Now I'll HAVE to read the copy a friend (a non-Lostie but I working on him) forced on me a few months ago. The hospital connection is interesting tough a bit tenuous IMHO. Seven of the original 14 characters have had hospital scenes featured in their flashbacks -- if you count Claire's visit to the Dharma Initiative's medical station. You could really stretch it and call Sun and Jin's visit to the fertility specialist a "hospital visit." As for the theory of Jack/Kate/Sawyer being captured because they were the ones who have "seen things," I must take geek-boy umbrage. Hurley's "friend" Dave turned out to be pretty unreal. Sayid and Shannon saw Walt somewhere "he wasn't supposed to be," as Bea Klugh would say. Boone had a vivid hallucination thanks to Locke. Charlie had vivid waking dreams about Aaron and Claire. Who knows what Locke saw when he encountered the "monster" in season one -- I just don't see him calling a noisy cloud of smoke "beautiful." Consider all the whispers as auditory hallucinations, voices of the dead or psychic chatter and you have even more sensory encounters with the potentially unworldly. Getting back to the "Watchmen," the idea Lost sharing the theme of "doing questionable things for the greater good" is utterly reinforced by the revelations of the Lost Experience Alternate Reality Game from this summer. Without encroaching directly on events on the Island the game does provide answers to what the Hanso Foundation, the Dharma Initiative's funders, were and are up to (not to mention the possible meaning behind The Numbers). All of it points to the question of how far is too far to go when "saving humanity from itself." Enquiring minds may want to view the Lost Experience's climactic "Sri Lanka video" (here http://www.youtube.com/timdorr or here http://www.hansoexposed.com/player/d967feda2504097042c7d0a7de34096b). Well, until Wednesday keep asking "who will watch the watchmen?" Your “Watchmen” angle is cool stuff.

What about the horse that Kate saw and Sawyer also saw?? The thing about the polar bear is it seems so innocuous much like the horse but it holds the key? Back in a bit, I gotta get my copy of Watchmen... Will Great stuff, who knew a polar bear would hold the answers. What about the horse that Kate saw and Sawyer also saw??

When the numbers aren't entered, does the magnetic field falter and this is how planes, boats, etc. are able to get there? This "Watchmen" development explains much. Now I'm thinking back to when Locke and Desmond turned the key and there was a blinding light. Does this mean the forcefield was destroyed and now our Losties will perhaps start experiencing an Arctic environment? (They DID say the polar bears are coming back this season...) And what about Michael and Walt, who were told to follow a certain directional bearing to find "rescue?" Hmm. Good stuff, Sue. So…is the magnet what’s creating the “dome” around the island?
