The actress in Desmonds picture is Cynthia Watros. Her character is Libby.

Doesn't look like Cynthia Watros to me. Or Julie Bowen. Someone else entirely, methinks.

Jack is a very good leader but he's only led enough to keep them alive. Locke is the one searching out things and finding out what's going on with the island.

An argument could be made, though, that Jack is the better leader because he is trying to keep things realistic by having the castaways focus on the here and now, and the reality that they may spend the rest of their lives here, instead of giving them false hopes that there may be a way off the island, or- worse- that they are constantly shrouded by terror and they may all die immediately. He is simply trying to get them to accept their existence, and get themselves into a normal living routine.

anyone catch the date at the end of the film?

1980

 

[Christoph the Magus]

I don't see why he did it. And did he say what happened to the other guy that showed him what to do.

He died, but he didn't say how.

 

[Christoph the Magus]

I thought the film showed 3 of 8 at the bottom. I also remember the guy saying you are working at station 3 called "the swan". Leading me to believe that the other stations are named after the other animals

I thought it said 3 of 6.

We're gonna have to watch that again.

It is the orientation video. Thanks for the heads up.

In the video it mentions there was an incedent and they installed a timer. Could it be possible that there was no incedent, that it was made up to help sell the lie to the new replacements as they came in. And that this is part of a phsycological test.

Thank you for providing NEW and USEFUL information Aryoche. That should help in dissecting the video even further.

No problem. I just finished watching all of Season I last weekend, and caught last nights episode... needless to say, I'm hooked. Lots of ideas and theories, and quite a bit is starting to add up.

Speaking of which, I have a question that I'm not sure if it was covered, but I'm not sure how to do the spoilers, so I dont give anything away.

What happens to the members of Dharma who left the hatch??? Could they be the "others"? Typing in the sequence every 108 minutes would seriously mess with someone, since they'd be lucky if they ever acheived REM state of sleep... it could quite drive someone mad. The whole idea of Skinner's Box seems almost too easy, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that we have the Middle section survivors, the Tail section survivors, the "Others", and something -else-. And that's not counting the Dharma Initiative.

Hmmm...guess I figured it out! Thank you "preview button"!!!!!

We're gonna have to watch that again.

It is the orientation video. Thanks for the heads up.

You got all 4 to light green and it still didn't let you in?

It says "Invalid IP" -- I wonder if it's reading the viewer's IP address and deciding we aren't allowed based on that?

I further wonder if you could spoof an IP address, of, say, some combination of 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42, and get access that way . . .
