I liked how they handled Sayid's death. Let's face it, he's been pretty much a loner through the entire run of the series. His only emotiional connection was to Nadia, and she had already died. Sayid's always been a no-nonsense, take charge type of guy, and that's exactly what he did to the very end...I didn't need to see any slow motion running with haunting music, I much preferred seeing the cool, take-charge Sayid make his presence known one last time, and go out a hero.
