Maybe there's only one boy in all the world who has the power to break the island's spell.

If the island is feeding Locke prescient visions, it might be doing the same for the Others and directing their hunt for new blood.

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.
Question--do we know that the boat people who took Walt are really the Others? Maybe they're just working for the Others/listening to the voices that belong to The Others/just plain old pirates sailing the South Sea.
On Kimmel last night Harold Perrineau and Jorge Garcia repeatedly referred to the people on the boat as "the Others."

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I missed it. Did anyone post what happened in "the secret scene"?

Conservative, n. A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal, who wishes to replace them with others. -Bierce
Does anyone else feel that the others are infected in a way similar to Locke's faith?
That they are doing the island's bidding, and Locke was grabbed by underground Mechasaur because Jack has decided that Locke is dangerous. Mechasaur delivers Locke to the others, and gives Walt a friendly face, a (somewhat implausible) reason to stay once the others grab him.
If the island has a master, then he might place a boat and some fuel in the hands of his followers. It looked small enough to have been the ship's boat from Delenn's expedition.
Captain Deliverance seemed willing to just ask for the boy, and quite good-humored about the whole crash/stranded thing. If Locke spent ten years out in the woods, I think he would grab a kid for "fate".

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
On Kimmel last night Harold Perrineau and Jorge Garcia repeatedly referred to the people on the boat as "the Others."
Are you sure they were referring to "the Others" and not "the others"?

All is well that ends in pizza.
AnthonyDe also asked why the black smoke, i.e. why would the Others make it known they were coming? Which is a good fucking question. Unless it's something as simple as a marker *for* the Others, i.e. we're heading out in the Incredibly! Convenient! Boat, we'll make a fire on the beach, and we'll know where to land when we get back.
The more I think about it, of course, the more the Others are bothering me. Because, hell, they had guns, and whatever was in that bottle that blew up the raft. They couldn't have stormed the beach and taken Walt whenever they wanted? Especially since every night, most people were sleeping?
Lets see.
They have at least one advantage: the boat. They can come by sea. That's probably how they got Scott (engine off). Coming through the jungle they can be tracked. So they've been watching. Maybe even sending prople in to help with the boat.
Waiting. Waiting for their chance to get Walt.
The fire? Maybe it was actually a means by which to spook the raft crew into running scared.
"Perfect." Says the leader of the great unwashed deliverence rejects, "We have them now. He will be ours."
And they did. And they do.

Did anyone notice that Hurley sped by a group of cheerleaders with the numbers on their sweaters?
