I notice that Rousseau mentioned the Black Rock -- so kudos to the French translation people, because that is evidently a landmark/plot point....
Just keep walking, preacher-man.

Hee! laughed hard enough I had to explain myself. That was a fearsome movie (in more ways than one), wasn't it?
Oh so scary. I can't even bring myself to rewatch as an adult to laugh scornfully and mock the pitiful special effects.
It will always stand alongside Watership Down as "movies I never should have seen as a child".

Have we seen anything resembling a black rock yet? On the beach or from it? In the jungle? Black rock makes me think meteorite. Meteorites have been worshipped in more than a few cultures.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Volcanic sand and rocks are black, too.

I was assuming that the rock was where the ship ran aground. Might explain the cable - it was slack enough at the shore for Sayid to pick up, so maybe it is/was a swimming guide.

Have we seen a volcano yet, then? Hills that might be of volcanic origin, I'd guess, but well covered in foliage, so probably hundreds of years since it was active. And the beach is white. Probably coral sand.

My wife just reminded me that I guessed a circus had crashed on the island back when the polar bear showed up.
Edited because I can, occasionally, properly decline a verb.

I believe that we will take the non-sinking sheep of love and will go far away to the ocean...
The Ethan guy (that Locke was hunting with) at first reminded me of the actor that played Holden the vampire in "Conversations With Dead People", and I got all excited. Then he didn't look like him at all, but those scenes were a bit dark and grainy on my tv. Did anyone else get that vibe, though?

All is well that ends in pizza.
Oh! I was going to make a screencap of the map! I'll try later.

I'm now thinking that what killed the pilot was an elephant. A ship with a zoo of creatures wrecked on the island and they're all running free.
Also, who says the others got sick? Maybe Danielle is the one who got sick. After all, she killed Robert, and at least implied that she killed everyone else (except Alex, who maybe escaped), and she didn't want them to be rescued--I got the impression because she didn't want the infection to spread. What if she just went crazy and killed everyone else because they didn't hear the voices or see things the way she did? Maybe she's the one who thwacked Sayid? He'd been gone 2 days, but who knows how long he'd been captive?
If this turns into another Monkey!Pox!Crazies plot, I will not be happy.
