It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Okay, I'm actually SO over the Hatch.

Did anyone else see a ghost image of the DSW logo when the screen went black?

Question: if it's so important to type numbers into a computer, why is there not a redundant backup? At least for the smaller equipment. SOP with any type of facility that is that blinking important. Just keeps me thinking it's a giant lab experiment.

This too shall pass.

But the Hatch has the candy bars.

Ah, good point, Sail!

And good point, Laura!

Why not just have a program that enters the numbers automatically every 108 minutes, with a couple of people on-site to check on it?

The guy in the filmstrip specifically said they were forbidden to have a computer program enter the numbers for them.

eta: which would confirm the experiment theory.

Oh, Locke. You chose wrong, didn't you? Damn.

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

The guy in the filmstrip specifically said they were forbidden to have a computer program enter the numbers for them.

Which make's Sail's point even more pertinent. It goes against all handling-dangerous-stuff protocol. Think of all the back-up equipment that went into NASA space craft, even back in Apollo.

Now, this is the kind of backstory I like to see.
