I would bet the farm that Karl and Rousseau encounter each other now that they are the only two people that we know of who are not affiliated with the losties or the others. If my hunch turns out to be true; it could go either way... They could form some sort of alliance fostered by their mutual love for Alex or Rousseau might kill him and screw up the only inroad to her daughter.

Your thoughts?

I think that if they're both sort of, you know, renegades in the jungle, it's quite likely that they'll meet. But if Rousseau kills him, yeah, that would probably screw up her relationship with her daughter.

I think it would be great if they teamed up to find Alex. What havoc they could reak together!

I hope for Karl's sake he never gets to meet Danielle.
She would torture the poor kid.

That's a great point, I hadn't thought of that till now. I can see Rousseau torturing him and Karl saying Alex's name and Rousseau experiencing what would be a totally awesome Lost moment ;)

This would be a great encounter! ...however it pans out...

It's unclear where Karl's loyalties lie, beyond wanting to get back to Alex. I hope he meets Danielle since they would both have the motivation to rescue Alex.

Does anyone remember if Sawyer and Kate know the relationship of Alex to Danielle? I suspect it will take Sayid meeting Karl before the light will click on. My guess is that Sayid will make the introduction.

What I'm really interested in is when Karl starts revealing details about the Others. Now we may have a direct link to the Others who may have motivation to "tell all".

Sawyer and Kate should both know.

Karl would make a good mediator for a reunion, but things will have to change or he'd get a bullet in the head if he approached her. Sayid could introduce him but I think Kate would make more sense since she knows both pretty well.

Yes. She would squish him like a bug.

I'm sorry, but I think Karl is just about the most pathetic character on Lost yet.
And I am a booty kisser to tptb so that is saying something. :drowsy:

I would not be surprised at all if these 2 meet on the show. If Danielle finds out the Lostees have a friendly Other in their midst, it would be natural for her to want to ask him about her long lost child. She is afterall the one who turned Ben over to the Lostees alive and kicking in the hopes that they could get information out of him.

I think Karl is just about the most pathetic character on Lost yet.But not the only pathetic one. :biggrin: I think Karl portrays the effects of the "better life" the Others provide captive children very well. They want obediant wimps as the rank and file and were starting to re-brainwash him for showing a spark of independance.

Hadn't thought of this, but this would be awesome. I hope they meet - would give storylines for both characters.

I am a bit pissed at Jack, Kate and Sawyer completely neglecting the thought of Alex being Rousseau's daughter since they ought to know - with Rousseau basically telling her tale on the beach in Exodus, and Kate and Claire being on the medical hatch trip together.

One could assume they're just thinking what are the chances of these aspects fitting, but knowing that the others have her, and didn't even use the liberty to give her a different name than her birth-mother gave her, one would guess that they'd just put 2 and 2 together :rolleyes:

In Danielle's universe I think the words "friendly" and "Other" are mutually exclusive.

Yep, she's either gonna a) kill him, or b) torture him and then kill him.

I would not be surprised at all if these 2 meet on the show. If Danielle finds out the Lostees have a friendly Other in their midst.

Karl isn't in their midst, though. He's making his own way across the island back to Other Suburbia to rescue Alex. Kate and Sawyer are trying to get back to the beach.

But not the only pathetic one. :biggrin: I think Karl portrays the effects of the "better life" the Others provide captive children very well. They want obediant wimps as the rank and file and were starting to re-brainwash him for showing a spark of independance.

Excellent point! I may be able to live with that wimpy little brat after all ;)

I think that is a great idea. I can just see Karl "Yeah, that guy you put the arrow through his shoulder, yeah that's Alex's parent. Not you." Good times. Not that Karl really knows all that info. But we all want him to say it. :)

For Alex's sake I hope she never meets Rousseau. I'd rather have creepy Ben be my fake dad than wackeau Rousseau be my real mom!!

But, sadly, I think it's almost ineviteble that they will meet sometime. But as for Karl, I thought he was heading back to Otherville. And since Alex is already there Rousseau really has an equal chance of running into either Karl or Alex. And, during 16 years Rousseu has never found them (ok we don't know that for sure) so I don't see why she would now. But, like I said, I'm sure they will meet sometime.

Do you suppose they have already met?

...But as for Karl, I thought he was heading back to Otherville. And since Alex is already there Rousseau really has an equal chance of running into either Karl or Alex.

Remember that Karl had asked Sawyer for directions to his camp when they were both in the cages, as if he was desperate to find refuge from Ben & co there. Now that he feels his life is in danger from Ben again, I wonder why he turned down the chance to follow Sawyer and Kate there? Does he really want to go to Othersville? if not, where's he going?

I'm suspicious. Are he and Alex really in cahoots with Ben and playing Sawyer and Kate?

Billy Shears -I think you might really be on to something here, I just re-watched the ep and I find the scene where Alex talks to Jack in the cage kind of suspicious. Alex was able to check Jack's motives for saving Ben, which could help The Others get a better Idea of where his loyalties lie and help anticipate any future treachery. But more importatnly, this scene sets up Jack to "rescue" Juliet, thereby putting Jack in a situation in which he thinks he's in control.

I'm not totally confident about this theory, but I am certian that The Others are preforming some kind of a deception that we are still ignorant of, I just don't now how deep it goes.
