They're going to have to do a really good job to convince me how a group of middle class Americans/Australians can turn to feral dictatorship in under 2 months.

Hmmm. My point is that I think they've been regularly attacked by the Others for two months. I think members of their group have been repeatedly assaulted, kidnapped and murdered. And so any person they don't recognize, automatically assume it's an Other. Much like the Losters from Season 1, one of the Others may have even been pretending to be a survivor. So, I think Ana-Annoys-the-Crap-Out-of-Me has some sort of military background, or maybe she's a cop. Instead of a doctor becoming a sort of leader figure, she actually assumed command of a group of people that were being systematically reduced. The girl and Bernarnd weren't exactly Lord of the Flies insane; it was mostly Ana and the large black Dude who played Adebisis on Oz, and who will hopefully have a real name next week. His disposition was kind once he realized they really were fellow survivors.

So, bascially we've seen a group of survivors who had it pretty easy compared to the tail enders. If I were being regularly attacked, I'd become pretty friggin' paranoid and militant. And untrusting. So it's not really Lord of the Flies so much as they've had a MUCH harder time of it. I mean, 40 people can do a lot to help each other. But a handful of castaways? What if none of them knew how to hunt or identify poisonous berries. Heh.

It'll be interesting to see their flashbacks, and to see how they mix in with the rest of the survivors once they meet up.

As for the Others, they're island hillbillies!
