I craped a tree frog when I read your post tonight.. whew! Awesome! The heiroglyphics part is amazing... good work on that...

On my way to WI tonight from CA for a wedding.. I will be freezing with the CDP this weekend.
Thanks for the kind words. While I can't take credit for figuring most of this stuff out, I can take credit for putting them all up on my page. Yeah, when I saw the heiroglyphics, I was pretty excited myself. I'm still proud of my theory, though.

Some people think that the tree frog was poisonous, and Sawyer will get very sick in the future. If that's true, that would be karma for you. Earl Hickey could teach him a thing or two.

Have fun in WI. It's currently -15 this morning. Dress in layers and bring a scraper. Let me know how it goes.
I actually saw part of this episode.
I bet you're totally hooked now.
I thought the whole frog thing was a little too light-hearted given the way the last episode ended with Sawyer nabbing all the guns. Though, yeah, I bet it'll make him sick. He'll get his comeuppance. Maybe so sick that he might die, and Charlie will have a moral dilemna since he's the only one that knows where the guns are, but admitting that will expose his devious doings, including grabbing Sun.

So I know you're not into Invasion, but I've enjoyed it quite a bit. Last week I was watching it via Tivo, and they broke away for "breaking news" about a Tulsa coach that checked himself into rehab for alcohol and painkiller addiction or something... It went on for like ten minutes, they had a press conference and everything. This was all within 30 minutes of when they'd have their actual 10pm newscast. We two ABC affiliates, I just switched my Tivo settings to the Tulsa one, because the Arkansas one preempts Lost for Arkansas Razorback games, and doesn't change the online schedule so that Tivo knows what's up. That's my TV rant for the day.

I can almost understand them showing the game, even though I still think that's kind of crappy... But a coach in rehab is breaking news, enough to interrupt a broadcast? It can't wait a half hour till the news broadcast?
I see no reason why that news was important enough not to wait 30 more minutes. I mean, it's not like it's immediately effecting anyone or anything. That's just silly.

Yeah, I think Sawyer might get sick. I also think that Hurley has a lot of things he's hiding from the rest of the castaways.

Seriously now, what were you thinking when those symbols started to scatter across the hatch clock? In my case, all the muscles in my face contorted at the same time, and I levitated off of the couch.
I didn't see enough to really form an opinion. I was reading a book at my parents' place and they had it on; I only occasionally glanced at it.
When the red and black heiroglyphics started flipping on the counter, I started spinning round and round, I still haven't stopped.
Yeah, I liked it... Once again, you think they're about to reveal something (what happens when the counter reaches sero) and it just opens up more questions and possibilities. That, and we really don't know that it didn't cause something catastrophic elsewhere.

Some people online were disappointed with the outcome, but it was more than enough for me to wait patiently for the next episode.

Always twirling, twirling...
Sports never preempt TV shows out here. But dammit all if a Brit starts a murder spree.

I think you're right about this Henry Gale character. I mean, who travels in a balloon? And I don't know about you, but if I started talking about living in a balloon during our vacation my wife would grab the kids and be off to her mother's faster than Hurley can work his way through a gallon of ranch dressing. That's silly. He deserved to get the crap beat out of him for not thinking of a better story.
"My theory is that the numbers are entered every 108 minutes to prevent satellite detection of the island."

Nah, that's a problematic theory. As they don't enter the code some time before zero each time, the cloaking time would run ahead more and more, thus render itself useless.
typo: skip the don't above.
Good point, Paste. We're lef to believe that nothing happened, but you never know what might have gone on at the other hatches.

Sensa, that's the only decent argument people have brought up concerning my theory. You're right; if you keep entering the code sometime within two minutes of meltdown, eventually you'd be way off course to cloak yourself from satellites.

Okay. Perhaps it's not satellites. Maybe they're hiding from something else. I'm still sticking with my theory, but I can certainly see the flaws. It would appear to me as if they are hiding from something. Maybe the smoke monster?

Welcome aboard, by the way.

Yup, Henry Gale is a darn liar. It was a decent enough story, but he's going to have to take them to the hot-air balloon to be taken seriously.

BluStaCon, sorry about that Brit killing spree up there. It's a real shame, and it's taking up valuable airtime.
here's my theory...if Henry Gale isn't an other, he's probably Kelvin. His race around the world in a hot air balloon is similar to Desmond's race around the world story. The writers have said that someone we think is dead, isn't. We think kelvin is dead b/c Desmond said he is, but who really knows for sure...maybe he ran off into the jungle and became a psychotic killer? who knows?

I'm probably wrong, but i figure the writers are going to drag this "Others" thing out a while longer, so there's a decent chance that this guy isn't the "Other" that we think he is.

P.S. When i saw the ranch dressing, i thought of CDP...and that probably a little disturbing.
When the writers were referring to a character we think is dead, I was assuming it was Cindy, the tailie that disappeared during their hike to the castaway's camp. You still have a point, though. There's a lot of things desmond said that were quite cryptic; I hope they track him down again real soon.

Henry's character will be on at least the next FIVE episodes, so you're 100% right in them dragging this out for as far as it can do. I really think he's an Other, or at the very least he's lying about something important.

I'm glad you thought of the CDP when the ranch showed up. I thought of me, too. I'd like to think they put it in there for the purpose of satisfying the online voices.

Unless the code doesn't have to do exactly with the time that a satellite is overhead, but maintaining power to whatever it is that is hiding the island from the satellites.

Where'd you get the hieroglyph translation?
Stephen, that's what I was trying to say, only not as eloquently and precise as you.

Sorry, that sounded kind of gay. Hey, did you get the new Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue? Lot's of hot women in there!

That put us back on track. Let's move on.

Entering the numbers might not effect the satellites directly; it just might effect the constant shield that Dharma has cast over the island. In that regard, it wouldn't matter when they were entered, as long as they were entered all the time.

I got the heiroglyph translation from a few boards on the web. I take no credit for it, or assume that it has anything to do with the theory in general. It's just sort of interesting to see that the symbols were coming up in this particular order.
That's why you're the best damn LOST wrap-up on the web, CDP. You save all of us the trouble of having to dig this crap up for ourselves.
That's right. I'm the Google of Lost recaps, minus the Chinese censorship.

To increase my hits as much as possible, I'm eliminating essays from my page entirely, and focusing on TV show-related theme days.
That's right! I'm just lurking until you post audio of the wild goings on next door.
One thought on the counter reaching zero. When the heiroglyphics started flashing there was a distinct sound of something winding up. If the number punching was maintaining equipment (insert theory here) wouldn't we hear something winding down?
I thought I did hear something winding down. When the symbols started spinning, there was the unmistakable sound of a huge turbine or machine "spooling up." When he hit the last number and the clock reset, we heard the mysterious machine whirring itself back down to silence.

If you're referring to the numbers being entered to initiate a cloaking-type device, beats me why it doesn't make noise all the time. Do we have an electromagnetics expert in the house?

Unfortunately, the Loud Neighbor saga isn't even close to finished. More news next week on that. I strongly think that I'm going to have to challenge that man to a duel, and the losers have to move out of the county.
