It was at least implied. Maybe it was supposed to be. But bronze cuckoos are little and brown, and the dead brd was big and black with red wingtips. Whatever. But they should've known there was going to be at least one geek like me who immediately looked up "bronze cuckoo" and said, "Hey!..."
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

How long do you give it until the less-sane LoTRips people have a hate community up for her?
You say that as if it didn't already spring up within ten minutes of the rumors first breaking.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I've been thinking about this "backlash" thing. My understanding of why the castaways weren't looking for Claire is because I believe Jack and Kate think that looking for Claire is what got Charlie nearly permanently dead.
So in my view, it would be difficult to look for Claire without endangering the other 45.
I thought it was pretty powerful how they wrote in Charlie's reaction to Claire missing. To me that was indicative that folks were still thinking about her.
As a viewer of "American Idol", these first few eps were bullshit and not very engaging (worse than usual). If people missed "Special" though, they missed one of the better "Lost" eps.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
BTW, Claire told Charlie that the other castaways were looking at her with apprehension because she was pregnant and they all knew this would be some kind of complication. So the lack of others talking about her could also be an indication that there is some relief that she's missing...however horrible that may be.

Punishingly Intricate
I just wish they had addressed whatever was going on with not looking for Claire.

I agree le nub. This mixed with the survivor guilt.
It's a fine balance to strike. It wouldn't be as dramatic if Claire were found or reappeared too quickly, and it would be boring if they spent a couple episodes of frantic Claire searching. I'm satisfied that she was not forgotten. They may even address the whole why we weren't searching non-stop issue now that she has returned.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
So, am I the only one who just doesn't like Rousseau and her whole sub-plot? I mean, I like the idea, but I don't like her character as portrayed.
