Ok, then, let's look at other things. Vinyl houses? The clothing? I don't see how they can justify all that without significant outside contact.

I'm not versed in anything like that, so I can't say either way

I do think they have a lot of contact with the outside world (That or the situation is more extreme than we think, like everyone's in space or something), I'm just trying to find evidence for exactly when the last contact must have been.

Plus, in Season 2 there was the Dharma supply airdrop - so someone is still thinking something is going on there, clearly. That could be a lot more extensive than we think.

Yeah, I was just going to bring up the Dharma supply airdrop. And don't forget, they have boats too. Boats need fuel. So they do, in some way, have contact.

I really want the story to get back to Desmond and his girlfriend and those mountain guys. D: I thought that was exactly where 2.5 would start off. Maybe that's where season 3 will start off? Either way, more Desmond, if you please!

Desmond and Charlie are hawt Easily my fave characters.

Damnit! Why do I keep coming back to this thread??

[I'm my own MILF]

Henry Ian Cusick is on board as a main cast member for Season 3. This means much more Desmond, which is clearly awsome, because he's great.

I don't believe either Harold Perrineau Jr. or Malcolm Kelley have been signed up for Season 3, so it could be left up in the air for a very long time as to whether they genuinely got away or not. You know how The Others are - they could have quite readily steered them towards absolutely nowhere.

I'll agree with that.

However, the episode showed that the Others had/have very significant contact with the world (Stephen King novel?). So who knows what they can know.

Of course, this was the first episode I've ever watched.

The novel was Carrie, which was first published in 1974, so that doesn't really prove much, that's 30 years before the plane crash.

Of more interest is that "Downtown" was played on a CD - I've not yet verified when it was first printed onto CD, because it is a bitch to search through all Clark's compilation CDs, but it might narrow down a date of The Other's definite last contact with the outside world.

My best guess would be '86. That's when Petula Clark's Greatest Hits CD was released. The studio album that Downtown was on wasn't released until 1994 in CD form.

Just been following up a rumor and I think we might be wrong about CD - I think it's actually DualDisc, judging from the markings on the inner ring of the disc when she puts it into the player (About the 40 second mark).

Dualdisc was first rolled out in 2004, so that means they have pretty much constant contact with the rest of the world (Presuming, of course, that the makers didn't just bollocks up with continuity, but given that all the other music aside from Hurley's CD player have explicitly been on old-style Vinyl records, I doubt they did).

Edit: Just want to say, I absolutely love the first segment of this episode. I've watched it like eight times now, it gets better and more interesting every time. We see The Others as normal Humans, with petty disputes going on. Yet they know instantly what to do then Oceanic 815 crashes, and Goodwin and Ethan have no hesitation in obeying Ben's orders.

I think people are reading too much into this and it could be a minor boo-boo on the producers' part in regards to what type of disc she puts in the CD player to listen too.
