That's an excellent point. It originally set sail from England, then it was supposedly going from Papua New Guinea to Africa, but it's now wrecked somewhere in the south-Pacific. And the ship diary that Widmore bought was found off the coast of Madagascar.

And now it's wrecked so far in-land on the island, which has always been pretty weird to me.

Agreed. I'm certain the island can move in both time AND space. It's seeming more and more like a kind of mobile habitat from the future.

Locke will move the island with the orchid or the temple. It just makes sense.

X the Dude X:

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.

I so remember that now!

well that wasn't a bad episode, nothing too special though.. i'm really curious how the oceanic six end up together

[X The Dude X]

That was sweet ass episode. We saw so much, that episode was packed. Answered a handful of questions as well.

I wonder what the hell Ben has up his sleeve and how he's going to get himself out of that situation. And where Richard is leading that group to? And that was a shit ton of C4 on the boat.

Then the preview for the finale looks awesome. Sucks that we have to wait 2 weeks for it, but it sucks ass even more that the next season won't start until January.

sucks we have to wait 2 weeks to see the finale =(

I think Richard is leading them to the Temple. REmember, he took the group of Others (so many of them survived as you can tell) to the Temple on Ben's bequest.

This episode also showed, conclusively, that the Oceanic 6 have lied to the public beyond compare. This puts the whole idea of many of the other survivors being dead into question. Methinks they will be trapped ona moved island.

SPeaking of: My friend thinks that the Island has moved at least two times. The first when Desmond moved the key. The second when the sky turned purple. An inter esting theory, somewhat backed up.

I also found it hella amusing that you guys were wondering when Claire and Jack would find out about eachother and tonight we did.

Let's see...any other reveals we're missing? Oh yeah. Hurley is plagued by the numbers still.

I wonder if any math wizzes have calculated the chance of winning the lottery and then finding the same combination randomly in a car and as a computer password?

I think Sun's statement to her father that he's one of two people responsible for Jin's death because he put Jin on the flight is revealing. It goes to the theory that everyone was intentionally put there by someone.

Dharma (who I believe wants to keep the island alive for the wrong reasons); Ben, Richard, and Jacob (who want to keep the island alive for the right reasons); and Widmore (who wants to destroy the island). All of the 815 survivors were somehow put on the flight and the island by one of the three.

I also think three very important families and men tie into this: the Shephards/Christian, the Widmores/Pene's father, and the Kwons/Sun's father. I think these families and men are the forces behind: the island, Widmore (obviously), and Dharma, respectively.

And I think the Oceanic 6 are lying about the other survivors because they think it will keep those left behind out of some kind of danger.

I think Jin is dead. Sun was pretty pissed at her Dad blaming him for Jin's death and using that as a motivator to take over his company. Why blame him in that way if you know Jin is alive and may show up someday?

The other possibility is that Jin somehow goes back to the island before it is moved and Sun witnesses the island disappearing. She might then believe he is really dead.

How much cash did Oceanic give each of the 6? She bought controlling interest in a publicly traded company with the settlement? Maybe Hurly gave his lottery winnings?

I think that is true.
