He was comparable to the original Star Trek's red-shirted crewmen, who were there mainly to be killed off. Usually without ever uttering a word.

I was watching it with friends and when the poor fellow bought it all of us kind of looked at each other expecting some sort of revelation as to who this joker was.
It was nice safe episode that fell, tragically, into two big drama/soap opera cliches.
1- Kill off random person nobody ever heard of and act like they're important.
2- Someone gets amnesia.
I'm a big fan, but was severly disappointed in this episode. One, they managed to catch the bad guy. The same bad guy that previously seemed to be two steps ahead of everyone, fell into a trap because he didn't expect a trap. Yeah, Charilie and the gang are just going to leave ol' Claire out there in the jungle walking around, come on and get her no questions asked.
Of course, Ethan? had to die, but it was bit too neat that Charlie was the one to do it. Didn't see that one coming.
This show has become a staple of my television viewing. I'd hate for it fall into the same boring, trite, predictable storylines that seems to run rampant on network television.
Oh well, there's always next week, no?
