* What were you thinking, well obviously humour, when you had Charlie and Hugo fishing
* with that midevil lance looking thing?.* Going for efficiency were you?* Capture the fish and
* cut off it's head at the same time?

* Why isn't anyone using a couple of Locke's super sharp knives to make some proper, oh, six foot
* long wooden fishing spears with a trident on one end and some kind of string or rope tied on the other ?

* Now that would do the trick.* Send Richard Hatch I mean Foxy out there and he would
* shirley come back with some fish. Right Shirley?* Shirley?

* And Jin "the I don't need no stinkin fishing pole dude".* *Just do a Judo chop in the water and
* grab him some fish, then knock it silly on the side of the fuselage.* Me have anger issues, nah?

* Sorry for the ramble. . . .but thanks for the Great Show!

* They should be making spears for inland use as well.* I'd rather have a six foot pole with a
* sharp end and a knife than just a knife when faced with a charging squirrel, ah boar.

* Oh, yeah the Question:

* When are we going to see the LOST actually getting smart and start making tools and weapons?

* Locke seems to be the only one using his questionally stable wits by making that neat net trap.

If you're most interested in watching people make rudimentary tools and weapons... I suggest something on the Discovery Channel.

We approach these stories being about people and characters -- who they were and who they are.* While we try to work in the practical evolution of people trying to survive with their wits... It becomes difficult to write how they've been able to fashion a rudimentary lathe.* Or create the proper fishing tools.*

It's not a documentary.* But if we can find an interesting tool building story that's really about the relationship between two characters, we'll try it.* In the meantime, stop thinking so much.* It'll just spoil the fun.

Stop thinking so much, why Sir Fury that is what this whole group of people does half the time is over analyze every little thing! :lol2:

Well what do you know, the very next episode we have Locke sharpening up a spear with one of his knives!
