put up my thoughts on adrift and a new (to me) theory here...

a mash-up of a bunch of other theories sort of, i guess.

what do you think?

I loved this catch. Green eggs and ham

down in the hole:
love this dialog
"you’re finally here"
"well, here I am"
it's almost seussian...

I never thought about what happened when Locke hit the buttons, and now I can't wait to find out.

It reset the timer back to 108 min.

but what happened on the island?

but what happened on the island? Maybe the point beyond executing that code was so that something *doesnt* happen on the island.

Lockeseviltwin: Nice Lostversion of the phrase from the Hitchhikers guide...

"So long and thanks for all the fish". :P

I agree with it being to cause something not to happen on the island. Hence the alarm as the countdown proceeded. Would you really need an alarm to make something happen? Plus, Desmond seemed rather urgent about entering the numbers.

Ok, I'm not crazy. I saw the logo on the fin and started damning myself for not having Tivo.

LOL! Yeah, LOST has definitely reignited my love affair with our Tivo. :biggrin:

i was thinking that maybe when the alarm beeped it was really the ships radar and he had to reset the numbers to coincide with the ship coming back to the island (the one carrying walt and the others) as coordinates to get them back to the island maybe. dont know.

Just when I get that song out of my head, someone puts it back in!!!

Walt is the way to Magrathea.

I think by entering the numbers..it stops a timer that Desmond set. It would appear a virus has killed many people and he is the sole survivor (remember his around the world trip?? Is he a typhoid Mary??)) if he is of sound mind..he can reset the timer..if he is dying or delusional...the timer goes down and then the hatch self destucts taking the virus with it...hence the urgency...thoughts...?

There is obvoiusly some sort of timer for something. No idea yet, but I would bet it deals with the sickness somehow.

And how much would life suck to live life haveing to type numbers on a computer ever 108 minutes. Man you would never get a full nights sleep. :biggrin:
