Walt's the annointed one.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
How come everyone is so sure those Deliverance boat-folk were the Others?
Well, I put it in my head that Rouseau's talk of The Others wanting to take "the boy." and the creepy pirate dudes saying, "we'll take the boy" that they were the others. Rousseau is the only one who calls them that, though, so, the label means precious little. "The Others" is not very descriptive of a hell of a lot.
I think they are more guerrilla type fighters than all out attack people though (to answer, why don't they just storm the beach) an all out attack could cost them more than they think they can afford. So they infiltrate with Ethan, who only attacks Charlie and Claire. They kill Scott, coming from the sea, all sneaky like. They wait until Walt and very few protectors are 15 miles away from backup and escape.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It looked to me like the person who threw whatever it was that blew up the raft was female, and therefore maybe Alex. Could anyone tell for sure?

Looked that way to me too, Perkins.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
A friend of mine thinks that Walt is just the latest in a series of young children stolen by the Others. We know of Alex, but Ethan could have been Alex's predecessor, and the line might stretch back further than that (maybe the slaves on the Black Rock included some children).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I liked the finale and Thin Red Line. I win!

Alex is a girl, though. Not that they necessarily knew that.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Maybe there aren't that many of them, and, while an all-out attack would work, there would be too much danger of one of them dying, whichis mroe than they can really afford.
I'm not convinced that Danielle isn't wrongfully grouping multiple groups into "the Others"

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I saw a female, but she looked to be older than 16.
