anyone else a radzinsky fan? when we first heard of him in season 2, who woulda thought he'd turn out to be a sorta manic bootleg paul giamatti? the degree of dharma's militarization bugs me out.

the episode was cool. dan was running amok, high on his own free will and then, boom, he got sonned by his own fate. i was kinda glad to see him go, the creepy scene with charlotte and his mewling for Mother's Approval may have irrevocably harmed my opinion of him.

also:
* Baby Dan must already be around somewhere - I don't see Ellie letting anyone up her skirt again after she finds out she shot her own spawn. Maybe the island gets pissed about it, too, and starts killing pregnant women and their fetuses to keep it from happening again.

* The revelation that Widmore's Dan's dad was lame but it shed light on why he tried to keep Desmond and Penny apart.
