Lost

[katiesue]

If the the people on the list of Tailies abducted by the Others were on there because they were "good", perhaps none of the other group (except Walt) have been abducted because they're not "good"?

If the Others planted a spy in the Tailies is there one in the other group? Also how did they plant one so quickly? Did they know the plane would crash and where?

Where did Desmond go? He ran out of the bunker weeks ago and nada.

How come Hurley (and the rest for that matter except maybe Locke) have lost zippo weight on the island?

Where are the Others keeping the boat they used to abduct Walt? Does that mean they have the ability to leave the island?? It was a decent sized boat. And speaking of boats - what about Desmond's boat?

Why did Mr. Eko not talk for 40 days after he killed the Others? Religion? He told Ana-Lucia that he was talking again because 40 days had passed.

Yes... it was Ethan (I think that was his name) and they killed him, didn't they?

We don't know if Ethan was an other. It has never been established.

We know the SOS recording was looping for 16 years and we can go from that that Danielle has been on the island for 16 years as well.

Yet maybe the recording hasn't been going for 16 years. Maybe it was set up by the Others. Do we even know fore sure that Danielle isn't an Other? Do we know how long her team was there before the Others showed up? They planted one spy they may have planted more.

How long ago did Dharma set up shop on the island?

Betty and Sca,
In Season 1 Hurley went through the manifest with the Beachies and everyone except Ethan was on it.

Yes, but was he an other, or was he working with Danielle? Remember, Claire remembered that she had to scratch Danielle to escape. Why would Ethan, as an other, bring Claire to Danielle?

I'm starting to think Danielle is an Other. If she didn't start as one she became one.

Humm. I wonder if the Others are like the Borg.

Ethan Rom = Other Man
(It's a puzzle on the Oceanic Airlines website)

That was the best Lost episode ever.

I am no huge Ana-Lucia fan , but the episode was simply incredible. Tension, humor, emotions all over the spectrum. The writing and score were (as is typical, but more so) simply amazing.

The final scene with Ana Lucia and Sayid. Sayid carrying Shannon. Eko and Jack. Jack and Kate. Kate and Sawyer. Bernard and Rose. Jin and Sun.

There were no others, no monster, no new mystery, no old one solved....simply superb writing, acting, directing, story telling.

Definitely my favorite episode of the best series on TV.

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.

I have a feeling there are lots of groups on this island.

It'd be funny if they actually got the actors to lose weight...but as anyone who watches Survivor can attest, a truly deserted person starts to look really thin really quickly. If they've hit day 48 and everyone's still plump, it wouldn't make any sense to make them start losing weight now - the illusion is already blown. Whatever, we just have to pretend.
