Ethan seems too old to be any sort of child of Danielle's.
What if the "psychic" is actually knew the plane was going to crash because he's part of a conspiracy to bring folks to the island?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I liked his idea. I was glad someone was doing it. I also loved the objection to it, 'cause you know I'd be stranded on a desert island and would refuse to surrender my social security number (okay, not that he was asking for that, but still).
I would be really pissed if a psychic sent me on a doomed flight so my baby could be eaten by jungle monsters and/or feral adult children of crazy Frenchwomen.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Great fucking episode. I love Hurley more and more, and I'm glad he got to deliver the HSQ of the night. And Claire's story? Fairly mundane but still interesting, perhaps carried by the acting. The psychic part is pretty cool, though now I'm even more afraid for Claire. Because they can't bring up this bit about the baby having to be raised by Claire and then...have it be raised by Claire. I hope the dinosaur doesn't eat her, but maybe Locke will steal the baby so Walt can have a sibling. Or Danielle will steal it to replace Alex. Or maybe Wesley will steal it cause he does that sort of thing.
That final act with the Sayid running and the gasping and the Claire and Charlie being lost and the Hurley arriving and the music being all ding thump ding ding ding ding was the most suspenseful thing I've seen in a while.

A psychic told you to be on this plane? Geeze, that's funny... a psychic told me that, too....

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
"Child" like Frankenstein's monster child?
Possibly. Or he could have started off as her ordinary child and then something unspeakable happened to him on the island to make him into... whatever he is now. The guy's what, in his mid 20's? Probably not quite thirty at most. So he must have been something like 8-14 when the ship crashed on the island. A susceptible age.
Going back to The Stand analogy, maybe Ethan's the Randall Flagg figure, not Locke as we wondered. Locke will possibly serve as his instrument. And Claire's child is going to be The One Who Will Save Us from Evil. 'Cause no genre show is complete without a Miracle Child.
Edited because "with" and "without" are like, totally opposite things.

He could be a vampire.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Huh, maybe the island is in a Hell Dimension. Maybe it's Qortoth Island?

Because books.
maybe Wesley will steal it cause he does that sort of thing.
