That is one hell of a stretch. One HELL of a stretch.
Those spoilers explain the animals, but not so much the giant flesh-eating monster.

Well, other than atrophy issues, "miracle" healings are documented. Cancer goes into remission, the blind see, and the lame walk. It's not something that demands the paranormal... it just happens but we don't know why. Meanwhile, psychics are fairly universally regarded as crackpots, except in this fictional show they've strongly suggesting he DOES have pre-cognition (C&C believe it, at least).
My point is that, up to now, everything can be explained completely in the rational realm of reality. A psychic having reliable precog visions of the future would be the first completely paranormal event. That opens the door to all sorts of sci-fi craziness in story.
I do not believe that Alex is in any way Ethan.
From what I could gather, who in the hell takes their kid on a journey like that one? Really?
I think that Rousseau was the boat's Claire. I believe that the boat wrecked because she was on it, and pregnant. Then, when she was about to give birth, these people abducted her and took the baby to raise on their own. This island has some way of taking these children born there...or something. The psychic thought he was getting rid of the problem, but he was in reality facilitating it. Perhaps he hadn't seen the events after the plane crash, but simply the crash itself...who fucking knows, I give up.
I think Claire's baby and Alex have some sort of tie...and Tom Cruise's cousing is too old to have been there for only 16 years, if my baby born on island theory is correct at all. Which is highly doubtful.
I love this show.

Except that the psychic guy could just be the tool of some evil corporation that is trying to lure a group of people to the island....and not a true psychic. Which would only further explain why mysterious extra guy is interested in her specifcally....
Locke's healing borders much more on the paranormal (provided that his flashbacks aren't false memories or something).

Actually, it could be argued that there's no real proof that the psychic actually has psychic powers. He could have just as easily been a crackpot who had no idea the plane was going to crash. There's no solid proof either way.
It's much more interesting that way.

But evil shifty eyes do not lie!
It's a shame Ethan was only in 2 shows, it kinda made the 'twist' a bit of a non-entity, it was totally obvious how out of place he was in the last episode. It's also pretty telling that it was Locke who kinda introduced him to the group. But we still dont know if locke knew what Ethan had planned....And did ethan inject claires baby or was that infact just a nightmare? Maybe Ethan isn't bad, maybe he injected the baby with an antidote to whatever virus the island has (as hinted at last week).
Man this show makes me think too much, gotta go watch something more straight forward
Oooooh smallville.

True, with the reveal of Ethan, it seems a bit more plausible that he actually did attack (?) Claire. Although, he'd have to be mighty fast and stealthy to get away so fast. And the claims of no markings would call that into question still, unless he failed to do the injection and that's why he's kidnapping her...
Did Locke introduce Ethan? That's interesting, very interesting. There's definitely something more going on with Locke. Another interesting point with him, the last time we saw Walt was when he was learning about knives with Locke. If Locke has some secret agenda or an affiliation with the people on the island, then Walt's relationship with him could prove pretty interesting.

Also, remember that Walt has some sort of powers himself...or something. For instance, his father said he wouldn't go look for the dog since it was pouring. It then stopped raining.
He reads a comic book with a polar bear...those people are almost eaten by a polar bear.
Something about kids and this island, it seems.
The spoilers that Doth Togo posted from Entertainment Weekly might counter one of those instances where Walt appeared to have an influence on the island, or whatever you want to call it. Or at least, it reduces the significance of such a "power".

Which is precisely why I refuse to read them. Spoilers stifle speculative creativity!
Now I'm wondering what Locke's connection is to Ethan. Dang. Either Locke is in league with these other people on the island, or Ethan was really skilled at infiltrating into the group of survivors without arousing any suspicions. Either way, it isn't looking good.
Also, whatever happened to the dog? I hope they use it in the search party for C&C.

i quite like the show, but i feel i have ruined it for myself. i have a theory for the premise for the show and each episode cements my theory:
we have seeing dead people, rosemary's baby, polar bears in the jungle and people surviving an impossible to survive plane crash.
They are all dead

Actually Sayid is my least favorite character after what he did. I hope
Sawyer takes advantage of his injured leg and messes him up
