What I'd like to know now is why did they need the losties on their knees in order to launch the bombardment......?

Standard hostage protocol. It wasn't "get them on their knees so we can launch," it was, "We're going to launch, make sure those guys we aren't going to have problems with those guys once we do."

Yeah, that does make sense....I could just see one or many of them trying to stop the bombing bc of Jack.

Read this on anther board, and it made me laugh.

So true!!

Makes sense though....the Island itself is shrinking(in that way back in seasons 1 and 2 it would take several days to traverse the Island....now people are crisscrossing it back in forth in a single afternoon:rolleyes:

Time travel increases the rate of erosion on the beaches, therefore shrinking the size of the island. I thought that was obvious enough, silly.

^Of course! I should have known that:)

I also liked the comment that, with all the money this show makes, they could have afforded more than $10 to build the well set.

So true.......

Leads me to believe the real reason Locke is the smoke monster is to simply save money on special effects:(

:confused: Don't get it. What would a really elaborate inside-of-a-well set look like?
