Indeed. I thought she was kinda gangly looking at first, but lately she's become some of the best eye candy on the show.
I just checked IMDB to make sure she was out of jailbait territory... she'll be 20 on saturday.

The video on my HD feed was very choppy, audio was fine though. Not sure if it was a problem at my house or with the signal.

If the point of the final scene was in any manner that Danielle has survived for so long because she has more to do, we'll see her survive this attack and will know it wasn't Ben. If that's not the way they're playing it, I think it's equally likely that team Widmore, team Linus, or the island itself killed her.

The only other thing I want to say is that people need to get a grip on two concepts:

1) We don't discuss the promo material from the credit time in the thread. I'm sure somebody is going to be pissed off by that when they see it.
2) Since it's already all over the thread what the promo suggests about the O6, people need to remember that the promos are often written by marketing people who have no freaking idea what is really going on from the way it seems. You can't trust what they say for anything.

what is being discussed about the promo is events that have been on the show already, that is the O6 and who they are.

and it does include aaron.

cuse and lindelof have said in the most recent podcast that they will reveal
who the 6 are at the end of this ep if they think there is still a question as to who the 6 is.

This episode was an hour too short. While I did like the flashback (and the answers), I wanted more with the Island. The ratio of island:flashback/forward was off, but I don't mind.

Oh, and Rousseau better not be dead dammit. And, yeah, Alex was looking a lot hotter (and more mature) this ep..

I thought this episode was pretty good. Glad we got more Kevin Durand screentime.

Had a few problems with Comcast in Philly. Missed the key moment of the Michael / Mr. Friendly exchange.

Also, is it just me or wasn't it revealed before that Mr. Friendly was gay?

Yep, i just noticed his name in the credits a few weeks ago for the first time, and when i checked how long he has been writing, his first episode was The Man from Tallahassee , around the same time I thought S3 really got going. I only became aware of Y:the Last Man last summer and have since become a huge fan, I wonder how responsible the executive story editor is for what i have seen as an imrovement in the story telling.

I thought the same thing...

its not you, it her. She looked striking in the scenes at Ben/John's cabin.

I won't believe she is dead either, she got shot in the gut, she'll be back...

I thought it was identical to what happened in the episode about Juliet. Ben didn't like Carl so he's gone.

I'd don't believe Ben had anything to do with that either. It was "The island".

I guess it is finally, officially confirmed that the timelines are near in-synch. What with Michael having been gone for "over 2 months" (11/23/2004 at the earliest) and Christmas decorations being in the hospital and his mother's house, he obviously wrecked his car between Thanksgiving & Christmas.

That being said, for him to come back, lose Walt, get all depressed, attempt suicide, recover from a nasty crash, meet Mr. Friendly, get to Fiji, and to be on the freighter several days before 12/24/2004... He sure had a hell of a busy month.

Except for the damn HD feed cutting in and out and audio issues, thanks Comcast.

He was sent back in S2 to free Ben from the hatch. Ana Lucia was guarding him and Mike took the gun to kill Ben. Instead he killed AL and was interrupted by Libby walking in. He quickly turned and fired, hitting her in the gut (twice?) through some blankets. This was sort of referenced in the hospital dream with her bringing blankets in over her stomach.

Who is Kevin Durand? The cheese dick who was shooting skeet off the side of the freighter?

Yea, he plays Keamy. He's the same guy that told Frank last week not to be late for their flight/errand.

Has it been referenced at all as to whether or not Carl is hearing-impaired? I don't know if anyone can get a screenshot of it, but when Carl's killed and Alex is over his body, Carl has an earpiece in his ear. But it's flesh-toned and more like a hearing aid rather than the typical apparatus (name?).

Made me think, maybe, it was staged? He was antsy before everything happened, maybe he had a radio in his ear?

Any other speculations?

And, yes, Alex is looking much hotter now than before.

I know that stuff in "previews" are considered spoilers, but since the explicit showing of the Oceanic 6 is referring to past episodes, I don't believe it is a spoiler.

I also realize that promos aren't canon. But, maybe someone put it there so we can stop bickering about this topic.

Or maybe we can start a new thread: "In Denial: Kicking Aaron Out Of The Oceanic Six."
