Sayid (Naveen Andrews) is a nice guy who does not so nice things.  Even though all of the characters on the show are complicated he certainly deserves a chapter unto himself.  When you think about his character he represents a great deal of what is good.  He is a loving, devoted partner and good friend willing to help out.  On the other end, he will put a bullet through your temple or rip out your fingernails (ouch).

One of the best episodes was the one that explored how easy it is for him to take a life.  For him, it started all the way back in childhood when he had to kill the chicken when the other boy couldn’t.  From then on the tone was set for him.  He seems somewhat reluctant to use his skills, but deep down he seems to have this sense that it is sometimes necessary.

I think what will be interesting is how the Island will judge him.  Everyone seems to have some good or bad in them.  He certainly wants to do the right thing.  His methods may be suspect.
