but don't you think the leaky hydrogen bomb should have canceled out the healing properties?
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

What is even happening?
I don't -- at least I don't think it has to, because the Island's powers were never explained in a scientific way. Some of the Island's effects could be observed scientifically (rapid healing of wounds, particularly), but it's not like we ever had a sound understanding of what and how much it could do. The Island's mystical properties seemed to keep people on it/keep people alive until it was "done" with them.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

I'm fine with that, but less fine with having trouble figuring out other stuff. Like what was an island thing and what was a human-intervention thing.
I don't think the Island's mystical properties caused the pregnancy problems. I do think that the super high sperm count found in Island males may have been a result of the Island's mojo trying to circumvent the gestation problems caused by the leaky hydrogen bomb.
Now that, I like.
I love you, Nae.
And I you, Cindy (and you just improved my day many-fold. Even with the semi-bitchiness. Which I didn't bat an eyelid at, of course :P ).
Couple of edits, including moving chat down the post a bit. It's not been a good day for staying on topic.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Lost in chronological order.
Blimey, there's a lot of work involved in that.

Is it time to say goodbye to this thread? Maybe someday we'll flashback here.
