Possible he's got it changed legally? Or just that he's got travel documents under it?
If he's been running cons for that long, chances are he's got fake IDS, maybe more than one set.
we must either take him seriously and at his word, or not
I feel like we're supposed to take him at his word, because he didn't play the run-of-the-mill "only happy news" psychic. Also the point of view wasn't only Claire's in those scenes -- the camera very pointedly focused on him during the readings, not just on Claire's reaction to him.
A psychic just looking to read for money probably won't spend much time calling in the middle of the night, either.
if everyone's names were supposedly on that roster does that mean that Sawyer told Hurley his real name? and if not, i'd say that brings up an interesting quandary.
Ooh! Ooh! Maybe Hurley thinks that
Sawyer's
the odd man out! I mean, Ethan could have gotten the name of one of the dead passengers pretty easily, from papers in a pocket or a wallet or whatever, and then if Sawyer used his real name on the flight roster, but didn't tell it to Hurley, and then they'll all be even more suspicious of him... okay, so he probably used a fake ID (somehow, I can't see him going so far as to legally change his name to Sawyer), but I like my pet theory very much.
But Hurley would have to think that, if Sawyer's name wasn't on that flight roster, there's no way he would have handed it over so easily.
Aw crap, there goes my theory.
(Please, can't someone help me with a tape? I'm spoiled enough to know exactly what I missed, and it's driving me maaaad.)
Alas, Jessica- I have no tape. I gave the VCR to my parents.
Is there any chance they're going to rebroadcast this, or next, Saturday? I haven't been taping, but I'm starting to think I might.
Is there another new episode next week?
Also, whoever decided that Paris Hilton is one of the most fascinating people of 2004 should be shot.

I thought the same thing. I'M more fascinating than Paris Hilton, and I'm sitting home alone in my flannel pjs, unshowered, watching CSI.
