I do worry at this 'brave' light that Sawyer's act seems to be viewed in. The more I think about it, the more it seems self-interested, as opposed to brave. Sawyer wants to be the martyr, he wants to be the "Charlie" and he's literally trying to buy the martyr ticket. Bravery is doing something self sacrificing..not self-serving. If i was in a car that I knew was going to crash in 5 minutes, and I jumped out..would I be 'brave'? Heck no, deep down I'd know that I did what was right for me. But there you go

I see no indication that Sawyer wants to be the martyr and play "Charlie". What would cause you to feel that way exactly? I believe he was self-sacrificing as you say. He seemed awfully happy to get on that chopper and escape that island. How do we know that Clementine and Cass were not on his mind that whole time? Sawyer was clearly happy to leave until he realized that the chopper would go down. There was nothing that happened during that scene to make one think that he was being selfish. Its not like he was watching Jack and Kate kiss before he jumped.
He thought of his girls before he jumped and could have been thinking of them the whole time. If he was playing the martyr, I would think he would have wanted everyone on the chopper to hear his pleas for them and not just Kate.
And also, I don't think Sawyer "knew" the chopper was going to crash after he jumped. He jumped so that it would not crash remember? Oh and Roc
lol nice try but your jumping out of that said car would not have any impact on whether it crashed or not.
