Two weeks without “Lost”, so maybe a little entertainment is in order to while away the hours…
Too bad Jack Bauer wasn’t on that flight. He would’ve discovered the hatch, destroyed the TCM, killed all of “The Others”, and somehow made radio contact with a rescue ship saving everyone, including CFL, all in exactly 24 hours.
Lord Greystroke would have discovered a strangely intelligent species of giant ape and arranged for everyone’s rescue without loss of life.
Conan would have hewn skulls in twain with his mighty thews (whatever those are), drunk all the liquor and ravaged the women in a polite way if that is possible.
Oh, and pried open the hatch, again with his might straining thews. (WTA.)
If MacGuyver had been on the island, he would have created a radio out of coconuts, gotten into the hatch with three palm fronds, a boar’s tusk and a golf club and created a motor for the raft with two rocks, six sea urchins and using boar dung as fuel.
Or maybe I’m thinking of The Professor…
If Luke Skywalker had been on the plane, the hatch would have a symbolic battle that shows him how he can be corrupted by the dark side.
If Superman had been on the plane, they would have landed safely in L.A.
If Sydney Bristow had been on board, she would’ve been wondering whether “Locke” was FBI Assistant Director Kendall’s alias, and then trying to figure out if Rambaldi was involved in the entire thing.
Weiss being eaten by the TCM was not part of the mission.
