Maria, thanks for the new thread!

Maybe Naveen put them in front of a choice, give me something to do or wrap up Sayid's story and I'm off. I can see him doing something like that, actually. And I don't blame him, quite the contrary.
But I also understand why Josh might not have said anything so far: he doesn't have a movie career to fall back into, or expand, he's moving his first steps with the big screen and 'Whisper' wasn't exactly a lucky move. Also, Sawyer has been hugely featured in S3 while Sayid's suffered both in S2 and S3, and then there has been the strike which messed up soem things, both for the show and perhaps even for Josh (in case he was in talk for some project).

Not saying he is doing a wise thing in case he doesn't speak his mind with the producers, but I can actually see why after only 8 bad episodes he is still holding hope onto the following ones... that's basically what we are all doing before labelling S4 as the crappiest season so far, lol.

And I'm with Misty: I can't see how so many people among the cast, the fans and the media in general can say this season is great. They have often made caricatures out of the characters to advance the plot, and ignored their emotional condition to deliver random scenes. We still have no idea who the Others were and what's going on with the island, the "amazing twists" were pure meh stuff and only Sayid and Desmond haven't been humiliated, one way or the other, in the first 8 episodes. But above all, how can you compare this season to S1, which was 100% character development and paid enourmous attention to the relationships and interaction between the characters.

Misty, thanks for posting the alternate promotional photos.

Looks to me like among those variations, they chose the less flattering one for Sayid as the official shot.
