Yes, but Island Dave wasn't acting like any of the other Island Visions, in that he was interacting with Hurley for an extended period of time. Island Vision Walt just showed up for a few seconds and then vanished, and Island Vision Jack's Dad just kept reappearing and vanishing.Because of this, I believe Island Dave is the same as Mental Ward Dave.
The jars marked 2004 just verify that its after 2004. People put stuff in jars so it will keep a very long time. So, the contents were jarred in 2004, but that doesn't mean that occured while Kate was there or immediately before that.As for Sawyer's age, thats not exact enough to draw any conclusions from.Did you see this post from a while back?I still don't think that the plane crash took place in 2004. We'll see eventually, I'm sure.
Here is some more date-related info. Im not sure if they provide any evidence for either side of this, though.Right before Kate tries to leave the farm in Australia, we see jars labeled 2003. Also, although lost-media doesnt have a screen-cap of it, the shelf below the one in the picture has jars with 2004 on the label [i just watched Tabula Rasa (1x03)]. Kate was on the farm for almost 3 months before she tried to "escape". Although its not explicitly said, we're led to believe that she got on the plane days later.Calendar
This calendar was on the wall of the train station in "What Kate Did". I won't repeat my analysis, but rather give people a chance to draw their own conclusions from it. You can figure out which 3 months they are based on the number of days, and you can figure out the possible years its from based on the which dates fall on which days.
Poster
The poster in this picture (Michael flashback when he was injured, and Walt was 2 or 3. Occupational Therapy Month 2000. Either it was a mistake, or it was intentional.
I tend to think this is intentional. The writers/producers have said in interviews that the set people are extra vigilant, and they need to make certain that everything is correct in every scene. Also, in a different interview, they said that although people assumed the show takes place in present time, that may or may not be true, as the show hasn't revealed any timeline at all. I have no idea where those interviews are though
Anyway, all of this leads me to believe that the show is set in the not too distant future, not present time.
ETA: it appears LOST media is temporarily down.
The letter Sawyer writes to the real Saywer was in a Bicentennial envelope. Assuming he was 7 when he wrote the letter, he would be 35 in 2004 or 38/39 in 2007/2008. The gap in age really isnt large enough to notice though, so this probably doesnt help either side of the argument.
So while those two pieces of info dont tell us very much, I stumbled across this post from another board:
Edit to give credit where credit is due. The first two pieces of info [the farm and the letter] were not found by me, but were mentioned in the thread refrenced above. [Although I did watch Tabula Rasa and found the lost-media screen-caps.]
I may definitely be wrong, I just find it really weird that Island Dave tried to kill Hurley. Mental Ward Dave just gave him lasagna and told him not to take his meds.Also, Island Dave did appear multiple times just like Jack's Dad. In fact, he disappeared into the jungle only to get Hurley to come towards the cliff, just like Jack's Dad brought him to the Cave/water hole. Hmmm, now that I think about it some more, I think your post makes me more convinced that the island has something to do with Island Dave.
Sorry, only works for paraplegics and terminal cancer.Oh sorry, you are correct, it has been scientifically proven that experimental electro-magnets can cure quadrapelegics and terminal cancers. Too bad no one told Christopher Reeve that.
Not sure if you are poking fun at me or poking fun at me poking fun at TheLaw or agreeing with me poking fun at TheLaw.Hulk, you are hanging on to this like me with Island Dave.
As to the episodes, I do vaguely remember Shannon saying that she was 20 and I think I remember them discussing when they first met, i.e. how old they were when their parents got married. I think both of those occurred right at the beginning right after the crash. I think those were before the first Shannon/Boone flashbacks.Island Dave leads Hurley to the cliff then care freely goes over the edge and happpiiilllyyy falls into the Ocean, wanting Hurley to follow his example.Institution Dave leads Hurley to the window jumps out and wants Hurley to follow ( question. What if that window, in reality, is on, say, the 3rd floor?)
Possible, but I don't think he was that malicious (I don't think the window/ground was imagined) in the institution, more of Hurley's subconcious that wanted him to continue to eat and enjoy things instead of working hard to get better. Institution Dave was more of a bad for long term health whereas Island Dave was more of a instant death. Oh well, I just wanted to reply to your post, but I won't talk about it at all anymore, I think it has been beaten to a bloody pulp by now.

