He is special. Surviving a crash landing isn't enough to make you able to walk again on its own. He and Rose are absolutely special, as is Desmond, as was Walt and, apparently, as is Claire's baby.Taelorn76 said:

Yup. And something to do with his beliefs or life or whatever made him immune (for a short while anyway) to the smoke monster. A man who truly believes in something is a most dangerous animal.Whizbang Dustyboots said:

It was a good epsiode, and explained a lot. I'm of the opinion that Jack hasn't switched sides, but is either just acting to get a good look around, or has simply accepted that he's stuck there and so is making the best of it.
That said, they didn't show the preview for next week on Sky, so I might be missing something.
Two things really bugged me about this episode: The first, and lesser of the two was when Claire kicked Charlie out. Here we go again, I thought.
However, the thing that really bugged me was that Sayid seemed to just accept that Locke had the C4 with him. At the very least, he should have been asking a bunch of very pointed questions and not going on until he got answers. This is at least twice now Locke has deliberately sabotaged a potential means for the survivors to contact the outside world. And, in fact, the first time involved him knocking Sayid out in the first season.
Oh, about the sonic fence, and why there aren't masses of dead animals... won't that just be learned behaviour?

To play devil's advocate about the Fence...
Pseudoscience
It is a sonic fence. As pseudoscientists know, all animals can hear sounds outside the range of human hearing. Thus, percieving the dangerous nature of the ultrasound they are hearing, they instinctively avoid the area, even as the humans blunder along, oblivious to their pending doom.

We don't know if the fence is always on, or whether it triggers when someone walks through. If the latter's the case, then there's a sensor of some kind, and it might be calibrated to only go off for animals or objects over a certain mass.
This might work in any number of ways which are plausible by the weird-science standards of Lost. We're accepting the existence of a sonic or EMP-based security fence that kills people, after all - is having it only go off for creatures over, say, 100lbs much of a stretch?
Aside from the wild pigs and the occasional polar bear or horse, the island doesn't seem to have many large animals.
Or, if it is sonic, it might produce something inaudible to humans that deters animals... (oops, I see that was already mentioned)
Or it really was off, and Patch swallowed a poison capsule (hence all the foaming at the start) because he really wanted to mess with their heads for some reason.
(hey, it is Lost, right?)

Ya know, I thought the same thing as it was happening. Seemed too convenient and he did "thank" them right before dying. If he is dead.mmu1 said:Or it really was off, and Patch swallowed a poison capsule (hence all the foaming at the start) because he really wanted to mess with their heads for some reason.
