23 Questions About Lost Episode 606 'Sundown', Answered!

Are Evil Sayid and Bad Claire gonna do it?

Yup. The great thing about Smokey's army of darkness is that no one's all hung up on monogamy. Everyone can be with whomever they want. Sure, sometimes feelings get hurt, and maybe Smokey will passive-aggressively whirl himself into a smog-tornado outside their tent while they get it on, but the next morning, cooler heads prevail, and everyone is evil-friends again.

What kind of a loan shark demands interest payments in perpetuity even after the debt's been paid off?

Why would you ever trust a guy who shot Ben Linus' daughter in the head right before his eyes? That happened in another timeline, but still. This is obviously a shady dude.

Why was Jin in the fridge?

Not only does Keamy run a successful, if morally suspect, loan-sharking business, but he has a black-market restaurant that specializes in sashimi made of Korean businessmen. Gotta keep the product fresh, especially at $50,000 per human-omakase seating.

Why did plunging the Blade of Smokey-Stabbing into Smokey's gut not kill him?

Dogen told Sayid not to let Smokey speak before the stabbing, but he still managed a "What's up, Sayid?" before he could drive the knife home. Clever smoke monster! (There are very specific rules that need to be obeyed to the letter for these enchanted murder implements to work.) Also, the whole thing was pretty clearly another needlessly convoluted set-up, wherein Dogen sent Sayid to be murdered by Smokey during his own botched murder attempt, allowing Dogen to get back to badgering Lennon about how Harrison's Ravi-Shankar-tutored sitar work helped raise everyone's musical game.

But isn't pissing off Evil Sayid like that just going to turn him to Smokey's side, who'll send him back half-cocked to kill the Temple Keeper, opening up the once-unbreachable sanctuary to a full-on Smoke Monster massacre?

Dogen probably should not have pursued that Master's Degree at the Jack Shephard School of Disastrous, If Well-Intentioned, Decision Making. Hindsight, etc etc.

Are Dogen and Lennon really dead?

Sayid did kill them in the Temple's Miracle Jacuzzi, so it's possible its burbling, filthy water still has enough residual Jacob-essence in it to resurrect them. But they're probably really dead-dead, not Evil-Sayid-dead. There are only ten episodes left, we're running out of time for more reincarnation shenanigans.

Can someone check in on Sawyer? It's been two weeks now.

He's fine. He found Ben's secret cache of Cure records, so he'll be moping out his grief just a little while longer.

Do you think Sayid would be a good stand-up comedian?

No.

If the Lost characters were cast in the upcoming Gilligan's Island movie remake, how might that look?

Hurley = Gilligan

Jack = The Skipper

Kate = Mary Anne

Locke = The Professor

Juliet = Ginger

Jin and Sun = The Howells

Sawyer = Wisecracking special guest-star Don Rickles

The original seven-castaway format really doesn't leave a lot of room for Lost's densely populated universe (squeezing Sawyer in there was cheating), but we bet we could find spots for Charlie, Claire, Ben, and a bunch of our favorite Others by having the survivors of S.S. Minnow Voyage 815 discover the boat's stern section, and maybe throw in some kind of secret WWII bunker. (Where a mysterious Scottish guy has to relight tiki torches every 108 minutes or some life-sustaining orange trees will die.)

But no time-travel, we promise.
