Excellent episode!I can't even begin to guess what is up with Ethan. Those sneaky Canadians! So now the other question is what is up with Claire's baby? Is this baby suspectable to evil? Where would that come from? Will the baby's father somehow have more of a backstory as well? Or was the psychic somehow "told" by the "others" on the island they need a baby and to send one on the next shipment and that was just a way for him to scare her onto the plane? What was up with Locke's creepy look when Sayid came back? Theories people! I need theories! Holiday Gift from Surveysez Bounce courtesy of IceCat

It would almost be too easy to say Ethan kidnapped them. Too obvious for the way this show has been going. I wouldn't be surprised if the find Ethan lying in the jungle, maybe knocked over the head with something falling from a tree, a branch or who knows what, or even punched out by someone. It's just too 'plain out in the open' to fit with the writing so far. .... but then again, this would be a good time for the writers to fool us with a completely obvious clue, just to keep us confused in future episodes

>What was up with Locke's creepy >look when Sayid came back? ....Locke is still in the dark about the whole French woman thing. Remember, the ones who heard the distress signal decided to not tell the others. Locke has been a little suspicious since a few episodes ago when someone (forgot the details of the scene) inadvertantly said something about frenchie and Locke caught it. So Locke definitely knows that they are hiding something, he's just not sure what it is.
So don't take the simple fact that I think Shakes is godlike to mean that I think he isn't an ass. -Samiam 10/12/04

"It is amazing how this show really is straight forward but it is my own imagination that fills in other things and sees what it wants to see!"Heh, to be honest, I think that is what everyone is doing. I tend to see it as very straightforward. People say things like, "With this show, you never know but that Locke might be an alien from space!" (exageration) but within its own context, I think everything is very simple. They're not really using that kind of twisted trickery on the show, in my opinion. A J Slice siggy

11. "Ack!" |
You must be pissed! I'm sure you'll be able to find out everything from summary soon but here's a small one from this episode:Claire has nightmares, remembers breaking up with father on her child, almost giving kid up for adoption. A psychic tells her SHE has to raise the baby or horrible things will happen. Tells her to go to LA to give to a couple there, but she realizes now was just a ploy to get her onto the flight of crashed plane. She thinks she's been attacked in the night, Charlie taking care of her, Jack doesn't believe her. Hurley takes "census" of all survivors. Charlie and Hurley meet Ethan Rom from Ontario. Claire decides to go live on beach as she doesn't feel safe at caves. Charlie goes after her. She has some labour pains. Charlie sends Ethan to get Jack. Sayid returns to caves. Tells everyone he found the french woman and "we are NOT ALONE". Hurley comes running in, tells Jack that Ethan WAS NOT ON THE PLANE! Claire and Charlie head back to caves. Ethan appears, looking psychotic and evil, blocking their path. End. Really creepy, scary episode. Keep your eye on the ball!

Awesome episode. I really like the way things are going - so many possibilities! Locke is freaking me out - though I always thought he was creepy. And I just knew Ethan was gonna be a bad guy.There are a TON of cool theories floating around out there...there's a site called The Fuselage which is sponsored by JJ Abrams - one of the interesting theories floating around out there is *SPOILERS BELOW*
* * * * * * * * * * * * taken from the message board at fuselage... Ethan Rom = Ethan Frome - F E (French Experiment) Seriously, though, you can rearrange "Ethan Rom" to spell "Other Man." He is one of the "Others," and he was on a mission to get Claire and her baby. The Others will be the dark side that will battle and try to convert the light side, which are the 46 (for the time being) survivors, much like what was happening in Stephen King's "The Stand" (which the creators said was somewhat of an influence). They seem to win an important early battle next week by abducting Claire and her "special" baby. The baby seems to be destined for something important, and may be a tabula raisa (blank slate) that can become a Messiah or an Antichrist.
Interesting theory. We know that names are obviously relevant to the show. ROM could be Read Only Memory or Royal Ontario Museum (someone points out that when you click on the Royal Ontario Museum website, there's a picture of a polar bear (carved out of ivory) on the page if you scroll down a bit - just thought it was kinda funny how in depth the speculations can get. There's also talk of chromosomes (46 survivors - 23 + 23). I don't even think I could come up with a theory (and I think that's the point) right now because there is far too much information that we're supposed to believe that just isn't true. I really want to learn more about Locke. That dude is seriously scary. Can't wait for next week's episode!

15. "Next episode preview" |
From ABC.comNext Episode: Wednesday, December 8, 8/7c "All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues" Survivors wonder why Charlie and the pregnant Claire have been abducted - and by whom — and a search party ventures into the treacherous jungle to try to find and rescue the missing duo. Meanwhile, inner-demons about his father resurface for Jack, and Boone and Locke discover another island mystery. Sounds like more of Jack's back story about his father.

