Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maybe the amnesia is consistent.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Due to Walt's apparent ability on the island, I suppose it's possible that any contact with Ethan's group, assuming there are others on the island, would cause the crash survivors to lose some memory. Charlie couldn't remember what happened after he and Claire encountered Ethan and Claire was with Ethan longer. She might have even been dragged off to the "black rock" and who knows what kind of mystic powers that place might have - it might be the cause of her not remembering anything in her whole time on the island.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Bugger. I hate amnesia storylines. This is just a way to add dramatic tension by making her forget her blooming feelings for Charlie, I bet.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

In the case of Charlie, we can chalk it up to brain damage secondary to being briefly dead. That kind of memory loss actually makes sense, as long as it doesn't all come back to him suddenly, at a dramatic moment.

I don't know how they're going to avoid the eye-roller when dealing with Claire.

I don't know how they're going to avoid the eye-roller when dealing with Claire.

Well maybe there's a connection between Ben and Glory ?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I'm convinced that Claire's amnesia is related to whatever stress she's been under. I hope her memory comes back but she was having vivid nightmares and was a little frantic before the kidnapping so this may have all come together as a serious mental breakdown.

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

So, Frank, you're saying Ethan is subletting from Danielle?

Of course we are. Do you have any idea what the street value is of the pile of snow outside my window?
