[QUOTE="Cthulhudrew, post: 2601051, member: 4090"] Nice catch on the song title- my google-fu tells me it was first recorded in 1969. That plus the old school computer should seemingly place the hatch in the 70s, as guessed. (BTW, found a good timeline of the Lost events [URL=http://lost.cubit.net/timeline.php]here[/URL]) So, putting this together: Shannon Rutherford's dad married Boone Carlisle's mom in 1992. Presuming that the Rutherford killed in the auto accident is her father, then that places the Jack/Desmond flashbacks during the mid to late 90s. The two bodies that Jack found in the cave (Adam and Eve) were presumably there since the late 50s/early 60s, and the song on the record wasn't recorded until 1969. Which means that whoever has set up the hatch below ground presumably have been coming and going from the island for a long time, heedless of the survivors of previous accidents. Unless of course, Desmond brought it with him. Anyone recognize what kind of computer was in the hatch? Obviously old, but it didn't look like an Apple that I could tell. Maybe an early IBM? The cursor looked really odd, too. Not like I remember from those old school apple IIs and all, or even from the old dummy terminals that were in use for a long time. [/QUOTE]
