Is this all from official DVD closed captions?if so,
Wow, crazy possibilities with these nuggets. Man/Women over voices almost seem parental. Or caretaker-ish.

No, tides are controlled by the gravitational pull of the moon...not magnetism.What if......
The Island is growing?
I'm not a physics expert, but if we are assuming there is a magnet that can be used to pull planes out of the sky, is it super far fetched to think it could be pushing the ocean away? Tides are controlled by magnetic forces, no? If there is a "project" of some kind of growing an 8th continent...wouldn't that explain the Black Rock? Perhaps originally it wasn't 5 KMs inland.....perhaps it was originally docked?
For the record, I'm not endorsing this theory, just thinking outloud,........ but I do reserve the right to claim it as mine IF it turns out to be true.
However, there is still NO question that there will be an eventual link between Locke and Sarah's legs. None.

Yeah, but there are small pieces of metallic stuff floating the water that can be controlled by a magnet and, well, oh, heck.... it's scientific stuff. Ask bueno.No, tides are controlled by the gravitational pull of the moon...not magnetism.What if......

Where'd you find this, Boltz?This reminds me of a show (Twilight Zone?) I saw where an old couple's spirits are still in the house and taking care of and/or scaring people.
If the above is accurate, I wonder if it's people in another dimension...or hidden by a gravitational field that distorts light around them--a personal black hole.

Why is everyone trying to get Desmond to the island 16 years ago? Dude could have been there for three months, I see no reason that he had to be there for 16 years.Doctors have to go to school forever to be a spinal surgeon when you count interning and residency (ie, only allowed to assist others and can't be the primary surgeon). A cracker jack whiz kid surgeon MIGHT get a shot at 34 at the earliest if he started school right at 18 and never let up and was better than almost all other surgeons. I looked it up HERE, a neurosurgeon (neck and spine) would need 6 years of experience MINIMUM after med school.Assuming a doctor doesn't graduate until he's 25 or so, Jack wouldn't have become a doctor until then. And even then it would probably take him a while to be as prominently placed as he seemed to be. I say he was at least 30 in those flashbacks. He doesn't look much older than 40 now. So I don't think it was any longer than 8 years ago. Probably much less.Not sure how long he's been on the island, but I think the hospital scenes were older than 4 years back. Jack's hair looked awfully 80's to me, but that would make it 25 years ago, which is ludicrous. I still say that's either 8, 15, or 16 years ago to coincide with the numbers. 4 seems too short.Based on what? How old do you think he is on the island?The Jack/Carol Vessey scenes seem to be have taken place longer than 4 years ago.And your point is?I don't think so. When lock was in Australia he says hs'e lived that way for "4 damn years".Where can I place a wager down that the moment Jack's patient/wife regains feeling in her lower extremities, John Locke loses his?
I'd bet a case on it.
So you are looking at . . .
4 years under grad
4 years med school
2 years of specialty med school
6 years residency/training
That's 16 years, making Jack a minimum of 34. And that assumes that Sarah was his first case, and if she was as bad as she said NO WAY do they let him do the surgery as a rookie.
If we want to call BS on the show for trying to fudge reality to make him a surgeon at 25, that's another debate on its own, but a "REAL" and experienced spinal surgeon would have to be around 40.
The issue that I have is that if Desmond is the guy in the stadium (which we assume he is and not a clone/twin/double/brother/etc.), then Desmond would have had to get from the stadium to the island, and as I mentioned earlier there's no way he got to the island 16 years ago as Jack would have to be almost 50 (minimum 34 + 16).
If we go backwards, how old do we think Jack is on the island? To determine when the Sarah accident was, we need to allocate time for him to have operated on her, have her recover, have them date, have them get married, and have them not be married any longer. That has to be several years, IMO.
As for Desmond, for those that have the DVD and just watched the first season, by any chance does anyone remember him being in the first season anywhere--even in the background? I suspect that he will start appearing in other scenes from other flashbacks involving other characters, and I'm curious if they already showed him last year and we missed it or did not pick up on it.

Another little factoid that has been lost in alot of the Desmond/opening scene speculation...Didn't the guy in the hatch immediately throw on a uniform when he heard the bang? Seems to me he is responding per some duty, rather than out of fear/curiosity. The person in the whole (even if it is Desmond) is there doing a job or following some orders.

I watched the whole first season again, too, and now am tempted to watch it again to see what else I missed! We used the CC also - very handy! How the heck did the other survivors get a hold of a radio if the front of the plane is near Jack, etc. and doesn't work? Could there be yet another plane on the island they haven't found yet?I watched it all in the past week, some parts several timesI think we should restrict it to people who have seen every season 1 episode in the last 4 days.
One thing I caught was if you enable the CC on the DVD you can see what the whispers were and what Boone heard on the drug runners airplane radio.
"We are the survivors of flight 815"

Weird magnetic wall + power source that makes super spotlight = Mega Magnet.It's not beyond speculation.

Any speculation on if/who dies from the raft??I say its RIP Jin.

Also it looks like episode 3 is going to be a (spoiler):
A Locke flashback being that his dad is a guest actor for the episode.

I agree with the new guy. I thought the giant wile e. coyote magnet thing was a joke, but apparently some people are serious about it.Weird magnetic wall + power source that makes super spotlight = Mega Magnet.It's not beyond speculation.

But that same guy can have a billion candle watt power spotlight and a tree uprooting black cloud monster?iHugs.The more reasonable source of the magnet was a generator.... Not some uber-magnet. Can you find me a magnet anywhere that can pull a plane from the sky and pull a wooden boat miles ashore? Now why do we think some guy on a 70's computer can have such a thing?Want to be friends?Weird magnetic wall + power source that makes super spotlight = Mega Magnet.It's not beyond speculation.

I had to travel to Page 2 to find this thread. That's unacceptible.
Wasn't there an episode last year where the tide was rising ALOT more and they finally agreed to go to the caves?What if......

All the magnet would have to do is interfere with the plane's electrical systems, not pull it out of the sky. As for the boats, we're saying it effected navigation not that it actually pulled them.I'm also theorizing that the magnet's power varies.....probably up to full power when controlling the monster.
But thanks for your lovely contribution.
heard on the radio that the producers try to make sure that if there is a black rock in any scene that there is also a white rock in the same scene...and that 40 days was the first season, on the island, and the second is to be 88... for whatever symbolic day count 88 is..

Not sure if this came up in the last 20 pages, if so I missed if...Throwing out there that Desmond is actually Jack's (half?) brother. Of course there's Desmond calling Jack "brother" about three times or so and Jack even calling Desmond "brother" once sarcastically. That doesn't mean much by itself but where did Jack's dad run off to where he ended up dying? Seemed kind of random but was any reason ever given for his visit to Austrailia?The Lost writers don't waste much time or space so just thinking using "brother" may be significant.
Buckychudd
Footballguy
Possibly.However, I think you are reading too much into it. I think the writers wanted him to have a catch phrase that the audience (and Jack) would immediately recognize.

The half-brother thing would be a bit too trite.

I've been thinking about this, and I think you are right.Desmond is a medical researcher of some kind.

I'm leaning this way myself. For those of you theorizing he was only on the island for a short time (3-4 months) consider how non-chalant he was with his morning routine, injection, etc. The feeling I got was he has been there for a while, he was much too comfortable in his routine to have only been there for a short time.
Buckychudd

So if Desmond is a medical researcher, it would indicate that the occurances on the island are of a biological nature rather than a mechanical nature.Which kind of shoots the nanobot theory to threads.
