And not only did his brother steal his girl, he also borrowed some money from a few no-goodnicks (i.e. Keamy!).  Keamy and Gang roughed up Sayid&#8217;s bro, Nadia begged Sayid not to retaliate, and he didn&#8217;t &#8211; for like 10 whole minutes!  Then Keamy&#8217;s lackies kidnapped Sayid to try and get him to repay his brother&#8217;s debts, only Sayid&#8217;s &#8220;survival skills&#8221; kicked in and he shot them all to death!  And then he randomly found a tied-up Jin in a walk-in freezer!<\/p>\n<p>On the island, Dogen asked Sayid to kill Mocke, whom Dogen referred to as &#8220;evil incarnate.&#8221;  The only problem was that when Sayid did as Dogen asked and stabbed Mocke, nothing happened!  That is, nothing happened apart from Mocke telling Sayid he could bring Nadia back to life if he just did him this one teeny favor &#8211; go back to the temple, tell the people there that it was Mocke&#8217;s way or the highway, and then kill Dogen.  Which Sayid did, no problemo.  So basically all the Others could join up with Mocke or get Smoked Out, and unfortunately most of them seemed to choose the latter and ended up being bloody corpses.  Luckily for Kate, Claire was on Team Smokey, and she kept her safe during the rampage, despite apparently wanting to tear Kate&#8217;s still-beating heart out of her chest!  And then Ilana and Crew showed up and hid in some secret passageway in the temple, so Smokey didn&#8217;t get them.  Yet.<\/p>\n<p>So in a nutshell, Sayid has totally gone to the dark side, Claire is even creepier than we could have ever imagined, Keamy is a dick in any dimension, and Smokey is seemingly indestructible, but has no problem destroying everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>Not too many theory-type questions to come out of this episode, but&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>1. How awesome was slo-mo Mocke at the end?  (Terry O&#8217;Quinn is TEARING IT UP this season!!) And the creepy &#8220;Catch a Falling Star&#8221; song over the crazy death scene? Amazing.<br \/>\n2. Claire is SO CRAZY, right?  Why do you think she protected Kate?  Don&#8217;t you think she would have just let Smokey get her?<br \/>\n3. Sayid.  So evil.  It sucks that his old self is gone, but evil looks good on him, I think.<br \/>\n4. What was Jin doing in the freezer?  And what did he have to do with Keamy?<br \/>\n5. Is Dogen really gone?  (I doubt it.)<br \/>\n6. What is the deal with Ilana?  How does she always know what to do?<br \/>\n7. Can ANYTHING hurt Mocke?  Is he really evil incarnate?  Can he really grant people&#8217;s wishes, or was all that talk just to bring people to the Dark Side?  Where is he leading everyone, and why does every living thing on the island need to die if he&#8217;s leaving?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all I&#8217;ve got for now, I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll be adding to this as I think of more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Public Service Announcement:<\/strong> Before anyone leaves another &#8220;BOO WE NEED ANSWERS&#8221; comment, guys?  Just enjoy the ride.  The show&#8217;s almost over, your biggest questions will get answered, and I&#8217;m sure it will be awesome.  They aren&#8217;t giving us a rundown of every answer ever because that would make bad TV.  They need to stretch it out.  They are <em>showing<\/em>, not <em>telling<\/em>.  If being patient&#8217;s not your thing, wait 3 months and then watch them all in a row.  But if you&#8217;re going to stick it out, enjoy it while it lasts!  We only have 3 months left!! ;_;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WARNING: THE FOLLOWING POST CONTAINS SPOILERS FROM THE LATEST EPISODE OF LOST.
