Even if the writers make Them good--They've messed things up so badly with the lostaways, They're gonna have a HECK of a lotta 'plaining to do!

I'm glad to be here, STH. Until the spoilers start flying.
then I'm gone with the wind. lol

About the OTHERS-- imo, we have only seen them do
questionable things. A couple of them have been
fascinating (Ethan, fake Henry), but mostly they have
just been scary or bad news.

Despite the times we've seen them in present time, we've also seen them in Claire's and Michael's flashbacks and learned more about them in those.

But the title suggests they have been exclusive to flashbacks.
Which they have NOT.
Ergo, it sucks.
sia.

Claire thought she would be killed after the baby was removed/delivered, but that's all still hazy. Would they have killed her?

Well, Alex certainly thought so!

I'll say it again: the thread title sucks.

And I'll say this: Despite the times we've seen them in present time, we've also seen them in Claire's and Michael's flashbacks and learned more about them in those. Also, next season will have a focus on The Others in present day, which is the point of the title.

Lets put it another way. The Others grease the wheels for violence and then step back? Frankly, I think they do do violence. And there still may be 2 groups of them.

Not really. We saw Ethan & Goodwin. We saw them come to the beach to drag off the tailies after they crashed. We saw Eko kill one on said beach. We saw one get shot on the finale. We saw the feet of a few as Jin & Eko hid in the jungle. We saw Zeke at the campfire with Kate in the hood. None of this was during flashbacks.

Thank ya, Fluffy. <3

I'm thinking hard here.. but have we ever actually seen an Other murder anyone?
Ok, I'll go back to my Ethan bandwagon. We never saw him hang Charlie, never saw him near Scott. I still find it hard to believe he could crush every bone in a human body. We did see him beat the shit out of Jack, but was that real? Kate wasn't too far...

I think the reason Walt didn't ask about Vincent is because the writers wanted Walt & Michael to make a clean getaway. No reason to want to return. I believe they are sailing off into the sunset for good. Any questions about Vincent would leave us viewers wondering if they will return.

Course Walt did ask about Vincent the last time Michael saw him. Who knows what that's about.

I rewatched the finale last night, and I noticed that Walt did show signs of distress at leaving Jack, Kate & Sawyer on the dock. Walt looked back at them several times and may have said something to Michael that we didn't hear.

Walt did look back, and looked concerned actually. If you blinked, you missed it.

I was more concerned that Walt didn't say one word about Vincent. "Dad, what...

I am not buying that they're 'good guys'...

unless the murderous Others were anomalies, which is
totally possible, they seem to be able to murder without
compunction.

Henry didn't seem too horrified that Michael had just
killed two people. He MUST have seen them as he was
escaping the Swan. While he used the info the remind
Michael of why he'll never talk, he didn't seem to find
the actions themselves abhorrent.

I think they...

Oh, and why am I disturbed by Walt's indifference? Maybe I just never saw it before. But somehow Walt never even looking back or even acknowledging that his fellow losties were bound and gagged on a dock and maybe going to die should have prompted him to ask his dad what was going on? but no.....they just roar off into the sunset going - where? and with how much food and water? Screw everyone else? C'mon - Michael proved he was motherfucker but I never saw Walt like that. A little sinister...

Lib, now THAT IS interesting!!!! That big stone foot is meaningless to corporates as any kind of show and doesn't gibe with the Dharma logo etc. It reeks of *age* to me, as well. Very Lord of the Rings. An ancient race (for lack of a better word) stuck in a perpetual time warp of sorts. At least stuck since Dharma got there anyway.

I think this new season will be killer! That stone foot is the key to the whole thing!!!

I posted this in the spoiler thread, but got no response. But I think there is something else out there that will be developed next season.

"Just curious if anyone else was wondring about the appearance of the four toed foot statue, and how it might relate to the kids/people dressed in rags/togas that are part of the others.

4. Why the fake beard/fake clothes, etc?

This is the one that gets me. Zeke even seemed kind of embarrassed when Kate told him he had a fake beard and he sheepishly pulled it off.

Why would you wear a disguise? Only if you think you'll be recognized. Do you suppose the O's (some anyway) are part of and intertwined with the Losties past?

I'm curious.....what disturbed you the most about it? Do you think Walt could have helped in some way? I was mostly disturbed by Michael's indifference, that bastard....I was hoping the others were going to trick Michael and his boat would blow up.

The Others didn't abandon the Staff station until Claire escaped. They were, or are, a part of Dharma. We're still unsure when other stations were abandoned except swan which apparently never got abandoned.

I tried to find an Others thread, I really did, and I apologize if there is one already.

This thread is for discussion of those crazy others. Some questions to consider:

1. How many groups of Others are there? (Henry indicated there were more than one, by saying "WE'RE the Good Guys".)

2. What's the deal with kidnapping children?

3. Do they believe in the sickness? If not, why the vaccines for Claire?

4. Why the fake beard/fake clothes,...
