again with the knowledge of Eloise, he snaps.
I'm confused on the timeline of Sayid's after-island life. They've been back three years? So the first nine months or so are bliss with Nadia, then he starts working for Ben, I don't remember what happened that made Sayid finally lose his taste for Ben, and since then he's been do Good Works? Because all I can remember is the reveal that Sayid had been working for Ben, then Sayid telling Hurley to do the opposite of whatever Ben says. What did I miss? I had just figured that even though Sayid was still working for Ben, he hated and distrusted him, but went along anyway.

Julilebird - I think we need a Sayid episode because I thought he went right from working with Ben to the stuff with Hurley. And clearly, people are still after him so it's not like he was off the radar.
