Didn't Rousseau catch "Henry" in one of her nets? I assumed that "that woman" was a reference to that.

Alex could be interesting. Anyone who apologizes before knocking you out I want to know more about.

Does the Hanso website www.letyourcompassguideyou.com do anything? I just get the compass needle swinging about, but I often have browser related difficulties with sites not behaving correctly.

I don't think taking the blood was a head game. If they're trying to make Michael believe that they're poorly armed and living in huts, why would they expose the fact that they have a blood lab?

This is part and parcel of the head game. They're poor, and living in tents, but have zip lock bags, and needles, and full names of a handful of Michael's cast-aways, and they don't want Walt to say anything, but they let him talk. Head games.

I'm not sure I understand your definition or the point of your "head games". Is it still a head game if they really wanted to test Michael's blood? Given Walt's special abilities, testing the dad's blood makes sense.

I'm not sure Walt has special abilities. There's a mechanasmokeasaurus and polar bears on that island. I think it's all head games, and by that, I'd say I meant 'psychological experiment' except I think that's too respectable a term.

But then why all the Hanso website and such?

The bird thing at his mother's house was just coincidence?

I do wonder if the astral projection (with Shannon) was actually Walt's abilities, or the Others fucking around with a hologram (or something). Because how else would they know?

No, it was leprechauns.

Michael never saw Walt when he was somewhere else, right? Just Shannon.

and Sayid.
