What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That, I will believe. Ghosts?

What is even happening?

Was the wreckage under the water a whole plane? I was very confused, then got less so, then read through here and got more so.

Interesting literature speculation in Tim Goodman's blog's comments (riffing off the Kurtz reference):

[link]

Let me answer my own question. Digging back into my English lit stuff this other Conrad novel jumps out at me: "Lord Jim": About a ship thought lost at sea with all souls but later found and the scandal that arises from the crew having abandoned the passengers. The narrator of Lord Jim, a man named Marlow, also is the main character in "Heart of Darkness". So I expect a character named "Marlow" to show up any time now.

Also although Sawyer called Locke Kurtz the description might better fit Ben.

In the novel Kurtz refuses to leave and is "king" to the people of the settlement but not from the settlement. Ben is a Dharma person who betray the Dharma initiative and became leader of the others.

The underwater wreckage was in pieces but it looked like an entire plane - cockpit, tail, bits in between. Which means it's fake or some other plane.

I'm thinking there may be different values of "scientific explanation" at play.

So...magnets, still?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I just checked that scientific explanation thing out, and the exact quote the showrunners used was 'pseudo-science'.

Which is probably what psychic detectives refer to themselves as.

People who investigate the paranormal are sometimes referred to as parapsychologists.

The evil is this way?

People who investigate the paranormal are sometimes referred to as parapsychologists.

So, the ghosts need therapy?

Well, when so many people don't believe you exist, it can do things to you. You know?

Oh, silly question.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm still watching Lost. That's about all I got. I like Locke again and that is good.
