lol, honestly yes. His character wasn't great or anything, but he was pretty prevalent in the first season, and got to act along side with Locke for a lot of it. That would've been pretty sweet. Not sure if you watch Chuck, but the lead in that show was also up for Boone when I was doing the auditions, but supossedly got turned down because he was too tall, skinny, and funny, that's what he said at least.

But it still got to me when Boone got to make out with Shannon in the hotel room in Australia. Even though they were step-brother and sister, I would've loved to be all over that!

You own up to your jealousy. I can respect that.

Book of Law and Locke's Test:

EKO: What the secretary had found was an ancient book -- the Book of Law. You may know it as the Old Testament. And it was with that ancient book, not with the gold, that Josiah rebuilt the temple. On the other side of the island we found a place much like this, and in this place we found a book. [Eko unwraps the book and pushes it toward Locke] I believe what's inside there will be of great value to you.

I knew I remember seeing that Book of Law in a previous episode. That was the book that Eko gave him that was hollowed out with the Dharma film reel. Hell yeah, glad that's been placed in my mind now.

Yep...I did not remember that either.

which means, time goes by slower or faster depending on the timeline on which you exit.

if the helicopter did't follow the due north bearing..it would be coming out on a different time line all together, and or taking much much longer to reach it's destination due to the slip space.

I've been curious about Locke's love of backgammon, so I finally looked the game up on Wiki. I found this:



Look familiar? Apparently backgammon is a game about movement, moving your pieces (survivors?) home.

Good find. As well as moving the survivors home, it could also be about him moving the island away to a new spot.

Any theories on how Locke is going to move the island?

Not exactly sure honestly. The island is an anomaly for sure and it has and possesses so many powers. I'm assuming the island has been moved before, and is fully capable of being moved again without much of a problem.

"moving" the island could just be a figure of speech! we don't know if he's actually planning to move the island

Maybe if they moved the island before it could explain how the "Black Rock" slaver ship ended up there.
