I'm going on the assumption that he's human and psycho.
Bacteria ways are not our ways, my friend.
I'm suddenly picturing the assassin from "What's My Line" -- the dude who was actually just a conglomeration of bugs.

I'm not convinced that Ethan or anyone else actually attacked Claire at the campsite, even though she obviously was right to be worried. The lack of physical evidence, or of anyone being seen running away from her when those 140 decibel screams started, makes me think she was just dreaming (albeit potentiously).

I'm not convinced, either, Matt.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I think she was dreaming, too, though significantly.
Speaking of intelligent bacterial conglomerations, does anyone else remember a show called The Burning Zone ? In the first episode, the villian was revealed to be a sentient virus, its consciousness spread across its many little viral bodies. It was cool and spooky.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Did anyone think it was very forboding foreshadowing when Kate told Shannon that Boone being with Locke made him safe?
That and the redshirt discussion in the same episode makes even more forboding.
On the other hand, Locke's comment about Kirk being a crappy captain may mean he'll pull Boone out of the line of fire, as it were.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
On the other hand, Locke's comment about Kirk being a crappy captain may mean he'll pull Boone out of the line of fire, as it were.
Here's the thing I thought was interesting about that. Locke makes a point about how Kirk is a crappy captain for letting his minions get killed in a variety of interesting ways. Locke later shows great concern for Boone's safety, telling him to head back before it gets dark. Then, when Locke "feels something", he couldn't give a crap about Boone's safety. Go back down the boulder-strewn hill in total darkness, don't let the razor-sharp rocks kick you in the arse on the way down.

It's so difficult to say -- is this a "Lost" story or an "Angel" story -- but here is a story about JJ Abrams bringing Angel writers to "Lost" and "Alias".

It's kind of nice to enjoy a genre show that is this popular.
ABC's Lost hit its highest Nielsen numbers to date on Dec. 8, becoming the night's most-watched program with an average of 18.9 million viewers and a 7.0 rating/19 share in the adults 18-49 demographic, according to The Hollywood Reporter

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'd say that your second sentence proves that Ethan is a psycho. YPsychoMV.
Where's Hec? He has a DSM IV.

"Eh, what?"
Yeah, revive the Batman argument. That always works.
As Mr. Nora notes, not enough evidence in yet on Ethan's psychosity. I'm willing to hear more about this bacterial colony theory, however. It intrigues me.

Then, when Locke "feels something", he couldn't give a crap about Boone's safety. Go back down the boulder-strewn hill in total darkness, don't let the razor-sharp rocks kick you in the arse on the way down.
Except that when he could not convince Boone to go back, Locke accepted his decision and let him continue. After Dark, Boone did want to go back, Locke then again accepted Boone's decision, and tossed him the flashlight, which would help him notice the redshirt flags.
It is not Boone's safety he couldn't give a crap about. If anything, it's his own. But even then, he has proven himself to be capable of taking care of himself.
