If I hadn’t ruined it for myself (damn you, lostpedia!!) I would have been surprised to find out Sayid was the fourth member of the Oceanic Six. But when I think about it I’ve always known he would be one of the few to get off the island. And he’s definitely my top choice for people I’d stick with if I were one of the castaways, so no surprise, really more like an affirmation. But still, there’s something inherently sad about him now. Just like Hurley before him, and Jack before them, I am deeply upset with the state of Sayid in the future. Whatever happens to make him side with Ben is yet another future mystery to add to the ever-growing pile. He seems trapped though. I feel like there must be a part of him that doesn’t want to be doing what he’s doing. I guess that was symbolized through his relationship with the lady he ended up killing. He’s a romantic. He always has been and he probably always will be. It is comforting to know he has a much better grasp on reality than either Future Jack or Future Hurley.
I love that he’s an assassin! Finally his brilliant and deft skills are being used to their full potential, trotting around the globe with gun in hand, eliminating threats to humanity. Now if someone could just teach him how NOT to have girl hair.
