Don’t you mean Steve?
I will keep suspending disbelief until the episode where Sayid makes a telephone out of coconuts.
If and when he does… that will be the day I finally give up on Lost.

“It’s Arzt, you idiot!”

Or, it could be because such a scene would, in reality, have taken a long time, involved a lot of bickering, and been really boring. Thankfully, it’s a TV show, not reality, and they can cut to the chase.
If Sayid’s character had been written properly, he would have long since taken one of the sniper rifles, rained death and destruction over the whole island, located the radio tower and called in an extraction team; leaving all the other surviving hapless fucks to continue wandering around in a clueless fog for eternity.
Now if Chuck Norris had been one of the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815…! 
Sawyer snagged up with all the guns that one time, though that was part heist-part con.
Yeah, I just have come to accept that the writing is terrible.
Why worry about minor trifles like that when you have Swiss cheese for a plot?
Ah, but that just served to highlight the sinister backstory underpinning the entire affair. Although Gilligan was routinely set up as the patsy who spoils their plans, in truth it was the Professor (a man prepared for desert island survival and capable of improvising virtually any technological marvel from natural elements but who couldn’t figure out how to patch a 2’ square hole in the wooden hull of the S.S. Minnow) who always assigned him to a lynchpin role or otherwise saw to it that he’d be in the critical place to spoil plans of getting off the island.
Then there’s Fred MacMurray’s sociopathic serial killer in My Three Sons…
Stranger
If Sayid’s character had been written properly, he would come to my house and make passionate love to me all night long.
Um, that might not have been the sort of response you were looking for in this thread, though.
What if he wants your balls though?
Why would Sayid want Glassy balls? It’s not like he’s gonna put up a Christmas tree.
Is it truly “from the grave”, when in fact you are circulating around the island as microscopic particles? 
Well, if you fail him, he takes your balls. He has fancy shears for it any everything.
A sly reference to Planet Terror, which I just saw a couple of weeks ago.
