Sundown (Spring BREAK)

It's been so long since my last post!
My friend(not really) called me a dead beat blogger so I have to update.
Just kidding, she really is my friend.
Hello Ross, lol.
Anyways, lets get on to the important stuff.
You know what im talking about.
What we have all been waiting for.
....
LOST!
That's right.
Hold your applause people.

I am not gonna talk about previous weeks, because I can not catch up.
Too much happens in one episode, so its really hard.
I apologize.
But, I will talk about this week's (yesterday's) episode: Sundown.

Lets start with some background.
This being a Sayid-centered episode, we should start with our favorite torturer himself.
Sayid Jarrah.
He was seemingly dead in the season opener after suffering from a gun shot wound that carried all the way from last season.
He was taken to the Temple, as instructed to Hurley by Jacob, where they "drowned him" trying to save his life.
Ironic?
I don't know.
Whatever their intention may have been in doing that, he was killed.
Then, he woke up.
Leaving every Lost fan, mouth gaping and wondering "WTF?!"
Well, in this episode Sayid is wondering the same thing.
As Miles said "You were dead for two hours. They were just as surprised as we were when you sat up."
On top of that, the leader of the temple attempted to have Jack poison Sayid (read previous post).
Sayid was not only angry, but completely confused.
Meanwhile, in real time or the alternative universe, Sayid is taking his trip to see Nadia.
Only this time, Nadia is married to his brother with two children, though it is apparent to everyone (even the children and her husband) that the two of them are in love.
Eventually Nadia asks Sayid why he pushed her toward his brother, and he said "I don't deserve you" =[ Poor Sayid!

Sayid goes to see Dogen(leader of the temple thingy) and asks him why he thinks he is evil.
Proclaiming he is a "good man".
Dogen doesn't buy this sad story and they go into a full out Kill Bill-esque fight scene, where Dogen has Sayid by the neck but releases him when he sees his baseball fall on the floor.
We'll get back to that.
He then proceeds to banish Sayid from the temple when a suspicious looking Claire walks inside on a mission from The Man In Black/Smoke Monster/Locke.
Lets call him Not Locke, just for my amusement.
So, Not Locke wants Claire to deliver a message because he himself cannot go into the Temple.
Claire tells Dogen that Fake Locke wants to talk to him outside the gate, Dogen refuses claiming he is not a fool, and reclaims Sayid to do his dirty work.
He tells Sayid to prove that he is a good man and kill Fake Locke as soon as he sees him in the forest.
He tells him Not Locke is "Evil Incarnate"
Sayid agrees, I assume hoping to regain some credibility.
Kate returns to the Temple and hears that Claire is being held in 'the hole' which is literally a hole in the ground.
Kate goes to Claire, tells her she has raised Aaron, and Claire(getting all scary) kind of grunts then smiles.
In the last episode, she told Jin if Kate did have her baby she would kill her.
Scary, much?

In the alternate universe, Sayid's brother Omar makes a bad business decision and borrows money from a man (who turns out to be Keamy the mercenary who was out for Ben's head from season....3). Omar asks for Sayid's help, saying he knows what he did in the war and "what kind of man" he is. Sayid refuses, offering money instead.
Sayid just can't seem to shake that bad boy rep.
Ah, the casualties of war.
Anyway, Omar gets "mugged" by Keamy's guys and Nadia, realizing the situation, tells Sayid not to react.
Of course, Sayid listened, UNTIL Keamy's guys threatened his niece and nephew.
They kidnapped, for lack of a better word, Sayid and told him someone is gonna pay his money back.
Sayid, effortlessly, killed both of Keamy's guards and as Keamy begged for his life ("The debt is forgive. Lets just forget this") Sayid does what feels natural: "I can't" He says, and BANG BANG. Kills him dead.
Needless to say, this episode was action packed.

Meanwhile, on the Island Sayid sees Not Locke in the forest in stabs him on sight.
However, Not Locke removes the knife and says "Shame on you" for doing Dogen's bidding.
Dogen, only wanting to get Sayid killed, was not to be trusted in Not Locke's eyes.
Not Locke tells Sayid he wants him to deliver a message and that he will give him anything in the world if he chooses to side with him.
Sayid tells him what he wanted, died in his arms (Nadia, some two seasons ago).
Locke tells him he can have it (meaning her) too.

Sayid goes back to the Temple and tells everyone in a loud voice that Not Locke was leaving the Island at sundown because Jacob was dead and if they wanted to come they would meet him.
Then Sayid goes to see Dogen to "return his knife."
Dogen, suprised to see Sayid alive, tells him that he used to be a business man and that Jacob saved his son(junior baseball player) from a terrible drunk driving accident involving himself, but the only trick was that Dogen had to take his place on the Island in a new job.
He then asks Sayid if he will stay(in the temple) or go (with Not Locke).
Sayid tells him he would like to stay, then throws him in the pool he was drowned in and kills him.
See? Action packed.
Then Dogen's apprentice guy goes off on a rant saying "That was the only thing keeping it out(Smoke Monster?)" but is then killed by Sayid ruthlessly.

After a while the Smoke Monster(who is really Not Locke) raids the place, killing everyone in his path.
Kate goes to find Claire who tells her she will be safer in the hole.
Ilana enters with Lepidus, Ben, and Sun who helps Miles escape.
Ben, however, goes to find Sayid (heroically, I might add. Pretty out of character.) but Sayid tells him there is no time left for him.

Finally, Kate, Claire, and Sayid along with some others who joined Not Locke before sundown head out on a mission that I am still a little foggy about.
So that was Lost.

I'm so glad that the Oscars are over spring break so that I can enjoy them just a little bit more.
