But in truth, the villiage HAS to be close to the crash sites, since they Ethan and Goodwin arrived there quickly.

Here’s my theory on what is happening on the island. It’s only speculation, but I will spoilerize just in case:
I’m anxious to hear anybody’s feedback on this theory. It seems to fit everything we’ve seen to this point.

Well "Ben" did tell Ethan (or was it Goodwin) that if he ran he could get there in a day. So the island is huge but if you're there for 16 years and insane I think she would be scouring that island or at least tracked one of them back to the village.

And the look at the end, when he was like 'great job'. And she was like 'yeah, okay whatever'

True True. me and the fiance looked at each other and said "She is going to make a power play, I can just see it coming"

Great episode, can not wait till next Wednesday, and I hope that my cable company is settled with the ABC affiliate by then and I have my HD back. It was hell watching this for the first time ever in SD, it was like watching it through cheese cloth.

Goodwin: Yeah, probably in the water.
Ben: You run, you can make that shore in an hour. Ethan, get up there to that fuselage. There may actually be survivors and you're one of them. [To Goodwin] A passenger, you're in shock. Come up with an adequate story if they ask, stay quiet if they don't. Listen, learn, don't get involved! I want lists in three days. Go.

Other than her wrists - were there any other marks on Kate? The wrists would have come from the cuffs that Ben made her tighten before eating. Perhaps in order to eat she would have had to move around with those tightened cuffs on.
Anyone else notice how hungry she was when Sawyer tossed her the rest of the fish biscuit? She obviously didn't partake of of breakfast on the beach...
I just made the assumption that they gave Kate a chance to join in, and when she didn't, in the cage she went...
Anyone catch a glimpse of anyone who could have been "Mr. Friendly" a.k.a. fake-beard guy? I guess I was expecting to see him at some point in the ep...

he was in the episode A LOT. he was the guy with Kate at all times. in the shower area, leading her to the cage, etc. that was Zeke/Mr. Friendly/Fake Beard guy.

Guess I heard it wrong. So if they're only an hours run from the tallies it's completely feasable that Russo would have found there village.

I'm wondering if that tank near Sawyer's cage has anything to do w/ the 'monster/security system'? Maybe this 'monster' is is how the Hydra Station gets it's name? The producers have said the smoke monster we've seen so far would be considered only part of it...basically like its 'big toe'. Just a random thought.
I really enjoyed the episode. It's been getting a lot of flak around most message boards though. Most people still seem to want every possible answer right now which is pretty ludicrous. We'd have no show then...

And Zeke dropped the line hinting that he might be gay.

They gave Mr. Friendly's real name in the season 2 finale. I don't have my clue notebook with me right now, but I'm pretty sure it was "Tom".
What happened to Mrs. Clue?

The quarantine bit on the inside of the hatch or hatches could have been for them to rid themselves of whatever germs or bacteria they were carrying around before being integrated in their new neighborhood. This is what a a friend of mine and I think is going on.

Great episode. I don't think the Others planned the crash. It just doesn't make logical sense. First Ben's reaction to it is contrary to that belief. Second, Ben had been trying to infiltrate the hatch, probably since the crash. Third, Desmond was in complete shock when he saw his missing numbers caused the crash. They just don't want potentially

I'm not sure if the Others have anything on Jack or the others in thier files. I think it was a stack of plain paper. I'm leaning towards mind reading, which would go right along with Telekenisis. She got the info out of him by reading his mind and that is what Ben was thanking her for, not necessarily "breaking him." Same goes with her knowing he wasn't a repo man. So the next two "unpleasant" weeks to me indicate tests for both "powers" and medical tests to guarantee they aren't
Spoiler:
It was bizaare how different they treated each prisoner. And why was Jack taken to the Hydra station? What purpose did that serve? All that did was give Jack more insight into what is going on.

They never did say how long it would take Ethan to get to the beach, but we know it took the Tailies several days and Ethan would be far more comfortable with the island. So I'd say at least a day, maybe 2 before he could have shown up.
No idea if Russo ever found them or not, but she seems easily frightened.
I think I read it in this thread that the cable Sayid found in Season 1 going into the ocean was for this Hydra place. Does that seem to jive with anyone? I don't think he was near Pleasantville/Stepford by then, but there's no reason to think the Hydra is located directly there anyway.

i had always assumed that the cable was from an underwater generator (you know, powered by the currrent), that in turn fed power to somewhere on the island.
not sure why no one has yet to follow it all the way inland (sayid was captured by russeau before he could).

so if the others have such a good track on everybody, how do they not know russeau's daugher is living with them and the one who helped claire escape?!
