Bill’s Lost Site

Can’t find anything specific to hiking through jungle terrain but here is what I stumbled across.

An average hiker will go 2mph on flat terrain. Going up hills will slow you down to about 1mph while going down-hill will result in the same speed as going on a flat trail.

About a days journey is what Sayid estimated the trip to be. Most of the hike is relatively level and while the jungle could make things a little more difficult to cross our Lostie’s don’t seem to have any problems walking through it.

All this being said, I would guess conservatively they were walking around 10 miles just reach the balloon. What we don’t know is how close the balloon was to the other side of the island.

This leads me to believe that the island is at least 10 miles wide in a certain direction.

This will come as a total shock but I have discovered the only way Sun could have become pregnant - she slept with her husband.

If you don’t buy that theory then here are some others:

1. Sun cheated on her husband with either Baldy or someone on the island
If it was Baldy then she was pregnant for several months before realizing it. Possible but I doubt it. Baldy didn’t show any interest in her in the past and while I’m sure he found Sun attractive he had eyes for a girl he met at Havard. As for Sun being with anyone else on the island … nothing to support theory.

2. Doctor was wrong - she could always have babies
The opening scene sure made it seem like Sun and Jin were trying for a kid. Wonder why it didn’t happen. On top of that you have the issue with the doctor then having to make a mistake. While this is possible I don’t find it likely.

3. The Island got her pregnant
Something in the water … or over at the Fuselage someone posted about Dharma genetically modifying the fish that the Losties catch so that Sun could get pregnant. Wouldn’t bet on this theory being true.

Which leaves us with ….

Sun and Jin’s flashback being a fabrication. There is nothing wrong with Sun or Jin. By controlling their memories Sun and Jin now believe that there is a “miracle” on the island. Sound familiar? Remember Locke - from day 1 he was driven to understand the island because he really believed that he was paralyzed. Lands on the island and poof - his legs are working just fine.

So, while you are free to believe in immaculate conception I’m going with memory implants for my theory.

Found it interesting that neither Locke or Jack could hear Ana Lucia talking with Henry - even with Jack’s ear up against it.

In previous episodes Henry makes mention of hearing conversations that occured outside the room.

So, why can Henry hear what’s outside the armory but Jack and Locke can’t hear what’s going on inside? Is Henry receiving information somehow (think nano swarm or remote viewing) or is this nothing?

The shows goes to great length to zoom in on the brand name of the pregnancy test Sun is using. The name is Widmore Labs.

Over at the Fuselage some astute followers have tied a potentially major clue to this pregnancy test. In the episode, “Fire + Water” Charlie has a flashback scene where a building has the words “Widmore Construction” on it. By itself maybe it’s nothing. However, the podcast for that episode points out that that Widmore is important.

Now, let’s assume that the name is significant. Is it possible that Widmore Labs and Widmore Construction are owned by the same person? Is Widmore tied into the Hanso foundation? My guess is that the Hanso Foundation is just a company front for many different Hanso interests - probably from many different business areas - operating under many different names. We will find out that Widmore and Hanso are attached at the hip.

So, Jin can’t understand what Sawyer and Bernard are talking about. Gumpy5 over at the Fuselage reversed the audio and here is what they were saying:

Bernard: Well, how do you know?
Sawyer: I got my sources.
B: Aren’t you going to tell him?
S: Not my place.
B: You should tell him.
S: Hell no! Let Sunshine tell him.

For those interested - the thread is located HERE.

The real question for this is why reverse it? Was it just a cute trick or was there something significant about reversing the conversation? Let me know what you think.

Not a great episode in my opinion. What took an hour to go over could have been accomplished in 5 minutes. This episode had some serious Soap Opera moments that I could definitely do without.

Anyway, with that being said here is what I found to be interesting:

1. Jin does a nice job of trashing the food supply for the Lostie’s by throwing a fit when Sun wouldn’t go back to camp with him.

2. There is more confusion around dates. Bernard and Rose are disagreeing about what day it is. Click HERE for an earlier discussion on this subject.

3. Sun’s English is really poor at the beginning of the episode. I think the early flashback scenes took place several months before arriving on the island.

4. There is no shaving cream in the hatch? I wonder if shaving cream has a real short shelf-life. Since I use an electric razor I don’t have any idea. Why wouldn’t they stock the stuff in the Swan bunker?

5. Sawyer is reading a Judy Blume classic, “Are You There God - It’s Me, Margaret”.

6. Big Soap Opera moment when Sun confides in Sawyer, “I need a pregnancy test.” Music and everything - wow that was terrible.

7. In the hatch Locke is looking at the cover of the Geromino Jackson album. That was referenced in a previous episode.

8. Another Soap Opera moment when Henry tells Ana Lucia that he buried his wife next to the balloon because it was closer to being home. Gag.

9. Where is Hurley getting his contraband food? It has to be somewhere cold as his candy bars aren’t melting.

10. The pregnancy test was created by Widmore Labs. Click HERE for more on that.

11. What was Charlie’s comment about making a dining room table about?

12. It was at least a days walk to the balloon. That should help us understand what the minimum size of the island is. Traveling through a jungle is 10 miles reasonable or is it more like 3 miles? Will need to research that. BTW - for those interested - here is a nice screen cap of the map Henry drew. Thanks to Sledgeweb over at the Fuselage for this.

13. How did Charley get a gun? Guessing it came from Sawyer since he controls the stash. How long until someone links Charley with Sawyer in the whole kidnapping Sun deal? Are Jin and Charley going to have an altercation?

14. How pregnant is Sun? Since I am not a birthing expert I have no idea. Could she be 3 months pregnant or is it more likely that she is 3 weeks pregnant? How far along she is could have a huge impact on my pregnancy theory. Click HERE for a discussion on the Fuselage about it.

15. When Sawyer tells Jin about Sun, Sawyer and Bernard talk backwards. Click HERE for a transcript of what they say.

16. The Doctor who met with Jin and Sun was Dr. Kim.

17. I love the conversation Henry had with Jack and Locke about luring the group into a trap.

18. Interesting quote from that conversation was, “These people that you seem to think are your enemies …”. Sure makes it sound as if Henry is trying to drive home the point that the Others aren’t enemies - that they fulfill some other role. This is consistent with Goodwin’s comments about the children being better off after being taken. The “Others” do not view themselves as adversaries to our Losties’s.

19. The last line was brilliant. As Henry asks, “You guys got any milk?” The wife thinks there is more to it than just a snappy line. She felt he was saying something like, “You don’t even have milk? We do.”

Side note - next weeks episode looks terrific. They really need to treat us to something special after Wed’s episode.
