Has anyone thought about:
the phone Does anyone else recall Sayid saying something to the effect of “that satellite phone is far more advanced than anything I’ve ever seen”
Uh…? Our communications expert unaware of a piece of communications technology? Now, granted, Sayid could not be expected to know every make and model but does this line not ring of a sort of “it’s not from our time” sort of ambiance?
Personally things like this lend all these “divergent timeline theories more credibility.
adam & eve and the stones Debunk this quickly if you’d like as I can’t recall specifically what the stones were like (big vs. small etc.) but is there any chance they are related to the backgammon that Locke and Walt played constantly in the first season (a potential throwback to ProfOzone’s “Light and Dark” theory) I mean…white and black pieces…the allusions to the game as a larger theme in the show Locke makes…
charlie’s death So many people (specifically on Lostpedia) are freaking about Charlie’s death. There are so many “Could’ve closed the door from the outside….could’ve swam out the window…could’ve let the station fill up…” type comments that it’s making me dizzy.
1) To clarify, the air pressure in the station is what kept that moon-pool stable (see “Deep Blue Sea” for explanations on what happens to moon pools upon de-pressurization) If Charlie hadn’t closed that door there’d’ve been a giant pop, lots of water would’ve started coming out of everywhere and the concussion wave of all that pressure going kablooie wouldn’t have done Des or him any favours.
2) Swimming out the window and up to the surface would also have been a bad idea. He needed a weight to sink down to the level of TLG before running out of breath…going up would have = the bends. Also, if he survived, our favourite one-eyed immortal russian would’ve been right there to finish Charlie off.
The question I do have about all this is: if Mikhail’s mission was to make sure that jamming continued (which he failed btw) why did he just settle to pop that window…I mean, he didn’t really do anything to verify that the jamming was back on or that anything other then the window blowing up had happened
Oh ya! If he had blown himself up, he would’ve come through the window with the water or we would’ve seen something to the effect of his destruction like bloody water etc. (all those who would respond with “Well they wouldn’t want to show the gore” or something like that…see: Artz going BOOM)

He had been told that only Ben, Gretchen and Bonnie knew the code, he didn’t know about the relevance of Charlie to crack that code, he would have safely assumed Charlie was just trying unsuccesfully to switch it off, he wouldn’t know the relevance of the yellow light. So why not just neutralize it, make the station safe but no longer a threat. I bet Ben though knew the relevance of it being Charlie in that station.
the phone was probably just the latest piece of kit developed by the scientists at the hanso foundation.
swimming up, he may have drowned, but staying where he was, he definitely drowns. maybe he was just sick of surviving one more day and waiting for desmonds next flash, and he thought he might just see this one through. and didnt desmond say, he saw charlie drowning in that room, and he saw claire getting off the island, in the same vision? maybe that’s why he was happy to stay their and let the future as des saw it, take place.
Good point about Charlie.
I was growing quite tired of people online with “the-shoulda-woulda-coulda’s”. Your post clarifies what I’ve been wishing I had the time to in the last two days;
THERE WAS NO OTHER WAY
Thank you.
=) Thanks Andre, glad to help.
@flann I see you subscribe to the “naomi is with hanso/DI” strain of things
@Louis Oooooohhhhh. Well why didn’t I think of that. Thank you =)
All Charlie had to do was slowly blow out while surfacing. Which would’ve took a few seconds, and he would’ve been fine. In my experience(72 Dives), people only get the bends when they don’t breathe out while surfacing.
The one eyed russian held the gernade in his hand while it exploded. He’s dead.
It seemed to me when Charlie told Des to get the scuba gear ready he had changed his mind about taking his fate. Which is why I was confused when he didn’t try and save himself.
@Archaos i didnt really know there was such a ‘strain’, i’m pretty new here, i just thought that it was one explanation. also it gives fairly simple explanation of the advanced technology, with sayids comment throwing us off, and making us all think of more fantastical explanations. which is the kind of thing i’d like to see in lost. sending fans off on tangents, spend hours laboring time travel theories, trying to make them work. when actually the answer was very simple all along
come on guys, i’m tired of hearing people say he could have gone out the window, did you guys even see the window? Charlie COULD NOT have fit through the window. I also I do not think Mikhail is dead, he threw the grenade away from himself before it exploded; plus only five characters were suppose to die at the end of this season (I think the producers told us that), the five were: Bonnie, the other girl in the looking glass, charlie and the two Others on the Losties’ beach (killed by Hurley with the car and Sawyer). We thought Mikhail was dead once before too, don’t forget that!
