I know that, Jon.
It's still a lame excuse--especially with everyone trying to figure out some supernatural reason for it.

How is it lame? It makes sense, he was hording food...
I've been reading a lot about Lost, I don't know that many people who thought it was a supernatural cause for his weight not being lost...it was just more "WHY isn't he losing weight?"
I thought it was a good reason...although it did feel a bit like they just threw it in there to answer the fans questions

I agree with the last part of your last sentence, it did just seem thrown in--and I'm not really disappointed or anything about it, it just seemed to be an odd throw-in. And I've read a lot of speculation about it, just commenting about it being a big deal for the fans, but virtually, like you said, a throw-in for the character.
I wonder if he isn't actually Henry Gale, Uncle of Dorothy.Chandler Mike said:
Perposterous? Maybe, but this is Lost we're talking about.
Pretty good episode tonight. A few loose ends are starting to come together. Next episode is 3/22
Awesome episode - we learned a LOT!
So, where did the others go?

I think the guy in the cell is "the guy"...
In the flashbacks, you saw Ethan talking to that guy, who was obviously the old man (i forget his name) that Jack, Sawyer and Locke all ran into. I always, ALWAYS thought his beard looked funny...like not real.
Now we know why.
But he mentioned something about "what am I going to tell HIM"...about this.
Maybe it's him they "caught". You can see him planting the seeds....

that's what I thought too - kind of like a Verbal/Kaiser Soze dichotomy

Very surprised on that.
What did Ethan/others do to Claire to make her so friendly to them?

i think they had her drugged up.

What was the deal with the scene with Mr Echo and the other guy.

Not sure - that was strange - Eko knows that he is another, and is clearing his concience?
Other Lost rambles......
Eko did a "confessional" on Ash Wednesday.....
Notice the costumes that Kate found in the bunker? The ones the "Boatbillies/Zeke" wore?
Claire - the mobile above the crib in the other's hideout - the same as in her dreams, made of "Oceanic Airlines" planes.
The song playing from the mobile in the bunker - "Catch A Falling Star" - the same that Claire told the prospective adoptive parents way back when that she would like them to sing.

Good observations the mobile certainly did look strange.
For me the real question is How big is this island? Really? Rousseau avoids our Survivors for the most part and the Others kidnapped Claire kept her hidden for a while after leading Jack on a merry chase through the jungle but their “secret” lair is less than a day's walk from the beach? I want a map!
Also nagging; the "new" Dharma symbol that looks suspiciously those intertwined snakes that are on medical supplies. And what was up with that little disguise kit that Kate discovered, so the others didn’t escape from the old “Deliverance” movie after all? Or are there other Others and some one is impersonating them?
Thank goodness that Libby was around with her clinical-psychology background to help Claire resolve her amnesia about the two weeks she was missing, in the matter of an instant, which isn’t intended to be as critical as it sounds I know we only get and hour. Did anyone else sort of have a moment of panic that Mr. Eko was going to off himself after his confession to Henry? My sane side knew that it wouldn't happen, but when he took out that massive knife and held it to his throat? Yikes!
I also still don't trust Henry Gale and his whole Wizard of Oz-inspired cover story. His eagerness to drive a wedge between Jack and Locke just further proves to me that he's up to no good and frankly he just creeps me out.

It's amazing that one show can answer so many questions, but still have so many others. We STILL don't know where Michael is, do we? And what about Walt?
I love how Alex was in Claire's flashback, and the mystery of the Others is even more complicated. Why would the "Others", who appear to now be doctors that were originally on the island, dress up looking like castaways themselves?
Hierglyphics, the prisoner who is an Other, Locke getting sucked in... when will the madness end??

Am I the only one wondering how in one month the place where Claire was suddenly has cobwebs, hanging wires, the lights messed up?
Why did they take everything but their costumes?

Great episode this week; I was starting to get detached from the show a bit with all the hiatus taking and charlie backstory garbage. Sawyers ep was great and all, but this is really where my interest lies...on the island. First time all the flashbacking was post-crash and I dug it. Fantastic episode and I am excited for the next ep. When is that, next month?
As an aside, every once in a while I'd like to see a view from the people left behind...what is Charlie's family doing? Hurley's family...have they frozen his money? Who has it? What does the world think of Oceanic Air's crash, and not finding the plane? Not for a whole show, but it could be cool to fade in some of that information somehow...it's something I'm a bit curious about.

I thought the planes on the mobile were identical to the one Kate killed for in the bank vault.

I think it was as well.
I have a theory. There are 3 groups on the island and then the French Lady. There is the sciencetist group led by Zeke and the man behind the curtain, Jack's group from the plain and then there are real others. I think Zeke's group are watching both groups and removed members to make both sides even. I also think Zeke's group dresses up to seem like they are others to keep the groups away. I say this because of when the tail-end survivors and the original 3 were coming back they came across some "others" who where all dirty and such and the one had the dirty teddy bear. My reason for ht theroy is why would Zeke's crew dress up for no reason.
