One thing I took note of last night was the over-abundance of young, fresh-faced Others. College age - like Aldo, and a few of the other henchmen. Perhaps Mittelos Bioscience offers one heck of an internship program!

I was wondering that too. We (think) we know where Alex came from, but where all these young people like Carl and Aldo coming from. Or, are they really super old but they look young because of the island's healing powers (or is that too sci fi?)

Aldo and Karl don't look to be much older than their late teens to me. If it's 2004 on the island, that means they would have been born in the mid 80's...

I wonder if they were born on the island.

Remember Ben told Jack his real name, he mentioned that he has lived his whole life on that island... Was he born there too?

Ben is the daddy of all of them!

Seriously, I've noticed that outside of the core characters in the Others (Colleen, Juliet, Bea), the Others are almost entirely virile young men.

Maybe Ben's breeding an army to fight the Military Others

BTW - this is totally silly - but I saw a HUGE resemblance between Aldo and Eddie (the cop who foiled Locke in Further Instructions)

We see a fair sampling of others in TO2C, inthe plane crash scene. Young, old, male, female. Maybe there are more young guys in Alcatraz because it is,... well, Alcatraz...

I still say it was a lucrative internship opportunity through Mittelos Bioscience!
