That was a parachute? I thought it was the hot air balloon and basket that crashed.

My 2 theories.

1) The drops come FROM balloons. How else could they make the drops without anyone hearing an aircraft?

2) It's possible that either the Others or, if we subscribe to the theory that the Others are subjects of the same expriement, whoever's actually running things could have easily dug up his wife and replaced it with a black guy and a fake id.

Good theories! The aircraft wouldn't have been able to hide behind the whrring of the hatch for long. I think Sayid is right though, he would have known the details of buring his wife. Did anyone else notice how fast Jack and Kate discovered the parachute, Sawyer, Sayid and Charlie? It wasn't a days walk.

Now, how are they going to get the blast doors back down to read the scribblings?

Let the numbers run out again?

Well, this one confirms the link between the lockdown and the food drop. "Activity Minimal during lockdown and restocking procedures."

I was just going to bring this up. The blast doors drop when the food drops come as a way to keep the "experiments" inside when the drops happen.

I thought of the Wizard of Oz connection as soon as he said his name was Henry Gale. I love that the guy on the ID was black. They just love "surprising" us with interracial casting that always makes me realize my own biases.

The hot air balloon was in the trees, and pretty well up there. The parachute and drop were on the ground in a different location. Anna-Marie, Sayid and Charlie were on their way back to camp and they probably also saw the light beacon on the drop, which is why they met Jack and Kate there.

I love that this show is designed for the internet/Tivo generation, with clues (like the map) obviously MEANT to be copied and posted for everyone to theorize on. Bravo.

Thanks. I didn't notice the difference and thought the hot air balloon had the Dharma food in the basket. I drew some wrong conclusions from that. I think I need to watch the episode again.

Totally!