I don't mind the repeats/missed weeks since we still get the 24 episodes a year, but it really sucks to have the last episode be the Rose/Bernard one. There was no cliff hanger whatsoever. We saw Michael back, but we all knew that was going to happen and the whole healing thing, while nice to get confirmation, wasn't exactly much of a mystery either. Locke's map was cool as well the week before, but honestly, until he goes exploring, the jibberish on the map is just that. Not like we didn't know about the multiple stations.Me too.Possible, but I don't think he was that malicious (I don't think the window/ground was imagined) in the institution, more of Hurley's subconcious that wanted him to continue to eat and enjoy things instead of working hard to get better.

Agreed on the jars, letter, and perscription.1x10: Raised by Another
1x13: Hearts and Minds
Im currently trying to get more info on the license, but if you take some time to look around lost.cubit.net, I think you'd agree that the chance of the license screen cap being a fake is very slim.
Man, I love Sawyer and Hurley. I re-read that 1x10 episode transcript and found this one:I would love to see a list of all of the names Sawyer has called Hurley and see if Hurley repeated every one when he beat Sawyer down. I was rolling when Hurley was punching him and I heard him say Jabba.By the way, nice compilation Doctor.
Very good research. You're destroying my theory. If you can remember what episode it was with the wallet deal, I can look at the screen caps from that episode.ETA: However, even if we can confirm the license, that will make for 1 piece of physical evidence in support of a present timeline... while we have two physical pieces of evidence of a near-future timeline.
Sometimes it is the stress of trying to have babies that causes couples to not have babies but I think that is more the woman's fault than the man's.Who knows what was causing his infertility. Maybe his tighty-whiteys were too tight and now that he's only got 1 pair, the elastic is wearing out and his swimmers are improving.It's certainly possible that the guy could've shot 1 mark spitz amongst all the doggie-paddlers. Haven't you guys ever heard stories of couples being told they'll never have children and then they do? Doesn't seem that crazy.If she did sleep with someone else on the island (IMO I don't think she did) it would have been Michael.What about Charlie? Was she unconscious when he abducted her? I can't remember.
I think it was pretty clear that Jin was the one firing blanks while Sun's reproductive system was fine. Hence, my thought that she could've slept with another on the island and that got her pregnant.
They need to put in all the interesting links.....Oceanic air, Hanso, etc.
That is a good idea... But man, I would hate to go through all 126 pages to find the useful links...Buckychudd said:

SPOILER .
Great idea. How bout whoever starts season 3- post 1- edits it to add every interesting link for all of season 3.
Yeah, I'm thinking Hulk needs to start the season 3 thread.
Did I call that or what?
When do we start this thread? At the end of season 2 once the finale discussion has died down? Immediately after the finale? The day of the season 3 opener?Apparently, there will be a LOST web mystery set up for us to occupy our time this summer, maybe that should have its own thread.(HULK) said:

If you guys want to know more, go to spoilerfix.com. They have some very tame spoilers, but there is one that is whited out that you have to select like we do here and then a link to someone who seems to have what we are filming today sheet. It lists out names of individual scenes. I peaked, but to be honest I peaked so quickly that I don't remember much except that there was a bunch based on the spoiler above. Again, it is not for the faint of heart as if I really read it all, it (the link off of spoilerfix.com, not spoilerfix.com's site itself) probably would have ruined it for me at least.
Don't cry, I don't think it means that much. Remember all the discussion about Rose being off the show because she was doing theater in the UK?First off, it's a pilot and as most people know a ton of new shows die quickly. Second of all, she could easily do one show and still do appearances on Lost. She isn't one of the key main people, so she could easily appear here and there. Think about Claire, who is more of a main character than Libby, and how few times we see her other than the Claire-centric episodes.Nope, didn't know that.
Good find. I knew the handwriting changed and didn't know the explanation. Odd that the "character" just up and disappeared and abandoned their journal. There was no mention of anyone missing from camp, so I doubt this will ever be answered on the show, and that this is just an Easter Egg so to speak for the internet crowd
Boone's license is from 1x21 "The Greater Good". If you have the Season 1 DVDs, its about 29 and a half minutes in; the "xx/10/81" is clealy visible. Lost-media doesnt seem to have any screen caps of the license, but here are two that show the pic from lost.cubit.net isnt a fake [and you can see the '81 in the second pic]:OneVery good research.
