Ha! I didn't think of that. They shoot scenes that they say are on the US mainland all the time, though.
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Our wings are not tired.
Someone named Marty over on TWoP just wrote:
The producers appear to have painted themselves into a bit of a corner because the Black Rock was the source of dynamite for several characters in the early seasons. Dynamite was not invented until 1866. That meant the ship's arrival at the Island had to be after the slave trade had been abolished in most places, making most of the logical early destinations now illogical.
I hate when the writers don't pay attention to stuff like this.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Yeah, the most prominent places that still had slave trading in 1867 (when Richard's flashback took place) were Cuba & Brazil, but why would an English speaker be of use in those places?

I am going to be furious if the last episode has Hurley sitting in a diner with his family when the door to the diner opens and...the screen goes to black.

English speaking might be valuable to be a go-between/translator for the Brits and his fellow slaves.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm sure that it wasn't current to refer to America as 'The New World' in 1867 or whatever. Should have been the 1600s.. oh well.

Eh, I am not bothered. People were certainly referring to Europe as the Old World much more recently than that.
If they weren't bringing Richard and his fellow chainees to wherever to sell them, does it matter if the slave trade was illegal? In a practical sense - Richard wouldn't know he had any other option than to do whatever they wanted him to do.

Nah, they'll be fighting a dragon and a band of monsters in a dark rainy alley.
