I was thinking their switch to evilness was more about them being unable to get over loss (of Nadia, of Aaron) and giving way to bitterness and desperate solutions, making pacts with evil people in order to change fate. Kind of like how Michael went off the deep end to save his son, killing Libby and Ana Lucia to do so. Now Sayid is killing to get Nadia back, Claire is killing to get Aaron back. I didn't think of it in terms of them always being bad or good. In fact, Claire seemed like a good person to me, just having a hard time. Sayid, too, really. After all, he put his life at risk by letting Nadia go free. I don't think the Lost writers will be content to say "bad is bad" and "good is good". I think it's just people's emotions are being manipulated to the dark side as they're caught in this larger struggle of good vs. evil on a grand scale. <br /><br />I dunno.Wes W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08514956373983835499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319360002485793849.post-81148862494718868502010-03-04T09:08:54.511-08:002010-03-04T09:08:54.511-08:00Coult!

I always end up sympathizingwith the sad sap because if they can't be redeemed, or "saved", then who in the sorry lot of us can? I always root for the underdogs for that reason. It's entirely rooted in selfishness. If they can be redeemed then it works out better for me too. :)Angelahttp://www.angelabuckland.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319360002485793849.post-63336308826817162152010-03-04T05:58:36.902-08:002010-03-04T05:58:36.902-08:00if sawyer, claire, and sayid all go bad then that&...if sawyer, claire, and sayid all go bad then that's too predictable and not really giving the bad guys a fair shake at redemption. they were the bad guys to start with. i mean, claire is the unwed teenage mother, sayid is the toturer/killer, and sawyer is the heartless conman. they were bad to start with! and then the good one are jack the genius doctor, hurley the lovable funny fat man, and sun the beautiful woman with repressed inner strength. they were already pretty much good. if none of these characters switches sides in the end then it's not about getting second chances and practicing your free will. it's about being stuck with what you got and there not being a dang thing you can do about it even after paying your dues by going completely bonkers on a goofy island with a bunch of other crazed nuts. annoying! <br />to solve this problem they can make just make sawyer wind up being good.<br /><br />--coulterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319360002485793849.post-53482853610618281552010-03-03T12:26:51.489-08:002010-03-03T12:26:51.489-08:00So, I guess I'm saying I'm not sure Claire...So, I guess I'm saying I'm not sure Claire would have believed Kate.Wes W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08514956373983835499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319360002485793849.post-75878753194226773252010-03-03T12:26:18.387-08:002010-03-03T12:26:18.387-08:00As far as Claire's mom goes, I definitely thou...As far as Claire's mom goes, I definitely thought she should have mentioned that, but one interesting thing to note: The last time Claire saw her mom, her mom was in a coma from a car accident. In fact, we don't know when she awoke from that coma. We just know it must of happened sometime between 2004 and 2007 when Oceanic Six returned to the island.Wes W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08514956373983835499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319360002485793849.post-78953732235947882472010-03-03T08:22:19.834-08:002010-03-03T08:22:19.834-08:00Okay: I know whatcha mean, Ange. I also miss Say...Okay: I know whatcha mean, Ange. I also miss Sayid's complexity, which is so realistic. However, I think Sayid is now not just Sayid, if you know what I'm saying. Here's my theory:<br />Sayid is bitter about the loss of his wife, Claire is bitter about the loss of Aaron and Sawyer is bitter about the loss of juliet - will these characters (I think the answer for Claire and Sayid is yes) allow their bitterness to affect their moral compass and turn them totally evil? Then we have Jack who is also bitter, but will he rise above it and save the island?<br /><br />I think Ben is going to be a redeeming figure in the end and fight for the good of the island. This could be wishful thinking because I love him, but I think we saw some repentance as he seemed sincere at John Locke's funeral.<br /><br />I love Richard, Ben and Jacob - my very favorite characters - so I hope they are all given a glorious conclusion.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03328620310587748181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319360002485793849.post-55417280591872245232010-03-03T07:38:38.020-08:002010-03-03T07:38:38.020-08:00Okay, last from me, I promise.

But then again, I think I've been in denial. Still, this episode was incredibly painful for me to watch. Was it me, or did Sayid closely resemble a Scooby Doo villain at the very end? I've always loved his complexity: the gentle, soft-spoken torturer. So seeing him go all bad felt a little bit flat and one-dimensional to me. <br /><br />I loved the Sayid/Dogon showdown in the beginning. Great fight scene.<br /><br />If they kill Ben off next week, I'll be doubly pissed. He's my other favorite character. <br /><br />So, yeah maybe he shouldn't kill people, but was Sayid shooting Keamy and his henchmen really a bad thing? I mean, I for one, was thankful that I didn't have to look at Keamy's teeth any longer. It seemed like more of a mercy killing to me.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17995697503647216357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319360002485793849.post-49819255175364922802010-03-03T07:01:03.604-08:002010-03-03T07:01:03.604-08:00Yay!

I thought a lot of the things that you said and noticed how Sayid's flash was different than the others so far because he turned dark in both. Interesting. I also heard the screams when smokey went over the hole. I wondered if it was all the screams from anyone he has ever terrorized/killed? Like trapped in there with him? <br /><br />IN the clip from next week, I don't know why but when Ben was digging I immediately thought he was digging up real Locke's body. I don't know why but I hope even now he knows something and decides to use it. I agree that he absolutely can not die until the last ep. It just wouldn't be the same!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06216716472447191530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319360002485793849.post-21988203630103992622010-03-03T05:29:52.255-08:002010-03-03T05:29:52.255-08:00I know, Davis!!
