Oh, that reminds me! I'm assuming the temple is connected to the giant idol we saw briefly this last episode. How awesome was THAT?!

I would be shocked if they don't give a little bit more insight into the #'s and smokey. Even if the answer to the numbers is something as simple as, "Those are the intervals that the time jumps happen on, so we use them as easy reference points," or even, "They don't 'mean' squat on their own, we just planted them to f*ck with Hurley." As long as it's something. As sleepy said, those were the 2 key mysteries that the show was built around, it would be ludicrous/lazy to just ignore them.

I don't expect them to lay out a technical blueprint of the donkey wheel, but I do expect we'll know more about exactly what it means to "move the island".

They appear so much.

I do wonder if the numbers are the intervals the time jumps happen. I'm not patient enough to go back and watch prior episodes, but did it did seem that the pauses between jumps got longer, then shorter as time went by?
