True - but it doesn't mean he was an other.

I do not think Danielle is an other. Her motivations do not seem to be "other like".

Ethan took Claire. Very other like. Danielle is related to that in some way - remember the scratches on her arm and remembrance of doing that to Danielle?

I do not think Danielle would have been in a position to infiltrate the others to free Claire. I do not think Danielle is an other and was in on the capture of Claire. If Danielle could not have infiltrated the others to free Claire, but is not an other herself, then Ethan is not an other.

This has been my thinking.

However, after seeing Goodwin in action, I have changed my thinking to that Ethan is most likely an other. There are a lot of similarities between Ethan and Goodwin in mannerisms, knowledge, brutality, and infiltration techniques.

But that leaves me with the hole of Danielle being involved some way with Claire (as is evidenced by the scratches on her arm). Ethan took Claire, and I don't think Danielle is an other. But again, it's hard for me to see how Danielle is able to free Claire from the others.
