I'm also betting the "sickness" that over-took Rousseau's party was mental. Remember, she never actually said it was a physical ailment, just a "sickness". Just like Leonard now has a "sickness".
Although, if Ethan was Rousseau's son (and they never made that clear, did they) or part of her group (though I AM pretty sure she said her son was the only one left), then the illness takes different forms, because if Ethan was mentally ill (not to start that argument again) he was ill in a much different way than Leonard.

That was merely a theory floated about. I have my doubts about that one.
I think that once you successfully login, it sets a cookie, so you don't have to log in again, unless you switch computers.
See this is the source of my puzzlement. In the two weeks since I got the new powerbook, I can guarantee to you that I had yet to visit the Chicago Tribune's website. Until last night.
I lurve that Sawyer was reading Wrinkle in Time and I'm going to scurry off to reread my copy in case there's anything relevant. It was a little mathy. Maybe they're going to tesseract themselves off the island.
Hee! That was my first thought too! "The episode is about numbers...WiT was mathy...TESSERACT OMG!"

Huh. I wonder if it works on other sites requiring a password? Maybe Apple is now shipping Powerbooks with some sort of double secret password avoidance algorithms installed.

Aha! That totally explains
Independence Day.

My new PowerBook 1.1 is so fabulously perfect (once we got past that icky memory slot issue with PB 1.0) that it would not surprise me at all.
...if Ethan was mentally ill (not to start that argument again)...
Not wanting to start the argument again neither but since I missed it, I'll add my 2c and then duck for cover: I'd call Ethan mentally ill the way any sociopath would be considered mentally ill. Whether it stems from the weird mojo of the island, or just from being alone for so long, or it's how he always was, is anybodies guess.
I first thought he was "Alex", Rousseau's "child" but then discounted it for two reasons: 1) b/c he looked too old; and 2) b/c we don't know if Alex is male or female but I'm guessing it will turn out to be female.
Hell, it might turn out that Claire is Rousseau's child. They made a reference to a problem with her mother but left it all deliberately vague as to the nature of the problem. In my warped mind, it's conceivable that the problem stems from her disappearing when she was a child.
Claire being Rousseau's child would be delicious.
We don't know that French Chick's team went crazy, just that she thought they were ill. She could have killed them while she was delusional.
Yeah, I'm happier if it's Rousseau's crazy making her think everyone else was crazy. 'Cause that's just upsetting.
And maybe explains why she liked Hurley. Sayid was just too rational for her.
Alternately, do you suppose Sawyer's got the Island Ick? He wasn't looking too healthy in the last ep. Always fun to let the least stable one with the hoard go over the edge.
