You'd think that Jack would maybe have checked one of those bottles of medication Desmond had been injecting into himself to see just what kind of drug they are.

Morphine? Sugar water? Hallucenogenic horse tranquilizer? Anti-radiation sickness drug?

It might have just the teensiest bit of relevance to their continued stay in the hatch, you know?

Was Jack aware that Desmond had eben injecting himself? I don't recall if Jack ever saw him do it.

Also, did anyone else notice that in Hurley's dream, the Chicken Guy was blinking his eyes in time with the beeping?

He did see Desmond shovel a bunch of the vials into his bag before running out, didn't he? He probably would have recognized them as drug vials.

Then the question becomes, did Desmond leave any behind for examination?

I didn't think he took them all.

I'm having a hard time buying that they don't know where Desmond went. Seems like a guy running hell-bent for anywhere like that is so going to leave a trail Locke (or *anyone* can follow. Maybe Locke didn't try to track him, because pushing the button is his destiny?

radiation is not, like, a colorful death ray.

Clearly someone hasn't been watching enough television.

Well, but remember -- when Kate's rope broke and she fell down the rest of the way in the hatch, that blinding beam of light came out. Clearly, it was a Radiation Death Ray.

I thought it was the Rapture, for a minute.

The Truth revealed at last. The whole time humanity has been envisioning G-d in the heavens above us, He's actually been dwelling in a small hatch, underground.

Yeah, but then Locke et al. let Him out.

Who let the gods out?
