Lazarus Girl's dad Claire's psychic
Ooooooooooh, good call. I totally missed that.
IIRC though, his whole thing with Claire was that he really saw something, and it freaked his shit right out.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Meh.
I'm not altogether happy with Ecko deciding that pushing the button is important after all. It doesn't feel right to me.I agree.
I'm also really ready for the monster from the premiere to come back and eat Jack like it did Weiss. Good gods, what a whiny little prat he is.I don't agree. I have to go sit in the I-like-Jack corner, now. It's such a lonely spot.
I thought the Lazarus Girl's father was Rose's healer, not Claire's psychic. I delete Lost from TiVo after I watch it though, so I can't check the old ones. Darn.

No, because Rose's healer was Scorpius - and that wasn't Scorpius. Was it? (Surely, I would have recognized him the second time!)

Who is Scorpius?

That's my recollection too.

Rose's healer was Wayne Pygram, though, and that wasn't Scorpy talking to Eko.

Yeah, Rose's healer was Scorpius -- not a chance in the world I'd miss that reappearance!

A character from FARSCAPE played by Wayne Pygram. Without the Scopry makeup, he looks a bit like Patrick Stewart.
ETA - didn't Hurley go see some psychic in Oz as well?

Also, the healer guy was all the way out in bugfuckville and hard to get an appointment with, and all that stuff. I think Eko and Rose were seeing their mystical people at around the same time, and the surrounding landscape didn't match.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
It was definitely Claire's psychic.

Yes, this. But, since he's an admitted charlatan, there's no reason he couldn't have been faking all of that, knowing it's how he'd get Claire to believe him. He certainly could have been hired by Dharma. Remember, we have only seen him in flashbacks. They would be from Claire's POV. If he fooled her, it makes sense that he would seem authentic to us.
Oh, and per imdb, the character's name is Richard Malkin (actor: Nick Jameson) and yes, was Claire's psychic.
