and I'm Lost all over again....

[kexodusc]

well the only thing i picked up from the announcement on the intercom system was a countdown with the woman's voice. after the countdown, the walls dropped. i thought i picked up something along the lines of "everyone proceed to..." something-or-other. and then the countdown and then the "lockdown" ("lockedown"). then, (as fake-henry said) everything went dark for 10 seconds and then the lights came on. now there are certain inks that will only show up under blacklight, so it wasnt anything radiation related (i dont think, also see the Gone in 60 Seconds with nick cage, when they write the car names on the wall so it shows up with the blacklight). and i dont think that that was put there by dharma, but by one of the inhabitants of the hatch trying to figure things out.... (ala desmond) or, who knows. haha.

desmond, if i remember correctly, was on some worldwide catamaran type trip when his ship struck the island in a storm. some sort of solo-sail-around-the-world type deal.

the drop is interesting because noone heard a plane pass over the island. fine it was dark, so they wouldnt see it if it was flying with lights out, but it would still make noise? unless it wasnt a jet plane? the other big news is then... dharma is going on in "our" world here away from the island. it couldnt be entirely automated right? someone flew that plane and dropped the supplies. i'd have to say this is WAY more intricate than the stanford prison experiment.

Well, I suppose a plane could have dropped the package from super-duper high altitudes. You don't always hear a jet if it's flying at 30,000 ft plus. But damn, that's some drop accuracy.

Maybe it was launched by rocket trajectory and used the 'chute to land within a certain radius?

Did Desmond use the computer to communicate with the outside like that old film reel said shouldn't be done? There was a significant amount of time delay in between the sirens ending, the UV lights engaging and things coming back on. I don't believe he told the truth and merely entered the numbers as per instruction.

fake-henry totally did something with the computer (i think you meant fake-henry, not desmond). if someone has the episode, can check, but i thought waaay more than 58 seconds passed between when the siren stopped, the walls went back up, and locke crawled into the computer room to see the timer JUST flip from 108 to 107. which means henry might have typed the #s in, but also something else, since it didnt reset immediately (unless my timing is off and it works fine). PLUS... he knew those #'s, someone rattles off 6 random #'s to me in a stressful situation ONCE, and i know am not gonna have them memorized just like that. he may not be an Other, but he knows the #s. and he knows something about dharma. maybe "walt" talked to him on the pc too? they really got to tie that storyline back in soon.

Don't forget thjat FH also fell, hit his head, passed out, woke up later, and still remembered the numbers.
