Dawn ,'The Killer In Me'
[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.
So in the episode, Locke was supposed to pick thingS, not thing, and he picked the compass, the sand, and then the knife
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.
Sorry, Steph, if I sounded confrontational. I meant that to come across as "I agree with you. Would you care for some tea?"
So yeah, that compass. Hee.

Excellent, Teppy. I got an e-mail from a reader who was all: "Toth! Shirty! You're a Buffy fan!" Only with way better words. I love that Buffdar is still a useful tool.
Gotta love YouTube - Richard visits young Locke [link]
"Which of these things belongs to you already?"
Richard gets annoyed when he picks the knife.

After first handling the sand and the compass. Thanks, Laura!
The recap is up. I took a deep, deep drag on the speculation crack pipe, toward the end.
Not sure if this has been mentioned. A friend of mine theorizes that the hatch was created to keep the buried H-bomb from going off! My friend also notes that Sayid (back in season 2 when he and jack were nosing around under the hatch) said he had only heard of concrete that thick being used at Chernobyl.
Hmmm.... Obviously, what was going on with the hatch was a lot more weird than can be explained with just an H-bomb, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's something to this.
I saw that theory being floated on TWoP or somewhere. I think it makes the most sense. They made a big deal about how thick the concrete was. Another possibility -- if it's not where the bomb is buried, then perhaps it was to double as a shelter, in case there was ever a problem, but I think your friend is right.
