here's a link to the sound cicada's make

Something else that my coworker pointed out:she thinks the music at the funeral was the same music that Sayid and Hurley heard on the radio that one time when they were able to pickup a radio broadcast for a few seconds. Can anyone with the season 2 dvds confirm?
I also agree, I'm not sure if Juliet is playing Jack or not. Recall Sawyers Long Con episode. He conned that woman by making her think she was in on a con with him. Maybe by telling Jack how they planned to break him is actually part of their plan.
Adding to further speculation, could "Patchy" by Radzinski? Afterall, they found the glass eye in the Arrow along with the Bible that contained the missing frames that Radzinski took out of the Swan's orientation film.

Well, either Juliet is in on the scam, or they are Ben's x-rays.
Remember he said he found out about the tumor 2 days before Jack (and Locke) arrived. I would think Juliet was involved in the diagnosis of the tumor.
Ben and Juliet's discussion on the beach was out of Jack's range. He asked her why she showed his x-rays to Jack. Which to me, means Juliet was serious in her message to Jack.

I think it was pretty obvious that Locke was being sarcastic. It was actually pretty funny.

S.R. must be Radzinski (Kelvin's partner). Wonder what he's hiding behind the Ping Pong table on the shelf? It can't just be the Orientation film. Or maybe it's under the table. Plus, we already saw Locke going through all the books, at one point, looking for hidden stuff.
I wonder if Radzinski really offed himself or was killed by Kelvin. There's a lot of info in those journals. If Desmond survives, he's gonna want to read all of 'em! Wonder where Kelvin buried Radzinski within 108 minutes.

I guess we now know how different people have been seeing images of dead people, and having it seem so real. Not to mention that it explains the visions of Walt as well.

If the monster judges people, it would explain why they acted that way (and maybe why they are stuck there).

that think flying by was just
junk flying around from the crash and the
engine was still running and stirring up debris.
and as jay said the thing blew up
after locke caused a guy to get sucked into it
by causing him to stop right in front of it,
by calling to him to get away from the engine

Seeing how the monster killed Eko, I have to wonder if the monster killed Steve/Scott back in season one instead of Ethan.
And Ethan then took credit for the death as leverage to get Claire back.

Not only did old eyepatch know about the camera, he was magically there looking at it at the exact moment that Sayid connected its feed. Apparently this was just so that he could look menancing and turn it off. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
As for why he was able to know he was being observed at that moment, the Hydra's cameras have a light on them to show that they're working. When Sayid patched in the camera, it might've activated the camera as well as started to receive the signal. Also, the camera pans in the room before revealing Eyepatch man, which would be noticeable visually and possibly audibly as well.

I'll bet we find out that ol' Radzy was able to hear everything that was going on in the Pearl station when (and before) the camera suddenly came on in his station. He's been waiting for this confrontation for a long time.

Given the misinformation about the hatch that blew up present on the Pearl's orientation film and the big bunch of notebooks just abandoned, didn't we infer that the orientation film was a lie?

locke yells at a guy to get away from the engine, guy stops.
then this frame is exactly the next from after guy yells, "what?"
then these next three frames inexact order after guy gets sucked into the engine.
pic 2
pic 3
pic 4
guy getting sucked in because he stopped right in front of the running engine is why it blew up
wow they were big changed to links
