Did Hurley (Hugo -- hee!) actually say who the passenger not on the manifest was?
Definitely not. Because I was paying attention for it, and he didn't - they cut back to Claire and Charlie before he said who it was.
Dawn: I feel safe with you. Spike: Take that back!

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I have 2 theories on the psychic:
Or, option #3. He knew the plane would crash and Claire would survive AND be kidnapped by the Creepy!Ethan and his brood of wrong-haired polar-bear insurrectionists or something, and made sure he delivered Claire to their hands. It all depends on 1) just how friggin' good a psychic was he? and 2) which side is the dude on, fer crying out loud? And I suspect we won't get an answer to either questions soon, if ever.
Man, I don't think I can wait a whole another week to see how this goes down.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
And we also didn't see Locke on the plane.
Yes, we did. He was sitting right behind Rose(?), the woman who was sitting opposite Jack in the very first episode.

The internets swoon. Claire does not. Feh.
Heh.
Also, I have to rewatch. I must've been multi-tasking or something, because I missed Sawyer's sunglasses.

So the psychic was saying the flight number and not the time when he was repeating eight fifteen? That makes more sense than what I was thinking. It reminded me so strongly of Sun being told when the car would pick her up that I got confused.

Terry O'Quinn's distinctive looking, and he's been in so many shows I've watched that he's easily recognizable amidst a sea of extras.

From cleolinda's recap:
"I can tell you--this is important. It is crucial that YOU raise this child. The father of his child will play no part. This child [cannot be] parented by anyone else--danger surrounds this baby. Your aura, your spirit, your goodness must be an influence." [...] "The baby needs your protection!"
Hmm. I thought the psychic was saying that the baby itself is evil, so Claire needs to raise it because she is the magical embodiment of all that is pure and good in this world. But maybe he was just saying that the baby is in grave danger and will die without her? But then I don't think that he would have been so scarily persistent about it. I got the feeling, from the fact that he kept calling her all the time for MONTHS, that he was worried about more than just the baby's fate--I thought that he was worried that the baby would turn out to be evil and dangerous without Claire's influence, and would end up like starting a nuclear holocaust or something.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Yeah, I got the same vibe, Kate. Not that the baby was in danger, but that unless Claire raised it it would be dangerous.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
Usually, I'm all, "Eh. Let the TiVo get it," but this show has turned into an appointment TV in the old, pre-DVR sense of the word.
Wrod. I tape them every week. I don’t think I could wait until the DVD’s come out.
Oh, yeah, and it was another eye episode. Is there any discernable pattern? 'Cause we overanalyze like that.
Helps put focus on the person, not the action of island and being stranded?
Okay, so: was Claire actually imagining it all, or was she actually being attacked? Was Ethan maybe doing something to her in her sleep?
Maybe Ethan’s been doing something to her in her sleep when she didn’t wake up to cause the dreams. The first time she woke up screaming, I thought it was an island/drug induced dream controlled by the island. The second time, I thought Ethan really was doing something to her.
If there were someone/something on the island that would bring out the Essence of Evil in the baby, then why would the psychic have sent her there? Gah.
Agent of the First? Wolfram & Hart lackey?
No doubt the physic was driven to get her on the plane, but I am not convinced he knew what would happen. At all.
Maybe there’s some entity forcing him.
From Cleolinda:
Claire is sitting in a giant plush lawyer's office (the office interior is plush, not the lawyer. No one would ever hire, you know, Tickle Me Attorney or anything).
This made me laugh
