There are certain disadvantages to salvaging kit from the cockpit. In no particular order, they are:
1) Almost certain death by invisible monster.
2) Err....
3) That's it.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I was okay with the moth metaphor in that first scene, with Locke gesturing to the cocoon with the knife. Then the reappearance in the cave made me groan a little, but it did serve a useful purpose, and I like that we're not sure if it was an hallucination or not. But the last scene? Even the look on Charlie's face couldn't save it for me. I get it, already. Also, someone tell me that you all are joking about the name of the episode actually being "The Moth".
In other news, I am wicked excited for tonight's episode!

No joke.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
1) Almost certain death by invisible monster
Jack, Kate & Charlie didn't get killed the first time they went. Sure they had a close call but if they brought along a few of the slower extras maybe the monster will chow on them and not bother with the main cast.

Thrive to spite them
When I watched The Moth, I wasn't sure if Locke just found the guitar or if that was part of the island's magic and he can manipulate it. If he can manipulate it, then he's got a power over people they don't even know about.

Also, don't aeroplanes carry, like, maps? Because if so, surely between them they can figure out lat and long?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

They also carry GPS receivers. I don't know what kind, or if they'd run on batteries, but they should at least check it out.

Isn't that stuff in the cockpit/first class section where the pilot got chewed up good by the monster?

Yup. I'm saying they should go back and look around some more. Locke could go. He ain't skeered of no monster.
