I have had my doubts about Amy and Paul since they were first introduced. Amy seemed a little too eager to "off" Sayid when they were trying to figure out what to do with him. Is it possible she knows the others and therefore knows Sayid is NOT an Other/Hostile?
Recall that she pulled the Ankh from Paul's neck before sending his body away with the Others. Why would they want or need his body anyway unless he was possibly one of them. Now Amy is gung ho to kill Sayid based solely on what she has heard. Personally, I would want to at least listen to him or see a video feed or anything other than other people's opinions before VOLUNTEERING to have someone killed.
Maybe this is just my warped Spidey senses going off again but does anybody else get the feeling Amy is somehow associated with the Others?
No, I wondered the same thing! Something has been fishy about her since we first met her.
But if she was with the Others, why would she want to have him killed? Maybe she knows,he's not an Other???
I don't find it too odd, afterall, it was the Hostiles who killed Paul, her husband. She obviously loved him very much because she still has the ankh and Horace and her got into an argument over it 3 years after the fact. So she is most likely still frightened of the hostiles, and now that she has a child, she wants to keep the baby safe. Now that doesn't mean there isn't more to it though.
I too have suspected all along that she is a hostile. She knows Sayid is not a hostile. She also knows he is not part of Dharma. Remember how she treated sawyer and them when she brought them in. She knew they were neither hostile nor Dharma, just remember the look on her face when she removes the earplugs.

I don't think there was Other-ish conspiracy/malfeascance involved. It's as simple as this:
She's a woman and a new mother at that, and is making her decision on an emotional, knee-jerk reaction.
(Lest anyone accuse me of sexism here, the men are just as dumb because they so quickly acquiesce and go along with this. If Horace was running a tighter ship, Amy, as his wife, shouldn't have ever been there for that meeting. That's very poor leadership and a serious boundary violation.)
But back to Amy and her argument:
No appeals to logic and reason, just emotion. A "think of the children!" argument. I seriously laughed out loud at her brief statement, and then ended up shedding a tear on the inside when everyone else went along with it, because this is sadly how things usually go in real life, too.
If you disagree, try this: A fun drinking game is to watch any political convention or campaign speech, and drink everytime "the children" or "the future" or, better yet, "the future of our children" is mentioned.
I got that feeling as well. I hadn't bought the "Amy was going to defect to the Hostiles" theory until her vehemence about killing Sayid tonight. I really believe she will take Ethan and "defect" to the Hostiles before too much longer.

You will be sloshed by the end.
You could be right. She is just not a very likeable character somehow....maybe that's why I'm suspicious of her.
But I'm gonna trust my instincts and go with ... she's hiding something.

Oooo... That would make a lot of sense. It would explain how Ethan ended up w/ The Others.
I'm thus not as certain about my last comment, that she was just being irrational, although that's still a possibility.

We really don't know that she 'loved him'. Her marriage to him might be part of a cover and keeping the ankh might have been a signal for all we know.
Somehow Ethan became an Other. Its possible that they Hostiles took all the children out before the purge and raised them...
