"Man is a marvelous curiosity ... he thinks he is the Creator's pet ... he even believes the Creator loves him; has a passion for him; sits up nights to admire him; yes and watch over him and keep him out of trouble. He prays to him and thinks He listens. Isn't it a quaint idea." Mark Twain
So the Others never knew about Desmond, then, if they didn't know about his boat. And they didn't know about the Crazy French Chick's traps, so they mustn't have had a lot of interest in the castaways until the Losties came.
I wonder if Alex will help Kate, Sawyer, Jack, and that boy that she was asking about escape? And I wonder what Ben wants Jack to do?
Hehehe, Pickett is gonna flip when he finds out that his lady got shot

Maybe they never knew about Desmond because he sailed to the island. Couldn't detect him? And, didn't he always stay inside the hatch, except for the one time he followed Kelvin, and accidentally killed him?
Ben telling Jack that he's been on the island since he was born was an interesting find. They've been there awile. I want to know more, damn it.
I loved that Pickett's gal was shot. You go Sun. I'm so glad that she's back with Jin, and Sayid. I wonder if there will be any retaliation, by the others, against them before they reach their group on the beach.
Sawyer walking up to Kate and kissing her was sweet. But I wish that he would be serious when he's talking to her. Sheesh... will it kill him to admit his feelings? Ben watching, and listening, to them on the monitors was messed up. They are always being watched... so, they can't really plan anything.
What is that labor they are making Sawyer and Kate do for? Rocks? What are they going to use them for? Or, is it to prove a point? Who are the other people that were working when S & K were brought there? Are they people who are others, that are in trouble? Or, people who landed on the island, that the others took, from early on in season one, and two?

Hmmm, I never thought about the others not knowing if Desmond was there or not. But they had a view into the hatch - they must have known he was there.
So we find out Sun did actually sleep with that guy. was the father the one who pushed that guy out the window? or did he jump with the pearls b/c he knew he could never have sun? HMMMMMM? and why is Jin such a tool sometimes? And when is he gonna start speaking english???!!!!
That whole "red sox winning" conversation and jack cracking up in disbelief was HILARIOUS! that was my favorite part of the episode.

I was waiting for Jin to start speaking english last night. I'm sure that it's coming...
I wonder if he's ever going to talk to Sun about her affair with Jai. But, if he did, then he would know that the kid isn't his, right? Maybe he's just better off, in his head, to just think that it's his. What good will come of a confrontation about her affair!
I thought that part with the tv, and the red sox, was boring. But, it definitely got his attention.
You're right... the do have a camera (or did, since the hatch is gone now) into that hatch, and were watching them all.

does Jin know about the affair? I thought when he said he knew Sun had betrayed him he meant about lying to him about what their objective with the fire was. I was waiting for that Jae guy to reveal something about Sun. And I'm guessing that Sun thinks that Jin pushed that guy out the window. suuuhhhuuuhhhuucks.
Yeah, I don't get the whole hard work thing. We need some more explanations!!!

Well, I think that when Sun's father told Jin to take care of this matter, for good... and then told him about it being for the family honor, that Jin suspected something. I just don't think that he's as dumb as it might seem. But, who knows. After all, if he knew that Jae had touched his wife, I think that he would have killed him, without any problem.

I read on another lost site that people think the work kate and sawyer are doing is part of a test of will and endurance....? I dunno. Why are they so VIOLENT, what with all the electric-shocking and schtuff.
what's the deal with that kid in the other cage that Alex was talking about. Saying "he wasn't even supposed to be in there."
Maybe Ben is Alvar Hanso's son. oooooooOOOOOoooooo

Yeah, I'm thinking that Sawyer, Kate, and Jack were taken because they are the three strongest. But, I'm sure that the others have their reasons for wanting them. They are all three being tested, in different ways... but why?
Maybe Alex, and that "kid" were an item. And she is worried about him, because she's not seen him for awhile.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh, Ben being Alvar's kid. FREAKY!!!

illuminate said this in post #7 : Hmmm, I never thought about the others not knowing if Desmond was there or not. But they had a view into the hatch - they must have known he was there.
I don't know, the hatch in the middle of the Island, that Locke and Mr. Ekko found, had a hookup to the hatch they all live in, but it looked like it had been abandoned for years.
Ben was watching video feeds from the cages that Sawyer and Kate were in, but so far we don't know for sure that Ben has a video feed into Desmonds hatch.
I would assume that he did or does, but not knowing Desmond had a boat makes me wonder. The guy is such a liar, it's hard to know what he does or doesn't know. He told Locke the button did nothing, like he wanted it to not be pressed, but we all saw what happens when it doesn't get pressed, I'm very curious as to the Others motivation. Why they do what they do.
I would love to know what the driving motivation is behind the others... and if the group knows everything, or if Ben tells them enough for them to follow blindly.

And, didn't he always stay inside the hatch, except for the one time he followed Kelvin, and accidentally killed him?
