Lisa Wrote:We definitely saw the arrow in Charlie's neck!! In gruesome detail I may add.You're right. And if ever a scene has been driven home to us, it's that one. I think the producers must be quite proud of themselves with that particular scene the way they... if you'll pardon the expression... keep forcing it down our throats!

We didn't see the lightening actually striking Charlie; it was intimated but not actually seen.I remember seeing the flashbacks of what Desmond did in place of Charlie, but not the original visions themselves where Charlie died. I have no reason to doubt Desmond, either. He doesn't seem evil or bad or anything, but he was on the island before the "jet people." It was Desmond who caused the plane crash by not pushing the 108 button and releasing the EMP. I dunno. I'm lost.
Paul R Wrote:Wifey and I watched the episode again last night and have come up with this...Paul, this still seems to hold as possibly true, and coincides almost exactly with what Ben told to Jack.
Back in 'Enter 77', Locke entered the numbers on Mikail's computer that he was told would alert Dharma to the fact that the Hostiles had invaded. Suppose Naomi, the parachutist, is one of the Dharma rescue crew and her ship is full of Dharma operatives ready to open a can of wuppass on the Hostiles?
That would go some way to explaining why Ben was so aghast to learn about her. He would, presumably, know about Dharma having a stand-by team ready in case of Hostile invasions.
