I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

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.

Strawberry disappointment.

Well his neck, arms, finger, etc were broken. Maybe the Invismechazilla stomped him.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

Art Crawl!!!

Yeah, it was just the dog -- because whoever killed Scott came from the ocean.

You know, according to Locke.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

thanks tiggy!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

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?

Maybe killing Boone as he slumped over there sleeping for hours on end struck Ethan as too easy?

I wish it had been someone besides SuperJack that brought Ethan down and beat him up when Claire started screaming for help. Sayid or Locke would have been fine, and Kate superb (Hey, she knows pistol-whipping technique!) given the increasing tinges of chauvanism they're injecting into his character.
