Acting the way he does and with skills like he does, Locke's gotta have some kinda military background (even though his co-workers said he didn't)...i still think he's a got a lot to tell

Maybe he has some sort of 'black ops' history (some sort of military background that wouldn't exactly be in his record. And it perhaps explains how he got in his wheel chair.). Then again, he could just read/watch TV a lot.

So, I move discussion on 'the monster'. What is it? Locke seen it and said it was "beautiful." So I'm thinking it's something spiritual, or perhaps a reflection of the person, and their state of mind. I read somewhere where the shows creators admitted it was nothing supernatural however.

It could be a dinosaur. Or a robot. Or [you're idea here].

When did he say that? All I heard him say about it was "No [I didn't see it]"

he said he looked into the heart of the island, and it was beautiful or something along those lines

Also, while sayid's calculation based on the number of iterations multiplied by 30sec message length is right, wouldnt the messadge length be different? because in the begining it would be "iteration ... one..."
Now it is "iteration ... one ... seven ... two ... nine ... four ... five ...three... five ..."
and the difference multiplied 17 million times would mean the 16 years would be probably quite a few years longer than what it actually was.

I just watched episode five and I thought it was pretty good, probably the best episode so far. What I don't understand is why doesn't the monster come down to the beach where the people are? Is it afraid of the water or something?

 

[Arvin Sloane]

It hates sand! It gets all over it, and it has no one to wipe it off.

 

[persephone]

i thought tonight's ep was good. i loved last week's episode with Mr Locke (the bald guy). i felt so sorry for him when the guy said he couldn't go on his walkabout tour because he was in a wheelchair. he's my favourite character at the moment.

 

[waterfowl]

he said he looked into the heart of the island, and it was beautiful or something along those lines

He only said that in tonights episode...so when did Locke say in last weeks episode::

"What is it? Locke seen it and said it was "beautiful." "?

 

[mizz_smee]

i liked last nights episodes althought there have been better
but still it was good...
loche is also my favourite at the moment.

the original message would therefore have been shorter if what you are saying is true. this would make the 16yrs he said actually alot small...

 

[jlh]

i hate locke... he seems to be a know it all....

 

[SoCal]

No, the calculation was taken from the first iteration which was thirty seconds long. The later ones would have been more than thirty seconds.


I don't have a favourite person, they are all good except for the non-pregnant blond girl.

 

[gordo]

the calculation was from the latest message at the time...

 

[SoCal]

Ah, true.

I've lost faith in Lost. The Locke episode might have been bad, but last night's SUCKED.

ha yeah, jacks backstories ten dto be boring. And note there will be another one along the way. Although there are mpore surprising twists and insight into the other characters on the island.

You wont be dissapointed. At episode 18 its as fresh as ever if you notice the right things.

 

[Arvin Sloane]

Yeah, Ep 18 was good. And that's all I will say.

 

[SoCal]

Last nights episode was one of the best in my opinion, still not worth all the hype though.

you're an idiot

 

[routemarker]

Next weeks is very very good. Gives alot of insight into the korean couple.

 

[Sphyx]

oki have approximately theory no. 6 about the island.
it makes come true (i know thats bad english) whatever the person really wants. Examples:

*locke wanting to walk again - he got his legs back
*jack wanting his father to be alive - he is not in his coffin
*kate wanting to escape from the marshal - she got away

these are the only ones we have been given insight to, and as the episodes progress and we see more flash back, im sure more will come to light.
