I'm thinking that Rousseau wasn't involved with Ethan and maybe was scratched when she rescued Claire. This was before she heard the voices about the boy. She may have been trying to save Claire from the same loss she endured. Until she thought she could make a deal with the dark side of course.

The others were um odd.

I've only seen parts of the movie, but the Others reminded me of a Deliverence type thing. You think someone is there to be a normal, helpful person and then the world shifts drastically.

I just can't quite get a handle about what The Others' plan was, aside from moving the plot along, and what Rousseau was doing and why.

Then I realized that I was watching an Abrams show and it's probably not best to get emotionally involved in things like continuity or logic.

I caught some of the numbers, but I totally missed the significance of the girls number shirts!!! (I had a friend over and we squeed a lot. Okay, a whole lot.)

That was my thought, too. My problem is that the Black Rock is way too intact to have been sitting out in a jungle in the weather for more than a hundred years.

Only one thing can reply to such logic:

"Are you on the same island as I am?"

ABC Good Morning America just showed a cut scene from last night's Lost.

Does that qualify for non-spoilerfont?

how far into the broadcast was that? we set up to tape. Is it toward the end of the show? (judging looking at your time stamp)

I would think you wouldn't have to white font it Daniel, which means you actually should white font it, as my judgment on these things is pants.

I don't know but I want to dl it somewhere - no way was I going to tape all of Crap Morning America just to get one scene that they cut to make room for more commercials!

Not to be nitpicky, but

He took half from one seat and the other half from the other seat.

won't work for airplane seatbelts. If you take the stretchy half from the righthand seat, it'll only come over to midway or so in the lefthand seat. He definitely needed the extender. That gave me more of a "You've GOT to be kidding me!" moment than almost anything else, but I have issues. I definitely sympathized with the humiliation factor of having to buy two seats, and that bitchy ticket agent threatening to weigh him was...grrrrrr, don't get me started. That's why I don't fly Southwest, and wouldn't even if I weighed 100 pounds soaking wet.

Wasnt't Sayid also not supposed to be on the plane? He bought a last-minute ticket onto Flight 815, didn't he?
