We should start saying 'STATION" instead of "HATCH"

[bravado15]

I keep hearing people refer to 'the hatch' or 'the 2nd hatch' but this is really incorrect, w/ our new insight into what the 'hatch' actually is.

When we're referring to Desmond's bunker area we should call it the 'swan station.' We should only say 'the hatch' when referring to THE hatch- as in that thing they blew off w/ the dynamite.

And we assume that Ana and company are in another 'station' not another 'hatch'.

So for clarity sake, let's adopt this new term since we know the hatch is more than just a mysterious door w/out a handle in the ground.

Good luck dude.

I do agree, but it's a tough adjustment. I try to refer to the hatch as Station 3 or Swan Station. However, you can't call the new place Station 2 (because it could be Station 1, 2, 4 or 5). You can call it the 2nd Station, but that also sounds misleading. Hatch #2 works, but isn't technically correct - we don't even know if the new station even has a hatch. Maybe we can call it STATION X.

Yeah, I brought this up after the first episode this year. A hatch is a door, not a bunker!

But I doubt anyone will change the wording quickly...

maybe after Jack/Sawyer/Kate/Hurley/Locke/Charlie start referring to it in another fashion will it catch on.

Yeah, but see, if we stop calling it the hatch, I can't call it the "hatchlor pad" anymore. That is not working for me.
