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.

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.

I loved that she had a gun on him until he had the big freakout over everyone thinking he was crazy, and then it was all "Mon frere!"

Yeah, it was a great moment.

I also love that the trend continues (okay, so two times does not a trend create) that everyone creates all this drama around something, and Hurley just walks up and asks the person for the thing, and they say, okay, here.

My favorite is still the look on Sayid's face when Hurley said, "She says hey."

I know - I half expected him to do a Looney Tunes headshake and make the "aghahdaghahdaghahda" sound.
