Where to begin...
So, the tailees had their own infiltrator. Let me ask this...how is it that the Others knew of the crash, and both sets of survivors, as soon as it happened? THAT is the main question that I need to have answered.
Think about it...Ethan and, damn, what was his name (the tailee infiltrator), well, anyway, both those guys immediately joined up with each group of survivors, literally minutes after the crash. It's just not possible that they just happened to be in area and decided to join in with the crash survivors. It was planned.
This leads me to believe that the plane going off course, and subsequently crashing with survivors, was somehow orchestrated by the Others, or by the Island, with the Others then doing the Islands bidding.
Me thinks that's enough food for thought for this evening. More discussion in the morning.
Good episode, by the way. And from the previews of next week, we are led to believe that Shannon is indeed dead.
Lastly...(sigh)...an entire episode without my Kate.
