Apparently island time is slower than outside time, and that makes the relative time of Mr. Friendly's New York trip even more difficult to ascertain.
I'm curious to know how "some" of Ben's people can leave the island. Is there a magic box, a portal, dietary restrictions...
Part of me thinks that there has been a civilization on the island (not unlike Atlantis in some ways, but totally not Atlantis) for a long time...drawn to the giant magnet or whatever energy and that the temple may be an actual temple from that time... but anyway, this is what happens on LOST all the time. Cool little bits of info or images that we often forget about until later... which I actually love... but c'mon... nobody has really talked about the big giant leg that I believe only has four toes...
Why "totally" not Atlantis? Do you know something about Atlantis that makes this island exempt from Atlantishood? I mean, it's a magical freakin' island. It seems to have a deep history. It's in the Atlantic Ocean. Couldn't we be talking Atlantis here? And would that really be so bad?
It might be bad for Asaf, who seems to want previous interviews he claims to have read to be true, that the island phenomena is based on reality, and could actually happen. But I'm not sure the producers ever said anything like that, and even if they did, I don't care, because Lost is essentially a science fiction fantasy mystery, and I'm all caught up in their weird, weird world.
It might also be bad for my Myths and Mysteries professor at my university, because he has this whole powerpoint schtick that debunks the gazongas out of Atlantis, and I totally buy into his well-evidenced debunking. But I'm totally cool with my favorite-ever serial TV show possibly revealing that we've been on Atlantis this whole time.
So, Chris Allen, what about you? Do you protest the possibility that the island is Atlantis?
