Danielle said that it was a security system when they were hiking to get the dynamite iirc.
The monster look like a bunch of metal shavings. Maybe they are being controlled by the big magnet.
A bunch of mind-reading metal shavings???
As opposed to mind reading nanotech? 
Considering that any technology capable of manufacturing nanotech at that level should have all sorts of other neat tricks, why not?
That’s just the Accelerated remote Viewing project.
I didn’t see this the first time I watched the episode… but look closely at this screen capture when Jack walks in on Michael. Very curious.
Maybe you’re just being glib, but I think you’re a little off, Merijeek. Compared with the other members of the Raft-- his kidcentered, pyromaniac son Walt, the always abusive Sawyer, the ugly side of Jin – Michael was not even a minor asshole. At his worst, he’s an overprotective pussy with asshole-ish tendencies. *
Michael is an unemployed hit and run victim divorced single father of an estranged child, manipulated by guilt and coercion to give up paternity and visitation rights by his betraying conniving ex and her enabling cowardly tool of a husband. But while he’s had moments of doubt and fear, he’s always looked out for Walt, he’s contributed to the community of Lostaways, he’s moved past his differences with everyone he had problems with, including Sawyer. Total assholes don’t have that kind of growth.
*From Team America World Police: “Pussies don’t like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes: assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is: they fuck too much or fuck when it isn’t appropriate - and it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes, pussies can be so full of shit that they become assholes themselves… because pussies are an inch and half away from ass holes. I don’t know much about this crazy, crazy world, but I do know this: If you don’t let us fuck this asshole, we’re going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit!”
Whoa.
Remember the warning in the film to not use the computer to try to communicate with someone? There’s something fishy going on there. I don’t think that’s just Walt sitting at the other end. There’s something more complex going on there.
Probably just phishers.
Oh. My. God. :eek:
How come Jack is the only one with really sweaty t-shirts?
And this is ALSO the same guy who orders Sawyer (the guy who helped build the raft and who took a bullet trying to save WAAAAAAAAALT from the wavebillies) off of his raft after it had been demolished and they were floating on the debris.
Michael is a total asshole. WAAAAAAAAALT is just his excuse.

I seem to recall Sawyer sitting on his ass a lot while Jin and Michael did disproportionate share of the building, or maybe that was just the first raft. That’s just being an asshole.
-
Remember why Sawyer was hanging on to the debris? I do. Sawyer made Michael use the flare gun. The wavebillies were headed in the opposite direction. Sawyer bears some (unintentional) responsibility for Walt’s kidnapping, and he won’t admit it. That’s just being a dick. If he hadn’t taken a bullet, he’d have been an asshole.

See, that’s what makes Michael such a pussy. I wouldn’t have fired the flare if my gut was telling me not to do it. I also would not have handed Sawyer back the gun after he dove off after the rudder. I would have stuck to my guns (pun intended), damn the outcome, and not blame other people (like Sawyer) for my desicions. That’s such a pussy thing to do.
In summary: Mike is mostly a pussy with asshole-ish tendencies. Sawyer is mostly an asshole with pussy-ish tendencies. Both of them can be dicks, though. Jin is a pussywhipped dick. Sun is a dick with a mantrapping pussy. If his powers are as great as we suspect, then Walt is a little asshole. Kate is a dick with asshole-ish tendencies and uncharacteristic moments of pussyitude. Eko and Locke are dicks, though Locke was a big ol’ pussy before he set foot on the island and Eko was always a dick. Hugo, Rose, Claire, Bernard and the psych doc are all pussies. Sayid is, oddly, about equally dick (for his industriousness), asshole (for his torturing) and pussy (for enabling Shannon.)
The four biggest assholes on the island, in descending order of magnitude, are a) Charlie, b) Crazy French Chick, c) Jack, with d) Ana Lucia in the running to overtake Charlie, and only because both those assholes Shannon and Boone are dead. Come to think of it, all the other assholes on the island tend to end up dead: Nathan, Ethan, Charlie, Arnzt (?)…
Hey, I’ve been saying for episode one that I’d really like to hear the scientific explanation for how a jetliner comes apart at cruising altitude and 48 people (70-something, now) live to walk away from the crash.
The image was too dark for me to make anything out. What was it showing?
Or how there is a tropical island at least 5-20 miles across with potable water, plentiful wildlife and yet there are no tourist resorts or a local government on it…
If you accept there’s a vast multi-government conspiracy going on to keep the island off satellite maps and away from air traffic & sea lanes, it’ll help you sleep better at night. 
Actually, I accept that the island isn’t really on Earth. Either that or it’s being hidden by some sort of hypertechnology.
Well, Disney did own the island, and they were going to do GauguinDisney, but then everyone, including the director of theme park development, a Ms. D. Rousseau, disappeared.
Disney just wrote it off.
