Hurley: Dudes! I was playing with the radio that Sayid was fixing up. And for a second it tuned into something… I think it was news. It said the Red Sox won the World Series this year!
Jack: That’s it. Everything’s so clear now. We all died in the crash, and this place isn’t reality. It’s the only possible explanation.
Those are the ONLY two possibilities?!
I no longer doubt that something supernatural is going on, but that’s a pretty big leap to make from the presence of one map.
It’s certainly implied by the map that the plane is from Africa, or at least has been there, but little beyond that.
I just replayed the clip a few times where Boone makes his transmission from the plane.
I am 100% sure the guy said: “No! We’re the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815!”
That changes the whole show for me! That black lady is right! Her husband is alive with others!
Or with THE OTHERS.
:eek:
I’m not disagreeing with you, but I’ve just about gone deaf listening to it over and over again and I could easily be convinced either way. Are you sure that that’s not just what you want to hear?
I’ll have to pay attention when I do me re-watch. This site* has the transcripts, but the most recent episode isn’t posted yet-- hopefully, we’ll see it there soon!!
*no real spoilers, although it does have future episide titles.
That’s a weird way to say it, instead of “Hey, so are we! Where are you? Do you have any deodorant left?”
Okay, I’ll be the first to admit that I’m needlessly obsessed with my wild-ass theories. But has anyone else tried our favorite six numbers as latitude and longitude coordinates ?
Hoooooly shit. :eek:
A mere 20 km from Banga, Central African Republic, hmmm…
Doesn’t help us with the view we had of the numbers being engraved on the capsule [hatch].
Maybe the Nigerian pilots put that long. and lat. into their calculations and were heading for it to deliver their heroine…and “something” happened to them.
I listened to that several times and all I get is “[Locke screaming at Boone] Flight 815”
I don’t see how anyone can be sure of what got said.
I’m game for all sorts of weirdness, I just have to wonder how all the weirdness fits together.
What happens if we reverse the coords? Turn them backwards? Exchange lat for long?
Of couse you get different points if you assume north / south and east / west
(typically North and East are positive)

I’m tired…
Do any combinations put us in the South Pacific?
4,15,23 8,16,42 gets VERY close to Nigeria
http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?searchtype=address&formtype=latlong&latlongtype=degrees&latdeg=4&latmin=15&latsec=23&longdeg=8&longmin=16&longsec=42
n / s wise it isn’t hard to get to the south pacific
but e /w requires large values
4.81523, 162.342 is close to Micronesia
http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?searchtype=address&formtype=latlong&latlongtype=decimal&latitude=4.815&longitude=162.342
but 48.1523, 16.2342 is close to Viena.
even keeping the numbers in 4 8 15 16 23 42 order can lead one many places
(didn’t even try DDMM.mm format)

Local station went to a weather alert just after Boone said “Theresa was my nanny”.
Anybody want to fill me in on the next few minutes, or give a link to a good transcript site?
Other machines prominently tied to the story: Locke’s father’s dialysis machine, and the wheelchair in which he no longer sits (but in which we saw him briefly during his nightmare for the first time since the initial reveal). If you consider the possibility that Locke views the island as some sort of god figure, and it’s working its will through him, that makes Locke himself the “god by machine.”
They might as well start engraving Mr. O’Quinn’s name on the Emmy now.
