'Underneath'
Lost: OMGWTF POLAR BEAR
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Excellent. I was worried because with dial-up at home I always worry that my e-mail is a little bit hinky.

Perhaps Walt is already too old (past the age of the conscience developing) to have enough 'power' to be a kidnapping target.
Although he does seem to exert more control over their surroundings than anyone else from the plane crash, cf. the dice scene from the last ep, and the scene in ep. 3 where Michael promises he'll go look for Vincent as soon as it stops raining, and immediately it stops raining. Plus, the polar bear-->comic book connection.
Did anyone think it was very forboding foreshadowing when Kate told Shannon that Boone being with Locke made him safe?
Yeah, I definitely got that vibe.
le nubian, I'm intrigued by your tag. Does it have anything to do with the number of people on the island? I noticed a while ago it was 46, and then shortly after we met Crazy Rousseau, it was 47, and now it's 48, shortly after the introduction of Ethan as a non-plane crash person.
Kate,
ah yes! Good eyes. :-)
Also, we don't know that Ethan is a psycho. We know that he kidnapped people by force and hung one of them
I'd say that your second sentence proves that Ethan is a psycho. YPsychoMV.
Where's Hec? He has a DSM IV.

Yeah, revive the Batman argument. That always works.
Atkins! Seat belts! Prescriptivism!
t edit I have a DSM-IV here at work, but I'm also quite happy with my working definition of "psycho."
Y'all are assuming that Ethan has recognizable motives. If one of the main characters kidnapped someone and hung him or her, that character would be a psycho, because we've been made aware that they share common background, and therefore a common frame of reference on what is and is not socially and ethically acceptable behavior, with us. If Ethan is, say, of supernatural, extraterrestrial, or some other unforseen origin, he may be behaving in a way that is rational to him. We just don't know enough about who or what he is to throw around terms like "psycho."
Was the Terminator a psycho? Are cannibal cultures psycho? Are Hummer drivers psycho? (Well, ok, I'll give you that one.)
Relativist.
Taking a page from Richard Rorty, I prefer the term "non-essentialist."
