That’s only true if he was working alone. If he was part of a group (the others?), that storyline could still be resolved, without the need for zombies.
I have to believe that Ethan is not alone. As Charlie said after his hanging rescue: “They only wanted Claire.”
WARNING: The following unfit for any rational mind. You have been warned.
"It’s the story, of a man named Ethan
who was living on an island in the sea
he was wanting
a pregnant woman
but was he all alone.
It’s the story, of a girl named Cla-air,
who crashed on this island, as well
She survived with about 40 others,
the youngest one was Walt.
Till the one day that the lady met this fellow
and he knew that he couldn’t leave her behind
he took her to a secret locale
and she escaped but lost her freakin’ mind"
I have a feeling I’m going to be doing new theme songs for Lost all day…
"Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,
a tale of fateful trip
that started from Austalia, aboard this great big plane.
The Doc was a mighty healing man
Hurley big and fat
more passengers took off that day for a (insert flight time) hour flight
a (flight time) hour flight
crash
The ride, it started getting rough
the mighty plane broke up
If not for an incredible stroke of luck
the people would be squished
the people would be squished
the middle crashed land
on the shore of this uncharted jungle isle
with Sawyer
and Katie too
The Korean guy
and his wife
The music star
The new dad and
his son Walt
Here on Mysterious Isle"
I don’t know, but I’d be willing to pay money to see him try. He can pull of charming and assholish so well, don’t you think?
Odinoneye, I bow in honor of your talent.
Now do it to the theme of Friends.
Actually, I halfway expect this to actually happen, but not as a zombie — more that one of the island’s secrets turns out to center on experiments in cloning. It’d certainly be a great shocking cliffhanger for another Ethan to loom out of the forest and shock the piss out of Charlie, wouldn’t it?
No – I think we’ll still find out. I’m pretty sure Ethan’s not the only one – he’s just the “Other” that infiltrated their little survivor group. But when the Others find out he’s not coming back, the proveribial fecal matter might just impact with the rotating cooling device.
If anyone has a copy of the episode where Boone flashback’s to his visit to his sis in Australia:
when he’s in the police station, trying to get the cop’s help, we see Sawyer being dragged in behind them. I remember him being distraught. What was he yelling? If he was being processed for his alleged murder of the shrimp guy, how did he wind up on a plane out of the country? Or was he at the police station for some other reason?
Sawyer: "… (something rather faint)… minding my own business… this guy (can’t tell)… his bottle, I just gave it back to him! And yo, croc hunter! How come nobody wants to hear MY side of the story, huh? "
That’s the most I could make out. Sounds like he was dragged in for brawling – probably hit somebody with a bottle, judging from his comments in this scene.
I don’t think he was dragged in for that murder – no indication that anybody caught him on that one. Sounded more like bar fight.
Who was the dark haired guy helping Michael build the raft? It wasn’t Boone’s Farm was it?
I liked the way the writers seemed to be linking the people on tthe island closer together this ep. Not just the backstory linkings. But the interactions, friendships, putting up with each other type of linking. Bodes well for something realy bad to happen soon.
So speaking of linking…
Who will Kate end up in the sack with first? Jack or Sawyer? (or both at once? :eek: )
HURLEY!
“I get cramps.”
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude…
I noticed the open-to-the-left, open-to-the-right, discrepancy as well. I wonder if the editors screwed up some reverse-camera stuff - right-hand-drive Aussie cars, etc. Anybody want to review tapes and check Sawyer’s hair, wristwatch, etc to see if that’s the case?
And another thing - boars wouldn’t be native to a really isolated island in the south pacific - they would have to be introduced by (presumably European) explorers.
And yet another thing - the “golf course” would be head-high in grass unless there were grazers around - antelope, bison, reindeer, wildebeests - which would seem to have been discovered by the survivors by now. And boars are not grass-eaters.
Note: on these last two items I will give the writers a pass on creative license.
Neither would polar bears.
Doesn’t have to be European. Wikipedia.
And regarding loose ends, which I brought up. Yes, the hatch is still unanswered, along with a slew of other things, but I’ firmly convinced that it will be resolved. It’s another question if the answer will be satisfactory.
The full quote was, “It’ll come back around.” Most tellingly, these were the very last words of the man Sawyer wrongly killed. The kind of thing that’d stick out in your mind, if you suddenly realized you killed an innocent person. These words were first heard by Sawyer when 1) he heard whispering in the jungle while he was chasing after the boar that night night, and 2) after he recovered the tarp, just before the boar struck and 3) again while he dreaming of his daddy’s suicide that morphed into his daddy’s boots suddenly changing into the boar.
Is there some sort of island-induced pattern to these whisperings? Were they random, directed or triggered? Is it significant that, except in the flashback, the boar was there each time he heard the words?
I was also thinking about the parallels between Jack’s situation and Sawyer’s. Jack had a dad who thought he was great and he sent him to “hell.” Sawyer’s killed his mom and himself while Sawyer was hiding under a bed.
That kind of event leads to complicated emotions, I suppose.
Also, was there anything to Dr. Shepherd’s comments about hell? Someone once posited (ok, it was me!) that in the purgatory theory (put forth by many others) there were two seperate forces at work pulling people to heaven and hell.
Was this a hint, or just good dialogue?
I think it was a hint. I’ve been partial to the Purgatory theory since day one.
I hope you (and the others who replied) are right. I need to have my faith restored.
