Every time I see a clip of Sayid being carried from the water in the temple, it reminds me of Jesus on the cross. He is holding his arms very rigidly. Jesus was resurrected and so was Sayid. However, he was resurrected with the 'devil' in him...

Until last night I thought that both sides could have good and evil in them, making this war have a lot of gray areas. But although Jacob manipulates people, MIB lies to them. He seems much darker and evil than Jacob's touchy-feely machinations. Here are how the teams seem to be shaping up:

Team Jacob: Hurley, Shepard, Alana, Frank, Sun, Ben?

Team FLocke: Claire, Sayid, Sawyer

so how will Kate fit in with FLocke? I like whomever said that Kate will cause problems for FLocke. Jin is in Claire's camp so he may end up on the opposite side from Sun, but he hasn't made a deal with FLocke - yet.

I am starting to think that these flash sideways are just a story telling mechanism (or filler) until the finale. This is what happened after the bomb detonated but something else bigger is going to happen on the island that will alter their destinies once again.

At this point doesn't it have to be Widmore & Co. who is coming to the island? There isn't enough storytelling time left for it to be anyone else.
