All is well that ends in pizza.

I wonder if Hurley will turn out to have stock in The Hanso Holding Company...

If I only had a brain...

A salute to obsessiveness: somebody's mapped the hatch.

OMG. I love it.

One of the links on the Hanso website sends you to a page with some morse code on it. It translates into a Latin palindromic word puzzle - "In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni" which roughly translates to "We go into the circle by night, we are consumed by fire".

I spent a good hour working it out, then realised I could have just looked at The Fuselage where someone translated it a week ago.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I found myself getting really annoyed at Locke esp. durring this show - because they are reinventing the whell - reinventing jobs, factory work etc. not the point of an island life. So when the decsion came to have a party - I said yay! I'm not sure this makes sense anywhere but my brain

now I have to decide. do I download lost from ivideo next week? we may figure out how to watch one channel and record of TIVO - but it might no thave happened by then....

I don't understand why it's so important to keep the bunker and the computer a secret. Why can't Hurley tell people?

The evil is this way?

Because if it's not kept a secret then all the Not!Cool Kids will know. And it will no longer be a Cool!Place for all the Cool!Kids, and .... I dunno.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think Hurley was to keep the food a secret, so he wouldn't get 35x what he got from Charlie.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Speaking of the bunker....

(1) Desmond asked Locke (or Jack) if any of their group had gotten sick yet. (2) Desmond's bunker buddy (Kelvin?) died. (3) Desmond looked like crap, though a good deal of that was likely b/c he hadn't slept more than, say, an hour and a half at a time for years, but possibly he was getting sick. (4) Desmond had the injectable mystery hatch drug, presumably to ward off "the sickness." (5) Didn't crazy Rousseau's shipmates get sick (leading her to kill them)?

Which brings me to 6, 7, and 8:

(6) Group 2 of the survivors started out numbering in the 20s, but when we saw them all together, it looked like 8 or 10 (unless that wasn't all of the group). (7) They were in some sort of annex of the bunker.

(8) Sayid's comment about Chernobyl probably isn't too far off the mark -- maybe the bunker (or what it's sitting on) killed Kelvin and the people from group 2 and crazy Rousseau's shipmates.

....or had all y'all already figured that out, with fewer steps in the deductive process?

Maybe the numbers have to be typed in every 108 minutes in order to vent gas or something, to prevent the toxic waste heap under the bunker from going 'splody.
