Anyone else notice that Charlie had one of the statues in his backback from the drug plan that crashed in the tree tops?

So here's my other question comment. I'm not an expert on radar but it basically is a wave that bounces off things and comes back correct? I'm assuming Michael said they were 15 miles off based on what he could see, I don't think you can tell that from radar unless you can see the island on the radar correct? When we saw the radar screen, we saw one blip, which was presumably the others boat. To my recollection, we did NOT see the island.
So how does he know they're 15 miles out(they have no GPS or they'd know where they are), and if the radar shows a 20-22 foot fishing boat, how come it doesn't show the island?
Maybe that's why an island that big has never been discovered to quote Sawyer, maybe something about the island makes it invisible to radar?

That's interesting...not sure though...maybe if they had asked somthing like why doesn't the island show up on the radar, then I'd think that...but I think you may just be thinking too hard here.
Maybe they just missed the idea that the island would bounce off the radar too, or maybe it's range is only 3 miles or so...

I know but my point is that they used that scene to fade out so while we saw the end of the ladder, we have no idea where an opening may be even though they kept pulling backwards (or whatever the technical term is). Could be just a few feet further down and there is a huge opening to offer up what the hatch has been hiding and they did the camera action to make it see like it went forever.

I thought that and yeah I probably am overthinking, but they said the radar came off the plane(I think the smugglers plane) and there's no way a plane would have a radar system that only works a few miles out because at the speeds even a small plane like that flies, 3 miles isn't that long they need to know where they are in relation to the landing strip etc long before 3 miles. If it was off the commercial airliner the radar would have an even greater distance since airliners fly at such high speeds.
I know on boats radar works pretty good distances, much longer than a few miles.
I think either they forgot the island should show up, or they did it on purpose because that's part of the intrigue of the island, it doesn't show up on radar for some reason.
I too think Frenchie's son Alex is alive and part of the pirates/others. That's why she hasn't given up on him, I think she knows he's alive.
Maybe it's like that twilight zone episode where they think they land on another planet and wind up killing each other and then it turns out they're in some desert near Bakersfield.

Because that Radar sucks! It took that small fishing boat less than a minute to reach the raft when they saw it on the furthest point on the Radar screen. That means that the Radar is only good for about a 1 mile radius at the most.
I have a question about Black Rock. That ship looks like it's from the 1700's. Since when did pirates from that era have spray paint to mark their explosive boxes.

My feeling was that the french women hid it there from her shipwreck. Possibly to hide it from her shipmates.

That scene with Hurley in the airport was classic. The dude is hilarious!
Personally I think that the whole thing is just Locke day dreaming on the airplane. How pissed off would you be if this turned out just to be a bad dream!
The other thing about the radar that was bogus. Clearly they had it fixed to the main mast and it could only point in one direction. However the radar screen showed a spinning radar capable of seeing 360 degrees.

I don't think it is a pirate ship. Locke said it was a mining expedition. It had a drill and then all those dudes in shackles, like slaves. Dynamite would fit in with miners.
Did anyone see the extra scene on Good Morning America? What was it about?

Was that the radar, or the dish for the transceiver? I think it was the dish. I wondered the same thing since normally radar has a round deal with a beam that goes around 360 degrees to see as you said. I just assumed it was somewhere in the bow of the boat that we couldn't see.
I did find it funny that Walt hit a log out in open ocean with nothing else on the water in sight. And it appeared that even the tallest adult didn't have a clear view out in front of them it seemed to be blocked by the sail and their center console?
To the other radar comment again I just can't believe any plane that ever had radar would have one with such limited range, at the speeds planes travel miles are really insignifcant. It's bugging me enough I emailed my dad to ask about it. He had a pilot's license 20+ years ago and is pretty up to date on things like radar so he'll let me know if I'm way off base or not about the whole radar deal.

A plane wouldn't have one with that limited of a range. However the way they filmed it showed the boat practically leaving the radar screen and then turning around and finding them in very short time. I'm just saying the entire radar thing is bogus hollywood stuff.

Yeah that was my point sort of, they got it off a plane so unless the height of the dish/antenna correlates to range, (and it may well) there's no way it would be so limited, and then it should have shown the island.
Mainly I was wondering if it was a mistake, or if the island just doesn't show on radar and that's why it's undiscovered.
As Mike said I'm just overthinking the whole thing, but it just bugged me. I'll see what my dad has to say about it, he's my science expert if anybody would know the radar scoop it's him.

It wasn't a pirate ship (I commented on it before seeing the whole thing on TIVO was flipping back and forth between Lost and the Dbacks game). However in saying that it doesn't mean pirates weren't involved ... pirates do 2 things murder and steal usually in that order so its not out of the realm of possibility that the pirates just stole the ship. It was probably just a simple mining ship though
eh Who knows? Whenever I think I got something figured out, this show pulls me in another direction. I love it
