Xander ,'Conversations with Dead People'
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
Well, see, I initially assumed that the bomb worked by sending a continuous signal that would be broken if Keamy's heart stopped. Not the other way around. If it worked the former way, then moving the Island would have set off the bomb. But the way he said it worked, moving the Island wouldn't do anything if he were alive. And if he died after moving, the bomb wouldn't receive the signal.
And then there's the bomb itself, which apparently goes boom if you touch ANYTHING.

How did he say it worked? I thought he said it the way you initially assumed it.
Also, I'm guessing they had the green/red lights to get away from the cliche of the digital countdown clock, but it's still a mechanism of plot convenience only. If it's going to go off as soon as the light changes (barring Michael's stopgap), why the hell have a light at all?

He said that when his heart stops, it would send a signal. Not stop sending one.

I wonder if he just assumed that's how it works. I suppose that WOULD prevent him accidentally blowing up his boat if he somehow goes out of range. Sheesh - you'd think the electro-whazzit nature of the island would have blocked that WITHOUT being moved, especially being down that particular Dharma nerd hole.
what happened to the other people on the 'sploded boat? didn't I see other life rafts?
It didn't look like anyone got off in time. They were all running about with life vests on with Jin screaming, and then we saw the boat go boom.
Jin took a dive off the ship's stern and is just fine. Do you read me?
The boom scene with Desmond and Jin was precious.

5 by 5. You're delusional. (Maybe.)
I really want to cling to the notion of not!deadJin...but I'd have to go with Jack's!Dad timeshifing-fu because otherwise? No dots in the water as the ship parts were sinking. No lifeboats. No bobbing heads and a lot of fire and down-sucking slabs-o-ship.
Hmmm. Even if they were just drowning, we WOULD have seen people sinking, wouldn't we?
Sun's reaction really tugged at my heart. It looked like the other actors were actually a bit freaked out.
