I have such a soft spot for that guy after the way he portrayed Merry Brandybuck so well in the Lord of the Rings movies. He also seems like a real nice guy with a real, honest interest in the environment and environmentalism. Where ever he is right now and whatever he's doing, I wish him all the best.

KATE: What we're doing -- chasing some phantom distress signal -- what are the odds of this working?
SAYID: No worse than the odds of us surviving that plane crash.
KATE: People survive plane crashes all the time.
SAYID: Not like this one. The tail section broke off while we were still in the air. Our section cart wheeled through the jungle and yet we escaped with nothing but a few scrapes. How do you explain that?
KATE: Blind, dumb luck?
SAYID: No one's that lucky. We shouldn't have survived.
KATE: Sorry Sayid, some things just happen, no rhyme, no reason.
We shouldn't have survived. But they did. Why? And how? We know Desmond's fumbling with the button made the plane crash, but how is it that they didn't all die? Did something happen with time/space? Was there some kind of funny business there: looping, splitting into alternative timelines/universes or was it just that "the island wouldn't let them die"? I wonder. Which is pretty much all any of us can do until the show decides to answer the questions. Gah!
