My point being that there's no compelling reason to dig a hole in the middle of nowhere in the first place. Tough to get heavy equipment out into the jungle so it would have had to been dug by hand. It would have taken days and days.

Though I agree that the "digging it and not filling it in" thing is weird (maybe they had to deal with smokey all of a sudden?), it wouldn't take that long to dig. By myself, with lots of clay and rocks and junk to deal with, I've dug a 4'x4' hole 6' deep in 5 hours. With a half-dozen people digging and another several moving excess soil away, it could easily be dug in a day.

That hole was significantly larger and the roots in a jungle that thick are not something to shrug off lightly. Without heavy equipment, even with a dozen people, it would take days. Of course, it's not unlikely they have plenty of explosives.

Maybe Dharma dug the hole and the Others just used it. All of the instillations we've seen so far have been below ground, meaning before it was a structure it was a great big hole someone dug. Maybe it was part of a Dharma project that ended in mass murder.

...unless we are talking Howard Hughes thing here.

I don't get this reference. What do you mean?

That tracks. Sharp thinking.

Great. So we've achieved suspension of disbelief about digging a hole.

We give suspension of disbelief when the show comes on. Story continuity is what was sought regarding the hole.

You know what I have trouble with, what I can't suspend disbelief about?

Everyone's hair.

They all look to good.

Well, off subject a bit…

The next episode is about Charlie and he may or may not die in it – it remains to be seen. “"This job is going to end for everyone. I've achieved everything that I wanted to do. It's been a fantastic opportunity for me, and it's done exactly what I wanted it to do: distance me from playing a hobbit (in The Lord of the Rings) and have people in America know I can act,” said Dominic Monaghan.

The next day (i.e. it airs on May 17th) is a special called “Lost: The Answers.” This is a new title, as it was originally called “We Lost The Answers” and it was going to be an hour long apology.

The season finale is a two hour episode that centers on Jack. It airs May 23. One old face you will not be seeing is Harold Perrineau as Michael, who actually turned down an opportunity to return in the season finale. Source: MediaWeek

TV Guide pointed out this week that in 90 days Sun's hair has grown five inches, which is pretty impressive. Jack's, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have grown at all, but I suppose he could be cutting it regularly.

It is a shame really, hopefully they can get him back before the series ends to tie up that loose end. Other then that I think these last few episodes have been great. Maybe Ben just has multiple personalities and that is who Jacob is. That was my first thought.
