unless Jack starts wearing Roger's jumpsuit, I doubt that's the case.

I'm just glad Farraday finally took his tie off.

Since it's known that hostile territory is the area outside of the sonar fences that would certainly make sense. The fences surround the barracks and not any of the Dharma hatches. If they did then whenever any of our 815r's ventured into one they would've needed to go past these fences. They did not. All of the jungle and beach area are all hostile territory.

They originally had tunnels connecting all of the hatches so they wouldn't have to surface except for the food drops.

About the barracks, here's a pic showing the fence around it.


No Dharma stations within the fence.

I was also thinking that this list from Jacob probably stemmed from what they did in 1977 during their Dharma days and maybe even in relation to the incident. Hugo was there but he was sent home because he was only the chef. The others there, Jack, Kate & James, were troublemakers.

Jack wasn't even on Jacob's list.

The list given to Michael was explained by the producers already. Ben needed Jack for the surgery, used Kate and Sawyer to convince him, and used Hurley, to send a message back to the camp.

The show has already made a point of showing how "Jacob" is thrown out a lot when in fact an individual character, mainly Ben, is doing something in their own interest. Given Ben's cancer and Jacob's new interest in Locke, it's safe to say Jacob's List may have been made up by Ben all along.

I also remember the theories/rumors on the stations being connected, but nothing has shown us that on the show. The Cerberus vents on the hatch door have been proven to be how the monster roams around, and some of them have been blocked according to the blast door map. As early as season one we see the monster push tress up from underneath the ground. This is how it travels.

It is also highly unlikely that Dharma constructed the Swan without the Hostiles knowing. That hidden fence doesn't keep construction noise out!

I had a theory a few weeks ago that I havn't fleshed out much, but it revolved around Radzinksy. There are a lot of clues here but something inlvolving the entire Radzinsky/Hatch story is really bugging me. I just can't piece this together.

A. Radzinksy really wanted Sayid dead when he saw the Swan model. He'll supervise the construction and eventually die in the hatch as well. We really don't know for sure if he shot himself or if Kelvin lied and killed him.

B. After the purge, Ben and the Others have access to the Pearl station, and can monitor the Swan, but allow Radzinksy and Kelvin to stay down there and live. The Others make no known attempts at taking it over.

C. In season 2, Tom tells Jack and Locke they have no business opening doors to hatches that don't belong to them. An odd statement given the hatch was built by Dharma and point B given above. The Others took over all of Dharma's building except the Swan, or did they?

D. Radzinsky editing the film and moving it to the other side of the island is really suspect. Why not just destroy it? Why risk traveling to the Arrow when he knows the Hostiles are out there?

BTW, He removes the part about not using the computer to contact the outside world. So Radzinksy wanted someone to use the computer? This eventually helps Ben out when Michael used the computer.

The first segment of the clip show clearly stated Widmore was behind the fake plane crash, but the second segment stated Ben 'claimed' to Sayid that Widmore had Nadia killed.

I hear that as Miles as well. The "none of that matters" line, then the rest is faraday.

who is narrating the "special episode" tonight? i know i know him...

nevermind, as i thought, it is Nestor Carbonell!

No clue, but this episode reminded me of something I had completely forgotten. They never actually showed us what was in that box Ben was hiding in the air vent of the hotel room.

When Hurley says, "they're building our hatch," then Miles says, "what hatch?" How come Miles doesn't remember seeing the hatch when they were time flashing? They saw it both before it was dug up and after it imploded. Juliet also gave a detailed description of what Desmond did down there. Sure, that was three years ago but come on.

Going back to the picture frame scene that changed when Miles came down from upstairs. If Miles' power can change things then maybe that's the key to stopping the purge from happening. He just needs to find a way to control or harness it. Maybe his Dad can help him with that.

If that ComicCon video was being sent out live through a stringhole across time then maybe it was intercepted by someone from Dharma and that's why they are regrouping and coming back to the island.

Claire's mom looked quiet a bit different between Jack's dad's funeral and when she got Aaron.

On your first point, I've noticed that when they started to speed things up, from the short S4 up until now, they've been throwing exposition reminders out though the characters a lot more. They actually mentioned they were doing this quite often now in one of the last few podcasts. Yea, it dumbs characters down but what can you do.

Yes, but their detailed files that Mikhail retrieved of them would also have shown that these were part of Dharma in 1977. Or, Jacob knew. It just seems strange that those 4 from the list were previously there.



This map shows subterranean escape conduits that were blocked after the incident.

Ok, I see what you are talking about now with the map. My bad. As for the information, I don't think we've ever found out how they actually got it all. How they found out Sawyer killed someone before getting on the plane is still a mystery.

What doesn't make sense is Radzinsky working at The Flame, supervising the construction of The Swan, living in the Barracks, and eventually traveling to The Arrow with the film edits ...

1. How does Radzinsky not know where the conduit would go? I notice the little question mark above The Swan station's conduit.

2. All of the conduit is headed in-land toward the middle circle. Wasn't that the question mark that turned out to be the Pearl? We can pencil in The Orchid and The Tempest somewhere on the map also, though I'm not sure if The Orchid will fall in this map or not. I still think we will see 1-2 more stations.

Also, notice what it states under The Swan. P.R.D. every 6-8 months: Fatalities 5

I remember reading comments when this first showed up online that P.R.D. = Periodic Resupply Drops. (Food drops)

Semi spoiler about something that is going to happen during the commercials for next weeks 100th episode.
