Barring any unfortunate internet screw-ups like last week, I'll be here with bells on!

 

[Jaron]

Could you take the bells off? They're pretty distracting.

 

[DeafPoet]

No, I'll be here bells and all posting every three seconds and you'll get used to it!

 

[Brent]

I'll be here, hopefully in the right time period.

Some questions I'm pondering...

Perhaps the island is moving in space, whilst the moving effect is also causing the remaining crew of the Minnow to become unstuck in time each jump. I base this on Mrs. Hawking's 70-hour window and the fact that the maps behind her and the Foucault's Pendulum rig seemed to be sketching more than one location on the globe... I think she was calculating where the island was most likely to end up and the 70 hours was the window they had while it was close enough to LA for them to hop on a boat and get there.

I think the continued jumps after the wheel was turned might be planned, as a way to hide the trail... as if Chloe was blocking a phone trace on 24. But since the castaways screwed up the cosmic balance by leaving there's a side effect for them only.

 

[Brent]

I think it is moving as well as making the castaways time travel. Remember, those in the helicopter physically saw the Island disappear. It was just, gone.

 

[Trippy]

I'm ready...bring on the LOST!

 

[Agent Richard07]

BRING IT!!!
