If there are really six Dharma stations, maybe the other three are located above ground, in plain view on the other side of that line Bluebeard told our guys not to cross.
If anybody had thought to either circumnavigate the island or even climb to the highest point to see if they are even on an island, they’d know a lot more wouldn’t they?
Watch out for Rousseau’s jungle traps if you do that…
watch out for Polar bears…
The point that various characters have made from time to time and everybody always forgets is that the island is, in fact, very very dangerous, particularly since it seems to be chock-full of cranky, hostile, armed people…
Yeah, what’s up with Locke? He used to be so, I don’t know, zen. If the Island is getting to him, is there hope for anyone?
While I enjoyed this episode, I think the plot was weak. Did Claire actually think she could march right into that bunker (which was, when she left, still occupied by people who wanted to cut her unborn child out of her) and take the vaccine? Gun or no gun I think it was a very stupid idea and highly unbeliveable to me. Why did she even think a vaccine that had been injected into her stomach would work to save her baby, and why not bring Jack (who knows about meds) rather than Kate?
This show is losing me.
I’m sure it was him, although beardless Bluebeard threw me for a loop for just a sec because I don’t think I’ve ever seen M.C. Gainey in anything where he was clean shaven. He’s always sported at least a moustache, and quite often a beard, too.
I don’t think there’s any reason to believe that she was the one who fired the gun, specifically. There were a whole bunch of Others out there in that confrontation in the woods, judging by the ring of torches. And we don’t even know that the “Bring her out, Alex!” was the same Alex as Danielle’s daughter, although that seems to be the insinuation. If it was, then why Kate is being restrained by a 16-year old girl, rather than one of the bigger guys… well, that one I don’t know…
Oooh, nice. I don’t think that variation of the episode 1x10 title had even occurred to me yet, although it should have.
Zeke == Bluebeard. It’s in the eyes. If I’m wrong, ban me from SDMB.
Is anyone doubting that the man on the boat, the man who warned Jack and the man in the hall talking to Ethan are same person?
They are all played by the same actor, and are the same character…
…unless he has an EVIL TWIN! :eek:
There seemed to be some confusion. I guess my time on SDMB is safe yet again.
Exactly. Maybe Locke did it deliberately, to try to get Henry to act up and split apart the Lostaways so they can out him as an Other?
Otherwise, that’s… really too freaking obvious.
By “circumnavigate the island” I meant; walk around the edge on the beach and see if you ended up where you started. You’d never go into a jungle.
I also noticed in the scenes for next episode, that for Locke the hatch is no longer “the hatch”… it’s “MY hatch”.
They have climbed to higher ground before (in the first two episodes) to try the radio transmission. Although I don’t think it was the highest point. One thing I’m interested in that has never come back up – Danielle long ago mentioned that there was a radio tower on the island (episode 1x18 “Numbers”), that it was up by the Black Rock. Well, the Dynamite Retrieval Team has been to the Black Rock, but we didn’t see any radio tower, and nobody has mentioned it since. Although maybe Hurley’s the only one (besides Danielle) who knows, because it was Hurley that she told. And we know how much these folks tell each other about what they’ve learned… 
Speaking of which, now I have a weird scene playing in my head…
Jack: What the heck are you talking about?
Bluebeard: Walt is not the issue here, Jack! This is about drawing a line, Jack, drawing a line in the sand, where YOU DO NOT CRO… also, Jack… “Others” is not the preferred nomenclature. It’s Island-American, please…
First thing I said to the girlfriend: Isn’t the only source of milk on the island about to go wandering unarmed through the jungle?
Sigh. They need someone to declare themselves dictator and punish stupidity.

Has anyone here read this week’s EntertainmentWeekly article speculating on Lost? It’s interesting …
If that was her…
Anyway, Sawyer was drawing a gun. If someone is drawing a gun at you, you’re going to shoot them, whether you wanted to or not to begin with.
Well you can be loyal to people without being able to stomache the idea of helping them kill an innocent…
Yeah, that was a reaaaaaally weak plot device. Out of character for Locke. Especially since Locke knows that the guy is smart, that he’ll lie, manipulate… and he fell for something easy and transparent?
I think they’re referring to the boat incident.
Well, there’s not any definite reason to believe that Alex was specifically on the boat, either. She certainly wasn’t one of the people in the forefront wielding guns (and now that we’ve seen a young teen who may be Alex, that wasn’t the same person as Molotov Cocktail Girl on the raft).
There’s reason to believe Alex may have been present at the confrontation in the woods (“Bring her out, Alex!”) – but again, I doubt she was the shooter who grazed Sawyer when he pulled his gun.
Can’t non-post-pregnancy women be induced to lactate?
I said the same thing. What was Sun going to feed him? They don’t have any formula, or even bottles, if Claire had been able to pump some breast milk. She had no idea how long she’d be gone.
Anyone? Anyone?
As someone who is neither female, pregnant, nor post-pregnant, I’m not the one to ask.

I know what you mean. Mrs.Flex has a husband for that. :rolleyes:
(and a TiVo)
Regarding Alex shooting at Sawyer (or anyone), I’m sure she would do it if the adults told her to. That’s called self-preservation. What a minor does in the presence of authority figures is not necessarily what they would choose to do on their own.
