Lost

Actually, if the polar bear, the distress call, and the big giant monster are all manifestations of fears, it makes perfect sense. That's why the plane crashed too then... they flew over the island, and someone was afraid the plane would crash, and bam, down it goes.

I'm really surprised the group didn't go immediately out to search for the source of the transmission (aka a possible 'secret base' or something).

So far, that transmission is the most intriguing part of this show, and I'm dying to know more about it.

Comic book - it was only seen in the hands of the boy but it was found in the wreakage, had a polor bear picture in it, an island, a secret base...big clue!

Was there a specific scene where the folks who heard the transmission decided not to tell anyone - Kate tells the doctor, but it doesn't seem like anyone else is told. I missed a few bits of the show here and there, so that may be the reason.

I'm assuming no one still thinks Sawyer is military or police after his bungled shooting of the marshall.

Yes there was. When they were hiking back to the beach, the group decided they couldn't make it back before nightfall and camped. It was while they were sitting around the campfire that they decided not to tell anyone about the message.
When the got back to the beach the next morning, Syhed (sp?) announced that they couldn't get a signal to send out a message.

As I posted posted earlier I agree that the transmission is exceedingly important. If nothing else it will give you access to a power source that has worked for 16 years. If you are trapped on this island wouldn't that be of supreeme importance.

ABC's official site. Doesn't say who writes the diary, at this point it seems to be a person outside the main cast.

There was a scene, as someone else pointed out.

However, I"m still curious why the lifeguard kid knew the pilot was dead when there was a scene where the three (doc, hobbit, and Kate) specifically said they wouldn't mention it to anyone. Probably something got lost in the editing, but who knows...?

I don't know- from the entry for "Night Two" ("Played backgammon with Walt today...") it sounds like it's Locke's diary.

Anybody could have played backgammon with him... all the notes about surfing and such make me think it's Boone, the "ex-lifeguard," brother of the super-annoying woman.
