Interesting that you choose to label her that way. Her eyes have always been the main thing I noticed about her–but not that they were beautiful, that they were weird looking and not attractive.
Trickle charge?
I agree. Then again, as soon as I saw the thing turn red I’d have started yanking wires, myself.
The whole dead man switch was just kind of ass-backwards. Keamy goes underground and the signal still makes it to the boat? In a big metal room? There’s weird time/space stuff going on and Keamy just knows his ace is still going to work correctly?
Personally, I thought it would update only so often, in which case I was expecting Locke (not the brightest bulb in the chandelier) to at least TRY to pull it off of Keamy and just put it on himself. That’s what I would have done, anyways.

Excuse me? Locke is the guy who blew up the radio station AND the submarine so people wouldn’t be able to get off the island. Locke might (might) have some qualms about the Losties who might be on the boat when it blows, but on the whole he would be delighted to have it gone.
It’s a little known fact that time moves from left to right. As such, to get to the island moving forward in time you go on bearing…
Nevermind. It’s complicated.
Oh, and why did Jin get killed again? Because he was hoping that he could figure out how to disarm a bomb (this would be fisherman-turned-doorman-turned-mob-heavy Jin) that was set by a presumed professional?
It’s not like the liquid nitrogen took two people to work it.

Sure, if you look at it that way. But if you look at what happened THIS episode, Locke sure was mad at Ben for killing Keamy - and allegedly because of the effect it was going to have on the folks involved with the freighter.
-Joe
Locke blew up things to cut off access to the real world, but he hasn’t murdered people who he hasn’t viewed as a threat (except the Man from Talahassee by proxy) - anyway, it makes sense that he’d try to prevent the freighter from being blown up.
If you want to get all cold-blooded, he could have tried to save the freighter until he’d at least decided whether or not HE wanted to blow it up.
Instead it was just like, “Eh, I guess they’re screwed. I’m gonna go meet my new cult.”

Yep. I’m wondering if the “ancient civilization” things we’ve seen — big statue foot, island moving wheelhouse — might be from an Atlantean civiliation and the reason we’ve never found Atlantis is because the Atlanteans moved it when they were discovered.
That’s just wild, unfounded speculation, mind you.
Something I forgot to mention earlier. When Ben was pushing the wheel It looked to me like the area above the wheel had a strange texture. Almost like there were words carved there but they were covered with ice. Did anyone else think that?
Here’s the screencap from Lostpedia–I think it’s just frozen rock (unless you can make anything out, I freely admit I’m exhausted).
Merijeek: in fairness, a) Jin might very well have done some work with explosives during his time as a mob heavy, b) everyone else was running around and screaming and trying to get off, including Desmond trying to warn the helicopter; he’s pretty much the only guy there to help.
The dead man’s switch was pretty flimsy, though. They should’ve just had it so that Keamy is the only one who knows the code/number/whatever to disarm the bomb, and if he doesn’t get back within a certain time it’s set to go off in x minutes. That way he’s still got his leverage, and the thing still blows up the freighter.
Well, there is a part that looks like a bunny face with it’s ears out to the sides. It’s about a third of the way from the right (lined up with the lower part of Ben’s calves)… does it mean anything?

A few questions about the Kate/Jack timeline. The court scene was before the moving in together right? Do we know why the estrangement before the trial? She seemed pretty upset about him being there.
What was Sayid protecting Hurly from? Why would anyone want to harm Hurly, he’s crazy and locked up, where’s the threat?
Last observation. Sun seemed to want the collaberate with Widmore, for them to work together. Her conversation did not sound like a threat to me.
Maybe that’s what she wants him to think.
Does anyone else see, just to the left of the “bunny” in the ice what looks like a fraction? *** i/h*** I’m mathmatically stunted but I did Google it.
Hmmm…
Not sure if this has been posted before, but here’s a link to a deleted scene from “The Economist”. Pretty interesting.
I’m wondering if Ben killed Sayeed’s wife in order to manipulate him into working as his personal assassin. Up until know I have believed his whole “I don’t kill innocents statement”, but then he made the boat go boom knowingly. I can see no reason for Widmore to have killed Nadine regardless of what she had been told. What’s one more in on the secret? He’d be gunning for all of them if he cared that much.
Not to mention is there any reason why if you knew you were running out of fuel you’d be flying 100 feet up in the air? Why not fly 10-15’ up and then hover at the last possible moment or slow down so you don’t have this big crash?
You can see farther the higher you are. Perhaps he hadn’t given up hope of spotting an island or ship or whatever.
But if Ben really did teleport/time travel to Tunisia (and it looks that way with the injured arm and the coat and the extendo rod of doom), then he was in the “sapce between spaces” when Sayid’s wife was being killed.
