Now we have a known electromagnetic source down the hatch, strong enough to draw the key around Jack's neck toward it.
Did they say it was electromagnetic? I was assuming it was a big hunk of lodestone, or the remains of a nickel-iron meteor. Er, meteorite.
I'm surprised all that magnetic tape wasn't bulk erased by a magnetic field that strong.

The island is magic
I like the meteorite idea, though.
The computers in the Swan bunker could be specially shielded. There's that geodesic dome down there, after all.
What was the "trick" question that Desmond tried on Locke the week before? My old memory just isn't what it used to be....
What was the "trick" question that Desmond tried on Locke the week before?
"What did one polar bear say to the other?"
I'm wondering if that was how Desmond would verify his replacement. Given that he kept asking Locke "Are you *him*?", I'm thinking....maybe.
Though if that's the case, it's ironic that Locke took over for Desmond anyway.
Heh. The Polar Bears Are Not What They Seem.
What was the "trick" question that Desmond tried on Locke the week before?
"What did one polar bear say to the other?"
I think it was "What did one snowman say to the other snowman?"
Oh, and some trivia: the writers of this week's episode of
Lost
are friends of Rob Thomas's.
Oh, Christ. It *was* "snowman"! Thanks, P-C. This show makes he have polar bears on the brain.
Well... at least they're both white. In my mind, that makes perfect sense.
See, now, my response to that question was to remember the old joke:
Why did the snowman drop his pants?
Because he saw the snowblower coming.
Yes, I am twelve.
