Sayid didn't murder anybody in that scene. He shot three criminals who were threatening his life after they kidnapped him and threatened his family. Pretty clear case of self defense.
very well, i retract "triple murder" and replace with "triple killing", with supplemental winky happy face. still sounds like a rough life, regardless of emoticon.
I realize this is supposition on my part (which is of course half the appeal of Lost-trying to guess what's happening) and that is why I originally said "arguably" happier and not "definitely" happier.
ironically taking this to g-man-response-level extremes, i wasn't debating so much that you were being non-factual, but moreso that you were making assumptions on things we almost literally have no idea about. it's like making assumptions during the third episode of the first season; you can guess what the "jungle monster" could be, but you can't assume claire will have a healthy baby then in earth 1 anymore than you could now in earth 2.
