Like your box thoughts. Everyone has such great thoughts! I want to talk about them all, but no time. No time, no time. Read an interesting thing about the number 42. It has something to do with DNA and 42 being human DNA's vibration frequency, but I haven't had a chance to check out the truth of it. Maybe Rachael knows something about it. Back to catch up from reading this morning.

Loved "I'm spry"!! And he is! People keep not believing him, but he keeps being right. I think Hurley felt that he would be ok, because bad things happen to the people around him, but not necessarily directly to him.

I think part of it too (also in his testing the bridge) was his belief that part of the power of the numbers was that though bad things happen to those around him, he was safe. Oh, I should have read a little farther. I should have known I wouldn't be the only one who would think this!

That's why I was sure it had an x-phile connection. I knew I had heard the word before. Was he the liver eater? (I know I'm being lazy and I could go all internety and search for it but for some reason that's what springs to mind) The killer who could shrink his body down and enter through little ducts and things? Yes. Yuck. Or, as Kitty used to say, Yucky Yucky Yuck Yuck Poo!.

I think Hurley felt that he would be ok, because bad things happen to the people around him, but not necessarily directly to him. I agree, and I think that there was a element, in his boldness, of testing that theory in a bit of a self-destructive way, out of guilt.

I love coincidences:
Only 42% of the 2nd class passengers on the Titanic survived.
How many survivors did we start with? Didn't we get a number for how many where on the plane too? I must do more research.

And Ethan.

I was thinking about all the different groups on the island and some of the assumptions we've been making. I think there are at least 3 separate factions on the Island - the CFL & her crew (now deceased), Ethan & co? and finally flight 815.
Had we assumed that Ethan had others with him, or did he specifically say so? Was he all alone, or part of a group? If he was part of a group, (which I think he was) surely Rousseau would know about them since she's been around for so long. How did he, or his group get to the island?
Last night that the CFL said she was all alone now - all her shipmates were dead... If I remember correctly. Previously I think we assumed that Ethan had some association with her - but I don't think that's the case now (although I could be wrong since he is dead now). But if my assumption that Ethan was part of a group is correct - then they must be a separate group from the CFL's ship crew.
I'm not sure what all this means, but if I was on the island I'd want to leverage Hurley's new found friendship and try and find out something about who else is on the island from Rousseau.
