tiggy,
when I watched the show again, the man didn't look like Ethan to me. Not the same nose or face. Jack was tired (no sleep), exhausted, probably dehydrated and he was flashing back to the past and they way his father killed the pregnant woman.
Why would he blame the husband for the death of his wife?
Jack has daddy issues and sees daddy everywhere.
So he's not going to let another pregnant patient die or have the baby harmed because he failed to do something.
That's how I took it, too.
t Snuggles up with Tep.
Cool, I'm in good company.
Just rewatched, I can confirm that definitely wasn't Mapother as the bereaved husband.
Okay. Caught up now. Totally knew Charlie wasn't dead, because I'd read ita's lj cut-tag text re: this show not written by Minear. But I still put my hand up to my mouth during the fake-out. Just generally? Don't like seeing people hung.
Nothing like a little post-coita...err, -torture conversation to make a man into a confidant. That is to say, theirloveissopure. In addition to "Sayid is back" and "I kept your fires burning" the slash just splashes up on this little island, doesn't it?
Now. What was Ethan's motivation in insinuating himself into the plane crash line-up? When did it happen? What benefit did he gain, and did he finish with whatever he wanted to do by the time he was outed? (Further, I was a little disappointed that it was him not on the manifest. Woulda been nicer if it wasn't. Maybe it wasn't! Maybe it's still Sawyer-Mr.-It's-Stupid-To-Change-My-Name!)
Love Hurley. He's totally a multimillionaire, and I finally care about his backstory beyond just liking the character.
Still liking Locke, too. The running-running-running scene made me revise my opinion on him a little, because I was started to get a little ancy about him, what with the turning up in pregnant women's dreams and all. His reaction shot to Sayid's pronouncement made me feel like he already knew they were not alone, but the running made me think maybe not.
So maybe he's only a little possessed? Possessed some of the time?
Oh, and what's with him handing out knives like candy?
Lots of spares. I think he has one for every crash survivor, with leftovers.
Has anyone commented on Walt's extreme backgammon luck? IIRC, someone had an idea about him having some sort of special access to the *island's power* what ever it really is. Perhaps this was a little bit of it showing through?
