I suppose I'm truly spacey, as indicated above, because I can't think how to begin this. I overheard someone at the office on Sept. 21 (prior to the Season Premiere) say he would stop watching if some answers weren't given soon. Ah, the dreaded lesson of The Monkey's Paw! All right, it's not as perilous in this case, but if I said it outright I'd sink into cliche. The point is, as we all know, whenever the television [pixies? PTB? trickster-characters? I can't decide--you pick one] give an answer, they always raise another question.

Answer: A guy Jack had a chance encounter with several years ago is down the hatch (pardon the expression). We know this, because Jack happened to have a flashback about Desmond about 5 minutes before running into him. (I so called that, btw.)

Question: What would have happened if Desmond hadn't kept entering the code all these years?

Answer: we've found the source of the electromagnetic charge that caused the compass not to point North

Question: we still don't know what it is, and Desmond, being an accidental recruit, claims he doesn't know either, only that it makes his fillings ache.

Answer: The Raftaways have been captured by a band of
people impersonating aborigines, plus good ol' Ana Lucia (or Lucia Ana, whatever).

Question: Who are these people? (Most likely the survivors from the tail section, paranoid from their own experiences on "The Island of Mystery." Again, I so called Ana Lu's playacting and betrayal. I mean, who didn't? It was so obvious.

Answer: You can take a girl out of civilization, but you can't quench her desire for chocolate.

Question: Plain milk chocolate, or with almonds?

Awesome.
