[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
Look, I have serious questions about Vincent. Can you transport a pet from Australia to the U.S. without incident? Isn't there a quarantine period?
In addition, I need more information about Vincent cuz that dog looked like he was doing just fine before Locke called him. Vincent takes care of himself.
I've become hypersensitive when it comes to baby issues (including not being able to watch any CSI episodes involving the deaths of babies--it just hits too close to home). So I'm really hoping Claire delivers a heathy baby--if she delivers at all on the island. If anything bad happens to the baby, I may not be able to watch the show.
Also, the dog won't get it. It'll probably be someone like Hurley.
LN, I would have to look at the current laws, but you used to be able to, though there would have been a quarantine period once they got here. OTOH, it's possible the airline might not allow it, because of the length of the flight.

Nooooooooo! I will sacrifice Shannon's hotness if Hurley gets to live.
You can certainly ship dogs back and forth between the USA and Australia. I know people who have had it done.
There may be a quarantine period -- but that wouldn't happen 'til after the animal arrives.

Are cargo holds pressurized? Heated? I have a good friend that emigrated with her two dogs to Switzerland and they were crated the whole time for the flight. I think it was an 11 hour flight or something like that. An Australia-US flight might be a few hours longer, though. And there are restrictions about temperatures on the tarmac--if it's going to be extremely hot or cold at either the departure or the arrival destination, they won't take crated animals.
Even the quarantine period seems rare, unless the point of entry is Hawaii. [link]
It's about 14 hours from Sydney to San Francisco; I don't know if it would be significantly shorter to LA.
JJA has said in interviews that any character could be killed. So I have steeled myself for anyone we've already met. However, if Walt gets it, I will be pretty upset. I love me some Walt.

Kate: Did not know who he was fucking with.
That's totally going to happen.
