A connection?

I was watching the episode were Rousso cought syid in her trap. Something hit me.. the sickness for some reason infected all her team exept herself and her daughter. so the sickness is (or was) infact real. my question is why did'nt daniel get sick? the only way you couldn't get sick is by the serym the was found in station3. My thery is that Radsinsky might have been involved in the capture of rousso and her baby. But i don't think Radnzinsky helped capture her, i think he tried to help her. He must have given her a serym shot and left in the jungle. Besides it sayes quarintine on the door! And I think in an future episode, when it's rousso based, I think we will see Radzinsky for the first time!!

Did you ever think that perhaps Rousso was the only one from her team to get "sick", instead of the other way around? She seems a little on the insane side, if you know what I mean.

I thought that she (or the Others) killed everyone on her team except for her daughter...

yes she did kill them she said they were sick. even dead bodies can still spread the disease. though we don't know what type of sickness it is or what it does to people

it would be interesting to find out more background on Radzinsky and his time on the island... he started the blast door map, afterall, and taught Kelvin about the swan hatch...

Kelvin seemed to know the others only as hostiles that lived on the island, but who knows for sure.

as for Danielle, that has to be an interesting story as well... I have long wondered why the others allowed her to remain on the island... the only thing I could think of is that they were observing her as part of their research.

as for the sickness, Danielle might have had something genetic that made her immune to whatever affected the rest of her crew... that would also explain why Alex appears to be just fine as well.

Danielle certainly seems a little nuts, but I suppose anyone would after living alone (well, not alone, but without human contact or interaction) on an island for 15 years.

I dont think that Radzisky had any involvement with Danielle or her group... more likely, imo, is that Radzinsky was assigned the swan hatch a looooong time ago, told that someone would be relieving him, and his relief never showed (Kelvin came to help, but not to replace him). the others knew of him, the swan hatch, and what was going on, but werent particularly concerned about it. Radzinsky ended up committing suicide to free himself from the the island, the hatch, and the button.

as far as Danille is concerned, I would not be suprised to find out that there was some sort of genetic disease on the island due to research gone bad/whatever, and that when her team landed on the island they were all exposed, but Danielle was immune for some reason (genetic) and the others took her daughter because of that very reason, so that they could test her, and find out why she was immune...

I think that the sickness is a particularly interesting, and long lasting, mystery of LOST.

What we have as evidence of the sickness is Danielle R.'s ascertation that the rest of her team got sick, along with Desmond taking some kind of injections and the Other giving injections to Claire for her baby. Also there was the quarentine sign and additional medicine in the food drop.

Conversly, the survivors have been on the island longer than Danielle was when she claimed the sickness started with her crew. Also, Kelvin himself seemed to think the quarintine was not real or serious based on his actions. And the Others are either immune to whatever sickness is on the island, or simply don't care. They have brought plenty of members of the survivors into their presence without a fear of contamination.

Frankly, I am not sure what to make of the sickness. I am inclined to believe that the quarintine and medicine is a ruse used to keep the isolated Swan crew members from making forays away from the station and that Danielle went crazy and killed her crew. But that is me, I don't take everything that a character says as fact.

it definitely is a mystery at this point... there is evidence to support either the presence of a sickness, or a fake sickness used as a control...

and we dont know that whatever the others were injecting into Claire was because of the sickness...

also, it could have been that the sickness was real at one point, but isnt an issue any more, due to all those infected having died already...

another mystery: if the island has healing properties... what exactly could the sickness be? perhaps the term "sickness" was used to describe people going crazy due to visions and whatnot that they were seeing because of the island...

also, as for Kelvin, it could be argued that the vaccine/medicine that he was taking and that he gave to Desmond is also curative/preventative... iirc, he mentioned something about Desmond possibly being exposed, but that it might not be too late even if he was. Kelvin either didnt believe the sickness was still around, didnt believe it was ever around, or thought that he could survive limited exposure to it.

plus, there is always the chance that the sickness is related to radiation of some sort, possibly centered around the swan hatch.

there are definitely plenty of options.

I dont think that we will find out one way or another until we find out more about the island itself as well as who the others are and what they are doing there.
