Smoke Monster is Hazardous to Your Health

Last night, Dogen (the bilingual Others leader) referred to Sayid as being “infected,” which sounds a whole lot like the Sickness that poisoned Rousseau’s team. Dogen later said Sayid had been “claimed,” that there was “a darkness growing in him” and it had happened to Claire as well.

Rousseau’s description made it sound like her team had gone kind of crazy, so she shot them. Dogen wanted to poison Sayid, but Jack saved his life – this could be bad news if Dogen is right. And we left Claire with Jin, which could put him in jeopardy, too.

The other question is whether the Sickness Sayid and Claire have is what Dharma was vaccinating their recruits against. It seems like it might be unrelated (can you vaccinate against the Smoke Monster?) but if it is unrelated, we need an explanation of that illness.
