He does have a lot of work to do, but I think that he's come a long, long way from season one Sawyer. He and Hurley, as JB has pointed out, have been friends for a long time now and the teasing of Hurley has stopped. It's always in a friendly manner now.

Yes, but we were only given a 'snapshot' of Pickett..had we only been treated to a 'snapshot' of Sawyer, then he been shown for the racist, homaphobe and quite frankly vile person that he is. Oh, and let's not forget selfish bully
You see, Sawyer has had more time to show us his 'light and shade', if you will..yet even with his recent "heroics", he's been shown to be the same old selfish and brutal Sawyer. Let's not forget, this is a man who wanted to do a "Keamy" a few hours ago - this is a man who wanted to Execute a man in front of his watching daughter because he couldn't take a dose of sarcasm! This is a man who DID do a Keamy a few days ago, when he brutally executed Tom after the man had surrendered.
I submit that Sawyer is infact
worse than Keamy, since at least Keamy offered a man the opportunity to 'surrender' - did Sawyer accept Tom's surrender? Hell no..
I just think we need a lil perspective here - sawyer did some good things in this episode, but he is still one of Lost's biggests wretches, if not the biggest (and i include Keamy in that, after some thought about Sawyer's crimes).
I disagree Beachington's - Sawyer and Hugo haven't been friends for a long time (imo) - for one thing, it was only about 4 weeks ago that Hugo (of all people) resorted to lashing out against Sawyer, because he was traumatised by his constant bullying and belittling. It wasn't so long ago that Sawyer executed a treefrog right in front of Hugo, just because he could..just because he wanted to bully him. Sorry, but i don't call a friend someone who that person names and bully's them. It's like Sawyer is exacting one rule for himself and one for everyone else - i.e it's ok if
he bully's Hugo, but heaven forbid anyone lay a hand on his curly little head
I don't believe that Sawyer has that right, i don't believe he has the right to change his colours as often as he changes his nicknames.
Also, i really disagree that his teasing of Hugo is now "friendly" - there is nothing friendly about calling someone 'tub of lard' and things which he knows is associated with Hugo's fragile self-image. Sawyer knows peoples weakness and he attacks them. Wearing a smile and racially abusing someone isn't acceptable, so why is this any different. Just because Hugo's too weak to tell him to stop, doesn't make it right. Imagine if someone kept abusing you - would you consider that person a 'friend'?
Clearly we disagree here, but i think these points need to be addressed and considered before we falsely offer praise to ford..
