What kind of father murders innocent people and betrays their friends just to save their kid?
I thought I could hate noone more than AL, but Michael is #1 followed closely by Claire. AL has dropped to #3.

What kind of dumbf*** mother gives their baby vaccine they know nothing about?

I have to agree, something is SERIOUSLY fucked up with Michael that he'd kill two people without a second thought to save a kid he's BARELY MET. This can't be chalked up to parental instinct; Michael is a psycho with serious issues. Why not just come back and tell them "the Others told me to bring you four to them in exchange for Walt" and formulate a plan from there?

I think the vacine is nothing but clear water, and that its part of their psychological test, just like the button...to see if they will inject themselves just because they are told to.

Anti - I think that Michael has a serious guilt complex when it comes to Walt. He wasn't there for him in his early years and now he's trying to make up for it.
Ladybug - I had the same thoughts about the vaccine. |

MIchael is dead to me. DEAD, I say!!!
As for Claire, I'm willing to cut her a little slack about the vaccine. Didn't they give the baby some of that stuff when he got sick before? And I'm guessing the Others injected him as well. So if she knows the stuff will keep her child from getting sick, (or think she knows) then yeah, that's not entirely stupid. |

I'm thinking that Michael didn't just go back and explain the offer to everyone else so they could make a plan because of Walt telling him "They aren't who they say they are." That probably scared the shit out of him to the extent where he's probably thinking that going along with what they say is most beneficial to his and Walt's safety, which is what he cares about over anything.

The question I have is how could he possibly believe that they would just let him and Walt go after betraying his friends who are risking their lives to save his son? They are just going to give him the boat and let him drive away into the sunset? I have a hard time believing anyone is that delusional.

Yeah, I think there's more going on with Michael than being a concerned parent. Might be suffering some kind of Dharma-induced dementia: Dharmentia.

With Claire, it's understandable, as before she was told that her baby needed the vaccine...when he got sick, it's what cured him. So yeah, I'd want to have some on hand in case something were to come up again.
Michael, however, I agree is completely psycho. That being said...he wasn't exactly the most sane/passive person on the island beforehand. So I can see his character killing people for a kid...especially when it's his kid, and it's a bitch like AL. |

forget stupid parents... what about stupid doctors?
I love Jack, don't get me wrong. However, how is he so blind that he didn't realize what Sayid did? I am so thankful that Sayid was smart enough to see that Michael is an effing lunatic. I just hope that Sayid isn't going to be the next victim. that would kinda suck. |

**HUGS** to tigeranne for understanding that Sayid (and James, too, these last two eppys!) has the necessary mindset for the current Island situation! Jack has himself two very good lieutenants, doesn't he?

Hugs back to ya, STH.
I love Jack, but I think he's been coming across as very obtuse lately!! How can he NOT see that Michael is acting in a very furtive manner? I guess the trauma of losing two more of 'his' people has muddled his logic? I'm glad Sayid got through and made him realize. |

Just stupid parents? It seems everyone on that fucking island is a moron.
I was shocked that Sayid actually saw through Michael's ruse, not because Michael hid it well (in fact, it was pretty fucking transparent), but because someone on that fucking island actually had the brains to notice that something was amiss with Michael. Sayid needs to shoot Jack in the head or something. Michael could use a good several kicks in the head as well. Even Locke's starting to appear dumb. It's kinda pathetic when fucking Charlie appears smarter than half the main characters. |
