Well we now know that there's some kind of list that says all the people on the Island that weren't taken away, are bad. Or have done something bad in their lives. (The "other's" know who's who, because they sent Goodwin to spy on the Tailie's, while that guy Ethan (from last season. He wasn't on the manifest, and he took claire. Remember? I had to watch the dvd's again to refresh my memory), spied on our Islanders. Here are some connections that TVGUIDE came up with. (Just thought I'd post what they said, because I forgot alot of this stuff and figured other's have too) :)
