I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Why didn't they take someone expendable, like Scott?

But then who would comfort Tracy?

The thing that bothered me the most? Dynamite was pretty much invented AFTER there were no slave ships, much less pirate-y looking ships, afloat. (Technicaly 1863 by Nobel, but it wouldn't have been available in nicely stencilled "EXPLOSIVES" crates until a while after.)

Between Lost and Alias, this is definitely "JJ is a meanie" night.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Kate will more likely have Locke's back than Jack's. If I were Kate I would have Jack on my lying sack of shit list.

Yeah well it isn't like Kate tells the truth all the time either.

All is well that ends in pizza.

It wasn't slaves to the USA.

Slavery wasn't invented by the colonies, nor was it stopped worldwide because of the US Civil war.

IIRC, Brazil was the last major nation to stop slavery (aside from home-grown versions) in the 1880s. I'm talking the wide-scale trans-oceanic shipment of slaves, not what goes on in Africa, et cetera, today.

well, these were special slavers, and...and...they were, um....punished...by the island...

Heh. I suppose it's just more likely that the producers haven't much more knowledge of history than your average high school student who spent most of the year on the Revolutionary War and two weeks on the Civil War and never got beyond Reconstruction, if at all.

Or, well, maybe special slavers, at that.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

And had crates of dynamite with the word "Explosives" stenciled very neatly and mechanically-looking in their hold? I have my suspicions that the Black Rock might be less authentic than it appears, and no older than the hatch or the broadcast radio message.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I handwaved it as the explosives being from Rossseu's ship, and she was just storing it in the Black Rock.
