The weapon Ethan was using was defintely a sling.
Honestly, I was more surprised with Jack beating Ethan in a hand to hand fight considering how easy Ethan kicked the crap out of him the first time and the whole crazy strong lift a grown (if wee) man off the ground by his throat with one hand thing than Charlie's shooting ability.
beathen, Javi confirmed at the fuselage that the saftey deposit box number was supposed to be 815. i think somebody mentioned there was another 815 SO in this week's episode. oh yeah! the copier model.
Is anyone else wondering if Ethan actually approached from the sea for Scott's murder, or if Locke was just covering up for Boone's ineptitude?

If I were Ethan, I would have gone in the water as far as possible, or maybe used those rocks. However, even then I still don't get what Scott (or was it Steve) was doing *alone* when everyone knew they were going to be attacked in some form that night. I suppose he could have been sleeping on the edge or something, but it's hard to believe.
Well his neck, arms, finger, etc were broken. Maybe the Invismechazilla stomped him.
I think the dog was all that was happening in Boone's direction. From my vague recollection of the geography, coming at Scott from Boone's direction -- well, first, why not kill Boone, and secondly he'd have to walk through most everyone to get to him.
Yeah, it was just the dog -- because whoever killed Scott came from the ocean.
You know, according to Locke.
Maybe Vincent is in cahoots with Ethan. His arrival did pull Sayid and Locke, who are arguably the most capable fighters, away from the others.
Along the lines of the in-cahoots theory, I think it's possible that Locke was in with Ethan, and allowed the perimeter to be breached, by knowing that the sea was exposed. The SO disagrees, because of his later behavior, but Locke was the one who was trying to make sure that Ethan didn't get killed, only captured. The SO thinks that if he were, he would have let Ethan know what was going on, so he wouldn't have walked into a trap. I'm not so sure.
Also, where were the Others? Did Ethan really come in for his victim without any help at all?
