Sayid's Mission

Sayid is locked in a jail mistakenly taken as a "Hostile" and remains in silence. The young Ben brings sandwiches for Sayid and asks him to take him to the Hostiles. When Sawyer advises him to tell that he had deserted the opponent group, Sayid does not accept his suggestion and tells that he has discovered that he has a mission in the island. When Ben releases Sayid from the jail, he accomplishes his assignment.

"He's Our You" is another silly and inconsistent episode about Sayid in the island and before taking the doomed flight. Things happen in the past and people do not have recollections in the future and the only way that the writers found to distract the viewers from this flaw is the discussion between Hurley and Miles about this subject. The conclusion is the best that this show can offer, with Sayid killing Ben. My vote is five.
