Watercooler Talk: Who are The Others?

the others are not dead, not zombies, but life-challenged. it's not my idea, just check at http://www.oceanicflight815.com. click on the barcode, and enter the code "theislandiswaiting"

The others are not dead. They do have a boat. I think the others are charged with keeping the survivors of the oceanic flight on the island. It is clear that "The Others" have some way of keeping track of exactly what the survivors are doing. How do the survivors know they're on an island if they haven't walked around the entire perimeter?

Another site uses 'spoiler styles' in a span that makes the text color and background the same color so it's unreadable. If someone wants to know the spoiler, they can highlight it. I would think using that idea would make everyone happy, instead of some people that enjoy spoilers suggesting that people that don't like them avoid all fan sites. I like them, but I don't think it's nice to force them on people that would rather wait to see the show, especially when there's an easy fix.

I have NO past-episode info to back this up, I'm just blindly guessing 8^) The 'Others' are aliens that took over the island back when the experiement first started, because it's remote and there's less chance they'd be caught by the rest of human kind. Do they take over humans that have died, so they can 'live' in their bodies? Does the glow drug help them avoid their bodies rejecting being inside humand bodies? Do they need something from kids to make that glow drug? How old was Rousseau's kid, because it makes me wonder why they took Walt instead of Claire's baby. Maybe it's something to do with puberty, depending on the age that Rousseau's boy died at?

hey it also says that he already appeared in exodus part 2, so he may be a tail sectioner?

Ok so "The Others" are the infected science research team. Why are they called "The Others" like some horror movie.

Kelvin is the bearded leader of the Others (formerly Hanso researchers). He is a victim of an experiement gone wrong, "the incident" which caused "the sickness", which has left them, to some degree, undead -- which is the sickness that Desmond vaccinates himself against -- which is sickness also took the lives of Danielle's group. Somehow, Danielle's child provided some sort of life-giving force for them. And now the Others have kidnapped Walt for that task.

That's what I'm saying... "The Others" are the science research team. They are dead. They are now zombies. The screen shots of the same actors in the orientation video playing the others pretty much proves it.

How do I subscribe to the Lost podcast via RSS? I don't see a link to the feed anywhere, just the individual files.

I'm pretty sure Rousseau was referring the others in her science research team, remember how they all died?
