Well, you have to look at the flow of the ep, too. When she first locked him in there, he was pretty vocal about his objection. Then we skip a couple of days. How long should he have been begging and pleading? I don't think I'd have been after a day or two - why waste breath?

When he was thrown in he said "Let me out." Not "I didnt' do it" or "I was on the plane!" They did not show him denying it enough. Obviously it was done this way so that the viewers would agree with Ana. I think it made it less believable.

She was tough and loud before the real trouble even started, and instead of discussing things, she barks condescendingly.

She also threw an innocent man in a pit and starved him for days, and shot at a moving blur in the bushes that ended up being an innocent person. I'm sure she had some horrible past but that's only an explanation for the fact that she's a dangerous jerk.

I thought they were trying to make it look like he was an Other to throw the viewers off of Goodwin be an Other. But, being somewhat conspiratorial, I suspected he was an other when he was making the fire so efficiently.

But I do wonder....was he really in the Peace Corps? Does that somehow come into play, or was it just a cover story.

You didn't hear him screaming let me out of here? The camera wasn't on him but you could hear him screaming.

I agree. And you can't really say that she is the reason they are still alive since the true Other was with the group. Of course he was until she killed him.

Yup, that she did. But being in that situation, tormented by the Others, seeing the kids kidnapped, hearing unaudiable voices but not seeing the people and knowing that there are people out there who are trying to cause you harm would make people do very irrational and stupid things. After knowing how the Others snuck up on the beach and overpowered the Tailies like they did I can't really blame her for shooting first. I think this episode tried to make AL a sympathic character and at least for me it worked; to a point.

Like I said, that's all he said. He did not deny anything.

Good point. I somehow missed that before. I'm sorry.

But Sawyer, Jin & Michael wern't yelling to get out either when they got dumped into the pit.

And honestly who can remember who is sitting around them on a plane that size? Most people don't pay much attention except for the people next to you and maybe across the isle. And it sort of made sense that he had some tummy problems keeping him the the bathroom the whole flight and the two missing hours off the beach.

(and why did they kill off all the cute Tailies?)

Ah, but those three thought the Tailies were actually Others. They didn't expect humane or reasonable treatment from them.

Good catch!
