LOST: (imploded) but not forgotten...

No more spooky UV map. Except what Locke manages to scribble from memory... Stupid imploded hatch! Bleah.

And, hey! What Desmond knows/remembers. Snowman, and (granted, invisibble) painting onlooker, and all... The Pearl *was* a surprise to him, but according to the map, it would have been, right?

We also lost those murals in the corridor! Although no survivors ever really gave them too much consideration on the show. Still, they looked kind of CANDYMAN spooky to me. Did Desmond paint those? Kelvin? Razinksy or whatever-his-name-was who splattered himself on the Hatch ceiling? Will Locke ever bring up the UV map in convo with Desmond?

Frickin frackin sazzafrazzin TV show... GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

*sigh*

I realized something after posting my last LOST entry. The Others do the costumed-as-savages thing for the benefit of the Dharma Hatchlings. Could be costumes, for their assigned act, or disguises, to cover their island activities and engender underestimation of their resources and threat level. Kelvin referred to them as something snarky, like "the natives," when he discouraged Desmond from exploring outside the hatch on his own. Other civilized Dharma Hatch tenders would think of them in the same way—wacky natives. I don't think any of the orientation films or vids have referred to island denizens, so maybe Dharma has them active on the Island as part of whatever simulation/psych experiment they're running on the Hatchlings (was there any reference to them in the excerpts from the pile of notebooks?), OR, perhaps Dharma doesn't know about them at all, which would mean that the Others are a group APART from Dharma that periodically need to mess around on the island, but appear to be "natives," stranded castaways without access to tech or sophisticated tools and materials...

Black Cloud. Dharma guard dog? Dharma guard dog gone rabid? Dharma experiment? Dharma experiment gone haywire/escaped subject? A god? A god complex? Does it care about Good and Bad and guilt and repentance...?

Thanks (for nothing!) to enabler Kirsten for the map to the map! =)

Keep on keepin on~
