TV actors create problems for me. They are on other shows so I spend ten minutes racking my brains thinking a new central character has made an appearance on the show before, when I actually caught sight of her on ER or something like that.
Kate was marched to the beach when there was a guy only five feet behind her with a gun stuck in a place where it is really dangerous to ever carry again. Totally unrealistic. The real Kate would have left them dead or dying on the ground.
How much to the suburban others know? I don’t think they know of all the stations on the island. I don’t think they know why the plane came down.
The guy who “involved” Sawyer in his escape. I assume he’s a long term plant. He’ll appear again when the others need to learn something or trap someone.
Do the others have supernatural strength?
The exercise with the water. All a set up? Was Juliette herself at risk?
The “skinner box” that Sawyer is in: integral to what they’re doing or left over bear cage? Is the idea not that they care to experiment on Sawyer but that someone used to do so on bears before moving on to humans at the stations? But are they trying to do more to Sawyer than simply find a place to hold him?
Interesting thoughts Mark. I was wondering if the ‘others’ let the ‘bears’ out of the cage meaning the Polar Bears that now roam the island. But I have to disagree with you about the knowledge level of the suburban others. When they felt the earth quake, they seemed to know that they should run outside and look up in the air for something crashing. So they seem to understand at least a correlation between the two. I think they know about some of the other hatches if not all of them, especailly how Juliette was not phased when asked about the name of the Hydra location. Just my worthless thoughts.
