View Full Version : Will food become a problem?
Laurieg 03-07-2008, 04:00 PM I wonder if the food drops have stopped?
This is two shows in a row that Locke has mentioned running out a certain food. Last week the eggs and this week he said they were running out of Chickens.
Now that Witmore (sp?) Knows where the island is, he is stopping the drops?
If this has already been posted sorry Mods.
TheLostMember 03-07-2008, 04:16 PM I think it was when Locke played that game of chess and exploded the comunications
palomino_grl78 03-07-2008, 04:19 PM I personally don't think Widmore had anything to do with the food drops.
I am not worried about them starving to death as they just haven't found the grocery store hatch yet.;)

Hmm... I wonder if this was also a double entendre regarding the women as well.
i_wana_get_lost_with_starla 03-07-2008, 05:00 PM I personally dont think the PRD's have been stopped/cancelled. Didnt the blast door map say PRD's every 6-8 months? and with what we know now about the island/time.. the next PRD should be months away (assuming, just one drop is made for everyone). The last PRD that we saw, was in "lockdown", that was just over a month ago. So.., the next drop is about 5 months away. Does LOST even have another 150 days left in the series??

Laurieg 03-07-2008, 05:02 PM I just took it as a sign, that island life is coming to an end. Or at least how we knew it.
rebelscum 03-07-2008, 05:13 PM i took this as a sign of how poor a leader Locke would make.Killing the last chicken when you are out of eggs is just madness.Strategic long term planning is just not his bag.
Jack Sawyer 03-07-2008, 05:22 PM I hope they run out of food; it would add a dose of realism, which I'm always for. Make them go back to boar hunting or something.

I was thinking about this. What did that chess game do to the outcome of the island. Please excuse my manufacturing background, but:
Who manufactures the Dharma products. Someone has to make the boxes, cans, labels, and printing, just to name a few. Someone has to package the stuff, and someone has to fly it to the location. Is there a manufacturing facility on the island? If so, how do the supplies get there? Who sends the food, where does it come from? So many questions, so many people involved, so many secrets.
How can so many secrets stay secret?

I agree. I don't think Widmore had anything to do with it.

One way is to have a piolt and a 1 or 2 man crew drop supplies from a safe hight who will not ask questions and just cash there enormus checks.

CarpeDiem23 03-09-2008, 02:10 PM don't forget there is a cow roaming around somewhere, i'd be straight onto that!
iameve 03-09-2008, 03:01 PM I would think with the others being on that island for such a long time that someone has a garden/farm somewhere.. looks like plenty kinds of food would be able to grow on that island... also, as long as locke doesn't kill everything I think that they should be okay.. hope so anyways!

Perhaps, but Ben's diary was written by Michael Emerson without the initial permission of Darlton. Only after he wrote it did they agree that it was "in character." Therefore, I don't believe that the exact verbage from the diary can be claimed as canon.
Fierro 03-09-2008, 04:18 PM The food drops are probably being provided by whoever is backing up Ben financially.
We know it is not Dharma. We know it is not Widmore. There is one big player left still...
Mr Paik.

If they put it into the show, it is cannon. Otherwise they wouldn't have made the decesion to include it.

There's pictures of one of the "food drops" with Widmore's company logo on it. That being said with His logo and on the basket and it being Dharama food, I think he may be connected to the original islanders.
I know this is a stretch but he could be Ben's Grandfather or at least related. Ie, ben's mom could be Penny's sister
