Well, that raises the question of who is supplying them and why. Assuming they are not Dharma people, that that the bit about "hostiles" is not some ruse, then why do people on the mainland keep the island people supplies with Dharma stuff and the latest Stephen King book?

I'd guess a preexisting contract with a vendor in Australia or America. With no way to call out and say "OK, we're all wiped out by mystery hostiles," the drops keep coming until the money runs out.

 

[The Grumpy Celt]

I'd guess a preexisting contract...

I just don't buy that. The Others can - or did - leave the island and return at at least one occasion, when they went and got Juliette. And they got Lock's father, Tony. They more or less come and go, even if it takes some effort. My theory is there is no longer any distinction between the Others and the Dharma people, and everything centers on Ben, his ego and his ability to manipulate people.

Now - was Locke the man that fell from the window in Hugo's flashback! Nope, timeline was 4 years prior to Hugo winning...right?

I was wondering the same thing... How do you know it happened 4 years prior to Hugo winning the lotery? What was said, or what transpired, to lead you to believe this?

 

[The Grumpy Celt]

How do you know it happened 4 years prior to Hugo winning the lotery?

The fall happened after the win, long enough after for the wealth to have grown and Hurley to have purchased the box company. I don't think Hurley's lotto win happened five years ago, I think it happened more recently than that.

Besides, it looked a like a residential tower, not a business building. And the view out the windows did not match.

 

[Hand of Evil]

The best evidence that the Others aren't Dharma is that the Dharma tape explicitly mentions hostiles living on the island.

Like those tapes tell the truth, odds are the tape was from another 'test' on employees and that 77 only made them laugh...(Hey, the dude at flame is hitting 77! Man, I told you to stop throwing rocks at him...) and Locke set the bomb and just blamed it on Syhid. You have to ask yourself; If Locke did not go into the basement (and maybe tunnels), where did he find the C4? My first thought is the C4 in the basement was not to blow up the house but to colapse a tunnel and the documents, Locke took out the comm tower.

It also shows in their flashback choices. They give a ton of episodes to Jack or Kate but in comparison have virtually ignored someone like Claire, who is supposedly very important because of her son.

Jack and Kate are the main characters. Always have been, so not sure what your point is here.

Still waiting to see if Michael will ever turn up again.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Apparently the Walt Issue is why we're not seeing Michael and Walt's resolution yet. I'm not sure what they've got cooked up, but the producers are promising we'll see it resolved by the end of the series. (I'm guessing they'll do something in the final episode with stuff they've filmed already but not yet used, before he grows too much more and his voice changes too much.)

 

[Mistwell]

Even though she said she only wanted to work for a year and had it put into her contract.

Surely you cannot be serious.

I mean...exactly how much evidence is sufficient to demonstrate the actor was fired?

Eko I will give you. But that woman was most certainly fired, in a very public way, well before her character was intended to leave the show. There are a ton of eyewitness reports on that firing, and even she was admitting it went down that way until long after it took place and her publicist got a hold of her and changed her tune to a more diplomatic one.

I've never seen anything on these boards beyond speculation regarding her exit. The DUI theory started long ago and just evolved into a fact with no evidence given.

You know, this is a better show than Different Strokes by quite a large margin, but at least the latter knew how a little proactivity during the casting takes care of the whole annoying pubesence thing.

The least Lost's producers coulda done was hire a kid that drank lots of coffee.

Or they coulda just killed'im. I wouldn't have minded. He was a little sinister...and whiny.
