I saw that too, I didn't say anything because I thought Sahid had said she died.Dez said:

When was that? Was she the banker?
The Numbers are also listed down by the Swan station, but maybe not exactly. I can see the 8, 23 and 42 clearly. Looks like it might begin with a 2 and 4, but that leaves enough room only for either 15 or 16 (looks like a 16 to me)...
Some square roots are going on on that lefthand station. Square root of 16, 64 and 225... Hmm, that would result in part of the main sequence of numbers.
Numbers on the right side of the map as well...

I'm an idiot. I am looking at this further in photoshop and I just realized something. C = 100 in roman numerals so C I is 101, etc.
holy shit what an awesome episode. i hope to god the season finishes strong. btw, according to tv.com's lost episode guide there are only 3 more new episodes left in the season. please tell me that there are still more to come, and are just not listed. 20 episodes in the season seems kinda short.
also, fuck you to all the lost haters.

With all the stuff written on the blast door, the walls must have come down before time ran out in the past. Kinda strange that the vents still allow you to get back to the computer. Whatever it does can't be that deadly (if it does anything) or the vents would have to be sealed off. But Desmond still thought he would die. So the writing had have been from whoever was in there before him.

CVI = 106
Questions:
1) What was coming through the speakers? (some kind of countdown at the end)
2) Why did the blast doors come down?
3) Who was writing on the map on the blast door?
4) Why was the map being written?
I would assume that the notes were added at varying time periods, with some of them faded. Maybe multiple people who ran the station? Desmond, his partner and others?
Now, according to the orientation video, Swan is Station 3 (of 6, each dedicated to a specific scientific pursuit - meteorology, psychology, parapsychology, zoology, electromagnetism, and utopian social -something-). From the map, I'd guess that Swan somehow incorporates both CV I and CV II, whatever those refer to.
Some of the structures on the map are drawn in dotted lines... could those be incomplete? Could there only be four stations that were completed, two incompleted and one destroyed or never begun?

Oh snap...right. I forgot to add my theory on the doors.
I believe that the doors come down every time that supplies are delivered. The loudspeakers, although they were broken, were likely telling all personnel to move into the living area. Then, the gates would be dropped down and the supplies would be dropped. While we can't be sure as to whether the input of the numbers is included in this equation or not, it is clear that there has to be some sort of connection with these actions. It is likely in order to keep them from attempting to be rescued and to keep them isolated.
Well, if we think back to the one where The Tailies were hanging out, it was clearly unfinished. It had its basic foundation, and some basic supplies, but it was clearly not completed.

sounded like a verbal countdown
???
Somebody stuck in there?
I'm gonna guess somebody was in there, managed to find a way to the other "stations" and back within the countdown limit (maybe there are tunnels, doesn't seem like it would work going by the size of the island on the surface) and wanted to get the hell out.
Desmond was pretty much convinced he would die if he didn't hit the button. I don't think he would have wasted time writing stuff on the wall with the countdown going down. We don't know if "Kelvin" was somebody stuck in the situation or a dharma person that lured him in there after his boat crashed (though it might be hard to fake a death in that case since Desmond wouldn't have much else to do better than burying somebody). The orientaiton video was supposedly from 1980, desmond had been there three years... the writing could be pretty old and maybe he never saw it, although he had to be running somewhere when the computer was busted if he thought he stood a chance of surviving.
Next week is Hurley episode... maybe Leonard was down there. :lol
Also, did the second plane that flew by have an oceanic logo too or was it just the first one?

The finale we'll find out Locke is the grandson of Big Boss and he'll have to take out Metal Gear with his knife and a coconut.
From the looks of it, the map looks like it was drawn by someone who isn't privy to the inner workings of the island. So I'm guessing Desmond drew it. (he probably scampered off to another station?) We better see him before the season's over.

Is anyone else really starting to dislike Jack, or am I the only one?

Ya I heard them too and also think the drop was a scheduled event and not related at all to the numbers. As for whether or not "Henry" punched in the numbers, well, the more omgwtf thing to think is he didn't. But I bet he did after a few minutes or why would the UV lights turn off?

This season hasn't been too bad. The only crappy episode was Michael's at the beginning of the season. Charlie's while not interesting was pivotal...in that it created Darth Charlie 2 episodes later...which was all worth it.

Hang on.
A countdown starts, either telling the 2 staff to move out of the living area, or move within it. Blast doors come down trapping them in, or out.
The countdown warning sounds, during this time. Why ? What is the point of that when the only option would be to not push the button if trapped inside ?
If trapped outside, why ? What is the point ?
I can only assume that Henry Gale entered no numbers and pushed no button, that was a total lie.

What a fucking awesome episode! So many revelations, this one is gonna be hard to top this season. I'll have to watch it again coz it all comes right at ya... but as far as I know there's two eps without reruns, Dave and S.O.S. then a break I think, I just hope it's brief.
I was convinced that (fake) Henry Gale was not an other.. that ending twist really blew me away. And that map? I was also pretty convinced Locke would be paralyzed this episode in his flashback but his flashback was very strong, I was very sad when Helen said no. Also... that next episode looks really good, Hurley is going mad!!

I think the countdown is completely unrelated to the supply drop - as someone on the Lost forums hypothesized, a plane was detected by radar, and the lockdown was initiated as a result. After all, the place IS an underground bunker, and the blast doors can certainly serve as protection from potential enemy or military bombings.
It's a shame that the number next to The Swan isn't CV III because that'd be 108 and since the button has to be pushed every 108 minutes that'd make sense. Although the Sawn really isn't CV II it's just the closest box (bunker) to the sawn but CV III looks really close as well.

On the contrary, I'm starting to like him again. He casually owned Sawyer twice, and his threat about the guns was actually chilling. THAT Jack I like. Whiny, confused, arguing all the time with Locke Jack needs to die.
Best line of the night -
"Cause when I want the guns.....I'm going to get the guns."

Things to note:
It says that one of the hatches was "abandoned due to the incident in 1985." So, our incident - or our first incident - occured in 1985. Also, there was an "inspection" on December 7th, 1981. Just gives us a rough idea of the time frames we're dealing with. In addition, a spot is marked that says it is the "final resting place of Magnius(sp?) Hanso" - I wonder who THAT is?? On the right it says something about the 'geological compostion likely to cause magne(missing) interfernce with webtimer(sp?) project"
SO MUCH TO TAKE IN!!

Damn, it's perfect too. If it doesnt get back up and I can't find it again, I'll write more stuff up of what it says.
