Someone just mentioned this in the grading and discussion thread and I also read about it on another board recently. It is an interesting prospect that I had not thought about before. In the episode "Cabin Fever" Locke, Ben, and Hurley come upon the pit of bodies from the Purge. Locke sees Horace's jumpsuit and grabs the map from it. In this scene and in other scenes Locke notices that some of the suits seem to have bullet holes and there are guns nearby, which seems strange if they all died in the Purge.
So I was thinking, is it possible that the body in Horace's jumpsuit is Sayid? We know that he put on Horace's jumpsuit as he was trying to escape Dharmaville, and they seemed to make a point of showing us the name tag.
Someone mentioned that no, this had to be Horace's body because we know Horace died in the Purge. But do we really even know that those bodies are from the Purge? Locke assumes it and Ben does not seem to deny it (though I can't remember the exact dialogue so if anyone knows what Ben said please fill me in), but there is nothing that says these bodies HAVE to be from the Purge. Someone on another board suggested that these bodies are related to the Incident and other possible violence and shootings related to it, and this is why there were bullet holes.
So maybe they are still in 1977, or at least Sayid is, and they put his body there after he died from his gunshot wound. This of course relies on them having not changed the timeline and not returned to the present, so come the premiere next year I may be proven entirely wrong. But I think that it's an interesting theory.
