Comments on: Lost – A Tale of Two Cities http://randomcommands.com/2006/10/05/lost-a-tale-of-two-cities/ you are LOST in a maze of twisty little passges, all the same...

(say that 5 times fast) "The Others", as *misunderstood* as they might be, have concocted an elaborate scheme to engender fear and therefore submission in anything or anyone they perceive as a "threat" to their idyllic life. So, the huts and rags are costumes, just as Kate found them in the medical station. As far as the children go, it's a sad theory but one that we see unfortunately played out in reality, that indoctrination starts with the young. The Others know they won't last forever. They need to raise up a future for themselves if whatever they are doing is going to continue. So some children will be future Dharmalars. Some will be "special". And some will be "projects".

I wonder if they will tell us where the kids are that they took. I mean, if they are treating the adults this badly, what about those poor kids? They can't all be "special" like Walt. Also, how did they go from riches to rags and huts once the plane went down? I wonder if the powers that be cut their funding off because the button wasn't pressed and therefore comprimised the experiement/world. Hmmm??? Interesting! Can't wait to see what's next!
