I don't trust *any* of the Others.
Uhhhh... doesn't that kind of answer your comments about suspension of disbelief?

I thought it developed Jack interestingly, which was nice. I've never had the same dislike for him that many seem to anyway though.

And... you oughtn't to hold your ideas of 'season premieres' and whatnot. The show as a whole being viewed consecutively is what matters, not where there happened to be breaks during production for various reasons. That's the only reason such occurs - to maintain interest in the months a show is off the air. I'm more interested in how it will all fit together in a couple of years when I have the whole thing on DVD and can watch it consecutively than how it happens to be because of various contrivances.
