Shipper Love for Sayid and Nadia
We know that their relationship is doomed to be cut tragically short when Nadia is murdered less than a year after she and Sayid find each other again, but I try not to dwell on that.
Sayid and Nadia didn’t have it easy from the beginning. It was his job to torture her when she was captured by the Iraqi Republican Guard, then to execute her. But he couldn’t pull the trigger on her. Instead, he killed his fellow soldiers and shot himself in the leg so that she could escape. She made it to the United States, where she had a brief encounter with John Locke. Sayid was on his way to see her, he believed, when Oceanic Flight 815 changed his plans by crashing on the island.
I loved the scene in “There’s No Place Like Home” where she waited for him outside the press conference. What a kiss! What a homecoming!
And even though Hurley’s parents chose an unfortunate surprise birthday party theme, Sayid and Nadia look so happy together as guests. How much longer do they have, at that time, before she gets run down by the car in Los Angeles? Never mind. I want to remember them happy:
