Michael’s Description of Camp
Michael gives us the first look into the camp of the “Others”. The information below was provided by Michael and we can hope that it is truthful but I am very skeptical. Something happened to Michael and he is not his normal self.
— The Others sleep in canvas tents and teepees (a slight upgrade from our tarp town on the beach)
— The Others live off dried fish
— They walk around barefoot and in dirty clothes
— Michael did not see the boat
— The Others have a hatch with double steel doors - the doors are manned by 2 armed guards 24/7
We know that the Others dress down only to give the appearance of being shipwrecked on the island. The fact that Michael saw them this way could be a set-up … a plan to lure the Losties with a false sense of superiority.
Something or someone is definitely in the hatch. Michael mentions that someone is always guarding it. I wonder how long he staked out the place.
The fact that there was no boat leads me to believe that this is just one of many potential camps that the Others use.
My personal prediction is that the Michael we saw was not right in his mind. Something is going on which forced him to kill Ana Lucia. Why would he do that when he is trying to raise an army to get his son back? Going back to Prey I can’t help but think about the main character’s wife after she was infested with the nanobots. She looked normal, she acted fairly normal, but then she flew into fits of insanity. My guess is that Michael has been infested by the nanobots and is under their control. That would explain his killing of Ana as well as the potential betrayal to our Losties.
