So, uh, great episode, I think. I guess I don't have much to say about it, though. I wondered about the flight manifest thing last year. (That is, why would the Australian authorities book Sawyer on a flight under his alias? Therefore, Hurley and anyone else who reads the manifest should know his real name. And, apparently, they do, or at least Locke does.) Also, every scene with Terry O'Quinn is the best scene ever.
And Rousseau's daughter (she did eventually say it was a girl, right?) is apparently an Other now.
And so on!
(And "Mr. Friendly" quotes Alvar Hanso.)

When did they mention her daughter? I must have missed that.
I found it interesting that the Others didn't acknowledge the fact that our protagonists are *unwilling* residents of the island. Also, why did Sawyer call the bearded man "Zeke"? Was it some reason I can't remember, or was it another of his nicknames he seems to give people?
You'll have to enlighten me on the Hanso quote. The site seems to be down at the moment.

Rousseau's daughter is named "Alex". Others McBeardy told someone named "Alex" to bring out the tied-up Kate.
And Sawyer presumably called him "Zeke" because he looks a bit like some sort of grizzled prospector, or something. He looks like a "Zeke", basically.
