I kinda care about the redshirt too. But not really. ;-) I care more about Claire and Sayid.

I'm not sure what happened to Claire but but I'm really glad she'll actually be on screen so that we can see what happened to her. You're right she wouldn't have abandoned Aaron without a fight. Not the Claire I remember, anyway.

Now, you make me think it's about one of the neglected female characters you are the patron saint of! Hmm. :-)
