Lost: The flight of the birds

The cast of Lost posing pretty and clean on their island, which is located who knows where.
Well, Clair was once a brunette. Who’d have thought? What a rebel teen. I guess it goes along with her unwanted pregnancy and everything. She’s definitely got the moody teenager attitude down cold. But seriously, Jack and Claire are half-brother and sister?! Or did I mess that one up? It just keeps getting crazier and crazier.
It was nice to learn more about Claire. I don’t understand who the father of her child is, however. They never really went into that. They just like to let these things dribble out, don’t they? I think we could all relate to Claire in this episode though. The moodiness of being a teenager and hating our moms while loving them at the same time is something just about everyone goes through. Getting in fights and accidents that “weren’t our fault.”
On the other hand, the Others keep getting stranger with their lists and knowledge of those on the plane. None of it really makes sense. How do they know everything about these people? It is all getting a bit too supernatural for me, a little too conspiracy theory-ish.
Locke is getting a bit weird, too. But nothing was as weird as seeing Jack playing football with an Other! What an ending!!!! Is it just me or are these shows never long enough?

Yes, Clarie and Jack are half-brother and sister. An earlier episode already looked at who the father of Claire's child is. The father is just a guy who said he wanted to have the baby with her and then changed his mind. Who the father is wasn't the point. The point of that episode is that after the father said he didn't want anything to do with Claire, Claire decided to put the baby up for adoption. She was on the plane to give the baby away when it crashed and she ended up on the island.
It was always very conspiracy theory from the beginning. So I think Lost is consistent in maintaining that trend. It was actually pretty supernatural from the beginning too. Remember the polar bear and that random trail of smoke with a face? If anything, it's gotten less supernatural now.
I will agree that Locke is definitely getting weird. He's almost out of character now. And of course the shows are never long enough!
