        <![CDATA[ Being that we are now on Dec 22nd island time, how does this (if at all) figure into the season 3 finale or season 4 opener? I would think that an island filled of mostly Judeo-Christan plane crash survivors would feel far away from home around Christmas and after finding out the world thinks they are dead, depressed. Are the writers just going to pass over the season without Huley dressing up as Santa Claus to lighten up everyone's spirits, Desmond catching game for Christmas dinner, or... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ On the sailing off the island thing.... it's possible the island screws up compas headings...I remember hearing about places where using a magnetic compas in the ocean doesn't work in some parts, only a gyrocompas works. So, Ben telling Michael to head out on bearing 325 could result in one long circle back to the island. Kind of like &quot;Take course 325 so we'll see you in a month you asshole&quot; That's why the underwater sonar beacon is so important, to give a fixed navigation... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ With all that's happening regarding the Others, possible rescue, danger and peril and all, I don't think anyone's particularly in the MOOD for celebrating a holiday. If they're aware of the date at all. Besides, they're far too busy making preparations for war.<br>
<br>
Even if Christmas comes AFTER the events of the Finale, I don't think the general gloomy mood is gonna be lifted. And there'll be dead people to bury and threats will still exist, and, well. . .<br>

			<description><![CDATA[ I think the point is that occurences on the island could affect different parts of the globe, assuming that what happens on the island could lead to the salvation or the destruction of mankind.  Through what means we don't know yet, but we do know that there are different places on the planet that share island related effects, like the healing zone in the Australian outback.  The &quot;incident&quot; could manifest itself in strange ways on &quot;connected&quot; locations on the planet.... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Except for the fact that Desmond was shipwrecked you'd expect him to be a darn good sailor since he was entered in the boat race.  If his compass were screwed up it should be noticeable as compared to the position of the sun in the sky during the day and the stars at night.  (There must be an equivalent to the north star in the southern hemisphere, right?) If Desmond was drunk the entire time he was attempting to sail away that might explain things!  Somehow I don't think we'll get any... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ well, if you've ever owned a sailboat, most of us just go where the wind takes us then go back to the slip - it's called recreational sailing. In a desperate case like Lost you would still follow the wind I suspect plus compass readings. Of course the compass readings would be totally false. But the wind directions? you could &quot;throw caution to the wind&quot; as it were and hope it would take you where you need to go - or get OUT - of the loop you're in. That part I find a little weird,... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Why was Desmond unable to escape the island?  Why did Ben mention that someone in a boat would simply travel in circles around the island?  Is it because navigation by compass or electronic means (like GPS) is unpossible because of screwy electromagnetic effects?  And what if you try to navigate by the sun, stars, and moon?  Shouldn't that be possible if the sky appears to be normal from the island and surrounding waters?  What's so special about using a heading of 325 degrees to escape the... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ There's not much evidence that whatever makes the island hard to get to or leave isn't merely centered around electromagnetic phenomena. I don't think the island is literally invisible, it's just hidden to radar detection and the like, and is far enough out of the way that not many seagoers notice it. As stated by others, the sun gets through, and so do the stars (in fact if they had anyone with a basic knowledge of astronomy they would be able to estimate their position based on where and... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ There's absolutely no reason to expect waves from the real world tsunami to affect the LOST island.  We all know that it appears to be a relatively closed system with specific entry/exit points.  Desmond simply sailed in a large circle and could not escape the island.  So why would a tsunami wave be able to hit the island?  (For that matter how would the sun be able to shine on the island either, but I digress.)  But we do know that there are special places on the planet that are probably... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ If they used a tsunami, it'd probably be a BIT more on the believable side. The lostie army is off attacking the Others' camp (guided by Karl), so they're inland. Since they can't leave everyone else in the wide-open-to-attack beach camp, everyone else is either at the caves or at The Pearl. Both places are on higher ground. They probably packed and took clothes, meds, essential stuff.<br>

			<description><![CDATA[ I actually didn't know about the effects on the Pacific, so I did some research. Certain channels of the Pacific plate trafficked waves to some places in N/S America, including reports of 8-foot waves in Mexico. The area the Island is believed to inhabit was nowhere near any of these channels. None of the other affected areas of the Pacific reported waves higher than a foot or so, if at all. So if they are &quot;hit&quot; by the tsunami they shouldn't even notice, and any major depiction of a... ]]></description>

You don't think that they'd use an event that killed an estimated 300,000 people worldwide in the show? The initial surge was 100+ feel tall! Even if it hit Lost island at 20 feet tall or so, it would wipe out the beach (and maybe some redshirts) Normally the Pacific Islands had a tsnaumi warning system in effect, however, thanks to Purple Haze, it most likely won't trigger any warnings on the... ]]></description>
