Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

A car battery is only 12 volts, so I think it's unlikely that electrocution is a worry. Go wild.

Aw, crap.

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

Oh, that's good. Encourage her.

What can I say? I'm an enabler.

Oh, before I forget again... wasn't Sayid originally knocked out (the first time with the transmitter) in a meadow just like the one where they held the golf game? (Yeah, that was probably the only open field that they could find in Hawaii to film in....)

Theo, I remember the place where Sayid was knocked out as being more treeful.

(What? It's a perfectly cromulent word.)

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

I thought he was on a hill in a grassy area, but there were trees really close by.

For the record: I don't even own a foldy beach chair. Okay, I do, but not the flat, slab-like kind I was thinking of when I thought up the Foldy Beach Chair of Torture. It is more like the Foldy Camping Chair of Camping, which is a totally different vibe.

The weird part is how the car battery still has a charge after 16 years. Maybe Crazy Rousseau is sane enough to build a windmill, or something, and has just behind the next ridge an inventor's paradise of widgets and doohickery.

Maybe they just embiggened the treeless area.

Sometimes evil drives a minivan.

I remember reading something a few years ago about using the ocean's currents to create low levels of electricity. So, could the cable running from the ocean to Danielle's lair be generating electricty?

On the other hand, how many people has she had to torture over the last sixteen years? Have the car batteries been used all that much?
