Yeah, but close captioning has been wrong on this show before.

That's why I'm thinking it's an experiment on human behavior. Tell someone it's the "end of the world" and they'll tolerate the most outrageous bullshit.
If someone ever hooks me up to this sort of thing, kiss all your asses goodbye... because even if I devoutly believed what I'd been told it would take about 2 nights of interrupted sleep for me to decide "Screw it! If the world blows up, at least I'll be asleep when it happens."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm with Matt. I'd rather be exploded than spend the rest of my life pushing a button every 108 minutes. Especially without knowing what it was supposed to stop happening.

Me, too. I'd feel a pang of guilt about potentially letting the world be destroyed, but by day 2 I'd be so bug-eyed with sleep dep. that I pretty much wouldn't care.

Yeah, I would have said that whatever he was shooting up was keeping him awake, but why would he take it with him. Of course, unless he's got a boat hidden somewhere, I have no idea where Desmond thinks he's going, either.

Hey, what happens if they push the button before the time is about to be up?

Also, is it just me, or was the eighteen different points of view rerunning the same few minutes thing crazy? Because the first time we saw those events, didn't Kate end up on the floor, in the reveal, with Desmond and the gun to Locke's head? But she was totally in the ducts this time, and ended up with all the fiteyfight stuff.
Am I completely misremembering? Because that all seems wrong and I'm willing to believe unreliable narrator at some point here.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I think the numbers are supposed to be entered in the last 4 minutes of the 108 minute time span. At least that's when the alarm starts.
What happens? Hell, we don't even know if anything happens if they don't enter them at all.
The first time we saw the standoff we only knew that Kate had been tied up and put in a room. The next two times we saw that she was in the duct.

I kind of suspect that you can enter them at any time, it would just automatically reset the clock to 108 minutes, so entering the numbers early doesn't actually buy you any extra time.
