Ethan Goodspeed is the son of Horace from Dharma, we found this out in Season 5.

I have a questeion.

Why is Ethan refering to himself as doctor Goodspeed?

Wasn’t Goodspeed Horace’s (From Dharma) last name? Also Goodspeed was the name of Horace’s son, the guy who is sent to infiltrate the tail section of the plane.

So if Ethans name use to be Hode why is not now in the alternate reality Goodspeed

Also please keep in mind that in the alternate reality the Island doesn’t exist, it’s under 100 feet of water….

Wasn’t it wierd to see Ethan checking out Claire?! He said things like “I dont want to stick you with needles if I dont need to.” and I kept thinking “YEAH RIGHT!! YOU DID IT BEFORE!!”

anyway, I agree…I am left with more unanswered questions….and I keep going back and forth between who is good and who is bad. Those writers sure know how to keep us confused and on the edge of our seats.

The sub would’ve left the island with Miles, Ethan, and their mothers on board, regardless of the events that we saw happen in the 1970′s. We know this because Miles grew up, on the mainland, without his father in his normal timeline. That means, without the intervention of the survivors, the sub would’ve left with the women and children on board. Miles and Ethan.

But Miles makes it back to the island. Ethan must have as well, sometime before the Oceanic flight, because he appears as an other, already well-established, when the plane crashes.

In the alternative timeline the island CAN’T exist, because if it did, Ethan would’ve been on it.

“Ethan is â€œoffâ€ island because he would have been put on the sub and sent off island â€“ just the same as miles and his mother. ”

Hmm…although Miles and his mother are sent off the island in the original unaltered timeline…

The others at the temple are hereby known as “Templars.”

Ethan is “off” island because he would have been put on the sub and sent off island – just the same as miles and his mother. If you notice, I believe this is the first time Ethan is called Doctor Goodspeed.

*correction: not that it *never* existed but that the island as we know it in S1-5 was annihilated.

Also, this may not be important but each episode ends with the word “Lost” in white appearing over a black background. However, at the end of a previous episode (I think it was the final episode of S5, “The Incident”) the word “Lost” was in black appearing over a white background. Obviously this wasn’t accidental so I’m sure it means something significant. I’ve heard someone say it means that what we’ve come to know as “good” and “evil” are perhaps inverted after that show.

On a side note, the Others that we see at the temple, I’m pretty sure they’re baddies. Claire, although apparently infected, I think she’s probably good. I guess we’ll have to wait and find out!

“I suspect that the explosion somehow caused the island to never exist in the alternative timeline; this is why Ethan is â€œoffâ€ the island. Maybe the alternative timeline, then, is what couldâ€™ve been if the island never existed.”

I’m thinking something along the same lines. Perhaps this is why S6E1 begins by showing viewers the island *under* water.

Sara, you’re right. Maria reminded me of that little exchange right after I posted this. Now I don’t know what to think. It’s the same infection that Rousseau’s crew got, it must be, unless there are several infections on the island (unlikely). But Rousseau never got it — why? — and why is Claire acting exactly like Rousseau? Ahhh. Head explode.

BUT according to samurai dude in charge of the temple Claire isn’t fighting the infection, she has the infection! Remember when he was telling Jack about how the darkness was going to take over Sayid and he said ‘It already happened to your sister’?
