I don't think so. On the blast door map that Locke saw, the Pearl is listed as a station on the perifery with the question mark in the middle. They didn't find the question mark.

What Eko saw was something like a target that could be seen from the air.

Of course, the blast door map could be inaccurate.

That's weird. I was sure I saw a big question mark on the ground when Eko looked down...? I'll have to re-watch it tonight.

It is certainly possible that what Eko saw on the ground was a question mark. I didn't look at it that closely. But it still remains that the the Pearl is not the question mark on the blast door map.

There was a question mark made of dirt. Eko sees it from above and comes back down. Then he walks along the question mark, rubs his hands in the dirt, tastes it, and says the area was salted to keep the plants from growing in.

I have no clue how you missed that

The Pearl is the question mark. The map led them there, and they found it.

I cried and cried over Libby. I was totally rooting for her to say something. I suppose the writers want this Michael ruse to move forward. This may get seriously ugly, quick.

It occured to me that there are so many ways of looking at things and it's hard to understand who's in the right. Even the Others think they're the right ones, and hell, they may be, for some insane reason. But when Eko and John have dreams that tell them what to do, it's tough to say "He could be wrong." Unless whoever's controlling things has a mind-control ray...hell, what other explanation is there for Charlie's bizarre baby-snatching impulses?

No, he's right about that much...the question mark on the door is in the middle. "The Pearl" is written next to one of the outlying hatches on the door-map. So they still haven't found THE question mark. But that doesn't mean that whoever's running the show doesn't use the question mark as a generic symbol to mark all (or important) hatches.

The mark on the ground looked like a question mark. Later on in conversation, it was referred to as a circle for a target to mark the location. My thought is that the plane crashing down there smudge the circle so it looked more like a ?

I believe this is the ? Eko's brother wanted him to find. There is also the possibility that he was referring to the ? on the blast door map. I'm guessing we haven't heard the last of ?

That's right - that's why I keep thinking it was a target. Eko did refer to it as that.

If the video said it was from the early 80's (I forget the exact year) why were the TV's much older looking? My thought was since it seemed like it had obviously been abandonded for quite some time perhaps all the cameras etc work but they can now be transmitted to a more remote location?

I didn't really pay attenton to the numbers on the print out, but my thought at the time was that it was a print out of the numbers being entered into the computer in the Losties hatch.

There was something on the tape that said something about a ferry or something off the island after each 8hr shift.

I was hoping they found some sort of playback or something that would show Michael shooting Libby & Ana but that didn't happen.

I liked how Michael was having a panic attack the whole episode that Libby would survive. I was kind of waiting for him to try and do something else to her but that ended up not being necessary. Poor Hurley.

Sawyer was sleeping on his stash - excellent plan.

That was our thought too, but nope.

I just couldn't believe neither John nor Eko said anything about "where does this tube go?" If the people working there in the Pearl were just sending note books out through it, that means there are records somewhere. Either the tube goes directly to someone in charge, which would mean they have to be fairly close. Or it could just take the notebooks to some sort of storage location. Either they get stored for later pick-up, or they get stored because they aren't needed by Hanso. This could be another experiment just like the button pushing. So, by following the tube you either find the head cheese or you find records of hatch activity that may prove useful. Either way, seems like a worthy endeavor to me.
