Yes! I defintely agree. He embodies all the characteristics of the main players -- a leader like Jack, a competent tracker like Locke or Sayid, spritual like Locke, capable of battle like Sayid, etc, -- yet combines all these features in a unique, mysterious, and powerful way. He is on his own mission, which we have yet to discern.

I also thought it was interesting that now we know for sure that there actually is some disease on the island that the others have probably been vacinated against. Up until this point it could have been any number of tropical pathogens making them sick. I'm a microbiology nerd; so i think its neat.
@EyeAmEye: I could see the writters writing in the dissention he is causing just to stir the audience up a bit. I predict that the guy isn't an other; he is what he says he is, and is simply trying to cause trouble to get out of the armory. But you never know.
Do you guys ever get the feeling that when the series does come to an end down the road that it is going to be the most dissapointing ending ever with no real resolution of whats going on, just something completely random. Or even worse they never tell you so that way it will all just be driven crazy by not knowing.

Yes, the locker finding was eye-opening. Things ain't what they seem to be.
The whole disease/pathogen/quarratine thing is a bit fuzzy -- I'm sure we'll get alot more on this...
I'm not sure about the Henry guy -- but he certainly is devious (whether he is an Other or not).
About your last comment -- I am worried a bit out that too. The end, if it ever arrives, may be an anti-climax. That happened with the calssic British 60s show, The Prisoner.

WEll, the Others clearly are obsessed with stealing children. It must play into the whole disease/pathogen thing. Last night I wondered if they had all become sterile (due to the "disease") and needed to steal children to keep their population growing. Alternatively, i wondered if kids somehow provide natural immunity to the disease. Come to think of it, maybe Aaron was infected with something, but has already developed antibodies.
