- The inside got torched, not the outside.
- Reflective objects are only going to be useful if a) the sun is in the right place, and b) the observer’s eyes are in the right place. Just because something is shiny is no guarantee that anyone will ever see sunlight glinting off it. A fire at night or a large plume of smoke during the day are going to have much greater chances of success than a lucky reflection.
Unless someone else already mentioned this: Why is the rain there starting and stopping so suddenly?
Loved the last episode as well. Thought it was the best so far.
Also, is it me, or does the BIG creature in the jungle sound semi-mechanical?
Showers and storms that come out of nowhere and stop like a switch has been flipped are pretty common in tropical areas. I think we can discount an evil weather machine…for now.
It’s not just you.
I just rewatched it (including the promos) and I couldn’t make out “DAD.”
Like Juniper200 said. Also, it’s filmed on Oahu, where I used to live, and which has weather like that all the time. “Liquid sunshine,” the locals call it.
Speaking of which, does anyone know where on Oahu they film the show? I know the cast lives in Kailua, which (along with the scenery) makes me guess the North Shore, but I can’t tell for sure.
I have the first ep still on TiVo, so I went back and checked this out. To my eye, this black object appears to be nothing more than suggestively fluttering debris.
Mokuleia Beach, I’m told.
Glory - did you ever get a tape? I have one you can borrow - in fact I have it here with me today, so if you want to swing by 115 on your way home you can borrow it today.
Fuselages can land. If a plane’s gear is malfunctioning they’ll have it land on its belly. The tail section would presumably be more dangerous because it tapers and the weigt is weird. Also, I seem to think that when the tail break off in Kate’s flashback we saw it flipping over – that rotation would make it impossible to land safely. Moreover, if you look at the relative positions of the fuselage and the nose, it’s obvious that the tail would have come down well out to sea. I guess it could have been on another island, but that seems both unlikely and cheesy.

According to the Urban Dictionary, Totally Pointless Stuff, Total Piece of Shit, or Toilet Paper Substitute. It may also have a legitimate name, but I’m bettting Locke was intending the humorous definition.
TPS Reports are an in-joke from the 1999 movie Office Space.
The main character’s boss, Lumberg (played by Gary Cole), was always asking him to do TPS Reports. A similar in-joke was included in the Terry Tate commercials for Reebok earlier this year when he tackled a co-worker for “failing to turn in her TPS Reports.”
