I have to disagree about Sayid. He represented 50% of the man candy on Lost, and now poor Sawyer will have to shoulder that responsibility all on his own. Jack is not a man, he’s a little girl. The only way the writers can redeem themselves, in my opinion, is if Sawyer spends the next two episodes completely nekkid. Maybe then I’ll forgive them.
The Sun and Jin part was definitely bittersweet, and followed way too close to them finally being reunited. However, it was a nice and tidy way to wrap up the mystery of which of them was the “candidate.” Now there’s no need for anyone to figure it out. I’d rather they’d killed off Jack and Claire, just because Jack always annoys me and Crazy Clair is a bit creepy.
