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.
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.
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.
I forgot tonight was a repeat. I am bummed.
Me, too. But, still. Lots of Sayid being tortured. Pretty!
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.
My only regret about the Rousseau sub-plot is that we haven't seen more yet. I can wait for the story to reveal, but I don't know if ABC will wait. I don't want to lose a show I enjoy. There are so few for me.
I'm watching the repeat because Sayid pretty.
She mentions something about the others being the "carriers". Carriers of what? Has this come up at all?
