If he was diagnosed shortly before the plane crash, maybe there wasn't time to do anything, or the tumor was more aggressive than orignally thought, or they were planning on scheduling the surgery, but the plane crashed. What am I arguing about? I didn't like Ethan. He was scary. Good riddance to bad company!

word to that. He belongs in the ground with his cromagnon family.

And CBK probably lied about him being a doctor.. or just didnt include. that he was the winner fo the Other's weekly board game tournament of OPERATION.

LOL - Ben with the best comment of the day

With the skill and dexterity of someone who had just spent the night at a Holiday Inn, Ethan WAS able to remove not only the the pencil and the bread basket, but most importantly - the funny bone!

The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

Don't know how it got there but didn't Jack tell Kate when they first got on the island the story of the 5 tattoo . About that operation , the story she had to tell him on the walkie talkie ..... And if Ethan were a surgeon why would they send him to spy on the losties if he were so important and take the chance of him getting hurt/killed etc.....

The big mysteries are, can jack get more boring, does his backstory provide any answers, will he be killed soon - answers are yes, no, and hopefully.
