... there being another bunker/hatch to the talies??:confused:

It just occured to me that when the tailies brought Michael, Jin & Sawyer to their bunker/hatch (Call it what you like) Michael didn't say anything about their group finding something similar on their section of the island. True, Michael never saw it with his own eyes, but he had been told about it. Even without seeing it, he should have made the conclusion that they were connected because there are no other man made structures on the island (that they've seen so far anyhow). Even if he didn't make that conclusion, why not mention the second hatch?

In Collision, you can see Eko recognize the Dharma symbol and he's obviously surprised by the differences in the condition of the two hatches but he doesn't give any indication that he knew that the 'lage group had one too.

It never ceases to amaze me how our lostaways are so reluctant to share any info they have or ask questions. :biggrin:

If you were in his shoes (Had your son kidnapped by The Others, washed up on other side of the island, met other group of survivors...so on), that might slip your mind. lol. Also, he wasn't one of the main "Hatch people", like Locke, Boone, Jack, or Kate, so it wasn't really in the front of his mind.

Agree. I think there was just too much going on to process all the information. Ecko didn"t say anything either and he was in there a lot longer. I think, once things settle down and they have time to process everything, they will then start sharing information and asking more questions- though, knowing the Lost-aways, maybe not.

True there was a lot going on in Michael's head, what with Walt being taken and all, but he was with the tailies for the better part of a week and it never crossed his mind to mention that there was another structure on his side of the island? :undecide:

They can't get to EVERYTHING in one episode! Wait till next week...Im sure it will come up. Same with Sayid telling Mike he saw Walt.

I think that in the next episode this will come up. Eventually everyone needs to have a little pow wow and just start going over all of this stuff. Between things like the bunkers, Adam and Eve, Hurley's numbers, Sayid seeing Walt, the drug plane, and the list the others had the secrets need to stop and people need to work together to figure this out.

in fact maybe this is all about trusting each other and working through differences. it seems the only time people or problems actually get solved are when these people actually talk and work together.

The hatch wasn't a main part of Michael's island life though. It wasn't a part of Sawyer's or Jin's either. I'm not surprised that none of them mentioned it.

Probably not enough time. It may just go by as implied that they told their
story.

Desmond was discovered after the raft left. If you meant why didn't he say something to his group about the other bunker ... then I think it's simply because more important things were happening at that moment.

I know that Michael didn't know about Desmond, but he did know about the structure/bunker/hatch - call it what you like. :)

I know that Michael was worried about Walt, and a lot of crap was going on, but you'd think that at some point in the week or so that Michael was with the Tailies, it would have occured to him to bring it up.

I guess I'm just expressing frustration with the way our Losties behave. Nobody asks the obvious questions or states the obvious observations like "Hey, even though I haven't seen it, there is another structure back on our section of the island. I wonder if it's connected somehow to this one?"

They must have told her something, because she was totally aware that they had extra clothing. Things to fill a pack, blankets and what not. So maybe it was off screen.
