One of many things that doesn't quite make sense. If they can escape, why don't they? Why are they still there? There has to be some sort of sinister (probably corporate) explanation.
After all, you can't just maintain a suburban community in the middle of a jungle with electricity and plumbing using old supplies. They must be getting stuff in somehow. I guess the other possibility is that the "Others" aren't trapped at all, but are choosing to be on the island for some sort of nefarious purpose.
I'm still wondering about Henry Gale/Ben saying "we're the good guys" at the end of last season. Does he really believe this? If so, what does he believe they're doing?
One theme that has occurred throughout is the "long con"-- Sawyer's storyline is one example, but also the fact that the Others are revealed to have been "posing" as savage island inhabitants. One wonders how much of what's going on now is simply another layer in that con. Are they really as they appeared in the kaffeeklatsch/book club? Or is that just another layer that will peel away to reveal something else?
