Don't You Wish...

Nice gla, sses.

...we had a new episode airing next week? Instead, we get another 2 weeks of repeats. What's up wit dat, ABC?? Fuckin' it up, man.

Anyways, here're my personal highlights and questions from last night's rather revealing episode, "Maternity Leave":

-Rousseau's a good guy (for the time being, at least)! And so is Alex, the mysterious-yet-obviously-Rousseau's-daughter nurse!
-Speaking of Alex, do we believe she helped Claire because she herself was a captive, or do we think it was all just another crazy plan of "the others?"
-So Aaron WASN'T really sick, or at least managed to heal up. Thoughts on whether or not he's actually got the island's version of ebola, or if the *disease* even really exists?
-We know now that the medicine Desmond took from the Swan Hatch is the same stuff Ethan Rom pumped into Claire's preggers stomach. What's the connection? Sickness, or another one of Dharma's sick tests?
-Why the f isn't Sayid still torturing Henry Gale? And does anyone feel like the more he talks, the less we believe him?
-Eko's little confession to Henry Gale was a nice way to tie up what really happened to him the first night on the island, but who else was wishing he'd go to town on our new prisoner, Sayid-style?
-I liked the way the flashbacks were done in this ep. Claire's discovery was well-handled, and although I wish they had found a clue in the Hospital Mini-Hatch (my nickname for that abandoned facility) for why they were fuckin' around with Aaron, at least we know Zeke AKA Mr. Friendly was wearing a fake beard and "the others" dress up to look like island survivors. Wait -- what?? Why??
-I noticed how nicely dressed Zeke and Ethan Rom were in the Hospital Mini-Hatch -- think it's a clue to something other than the fact that "the others" are mildly civilized? Probably not, but what the heck...
-Zeke mentions "him." Thoughts on who (or what) that could be? Degroot? Hanso? The monster? God?
-Sounded like Ethan's original plan was to get the manifest, and THEN get Claire. So with that established, can we say "the others" have no idea how many people survived Flight 815?

Next new episode airs March 22nd, titled "The Whole Truth," and will be Jin/Sun-centric (or as I call them, "mom and dad"). Let's get those comments goin'!

All the answers

Chang turned me on to this because I haven't been able to read this week's (Reese W) EW, but if you have that issue, check out News and Notes or click here:

Really well thoughtout conspiracy theorizing. Also, can't wait till Wednesday.
