It's OK, I'm still new at some things, too.

Unless the Others are not Dharma People, "they" should know that the losties are there. If not, and by this I mean that they don't have any means of knowing what's happening on the island, why are "they" (Dharma, the Hanso Foundation, whomever) still dropping food. After all, they forgot to send the replacements for Desmond's friend and the other Swan staffer who died.

Keep in mind though, we know more than poor Bernard... (at least thats what we're supposed to think) He likely assumes if Dharma is dropping food, they might notice the SOS sign and send help. He has no reason to think the Others are with Dharma, or that Dharma might want them there, nor does he know anything about Dharma except that it's the logo on the food and Arrow Hatch. (He hasn't been to the Swan, if recollection serves.)

Good point.

And I recall from the first season that Ethan sort of gave himself away in the episode with the golf course. Somebody made a comment about polar bears (I think it was Michael) and Ethan said, "Polar bears?" and Charlie replied, "Oh, hasn't anone told you about the polar bear?"

Hehe, yeah I remember that. It got me wondering if the minor characters were really just always being left in the dark about things, or if it was Ethan slipping up.
Hey, if he worked for Dharma, don't you suppose he would have known about the polar bears? Or maybe not, if it wasn't his area of research...

Isn't it possible that Ethan was playing dumb? When I rewatched the early episodes a few weeks back it was somewhat more obvious how he was playing along. What a jerk!

Anyway, just watched the episode and...



Ha! I finally got to break some news on a Lost board! Thank you satellite!

Hey! Do I get any brownie points for being right about Bernard? (And about the link between Rose, Locke and Jin?)

Well, it was your post that got me thinking about that going into the episode, so I would say you have some bragging rights.

Yes, AdMeister, you can do a little dance, you da man (or woman.)
