When he heard them talking about Danielle... he kind of looked suprised...

Anyone see?

I wonder if she is a double-agent.

Seemed like he was listening as if he reconized her voice to me.

I believe this epi was specifically designed to throw a little light on Danielle's "story" and what inconsistencies there might be because of several parallels between her story and Patchy's. We should be suspicious.

I think there's a lot about Danielle that we don't know yet.... :hide:

I wonder if she is a double-agent.

I wondered that too.

But which side is she *really* working for? :rolleyes:

Haha, which sides are there?
Right now, it seems like our theories of how many "groups" are on the island, and who owned/started/is currently using what is all up in the air.

Though I agree..I also noticed she mainly stayed behind him, hence only voice recognition as mentioned.

Rousseau is full of it.

Whether she was really part of a lost science expedition, or one of the Others, I am convinced that she is working toward her own agenda.

I don't buy the fact that she's half-crazy either.

Danielle may be one of the "original" hostiles.

I think she did not want to go closer because someone there may recognize her.

I didn't notice the look, I 'll have to watch for it again but I agree, they seemed to intentionally give the impression of similarities between Danielle and Patchy

I'm beginning to think more and more that Danielle may well have been one of the others, and could even have really been Ben's wife. Yes, I'm starting to think that Alex may just be Ben's biological daughter. Something awful must have happened to cause Rousseau to leave the Others camp to go and fend for herself.

It just seems more and more as if her story about all of her shipmates dying is complete b*llsh*t...

I agree that Danielle's behavior lately has been fishy, and I'm afraid that she is being set up to have some connection with the Others. I'll be very sad if/when this happens, because I'll bet you Sawyer's whole stash that this was not what the original writers intended when Danielle was introduced in Season 1. She was presented to us as a not-quite-sane recluse who had lived alone and in fear for 16 years. "Where is Alex?"

As the plot has progressed, however, and the island has gone from being spooky and deserted to a highly-populated byway, dotted with outposts and festooned with all the trappings of modern convenience, it stretches credibility farther and farther to say that Danielle had never seen anyone before the 815ers came.

My worry is that the writers will resolve this by making Danielle a liar, when it was the obvious truth of her story that made her first appearances so powerful.

The look on Patchy's face can be easily explained as "whose is this new voice? How many are they after all?"

Btw, it's so hard to act when part of your face is hidden, especially one eye, but he did it well.

I noticed this too, it's quite deliberate, the camera actually focuses on Mikhail while he makes a "do I recognize that?" face.

The easiest explaination is obvoius: Mikhail lived in a communicatoins station for, presumably, a very long time. He was bound to have picked up Danielle's distress call. But, to be fair, I do think this is kind of a cop out, and think that they know each other from somewhere else.

Yay! I'm not crazy. No one else I;ve talked to noticed how surprised Patchy looked when he heard Danielle's voice.

i think theres a connection between desmond and some of the others/dharma that we havent yet learned.

I'd say there's a very strong possibility of this.

i dont think this matters as after the hatch's explosion, they all fell in apile easily revealing each other's faces......either he was surprised there was someone else or surprised of WHO it was......im shootin wit the latter simply because its LOST

yup, after watching the ep. <77> a couple more times, the look on Mikhail's face when the camera holds on him for a long time right when he see's Dannielle as he is being led out really stands out.


Forget the guy with the eyepatch... of particular interest last night was Danielle. Her disappearing act last night was eerily reminiscent of the 1st season when she led them to the Black Rock and then just took off into the jungle. Here she goes again, only this time Sayid questions her.

"I have survived this long by avoiding these types of encounters."

This was a very strange thing to say. Here's someone who was hellbent on getting her child back from the Others during season one, yet now she's got three armed and capable people with her on a joint mission to find Jack AND Alex... and she's uninterested? Sorry, that just doesn't add up. Either Danielle isn't who she says she is (which is a distinct possibility) or she knows a LOT more than she lets on.

Mikhail said that there was a purge after the attack by the scientists.. I think Danielle's group were the ones who attacked eleven years ago and caused the purge...

It sounds like she is dharma. Her science expedition was also well armed so it wasnt just any old expedition. Plus in scenes that were cut from the first season she says that they were researching "time" to sayid when she had him. This is something only dharma would be invloved in and know about.

so, if she is DHARMA, and her team was DHARMA, then the "infection" that messed up her team could of been what is also called "the purge"

Indeed - there may be a reason why Danielle refers to the Others as 'The Others'.

ie. She was a part of their group, for some reason left it (or maybe was cast out) and then 'the others' came after her to get her child when she gave birth. There seems to be a big issue with the Island and having children.


It's also stretching credibility when she claims not to have seen 'The Flame' before. She has been roaming around the Island for what, 16 years+, and yet she has never some across any of these installations or the Others' camp? I don't think so.

I agree - I think it would be way more interesting, poignant, etc. for Danielle to really be who she says she is. I also think that the original plan was for her to be exactly that. But since so few of the plot threads these days make any sense, it really makes Danielle look like a moron if she really hasn't come across the Others or the bunkers/hatches, etc. in all the time she's been there. So the current writing team may have decided that they would make her an Other. It may (or may not, who knows) make more sense this way, but IMO it's a complete copout to go in this direction with her. :rolleyes:

OK, I was just thinking about it, and this jumped out at me:

Of all the people we have seen or even heard about coming to the island, we have seen proof of their arrival in one form or another (and I hope I'm not forgetting anyone):

Crew of the Black Rock: The ship is still in the middle of the jungle

The Losties: We actually saw the plane go down, and saw the wreckage until it sank into the sea

Yemi and the Nigerian drug runners: We saw their plane in the tree

Desmond Hume: We saw his sailboat, it's actually still in operation

Henry Gale: We saw his hot-air balloon in the tree

That leaves the only person on the island not affiliated with The Others, Danielle Rousseau. We have never seen her boat, we've never seen (nor has anyone asked to see) the graves of her teammates, we've never seen any proof whatsoever of her story. There has to be a reason for that. It also, as many people have stated, makes absolutely no sense that she would never have seen any of these major structures that The Others have been using. She did imply that she avoids confrontation and stays mainly hidden and underground, but she DID have maps of the island, which means she had to do a fair amount of travelling. Inconsistencies abound!

so, if she is DHARMA, and her team was DHARMA, then the "infection" that messed up her team could of been what is also called "the purge"

Speaking of infection....look at Patch's face in this screencap. Do you think he has the sickness?