I knew when I saw Tom Cruise's cousin that he would be a freak. He was the original Sawyer model in the movie In the Bedroom and he was a freak there so using my amazing powers of deductive reasoning and thoughts that this guy is limited in skills, not unlike his cousin, I knew he was trouble.I think he is one of the Scientists/French people.. I thought she killed Alex? So another? And they want the baby because they want more people to experiment on? Build a society? Something of that nature. I found the psychic interesting but its highly unlikely anyone knew she and her future Hitler/Saddam/Stalin baby were going to be on the plane. But obviously that the future Dahmer/Bundy/Green River killer is what the baby will become without Claire. Who needs ultrasound?

18. "Flashbacks" |
The flashbacks in this show are always triggered by events on the island. If Jack is having flashbacks about his father (or maybe his career as relates to what we already know about his father's feelings about Jack's "having what it takes"), what will trigger them?Jack will be searching for Claire and Charlie, much like he was searching for his dad in E5. It looks like he'll also be faced with a situation where he'll have to make a quick, risky decision. I think this episode will be more about Jack's inner demons than his external relationship with his father. I'm also expecting a doozie of a cliffhanger, as it's the last new episode until January. Fester Damn, this show is good.

Only he was the one watching from the beginning now I'm the bigger fan. I thought the idea sounded interesting but figured it would be way too hard to do it right. I was obviously wrong. The first episode I saw was the Locke episode. Hooked ever since.

Didn't the writers say somewhere that people you think are good will be bad, and people you think are bad will be good? Maybe Ethan isn't bad at all. Maybe Ethan is trying to "save" the world from this spawn-of-satan baby. Jack and the others know nothing about this "special" baby. If Claire dies and the baby lives, they would unknowingly be raising the anti-christ.

Creepy, creepy, creepy!!!!When Hurley first came upon Ethan and knew there was something not right about him. I agree, Locke is some mystery. I think he is just enjoying this new found life a little too much and is going to want everything to stay as it is. I can see Locke going to the "dark" side very easily. So, if the psychic saw that Claire was going to be in the plane crash and survive on the deserted island, couldn't he notify someone about the general whereabouts of the plane? Why wouldn't this guy go to the authorities and at least try to get them to do a search? Also, wouldn't this occur to Claire and Charlie at some point? Claire seems to really understand her dealings with the psychic were to get her on that plane and to the island.

I got the feeling the psychic couldn't see all- just some thingshe gets an image that Claire's baby will be evil for some reason he sends her on the plane under false pretenses (there are no adoptive parents in California) he "sees" the plane crash and assumes Claire and her unborn child will be killed Claire (and the others) mysteriously survive the plane crash

23. "Interesting" |
I was sort of thinking the exact opposite. I figured he saw that Claire would survive the crash (maybe I'm being optimistic, but I don't think he wanted her and the baby dead) and would remain on the island - forcing her to raise the child herself. He wouldn't want to alert any authorities because well for starters who the hell would believe him...and also, Claire would have to be on the island long enough to actually give birth to the baby, and subsequently begin 'raising' the baby.The capture of Claire (I have a feeling she will give birth next episode) is probably something that he saw as well - maybe something that needed to happen in order to 'fix' the baby (or whatever)...perhaps this Ethan knows Claire is carrying an 'evil' baby (hence her visions of someone trying to harm her/the baby) and his capture is indeed intended to purify the baby in some manner. Ethan sure did seem creepy as hell, though. Ah...this show is just so awesome!

I thought it was obvious that he put her on the plane knowing she would survive the crash and knowing that she would be stuck on the island for a very very long time and therefore she would be forced to raise the child. I don't think the baby is evil, but if someone else raises the baby then bad things will happen...that could also mean that if Claire raises the baby then good things will happen.
So don't take the simple fact that I think Shakes is godlike to mean that I think he isn't an ass. -Samiam 10/12/04

29. "Agreed" |
I thought is was obvious that he wanted her on that flight because he knew she would survive and have the baby. I just think that the psychic will have more back story than this. How can you live with yourself knowing that there has been a plane crash with survivors, including this pregnant girl, and not try to do something. The psychic seemed to really care about Claire and her situation. I don't think this story line will end here. Like others have stated, I wonder if he is connected with any of the other survivors.

32. "RE: Agreed" |
First of all, I am soooo happy to have found a place to discuss Lost where there are some really interesting theories and insights. Thank you.I found this episode to be so good, with it's spooky elements and mind games. No sooner had I watched my tape of this show (with all the emphasis on names)than next weeks TV Guide arrived. Here's an brief on the show. What’s in a Name? So the Frenchwoman with the 16-year-long distress signal is alive and living on the island and she’s named Danielle Rousseau. Is her surname a nod to 18th-century philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau? “That’s exactly who we named her after,” admits Lost cocreator Damon Lindelof. Makes sense. Rousseau believed in the noble savage, the idea that humans were good and equal in the state of nature but were corrupted by property, science and commerce. Adds Lindelof, “Every single name on the show has purpose and meaning.” But of course! – Nerina Rammairone
Makes you go back and start looking harder at everybody. Reading a biosketch on 17th century philosopher John Locke for example may give some insights into our island Locke's behavior. Have we ever heard Jack and Kate's last names? And who can tell us what meanings Sayid may have? hmmmmm
