Thank God Sayid showed a little common sense finally, or I would have had to turn off my TV.

THE SHOW HAS BEGUN AIRING ... PROCEED BEYOND THIS POST AT YOUR OWN RISK
This is a thread for a person to post their pre thoughts about the episode and their current thoughts as the episode is playing out.
People that haven't seen the episode need to stay out of this thread after 5 pm EST (this is when it starts in Canada, correct?). Simple as that!

I have been trying to think about why the four were on the list. I am not going to worry about why certain people were NOT on the list (with the exception of one), so let's see if we can't put together something plausible on the four:
1) Jack - A good person, a doctor, the leader, strong enough to fight Ethan
2) Sawyer - Strong, determined fighter, resourceful
3) Kate - A woman (not too many of those in the Others camp), strong
4) Hurley - Dharma needs funds, has heard the numbers before coming to the island
On top of that, all four have seen things that shouldn't be on the island (logically) on the Island -
Jack - His father, the security system
Kate - The horse, SS, and the polar bear
Sawyer - The Horse, the Polar Bear, The Others
Hurley - Dave
Why not Sayid? Well if your plan was to get the drop on the above, you wouldn't want the best fighter of the bunch mucking up your chances.
So let's see if we can think of any more reasons for the four.

2) Sawyer - Strong, determined fighter, resourceful

I wonder how Michael originally planned to get Fatboy to go on the excursion since it seemed like shooting Libby was a total accident (and he didn't know that Hurley had the hots for her).

He knew he had to kill the person that was guarding Henry Gale, but didn't expect anyone else walking in on him.

Anyway, here are some caps I got that might strike up some convo..
Did we get duped again with the ending? In last weeks preview for THIS episode, we see them on the beach and a bright flash, but we didnt get it in the end? I hate that.
Still sorta pisses me off that nobody saw odd crime scene.AL sitting on the couch shot.....guess they wanted to save it for Sayid to figure out another way that Michael is lying.
Seems this episode only showed a few things and not too much so as to keep us for season 3 which I am sure is what will happen.No flashbacks was nice, other than just seeing what Michael did while gone.I think they just gave us some new people to look forward to.A couple new locations to remember.

His reaction, while captured, from being very angry and belligerant to a blubbering fool just didn't seem realistic to me.
They never threatened to kill his son, so he could have just played it cool and when released he could have gone back to camp with the truth. They could have formulated a plan of action and I'm sure they could have surprised The Others with bigger #'s and weapons.
I mean think of it. He has already murdered 2 people and now he is sending the 4 to an unknown fate. He is either the most selfish man who ever lived or more likely, a victim of piss poor pathetic writing of his character.
I really had sympathy for his character in the first season, but now HE MUST DIE!
