Yes, I misspoke. I'm bad with names.

Lacero said:Why does the baby snatching plotline fizzle? They added it to add some unnecessary suspense. I think the real reason for it was so that LOTR guy would find the mariwana bags.
atszyman said:Was Hurley's first name (Hugo) mentioned before this episode?
If not how did Locke know it?
Doctor Q said:I thought I remembered that everyone knew his first name already, but I can't remember how it came to pass.
Lacero said:Can someone please explain to me how a stick of dynamite wrapped in a wet shirt can spontaneously explode?
JJ Abram, please write more convincing plot contrivances. If this keeps up, I might just get lost on Lost.
Raid said:But I guess they wanted to give Hurley enough time to see the numbers on the hatch and freak out. ...sometimes you've got to suspend disbelief for the plot points...
MongoTheGeek said:Yeah. The ship looked to be somewhere around 160-200 years old. There was no evidence of steam power which means it was likely built before the 1850 most likely in the 1830s. Dynamite wasn't invented until 1867. If it were a slave ship there would have been more of them and packed in tighter and away from the explosives.
The stenciling on the box also bothered me. When did that come into common use?
Raid said:The fact that the rest of the box didn't react to the shockwave, or heat of the explosion when Arnst went up wasnt really realistic
Raid said:I would have thrown rocks at the hatch lid
Freg3000 said:Rocks? They tried something a little stronger than rocks and it failed.

3rdpath said:i found out about it today, so i don't know. i've heard that you can use the "lost" numbers as seat assignments and such and find more messages. i did see a page that basically said if you can answer a bunch of questions correctly you'll be put on an email list and get stuff directly from the show's writers.
i won't have time to scan the site in-depth until tonite...ah, something to look forward to.

That wouldn't have made sense, since Locke chose the most stable sticks of dynamite to transport... they would have been far more resistant to detonation via impact. Also, you'd have to be able to actually hit the dynamite from a distance, and there'd be too much chance of missing and dislodging the dynamite.Sharewaredemon said:He meant throw rocks at the TNT to detonate it, instead of using a fuse.
I'm going to miss the Arnzt/Arzt joke.Awimoway said:As for Arzt picking up the most fragile looking stick, maybe the man had a death wish.
Awimoway said:I missed where they got the fuses from, but I'm assuming they're from the slave ship? Wouldn't the fuses have rusted out? That's a rain forest, and dead wood only holds up for so long in places like that. What about the dynamite being fragile enough that a casual gesture would blow a man to smithereens? How in the world am I supposed to believe Locke and the doc were able to hike across several miles of rough terrain without jostlint the dynamite? And what in the world possessed them to walk so close together? Walk in pairs? Why, so all four of them can get blown up?
And how did the rafters get the keel back on so easily while afloat without equipment of any kind? That's rather hard to believe.
That being said, I don't mind suspending disbelief. I really love the show.
As for Arzt picking up the most fragile looking stick, maybe the man had a death wish. He hated being marooned and he just wanted to die. See? I can suspend disbelief.![]()
