Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
just want to note that child!Locke didn't pick the compass; he picked the knife, so Batmanuel went away disappointed, but yeah, that's where the compass is coming from.
Huh? But according to the TWoP recap for that episode:
Lil' Locke picks the vial of sand and the compass, both of which seem to please Richard. And then he picks the knife. Richard asks him if he's sure about the knife. He is. Richard looks profoundly disappointed, snatches the knife out of Lil' Locke's hand, and packs up the rest of the items.

IIRC, Locke picks up the vial of sand and the compass, but then chooses the knife.

If there is a better first post to see in the morning before coffee, I don't know what it is.

Sorry, Ash (or possibly...you're welcome).

I'm huhing your huh.

OH, wait. So in the episode, Locke was supposed to pick thingS, not thing, and he picked the compass, the sand, and then the knife -- when Richard was perhaps waiting for a different third, or something? Is that what you mean, P-C. You're probably right. It's been a long time since I watched the episode. I was thinking Locke only picked one thing, and I remember Richard seemed disappointed when he went with the knife.

This, since it made me smile.
I had completely forgotten that episode until people started discussing it again. A lot of old Lost is just blurred together in my mind now.

That was why I thought I remembered young!Locke picking the compass. (Or, if you will, picking it UP; perhaps not *choosing* it.) In any case, that's the same compass, right? It HAS to be.
(Also, Cindy, your reference to Toth in one of the recaps made me laugh and laugh and laugh.)

That's what I'm sayin'!

To be as precise as possible: I remembered in a vague way that there was a connection between the compass, Batmanuel, and Locke, regardless of whether young!Locke "picked it up" or "chose it." And it seems as though the flashbacky scene with the "pick it up" vs. "choose it" is likely confirmation of that, although of course we don't know that for 100% certain; it could have just been some random compass that Batmanuel gave to the next kid he found.
