Man, great observations! The ping pong table is folded in half, the back half forming a backstop, look at it again. As for Des being dirty, several hours have passed since his waking and when they blow the hatch we see dust rain down. Plus we never see Des shaving so, *shrug* on the facial hair one.

They don't look like windows so much as back lit glass, perhaps timed to provide the illusion of day and night down in shelter 23. I agree with you about the bunk beds though, there is totally the sense that he isn't alone down there after the last rewatch. We have NO idea how big that shelter is.

On the dirty hands thing, also recall that he has encountered one person from outside already (Locke) and quite possibly Kate, and may have somehow gotten dirty during those encounters.

Otherwise, I have to agree- those are some great observations. Especially the bunk bed one.

For those interested the lyrics to the Cass Elliott song we hear during S2 Ep1 can be found here: http://www.casselliot.com/lyrics.htm. You have to scroll down a tad.

Something odd I just noticed on the Oceanic Air website. Kate is listed as "Kate Ryan" in the passenger list, though her mugshot shows her name to be "Katherine Dodd." Then she's listed as "Kate Austen" on IMDB. Strange.

Also, maybe I'm just dumb for noticing this only now, but it just struck me that the raft was built by Sawyer. Heh.

One other thing (btw, I mentioned it before, but this site is really awesome for Lost info):

Walt in this episode says something about not pressing the button- what is Jack just about to do before Locke tells him to stop?

There are some theories I've read elswhere that the computer has something to do with the security system. That when Des is typing early on in the episode, that is when the attack on Locke occured. Obviously that is open to debate. One sort of nifty thing is that Hurley's numbers are on the vial that Des shoots himself up with and also it is Hurley's numbers that Des types into the keyboard at the start of the ep.

Walt is speaking backwards, he says (if you believe the net), "Don't press the button Shannon, the button is bad."

The current Wiki page has some interesting things to say as well. Check out 'Philosophy', that one I enjoyed.

Thx for the audio link!

Okay... so WHY would Walt be drowned and backwards-talking? Has he gone to the other side of the mirror (or pool), or what?

No sense, making, this is! Explanations want I!

Other Oddities:

I found it odd that Desmond (or whoever he is) didn't grab a gas mask, if he is worried about plague... Obviously, he feels the serum he injected protects him...

So he is worried by others breaking into his shelter because why? Not because he'll be infected... Are they the test subjects? Are they the control group? Were they supposed to remain ignorant of the experiment, and just be good little lab rats?

I like the Sawyer connection.

Cool site lots of info.

The only thing on this topic is that Walt told Shannon not to push the button. So maybe she makes it down the hatch or she comes across something else with a button.
