What the shit is up with Sayid? This whole suddenly evil thing is bothering me. Before I could justify it as the Man in Black giving him an offer he couldn't refuse (bringing back Nadia), but the way he sat there and didn't give a shit when Kate was attacked felt really wrong. What happened to him when he died?

It's because both Sayid and Claire are infected.

Infected with what?

I'm convinced that Dogen was talking in riddles.

A machine that tests how evil you are? That would be retarded. Lost's writers are better than that. I think Dogen just wanted to get him killed because he didn't like the fact that Sayid came back to life.

As I said to Dylan today:


I believe Jacob's touch makes them incapable of dying. Think about it. Jacob physically touched each person at some point to be a 'candidate', and while his touch may not have physically brought them to the Island, it made it sure they would survive until the candidacy was complete. It would explain how Locke survived his fall, Charlie survived OD's, they all survived the Plane crash, and can go through physically traumatic things on the Island and seem to always be okay. Only when their candidacy is removed, are they then not protected by 'the gift' given to them - alluded to by Richard.
