Message: <blockquote data-quote="LightPhoenix" data-source="post: 3389007" data-attributes="member: 115">I thought that as well initially, but it's really not in character for anyone to do that. While Kate and Sayid may have wanted him to do that, Locke wouldn't have gone along with it.  Locke doesn't listen to anyone but himself, especially when it comes to the faith stuff, so he certainly wouldn't take being sent home from his mission.  He's always seeking approval, he always needs to prove that he's right.  That's why Boone died, because Boone listened to Locke, but Locke doesn't really listen back.  That's probably why he's such a screw-up.Kate wouldn't have sent him back because Locke is on the same mission she is on - to save Jack.  That leaves Sayid, and he's too valuable a resource to let go.  You certainly can't sent Danielle either, she's on her mission to get Alex.  Kate won't go back herself, so she plows forward, bringing anyone that comes along.As an aside... the reason I don't like Kate is because she started out very cunning and strong.  The writers took her character and basically gutted it.  Now she's just stubborn and can't exist outside of Sawyer and Jack.  I blame the writers, for not knowing what to do with her, especially after the first season, other than play damsel for Jack and Sawyer in the triangle.  It's a travesty, because there aren't really any strong women on the show - Sun is pretty much the only one that fits the bill now.  Ana might have to, but the whole dead thing precludes that.So, Locke and Kate would not have sent anyone back.  Why wouldn't Sayid?  In short, he's the odd-man out, and he knows it.  Kate and Locke are a little off the deep end as far as wanting to storm the Others' camp and get back Jack, a group who has repeatedly kicked their butts both physically and mentally.  He could ask them to, but they won't listen.  His alternative is to go back himself, but right now I think he's basically playing babysitter, and making sure the Losties don't lose their only trackers.</blockquote>
