I mean, from the previews we got leading up to the premiere, that "I can't say it's our...primary objective." used to give me CHILLS because it was so creepy. But it turns out he's a pansy like me

Fascinating thoughts. edited to add: link Last Edited By: ddeweyduck 02/08/08 8:28 PM. Edited 1 times.

I <3 Faraday, and I <3 that he is a pansy. The actor(i'm bloanking out on his name, Jeremy???) is doing a fantastic job. Brillant. good epi, Locke had some great moments and so did Sawyer. I wanted the red head to stay dead though

Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	About Miles' gizmo - I took it to just be something that he plugged up to make it look like he was doing something. It would also make his clients feel like he was doing something if they heard that thing running. Just a thought.

If Ben already knew enough about the freighter to send Michael and Walt to it then that says to me he already has someone on it. Why wouldnt Walt help Ben? I can understand Michael not being so hot with the idea...but Walt is projecting himself to help Locke, right? Locke and Ben have alot more in common than not. Mainly their love and belief in the island, and their insistance in keeping it safe and keeping people on it. So if Walt is helping Locke, he'd be helping Ben in alot of ways. Especially if both Ben and Locke are working under Jacob. I can see Walt wanting to help Jacob. Also, it explains the best on how Ben has been able to communicate with his mole while the island was incommunicado...Walt can project.

There could have been some kind of communication Ben made every 3 days or something to relay that he was alright, and he missed it. They could be there to rescue him, not knowing he doesn't want it. I think Naomi was sent to capture/kill Ben. She was the only mercenary of the group. The others are way too diverse with traits specifically honed to what the island is about to be there as back up to the capture/kill Ben thing. They are there to do something else, but we dont know what yet. My guess is to get the Dharma stations up and running and manned again. Charlotte obviously works in the biology research one, Daniel works in the button pushing one, Miles works in the astral projection one...basically cleaning up the mess Ben made when he joined the others and killed all the Dharma people.

If Naomi was there for Ben, then where did the "I was sent by Penelope Widmore" story come from? I wouldnt be surprised if this group was put together and sent to the island, at first, actually thinking their were no survivors. Desmond had been pushing the button on the island for years, right? There were video tapes and logs being recorded in that hatch beneath the plane that were being sent back and forth to the base off the island. Widmore knows that Desmond got lost around the vicinty of where this island was supposed to be...Penny, Widmore's daughter, knows this as well and knows enough about the island to look for electromagnetic pulses to find him. At this point, i think Penny has broken off from her father, and both are trying to find this island, for different reasons. Penny's father, knowing that Desmond is on the island and knowing the relationship to his daughter, got a copy of the picture from his daughter, and gave it to Naomi to make contact with Desmond once on the island. If you befriend Desmond, you have an ally in guy in your help to find Ben. Why Desmond? Cause i think that at the point Naomi crashed onto the island, which was well before the rest of the team made it...they didnt think their were 815 survivors on the island to make contact with. You might think the time between Naomi crashing on the island and the rest of the team crashing on the island was relatively short...but we all know that time moves faster off the island. ;)

Yea, remember on one of the Dharma videos in season 2 that Locke watched? it had a list of the stations and kind of what their areas of studies were...i forget the specifics as well, but generally that is the idea.

Seemed like a throwaway line that was barely audible, I had to rewind to hear what he said. But also an important clue, perhaps? Pretty sure it was just a reference to Michael Faraday, the physicist (explained in previous posts and lostpedia). Seems like Daniel Faraday will be an important character, if he is able to explain half the stuff that goes on at the island that'll be good enough for me. All four of the new characters were introduced really well. Man that was a great episode, can't wait for next week.

Of course if she knows so much about the island, and is aware that Desmond was in the Swan hatch when the purple flash went off she might not even have expected him to be alive. And I don't think the members of the team even realize some of the strange properties of the island, or that it might exist in a different dimension or time. The comment about the light scattering differently would be very difficult to gauge with the human eyeball unless he also has some special gift like Miles. I suppose some gift that lets you see the polarization of light or some spectral properties that are different than the real world might turn you into a physicist - or a starship chief engineer. It's possible that Miles' carpet scrubber was just a prop to fool his ghostbuster clients. Afterall he didn't need it to communicate with Naomi. But I'd also expect this to be a gizmo that might have been developed by the Dharma Initiative or the DeGroots and would have been something they might have scaled up to work on the island, or to affect the entire island. The little gizmo might only work over a radius of 20 feet or so but a giant one built under the Swan hatch that produced large magnetic fields and what not might have been built. We still don't know what the Swan hatch really did, or why the buttons had to be pushed, or what the purple flash was. My guess is that giant version of the gizmo might be what's responsible for cloaking the island or shifting it in time or whatever. Maybe Miles can use it to enhance his powers, or to create a local time bubble or to shift into another dimension where dead spirits exist. It could also be possible that all the whispers on the island are those of people who died on the island and that sometimes they mesh with the island world.

I wasn't expecting that at all after those previews.

I guess there wasn't anything to say at that time. It makes it weird now to think about what Naomi and Charlotte were thinking when they first saw Ben. Because I would've thought Miles would've shown the picture to everyone on the freighter, and it seems like Naomi was the brains of the whole operation since Abbadon was talking to her in the flashback.

Back when the hatch imploded the sky turned pink & everyone started acting wierd. The producers said this would come into play later & it would explain a lot of things.
