But I wonder, had they just promised him some video games or something, if he would have cooperated. Those Others just don't have very good social skills. :-DCapcomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841675195251354073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448824486226424563.post-27839763234363332332007-12-13T15:04:00.000-05:002007-12-13T15:04:00.000-05:00I think Jacob and the Others were interested in Wa...I think Jacob and the Others were interested in Walt because of his abilities, but then it turned out his abilities were a bit too strong for them to handle.

Please don't take me out to that line and offer to exchange me for Walt. That'll never work. :)lost2010https://www.blogger.com/profile/11130295675635684508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448824486226424563.post-1917975804697956182007-12-12T13:01:00.000-05:002007-12-12T13:01:00.000-05:00It's kind of funny, Mike has no idea why they real...It's kind of funny, Mike has no idea why they really let them go! I mean, Mike would probably be thinking, "Wow, I'm so smart, I made a deal with these guys to help me get My Boy off this island!" When in reality it was more like the Others saying, "Get the he&& out of here with your weirdo kid and don't come back!" :o)Capcomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841675195251354073noreply@blogger.com
