Lost!

Ah, thanks, CP. I didn't remember he was seen lying unconscious and they made a remark about it. And I guess I didn't read your earlier post clearly enough.


BTD: How was Island Underwater answered? We were left puzzling about that. Some people said that's just how it was in the sideways universe. But if the sideways universe is simply a matrix limbo where no one even KNOWS ABOUT the Island, how is the Island somehow underwater?

I *think* that when they pulled the cork out of the island and it started shaking it eventually sank. We saw the plane take off and there were cracks in the ground (that reminded me of the Tommyknockers - no idea why) and Jack put the cork back in. The water reappeared with the light, we see Jack escape back into the forest and died. I think somewhere after that the island sank.

That's just my interpenetration of what happened, and it's probably completely wrong.

Then Hurley and Ben were Island guardians for an even shorter span of time than Jack?

No, Jack putting the cork back in stopped it from sinking. The island underwater was (according to the pre-show) just a way of saying, "This is what life would have been like if the island didn't exist."

Which is weak if you ask me.....they're trying to tell us parts of the sideways flashes were "what life would have been like if the island didn't exist" and other parts are a "place created to meet up with the people who matter most"???

I suppose that sometime along the way, Hurley and Ben failed to protect the Island like Crazy lady, Jacob and Jack.

Instead of treating everyone with the highest suspicion, maybe when someone wanted to tap into the Island's energy source Hurley, rather than go all "hostile" on them, instead just served sandwiches
