No, the toy place looked like a commercial jet, sort of like the one they were on that crashed.
So Locke could read the sign plastered up against the window reading “Stop banging on the goddamn hatch!”
Locke was paralyzed for four years, yes, but Walt was only two years old when Michael’s accident happened, which makes that more like seven or eight years ago.
Ditto. But it does fit the “somebody lied so somebody died” possibility, which upsets me greatly. And if Boone dies, Shannon will be unbearable.
No, it said, “To open, break glass.”
I think it was Marcellus Wallace’s soul.
Didn’t he tell someone about his foster mother? It was something about his sister dying and the mother being upset and not leaving the room until a mysterious dog showed up? Didn’t his foster mother believe it was the sister?
I think they’re misinformed- like most of the population. Even many catholics believe that virgin birth and immaculate conception are the same thing. It really bugged me last night, but I wrote it off as the CHARACTER being crazy and ignorant at the same time.
In this ep, do you mean? He told his real mother (if she really is his real mother, that is), when she asked if he was adopted. He said no, that he had grown up in foster homes. Lil’ Mahoney is also right, if you don’t mean this ep.
Good memory.
So he has a history of loopy mother figures…
IIRC, the toy looked like a C-47 cargo plane - I think the commercial name was DC-3, and the crashed plane didn’t.
Out of curiosity, could someone clear this up?
When Locke and Boone were searching for the plane I thought Locke took out a compass and checked his course. Earlier in the series he gave his compass to Sayid saying he “didn’t need it anymore.” Was it really a compass he consulted and if so is this a clue or a continuity error?
Okay, for the people in the know about the episode descriptions and spoilers for Do No Harm…
Could the grand romantic gesture that Sayid does for Shannon in Do No Harm be his agreeing to hunt down and kill Locke because Shannon holds Locke responsible for Boone’s impending death? After all, the spoiler lady Kristin has said that Sayid would set out to kill a survivor…
One of the finer points of Catholic theology that gets pounded into you if you go to Catholic school. The “Virgin Birth” is what it sounds like. Mary gave birth to Jesus without having “known” a man. “Immaculate Conception” refers to the fact that Mary was born without Original Sin. Original Sin refers to the belief that all people are born with the legacy of Adam and Eve’s first sin in the garden of Eden on their soul. It’s said that Mary, in order to be worthy of being the mother of God, was the only human (after Adam and Eve) ever born completely free of sin.
I believe this is one of the main points on which Catholics and Protestants disagree.
Sorry, my answer was to the quote within SenorBeefs post, not the question about the plane.
Why would you expect some wacky woman out to bilk her own son out of a kidney to use the correct terminology? Makes sense she would mess it up.
The island was taking away his legs, so perhaps it took away his new found sense of direction too.
BTW, is there any reason we should believe that ‘Locke’s Father’ is really his father? The entire thing could be a pure scam: an unscrupulous rich guy setting out to scam a kidney that is a good match. He figures that it would be easier to talk a “close relative” into donating, and that the people least likely to know their relatives are orphans, particularly ones that didn’t ge adopted.
So he uses the PI to find vulnerable ophan candidates – perhaps uses him to insure they’re at least the proper blood type (it’s on most Driver’s Licenses, isn’t it?), sends in the (also hired) fake wacky mother, and waits for them to show up on his door step. The paternity blood test is really a tissue matching – non condidates get blown away, good matches get wooed.
I don’t see a plausible way that the guy can control which investigator Locke decides to call.
As previously mentioned, Kate’s toy plane looks like a DC-3 (a/k/a C-47 and about 20 other designators) It has a single vertical stabilizer.
The plane that crashed was a Beech (Locke said so), I think model 18. It has 2 vertical stabilizers.

Good point. We are both of the opinion that everything on the show means something. He thinks it was a deliberate statement, meant somehow to imply that Locke was conceived without original sin. Or whatever passes for original sin in this particular context. I am not 100% in agreement with him. But then again, I am usually wrong, so …
