Wouldn't it have been encased in concrete before the Swan was built?

Didn't Faraday ask Alpert in 1954 if they had concrete?

4/23/2009 3:50:24 PM

Yeah, but that doesn't mean that richard buried it in 1954.

idk they didn't really seem like they had the means to bury a nuclear warhead in 1954 considering they were living in tents they acquired recently from someone else. I mean the concrete wall there took some serious machinery to build

it also depends on when the dharma people got on the island. if it's late 60's/early 70's, i think it's safe to say that part of their agreement is the others won't bother dharma if they bury the nuke, although they would have gone a long time without burying it (20 years after faraday said to).

4/23/2009 4:17:45 PM

maybe the nuke lies in the shadow of the statue.

"# Naveen Andrews, who portrays Sayid Jarrah, has a theory that the series finale will feature the rescue boats coming to rescue Vincent while the graves of all the survivors are seen behind him. # Damon Lindelof confirmed in the February 4, 2009 episode of the Official Lost Podcast that Vincent will survive through the end of Season 6, making Vincent the first and so far only character that has been confirmed will survive the entirety of the series"

" 'Lost' actor and ABC face sex harassment claim LOS ANGELES A woman who claims she was sexually harassed then fired from the TV show "Lost" is suing ABC and actor Henry Ian Cusick. The lawsuit filed Friday in Los Angeles alleges that Cusick, who plays Desmond Hume on the show, fondled the woman's buttocks and breasts and kissed her on the lips in October 2007. The lawsuit claims she reported the incident to her supervisor, but was simply told to avoid the actor. She states she was fired 12 days later in retaliation for reporting the alleged abuse. The filing says the woman had worked for ABC since 1997. The lawsuit does not specify how much she is seeking. Messages left for an ABC spokesman and Cusick's manager were not immediately returned."

^^ If you go to the ABC website, they have a timeline that helps put the flashes and their periods in perspective - the flash where they were paddling and being chased was in "current" time - post Ajira Air crash.


My guess is that the "Shadow of the Statue" people were the ones shooting at them.



Also, BB, problem with your Timeline:

Quote :

"Let me give you a Ben Vs the Swan timeline. 1950s Ben was not born 1960s Ben was born 1970s Ben was a kid, he was shot and 'became' an other. Meanwhile the swan was being built in complete secrecy. 19somethindies Swan is finished Radzinky & Kelvin live there in complete isolation. At somepoint Radzinky dies. 1990s DI is purged. Kelvin continues to live at the swan in isolation. 2000s Desmond shipwrecks, losties show up find the hatch. Blah blah blah, Ben is kept prisoner in the swan."

Kelvin was in the US Army, and served in the first Gulf War.

My guess is that Kelvin was a member of the "Shadow of the Statue" group and came to the island & killed Radzinski and fabricated the story about living in isolation with him

tonight's episode is gonna be crazy, I've heard that it is supposed to pick up where the "Constant" episode with Faraday and Desmond left off

but, I just accidentally read a spoiler about tonight and all I can say is

4/29/2009 10:04:00 AM

Well, it is titled "The Variable"

No doubt there's a connection to "The Constant" and plenty of Faraday / Desmond awesomeness

!!! !!!

4/29/2009 10:11:36 AM

Should be great, then.

4/29/2009 10:51:03 AM

^that episode would be ftw and i would hope they'd give it the full hour it justly deserves.

also Woodfoot never paid me my money. which is pretty fucked up.

4/29/2009 11:20:35 AM

only a few hours now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4/29/2009 5:17:02 PM

CAN IT, OBAMA

4/29/2009 8:57:35 PM

WTF, I was annoyed before when they made such a big deal of the oceanic 6 returning to the island because "It was their destiny" and "They had to save everyone they left behind" without explaining why or how.

Now Farraday is like "LOL jk there was no point"

4/29/2009 9:08:18 PM

i'm sure there's a good explanation.

he just said that they weren't meant to come back to the past, not necessarily that they weren't meant to come back to the island in general

what is up with these "what did you see" commercials??

4/29/2009 9:25:18 PM

any chance widmore is also faraday's father, thought randomly hit me when the younger Eloise (while daniel was playing the piano) kinda looked like Penny

4/29/2009 9:25:42 PM

that was one of the main theories when we first saw Charles and Eloise on the island in 1955. I think it's been shown there are probably several reasons that's not true since then.

4/29/2009 9:29:14 PM

yeah, i definitely think faraday is widmore's son, which would make faraday and penny half-siblings. it would nicely parallel how jack and claire are half-siblings.

4/29/2009 9:41:26 PM

BUT WAIT

THE HYDROGEN BOMB IS UNDER THE SWAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4/29/2009 9:52:02 PM

i thought maybe, for just a second, when Kate was putting the code into the fence that Juliette gave her the wrong code to kill her off for moving in on her man.

4/29/2009 9:53:16 PM

whoa whoa whoa

I thought they failed to push the button AFTER the plane crashed...Faraday just said Desmond failed to push the button causing the plane to crash

4/29/2009 9:54:02 PM

no...

desmond failed to push the button

the plane crashed

that's how it happened

he even looked at the print log of the button pushing and asked someone when the plane crashed and it was the same date/time

4/29/2009 9:57:42 PM

DURRRRRRRRRR

yes. that is correct. desmond left the hatch to follow the CIA dude that joined dharma. he found that CIA dude had been restoring his sailboat, accidentally killed him in a struggle, ran back to the hatch but was too late, failed to push the button, and the magnetic energy pulled the plane out of the sky, k?

4/29/2009 10:03:00 PM

You know, maybe this is what I get for building this show up in my head so much, but I was really disappointed with this episode. We really didn't learn much of anything, and nothing at all happened.

4/29/2009 10:03:56 PM

wow, eloise is cold.

i hope this isn't the last we see of daniel, at least in "present" time. they never really explained or even hinted at his memory problem, or the writings in his journal ("desmond hume will be my constant").

^^i'm gonna have to disagree; we learned quite a bit about faraday and the relationship between widmore and eloise. my only gripe is this episode didn't raise very many questions.

[Edited on April 29, 2009 at 10:09 PM. Reason : .]

4/29/2009 10:04:33 PM

^^really now..

i loved this episode

4/29/2009 10:07:52 PM

well...big question is will they change everything? or was faraday wrong about the variable and "whatever happened will still happen?"...hmm

4/29/2009 10:12:15 PM

I mean I didn't hate it. But it wasn't nearly as good as I was expecting (which is probably half the problem, I had high expectations). But really, what did we learn? Nothing at all except for Daniel was Widmore's kid, which most people halfway expected anyway. Aside from that, there really wasn't a lot to take from this episode. It didn't advance the plot at all.
