why is walt wet? (wiww)

if you haven't seen lost, please stop reading. if you have, then, please continue...

this is the inaugural Why is Walt Wet (shouts to Chan for the idea!. rather than compete with the thousands of other lost blogs/pages, i've decided to focus in on one thing. why is walt wet?


the wifey and i are rewatching lost, and we just finished the first season, which draws so many paralells to the conflicts of the last season it... makes you appreciate good writing and story telling. anyway. we just saw the walt-snatching. i finally made the connection that the others weren't after aaron, they were after walt, which begs the questions, when did they become aware of him? did ethan inform them? how could they tell he was special or did they know? how could they know he was special? did they watch him beat hurley in backgammon or throw the knife with locke?

hmmmmmmmm..
