If she were, I think she wouldn't have cared about her baby (like how Claire abandoned Aaron).

Hmm, interesting, good point.

I was just following the equation that seemed to be laid out in the last 5 minutes of the ep. "If Claire=infected, and infected Claire=Rosseau appearance and paranoid island trigger traps, then Rosseau= infected."

But as you point out, probably erroneous.

Well, Rousseau had been living rough for a very long time. . .do you think that "infected" means possesssed by the Titus Welliver character?

Um, how insane is it to accept a lift from the person who taxi-jacked your cab and threatened you with a gun?

Anyone else think Claire coming up with Aaron is a bit of bleed through?

I thought so, too, Theo, but then I figured she was in a strange country with no money or phone and pregnant and desperate. I couldn't tell what kind of neighborhood she was in, if there was anyplace she could knock on to ask to call the police.

Naming Aaron Aaron was totally a bleed-through, and I love Cindy's theory that there is a paradox that is trying to fix itself with the two realities. I have this mental image of two cars speeding down a bumpy one-lane dirt road side-swiping each other.

Ethan Rom is creepy in either timeline.

Yeah, Ethan -- Do we know when he arrived at the island? I thought he was a lifer and so I was trying to figure out how he would exist in the non-Island timeline.

Jack and Kate also had a Meaningful Look.

He was born on the Island, but his dad, Horace, took him off as a baby on the sub that Juliet didn't get on. And then the Island sunk at some point.

Ahh -- So he left, but then came back at some point later?

I guess? I'm just going off what Alan Sepinwall said. I can't remember everyone's timelines!
