An overtly religious episode, one that certainly doesn't refute my purgatory theory.
Not a whole lot to discuss, frankly. I think Claire turned on Charlie awfully quick in the last few weeks, given that he's been her go-to guy from the time of the crash.
Charlies actions in this episode seem to validate Claire's mistrust - if that is, the viewers didn't know that the dreams and sleep walking were real.
Locke continues to be an obnoxious a**, and I'm probably reading too much into his role as the guy preventing the baptism. In the teaser for next week, Locke is again on his high horse and in opposition to Jack; the guy makes me ill.
Kate and Sawyer: He can have her. I fail to comprehend where her newfound attaction to him comes from.
Hurley and Libby: she gave me the creeps. She quickly deflected his "Do I know you?" question, and I'm eager to learn her crooked past.
She is cute though.
Was there any significance to the burning bush, especially in light of the whole Aaron/Moses theme running through the episode?

I was originally in line with your theory....but have since revised my position on the whole LOST experience...it's all about the power of the mind and suggestion. They are all "the others" the plane crash, the flash backs, the way you see appearences of some of the fellow survivors,etc...all a product of them all being part of the same experiment. They are isolated on an island off the African coast. This island has a strong magnetic force (either man made or naturally occurring) that magnifies the physic abilities of all these people. Those known as "the others" to the survivors are simply those who are aware of the physic suggestion and the origin of the experiment those who do not yet have this knowledge are "the survivors".
Legitimate studies have proven that children have a heightened physic ability which deminishes over time. This may be the reason children are garnered by "the others". they strengthen the illusion that is shared by the collective illusion being produced by those participating in the experiment.
My guess is the reason for the connectivity and background similarity has to do with where the study subjects orginally came from....for example were Sawyer and Kate brother and sister...but not really...were Boone and Shannon brother and sister brother and sister...but not really.....those who have weaknesses...drug addiction, mental disorders,(manic depression, paranoia, anger addiction) (Ana Lucia, Hurley) physical handicaps (Locke in the wheelchair), ....those who work with these types of people, doctors, nurses, priests, thearapists....All could be part of a program that participated in such an experiment or study.
