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.
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

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.
