They should have left Sayid awesome this season and it would have made his death have an emotional impact.

What was scary about Sayid ever since his resurrection WAS his blankness. A couple episodes ago he had some scene with Flocke or somebody, and I turned to the girls and yelled, "How is he doing that??" It's the creepy
emptiness he's had that's been scary about him. I actually wasn't all that impressed by Naveen Anderson's acting until this season--to be able to just turn off all affect like that really takes talent.
My problem with his death is that it was a sacrifice in the name of saving the last candidate, which shows a bit of humanity that I really didn't want him to be capable of at this point.
The Qwons are still alive in the alt-timeline. Which I suspect will be left as the real timeline, and the island and everything and everyone on it will be the side branch of time. So they're fine. I think we need to be prepared for more candidate deaths--the one left alive on the island becomes NewJacob. That's my working theory anyway.
