I believe they already have :D Joe

I suppose I should take some comfort in the thought that the Europeans are just as screwed-up as we are. :) I, of course, was thinking of this home-grown cluster-f***: NASA's metric confusion caused Mars orbiter loss :D Regards, Joe

Or forgot to convert from English to metric measurements. Not that a scientist would ever make a mistake like that. :D Regards, Joe

Hat-tip Defamer: The L.A. Gossip Blog. "Hey, I don't know what's going to happen either, and I'm IN the @#$%ing show."

JF really should have chosen a name from the B5 universe, not Star Wars. He's like a Vorlon, very oblique and eliptical. :D I assume he's referring to the Dharma collar on the polar bear skeleton that Charlotte found in Tunisia (not Egypt - see "Nigeria/Ethiopia", above :)) in a flashback...

I wouldn't reject the idea out of hand. Certainly the notion that there is an intelligence connected with the island doesn't seem outrageous. Someone or something moved Heaven and Earth to get certain people to the island. It does seem that there is will, perhaps a personal one, behind many of...

I agree that Locke didn't move the island, although not for that reason in particular. For one thing, I'm not sure why the prohibition would apply to a corpse. (Assumig Locke is actually dead.) I'm less sure about the absolute impossibility of the "island mover" ever returning. Yes, Ben said...

Well, she could have figured out what was causing the problem after she killed them all... ;) Regards, Joe

"during which Danielle did no time travelling". Well, no time travelling that we know of. It is true that we never see her time travel or doeing anything that remotely suggests time travel during the period she is in contact with Alex. But we also never see her doing anything remotely suggestive...

OTOH, if the "illness" is related to the time distortion, there's no reason why it couldn't have been brought on slowly by extended exposure from living on the island rather than all-at-once by passing through the initial field around the island. Regards, Joe

Oh, crap. It's starting again...

Well, whoever heard of one hiccup? :D

Sorry, computer hiccup. Nothing to see here. Move along, please. :)

As noted above, I don't believe Widmore and Dharma constitute a "we" (for one thing, there is very little to suggest that Dharma is still a going concern in the present day. We see next to know evidence of activity from them after the late 70s or early 80s. Certainly they never upgraded much of...

Why would Dharma send anyone to the island? Ben and the Others would have had no problem keeping up the appearance that Dharma was still in business on the island. They had access to all of Dharma's records and communications gear, and Ben had spent years quietly spying on them. (Janitors have...

Interesting theory. If you're right, then we've ended up with exactly the situation Widmore, Jack and Ben were all trying to avoid - there's a bunch of witnesses to events on the island and the fate of flight 815 who are not under anybody's control and aren't committed to keeping the secret by...

They'd all die. Why would Ben care about any of them? The survivors had imprisoned him and tried to kill him more than once, Juliet betrayed him and Charlotte and Miles were part of the group sent to slaughter his people and kidnap him. Remembers, in my theory it is not moving the island that...

I don't think he knew the island could be moved. Certainly the Dharma people who built the Orchid didn't. But the Orchid was part of the secondary protocol that Keamy and the mercenaries were putting into effect, which Faraday greatly feared. My theory is that the Orchid equipment can be used to...

I thought I saw a glimmer of chemistry between them. I think Sawyer really looked at Juliet for the first time, and liked what he saw. (The fact that she was sitting there drinking rum and loosening up some - as it would have appeared to him - probably had something to do with it.) That plus the...

Or any non-couple. As I mentioned above, there are lots of ways for two bodies to end up in a common grave. At this point it is still an assumption that they were even buried at the same time. On another topic, here is a list of the major philosophers that characters are named for...

:eek: Joe

Jin will be back - not via time travel or flashbacks.

Ten virtual HTF bucks says neither of these predictions come true. :) Any takers? :D Regards, Joe

With all the Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland/Through the Lookinglass allusions in this show, it seemed appropriate. "Bye boys, have fun storming the Orchid!" ;) Joe

I still don't remember that, and unless Jack or Locke/Bentham told the other four, there's no way they could know whose idea it was. I don't think Jack would have mentioned Locke because Kate, in particular, was still very suspicious of Locke and his motives after Naomi's death. By presenting...

Yeah. Sorta shaped like this: ;) Regards, Joe

But that is very clearly what Jack means when he tells the same story at the press conference, even more so in the extended scene where he names the other three and indicates the order in which they died and how long after the crash that was. (Boone, almost immediately after reaching the island...

I have to admit I have a tough time following the exact timeline, so forgive me if I'm way off base here. Do we know how much time passed between Ben's arrival in the desert and Nadia's death? Given that "The Others" have a well-financed and connected presence off-island, Ben might not have...

It was the alias Locke used when he returned to the States. It appears he was some kind of semi-public figure at the time of his death, despite the poverty-row funeral, since he rated an actual obituary in some newspaper. Maybe he was openly recruiting new followers to bring back to the island...

The mystery isn't the fact that Sawyer has a daughter. There are actually three mysteries: 1) What is the favor Sawyer wanted done with regard to his daughter? 2) Why did he ask Kate rather than anyone else to see to it? (Especially given that she was apt to be headed to prison once she...
