Ok, after watching THAT episode.. as Hurley would say, "Duuude!"

Wow, that was something else.

Anyone happen to catch the date the "Black Rock" went missing? LOL, how long has Rousseau REALLY been on that island? I'm gonna have to go rewatch now.

Some are speculating the numbers being entered was keeping the island "caught up" shall we say.

Oceanic 11 must have been gone for 4 years, even though to them it's still the same year right now. Because Kate's mother was sick BEFORE she crashed and she told Kate they've been telling her she has 6 months for the last 4 years. And now Penelope just told Desmond she's been looking for him for at least three years.

Rousseau wasn't on the boat the Black Rock - she was on a different boat. But it would be a cool twist if she had been lying about where she had come from and she actually had been on the black rock.

john i think desmond really was there for 3 years though. i'm totally confused on the whole time thing. island time is obviously faster than "real" time. hmmm...

[kanaloa]

Is it faster or slower? I think it's been both now that you mention it.

There's definitely something funky with magnetism involve. People healing, not aging, etc. Something tells me the women dying getting pregnant comes into play too.

It's weird, but I can actually see them starting to pull this together. We've still got another two seasons though, so they've got plenty of time.

hello mr. widmore. bets on Ben's "man on the boat?"

[kanaloa]

I knew it was going to be him... I just knew it. I knew Widmore was connected. And I suddenly have this feeling it's Michael on the boat.

michael is his man...bet my life on it.

good I'm glad I'm not the only one who came to this conclusion.

After that preview for next week - "a face you never thought you see again." I'd almost bet on it. Man that'll be big.

so widmore wants the island so he can exploit it for money? thought it might be a bit more ummm...substantial

Well it probably is more substantial - as usual Ben hasn't ever told the whole story.
