In "2 for the Road" Libby and Hurley are preparing a picnic and it was clearly daytime. Let's say late afternoon (perhaps Hurley wasted the entire day walking in circles so it became a suppertime picnic?) Then Libby runs off to the hatch to get some blankets. So how long would that take? 10, 15 minutes?
When she reaches the hatch, she gets immediately shot by Michael (unless she was hunting for blankets for hours). And when Jack, et al, show up it is already night. They couldn't have taken very long to get back to the hatch after demanding the guns from Sawyer, but the sun sets quickly in the tropics so we'll allow that too.
BUT... Hurley doesn't even ask about Libby until the "?" episode, the NEXT MORNING! Why wouldn't he have gone looking for her sooner? A missing person on THAT island has to be a big deal. And are we to believe Jack let Libby suffer all night only to finally send Sawyer and Kate for a fix IN THE MORNING? Or does it take 4 hours to walk from the beach to The Swan hatch or something?
Another question: This is the same Hurley who found his way to Rousseau's and back, who crossed the rope bridge, and spry-ly jumps out of booby traps. But now he's getting lost just trying to follow the beach a few klicks? There's something in that Dharma food, isn't there? Or perhaps it's just the dizzyheaded feelings of love? Or more evidence of his mental problems returning? (My guess is the food!)
At any rate, loved it. But please provide me with a reasonable explanation for the "LOST time" so I can continue to keep my disbelief suspended. ;)
One more... why are there oven controls (and Moog synthesizer style knobs!) on the chairs in The Pearl hatch? Did Locke turn the heat on somewhere when he turned that dial on the armrest? Or is that the seat warmer? And WTF is up with the fresnel lenses? Are The Pearl crew expected to write in very small letters?
Finally, I tried to make some sense of the log printout and was expecting to see timestamps that were 108 minutes apart. But whatever that data was, it didn't seem to match that theory. I also noticed the number after the colon repeated on every line, but there are 13.333... 108 minute cycles per day. So they should happen at different times each day. Also, there's this short buffer period for entering the numbers -- 5 minutes was it? -- which should further serve to make the pattern irregular. So maybe that's not a log of the Swan button AT ALL?
Great stuff guys, keep 'em coming!
