I'm thinking someone over at TWoP probably has deciphered at least a few words from the pre-lockdown intercom warning.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

Despite telling Locke he was stupid every thirty seconds or so throughout the episode, I actually liked it, though I'm frustrated by all the questions it raised. It's like they can sense when I'm about to stop watching the show.
What triggered the lockdown? Random malfunction? A certain number of revolutions on the exercise bike? (EW's theory about hiding the food drop from the hatch occupants is plausible, though where does the food get dropped from?) The hatch map is very intriguing, and I want to email off all the Latin for translation to a Latin-teacher friend... ("hic sunt dracones"="here are (were?) dragons"? Sursum corda=lift up your heart)
Not!Henry sure did a crappy job of trying to ingratiate himself with his captors, if you ask me. also? Just because he can draw a map to a balloon doesn't mean it's his; it just means he knows where it is.
Did Not!Henry push the button or not? I was all excited to see what happens when they don't push it, but considering they didn't show anything, we'll probably be seeing the whole scene from a different point of view later.
I loved Hurley's snark about "the loop". Hee. Also Kate's comment about getting out a ruler, as I was thinking that very thing.

My daughter (14 y.o) and I were talking about the lockdown/food drop. My daughter posits that the lockdown coincides with a food drop and that maybe they lockdown to prevent anyone from flagging down the plane - except none of the people on the beach heard a plane (and neither did the audience) so that may shoot that theory outta the water already.
I love that Not!Henry totally underestimated Sayid's obession with proving who he really is (and that he wasn't wrong to not feel guilty about beating the shit outta Not!Henry)
I had to explain why I was laughing so hard at Kate's ruler line to the daughter...
I'm loving the thought that Locke's dad is the real Sawyer. It would make sense.

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

Depends upon the altitude of the drop, and the type of plane, I suppose. A high altitude drop isn't terribly precise for something that can't steer on the way down, but then again, there seems to be something on the island that can draw airborne objects to the island.
Either that, or they have a stealthed flying saucer.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Maybe they sent it in by balloon, and used an exploding bat (leftover from the Japanese military) to pop it when it got close enough?
Okay, okay, I'm being random today.
You know, what Lost Island really needs is a random Japanese WII soldier who thinks the war is still on....

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Oh, I'll be damned. I thought the pile o' dharma food was Hurley's stash, from when Sawyer busted him eating doritos or something a few episodes ago.
Poor Locke. Poor, gullible Locke.

They really do. Except he'd be, like, eighty.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Commonly written on old maps as "Here there be dragons" and used to mark areas that hadn't been explored.
