I think it's safe to say that Amy's baby Ethan is the Ethan we met in season 1. I try to keep in mind that it is still a TV show, and for them to make us think it's the Ethan we know and then later be like..."nope, fooled you HAHA that's just a co-inky-dink...baby Ethan is just some other random guy" - would be really lame. I think it's very significant that Juliet delivered him. When we saw Juliet first arrive on the island Ethan said to her "it's an honor to meet you"...as if he knew she was the one who delivered him. I could be wrong...wouldn't his last name be Goodspeed? Unless he changed it.

Alex
Rousseau's daughter who is kidnapped by the Others sixteen years prior to the crash of Flight 815 and raised by Ben. Alex aids the crash survivors in various escapes and eventually defects at the end of season three. She dates Karl, but Ben tries to keep them apart because she would die if she becomes pregnant. She is executed by Keamy.
Richard Alpert
Ben's advisor who is seemingly ageless. In flashbacks spanning fifty years, including being present for Locke's birth in 1956, associating with Ben to purge the Dharma Initiative in 1992, and recruiting Juliet to the Others, he always appears to be the same age as he is in 2004. In the fourth season, Richard leads the surviving Others to a place referred to as "The Temple". He is shown to come into contact with John Locke several times during the latter's early life. Juliet has said that Richard has always been on the Island and, when questioned about how old he is, cryptically asserts that he is "old."
Mikhail Bakunin
is one of the Others and has lost one of his eyes. He lives and works at the Flame Dharma station. Locke, Sayid and Kate find him and take him hostage. He manages to escape and later sets off a hand grenade, which kills both himself and Charlie at the Looking Glass Dharma station.

is the Others' highest authority. With the exception of Ben, the Others do not have regular contact with him. Jacob lives in a cabin that seemingly moves and is invisible to some people.

Thanks, but I didn't really mean "who" are the others, but who, what, where are, did they come from......

Good summory, though it still does not explain who they are or where they came. Which we might not find out until next season.

My theory, which probably SUCKS, is that they are a group people who know how to travel in time, and have used that ability to create a hidden land where they can live in peace, harmoney, and equality, away from the not-so-good intentions of another group of time-travellers who use that ability to better their own lives, at the expense of us ignorants who don't know how to time travel, and make themselves immortal, etc.
And just incase anyone thinks it's my idea, which I would be happy to claim if it were, the idea is taken from 'Rant' by Chuck Palahniuk - not sure if I've mentioned his book yet lol (I'd ask Chuck for a commision if anyone actually listened to me )
I like it for its ultimate conspiracy theory quality.
It's obvious that the Others are the ones with the real pregnancy and childbirth issues. Many of their members have been kidnapped. If it turns out that baby Ethan is the adult Ethan we know, then he also was kidnapped. They took Alex. They took the children from the survivors, both the losties and tailies. So, they need to keep their society pure. Children are pure. The adults they have taken, Cindy the flight attendant from 815, must have been quite an innocent and I bet religious person. There is a "type" that they want. The others cannot procreate. Don't you wonder why that is? Perhaps it's not just because of the island.
That is interesting, Notso. I have never thought about that before! Thanks!
Maybe they "steal" or recruit from outside of their society in order to fix the infertility problem.
On a side note.....Egypt sits on what is referred to as "the infertility belt"!?
Great connection yourself!!!! There is a pattern starting to form. Links are there for us to see. We just need to keep our eyes open and be able to get rid of any more red herrings they throw in there! LOL!!!!
Other than Ethan, who are the "Others" ?
