At this point, I'd almost rather have no payoff to having a bad or contradictory payoff.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Well, we know why the plane crashed.
do we really?
You know, I thought about that this morning in the shower. Things that have been -- as far as we know -- answered are:
(1) Why the numbers needed to be entered.
(2) Why the plane crashed.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Unless they were both big fakey fakeouts that were part of the Others' psych experiments.
That's my main beef with the show -- I feel like every time they seem to be moving the plot forward, it's with a big "....or IS IT????" at the end. Ditto with character backstories. "And now you know why Jack is such a joyless tightass with no sense of fun...or DO YOU????"

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Why do the numbers need to be entered, though?

Some hoo-hah about discharging magnetic energy build-up, blah blah blah. And when Desmond didn't enter the numbers when flight 815 was flying over the island, the magnetic energy mojo blah blah blah apparently caused the plane to crash.
As far as we know.

Yeah, I remember the episode, but I didn't really think it explained it. As, how do those numbers stop discharging magnetic energy?
Suddenly, the black cancer in the X-Files seems to make sense..

The odd/interesting thing was, the Others reacted to the build-up shakey-shakey like an earthquake (which is why I was faked into thinking they were in California until they showed the plane break up) - that is, not a common occurence, but not an uncommon one either.

Actually, black cancer did kind of make sense (at least it did to me at the time) but then they had to go change everything after that too.
Hmmm. Perhaps everything going on in LOST is that fault of the Jebuslug.
Or the butt genie.

They never explained how that plane crash left nearly 70 survivors when everyone except maybe a stewardess belted into the extreme rear should have been quisinarted, did they?
