Thank God -- a Sayid episode. Save me, Sayid! Save me!
-- HI NADIA!!!!!
-- OMG SAYID HAS KIDS
-- ... Or not. Of course, they call him "Sayid" instead of "dad" or "father".
-- This makes me sad. This should be Sayid's life.
-- Ooh, looks like husband's busy with work. Cheating tiem nao??
-- Oh, hey, he decided to use English right away this time.
-- "You tweaked my nipples!!"
-- It's a trap!!
-- Extended chop-socky time go go go~
-- Getting that wood across the face would hurt quite a bit.
-- "Autographed by Sadaharu Oh."
-- "*sigh* Gotta spend a few years as Claire's kid after this ..."
-- Note to self: Never, ever wake Sayid.
-- Nice job pushing Sayid into your problems, jerk.
-- "You won't torture and kill people anymore? You dick!"
-- Ghostbuster is trying to say Sayid was brought back by the power of crazy.
-- Oh, NOW we're getting translations!
-- How tough is it to lose a big fat guy and a suicidal doctor?
-- Did Evil!Locke really think that plan was going to work? "Uh, yeah, tell him to come out and hope he follows. Maybe lure him with some math or something, I don't know."
-- "If you want to prove you are good, then go kill this guy you don't know."
-- "It's dangerous to go alone. Take this!"
-- "Let's go to Sea World and play with the orca!"
-- Oh god, random flash of bad hair from Jack.
-- IT'S THE EVIL PERSON START STABBING, SAYID
-- STAB STAB STAB
-- SHE'S ALREADY TALKED, BUT IT'S NOT TOO LATE
-- STAB STAB STAB
-- DAMN IT
-- "WHERE'S CLAIRE I NEED TO TELL HER ABOUT THE BABY"
-- GO FIND CLAIRE, KATE
-- DO IT NOW
-- "sup lol"
-- HAHAHA
-- "... I already talked, bitch."
-- "OK, I know we got off on the wrong stab ... *neck stab*"
-- "You ruined a perfectly good shirt."
-- "... Hello."
-- "Of course those smear campaigners would say that."
-- The worst part about this statement is that the scenario Evil!Locke proposes is actually fairly likely. That Dogan is a shady guy.
-- And now Evil!Locke is going to take Nadia's form and make out with Sayid for a while.
-- Have we seen Sayid's brother before? I have a god awful memory for these things.
-- "WHY DIDN'T YOU KILL HIM, JEEZ."
-- "Surprisingly enough, no, I wasn't captured."
-- YES YES YES YES YES
-- "YOU'RE THE ONE WHO NEEDS TO BE RESCUED, BECAUSE I'M GONNA KILL YOU, BITCH."
-- Claire needed to be way angrier there, and also not in a hole.
-- "I've got acid stashed in the basement!!"
-- "Return this to his chest, I mean."
-- "Let's fry an egg on your head, Sayid."
-- OH GOD, KEAMY, YUCK, GO AWAY
-- I don't want to hear about Keamy's eggs.
-- "I'm very happy to get this opportunity to get revenge for my alternate self!"
-- Alternate!Keamy is a loser.
-- Poor Sayid just cannot escape the violence.
-- Haha, what.
-- Man, Jin's life kind of sucks hard now, too.
-- "Well, dude, you're just that killable."
-- So many bargains flying around right now. The island is a giant 99 cent store.
-- Oh boy. Sayid's gone completely to the dark side now.
-- GO SMOKEY
-- GET KATE GET KATE
-- YEAH, GO GET CLAIRE, KATE
-- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT MILES
-- ... Whoa, they got here fast.
-- wtf hay ben
-- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SO CLOSE
-- Sayid has turned into a Shakespearean actor.
-- IF YOU KILL BEN, SAYID, I SWEAR
-- Ben's "... OK *backs away*" face needs to be .gif'd.
-- This is the saddest scene ever ... dead bodies strewn about everywhere ... Kate still alive ... damn it all ...
-- KATE'S JUST A TAGALONG, KILL HER
-- So, does Locke lead the Crips or the Bloods?
Wow, that was a pretty kickass episode. Sayid's off-island story really drives home a lot of the themes the series has built with him from the start, especially his struggle to be a truly "good" man who is tempted over and again to use violence. And I don't think anyone with a heart didn't feel a pang of sadness to see someone else raising a family with Nadia. The story on the island is similarly good ... the scene where Sayid speaks with Dogen, and then kills him and Lennon is tremendous. The best part about that is Sayid's sink into "evil" is very muddled -- he could be "infected", or he could just be a desperate, confused man who wants the woman he loves to return to his life ... a woman, by the way, who could have been saved by Jacob.
Once again I lament several opportunities that could have been used to kill Kate. Damn it all. So, so, so many missed opportunities. I was hoping beyond hope that Evil!Locke would kill Kate at the end, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. She had better die eventually. I will not stop complaining until this happens.
Speaking of complaining, MORE BEN PLEASE. His one appearance this week is hilarious, but I desperately need more Ben. Come on, Lost. If you're not going to give me a dead Kate, then at least give me more Ben. (It appears that next week's episode is a Ben episode, at least, which pleases me.)
