Skipped a bit, but will go back and read because, damn, this is good. I just feeling a burning need to tell everyone I LOVE THIS SHOW. It
almost
makes up for the
Serenity
and
The Insider
delays. I must say, not a bad substitute for Joss and Tim.
Now heading back to work, and thence to catch up.

Pretty much everyone at work knows that Wednesday nights are sacred. They must think I'm nuts for getting so involved in this show but I don't care.
Sekrit message to libkitty:
I've finished typing eps 5,6 & 7. I know you haven't taped the episodes. Would you like me to email you the scripts I have done while we wait for them to be posted?
I just want to make sure everyone can share in love of
Lost.
:)
Especially given that female screams heard by Jack before his strange encounter with Ethan.
I have a feeling that the screams he heard were sort of like the sound of ice clinking in a glass that he heard when the body of his dad walked past his campfire that one night.
Nora, I'll respond to you tonight when I get home. If for some reason I forget, prompt me the next time you run across me on the boards (especially if it's tonight).

Then again, if he hadn't, Charlie would be dead for real.
I dunno. Ethan said that they may not have hung Charlie if Jack hadn't insisted on forging ahead. We don't really have any evidence that he was lying about that.

So, Jack hears dead people?

Yup, Charlie was probably there to buy escape time in either of two ways- either Jack does what Ethan says and stops with the following, or Charlie is hung, ensuring that anyone following would stop and take the time to get him down.

Good point. So going on ahead was
really
a bad idea then.

Except the fact that he's *psycho* and really? Why else did he take Charlie? If he was important to have, Jack and Kate following wouldn't have sealed his fate. No, Charlie was there as a ruse, and the bandages were planted to make the searchers follow Ethan, while others dragged Claire off the other way.
Charlie was marked for bait the moment Ethan showed up at the end of the previous episode. The main logical course of action (albieit clouded by insanity) was to use him as bait, then use him to demoralize the pursuers. Ethen chose to "warn" Jack with the express purpose of following through and "picking" Charlie. He thought they would still think Claire was with and once Charlie was discovered, they would be slowed down and then stopped.
I also think Ethan didn't care if Charlie lived or died. If he wanted him dead, he would have snapped his neck or killed him and left him on the trail dead by some other way. But no, he hung the limp Charlie from a low-ish hanging wad of vines and took off. He knew Charlie could die, he just didn't give a damn. His plan was distraction and demoralization.
