Some new (to me, at least) food for thought. Someone brought this up with me, and it just made so much sense, it was time to put it out there:

Rousseau is an OTHER.

When Sayid followed the cable that leads to the sonar bouy he found Rousseau. Was she in charge of gaurding that cable the way Bakunin guarded the satellite dish?

She excused herself from approaching Bakunin’s hut (The Flame).

Rousseau made sure that Sayid got all of her old information (maps etc.) which helped them get into the hatch.

She talked about Black Rock enough to make sure they would go there.

In fact, Ben might really be Alex’s father. Rousseau ended up coincidently catching Ben, and handing him over to Sayid. Is there any other way that Ben could have entered the hatch?

In fact, Rousseau is the one who non-mortally wounded him…not like her at all.

When the Russian guy was going to spill the beans on Locke, Rousseau interrupted him.

Rousseau wanted to immediately kill the Bakunin.

THe only people to discuss the sickness – Rousseau and Kelvin (and for Kelvin it was part of a hoax). Is it a red-herring with her as well.

Seth, I totally think that’s a good theory. It dovetails so nicely with the whole Christian leading the Dharmothers (I’m trying out a new phrase) thing. Following my “Ethan is responsible for Juliet’s sister’s pregnancy” theory it might be interesting if Ethan were somehow responsible for _Claire’s_ as well. To maneuver her into position to get her on the island.

Crazy Ethan Theory: Ethan is the doctor/medical Other who, we’re seeing this season, has had much to do with Juliet and I’m speculating other medical folks in the past.

Christian mentions that he got a call from a colleague in Australia about Claire’s mom. If we think Christian is at the head of Dharma or The Others, then one of his “agents” tipped him off and it makes sense that it would be Ethan, though it could just as easily be someone like Juliet or Ben (if he’s ever been off the island).

I just see Ethan as playing a larger role in the “recruitment” of folks, basically and since he’s a “doctor” I’ve made a logical leap.

Oh, Seth! If you weren’t married [and straight] I could kiss you. Your validation of my Christian leading the Others theory made my week. Yeah, I kinda think Locke blows up the sub too. There’s a hellacious amount of theorizing that Locke not only doesn’t want to leave the island but wants no one else to either. It’s the one place where he’s special, and all. Oh, UrkelJohn… When will you ever learn.

Explain that bit about Ethan though, willya?

RSL, I think you’re right about Jack. Having seen the CTV promo on dharmasecrets.com this morning, I’m inclined to think he’s just using Mr. Friendly or Juliet as a way to make a bigger play.

Also, I’m pretty sure Locke’s C4 blows up the sub next week.

Lastly, I’m with you on Christian leading The Others. He has too many touchpoints to main characters.

I’m also convinced that Ethan is the doctor who told Christian about Claire’s mother and may even turn out to be Claire’s OBGYN.

Seth, did you not get that friggin’ missing child alert during the tattoo parlor scene? I missed the whole effin’ thing. :/ Wondering if it’s worth rewatching on the ABC site.

I’m not convinced Patchy is dead either but I do think that Ben isn’t the leader of the Others. Well, I do think that there’s someone above him. Ben clearly seems to be their local leader or the face of the Others. But once they reveal that Christian is the real leader… Whoa, nelly! [I really do believe that. Sort of.]

Also, perhaps it’s more than coincidence that there’s more than one blonde female on the island who wishes a “loved one” dead. Makes me wonder what Shannon said to/thought about her dad or Libby to/about her husband. Aw… Shannon. I miss you.

And the Canadian promo seems to indicate that Jack’s neither as brainwashed nor as Other-friendly/loyal as you might believe. YMMV

Hah, CLAIRE marks people for death! Brilliant explanation! I was wondering why Charlie could risk death with Hurley and yet be perfectly fine. Time for Desmond to try to break them up, I think.

I would totally read The Fountainhead on an island. Kills a lot of time!
