Good question, dood. I guess it would depend on weather or not it was treated medically or if the Island’s healing powers helped out. It looks to me like the skin healed over the socked completely - does this mean that theres a big pocket of nothing where the eye used to be? Does that even work? Optometrists? Anyone?

Socket, even. Dammit…

Oh.. and determining the passage of time on the Island based on wounds wouldn’t work because of the advanced (un-predictable) healing factor.

Hex yeah dood fair enough, I just can’t help thinking these two events are trying to lead us somewhere.

i’m not sure that the authors went so far into the details for showing us this, but who knows!

Mikhail seems like he’s there forever. Seems to know everything, speaks many languages, revives multiple times … He also doesn’t seem to integrate with the rest of the others . He only hangs around with the weirdest of the group, which is Ben & Klugh…. we could call him “The Rousseau of the others” :)

Hexagon: check my theory about electricity, I would love to hear your opinion.

thanks for the nod, but it’s frogo not frodo/ i’m no one’s damn hobbitt

lol frogo.. but Frodo is nicer. Frogo sounds like … a frog? :)

LOL sorry frogo my mistake, Have you seen a weird ring with writing on the outside ???? i swear that ugly looking dood took it !!!!!!!!

maybe if we kiss him he’ll turn into Kate!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the big question for me here is why put his eye in the arrow with a hollowed out bible with missing film stuck inside - did the owner of the glass eye remove the swan orientation tape - if so, is mikhail actually radinski???

on and a +1 from me for a good thread

Dharmaspy: Mikhail is actually Radzinski… I was excited to read that… but just for like 10 seconds, because …

Kelvin Inman said he buried Radzinski. I don’t see why he would lie about something like that…

Also, Mikhail=Raszinski has been debunked.

For you xiv - http://www.cbc.ca/cp/science/070911/g091113A.html

I really liked your electricity theory and I think this article is very relevant. Read all the way to the bottom.

when was mikhail=radinski debunked??

From Lostpedia:

“Production notes According to the March 20th, 2007 episode of the official Lost podcast, Mikhail’s entire story was true except for the part about being in the DHARMA Initiative. An early on-set name to describe the character, Patchy, was referenced by script coordinator Gregg Nations on the Fuselage forum. Nations also confirmed that Mikhail is not Radzinsky and that Radzinsky is in fact dead.” During Comic Con 2007, Damon Lindelof listed some of the Others that died, and he included Mikhail in the list.

Thanks Hexagon! No holes to be found? :)

Hexagon: so Mikhail is dead for real now? he used all his 7 lives? or do you mean that Radzinski was in the list?

i have to say, i though that was how that was going to play out

Well….I’m not sure! That was a direct quote fro Lostpedia! Raszinski is dead for sure but I think that they meant that Mikhail is actually for real dead now too.

Hex: I’m sure they said Mikail is dead now too.

sleepz: That pic does show his eye with skin grown over it. So why the glass eye? And I think that’s the first time we’ve seen him without his eye patch.

And if the glass eye belonged to Mikail, he must have left it there a very long time ago. Why would he leave it there? The Arrow had been abandoned for a long time, so that makes sense.

But there has to be a reason, if it is Mikail’s, why he wouldn’t go back to get it.

btw, where is everybody this morning??

Seriously…hello?..hello..hello…hello (echo)

Sorry +1 for a very good question!

If Sham should check in here, I’ve posted a reply to him on kostisb’s post. Title is something like Locke is in the coffin.

Mornin Kat :-)

I’ll brew some coffee..that’ll get him up.

Seriously, Hex. Have they been bilocated?

mmmmm I can smell the coffee….

Too bad I’m at the end of my shift and can’t enjoy a cup lest I stay up for another twelve hours twitching and grinding my teeth….okay….one little sip! ; )

SNIFF SNIFF

Is that fresh brewed Canadian coffee I smell? :)

Morning peeps. I replied to your reply Annie.

Ahhh, thanks Hex…

sip

Yup…rich with Bailey’s Irish Cream… mmmm….

Andy Staunton

Sham: Yes, I saw the previews for next week’s show about the things he is willing to eat! And I’m going to DVR it so I can FF through those parts.

I have a Dell, would that update would on mine too?

An R rating wouldn’t bother me. And I think Brad Pitt has the qualities and acting ability to pull it off.

RE: The eye.

I’m not a doctor, but I know to people who have lost eyes. The first was an old man that my friend and I used to swap fishing stories with as kids and the second is a cousin.

The old man didn’t use a glass or a patch and he looked just like Mikhail except (since he was actually missing an eye) it was more sunken in.

Occasionally, when the old man raised his eyebrows or rubbed the area, the lid would crack open just a little bit and the only thing we could see behind it was moist, pinkish flesh. I assume the tear ducts were still working. Anyway, it freaked us out. :)

My guess is that just like any amputation the body heals (even without island juju) and scars over, otherwise there would always be a risk of infection like a diabetic whose injuries don’t heal.

I don’t think he or my cousin were on antibiotics for their eyes so I’m basing my guess on that.

Shamballa: you know people who lost eyes, annie knows people that work in casket companies… what a crowd! :)

Mmm… Bailey’s… That stuff is sinfully good.

Annie, I was in the process of posting a reply on how you can check your version (I’m sure you have some version) of Flash and my computer locked up. LOL! did you jinx me? :)

LOL, xiv! I think Hex is fairly normal if that’s any comfort.

But to answer your question Annie; the make of your computer really doesn’t matter. It’s your operating system. So if you’re running Win XP than the answer is “yes it will work”.

If your computer is a brand new Dell with XP then you are probably updated and if you click on a vid that uses Flash it will tell you if you aren’t.

sham…you cut me deep, brother…

katrina: that’s great! so you can ask her about Mikhail!

LOL

I mean, I mean…

Our six-sided friend is “normal” when it comes to his line of work. Why the fine fellow even plays in a band.

But, upstairs, he is just as nuts as the rest of here.

Is that better brother Hex? ;)

LOL! Thank you…normal just sounds so…ugh…normal. ; )

Sham: Sorry I jinxed you! I do have Windows XP. So I should be ok. Thanks :-)

xiv: Well, it’s been said we are a diverse crowd, I don’t think that’s exactly what they meant though!!

BRB - I fell asleep thinking about what the “Temple” may be and may make a post for discussion.

I need to do a quick search here and read what’s on Lostpedia.

What is “Normal” anyway?? No one is normal.

Life would really be boring if we were all normal.

I’ve taken out lots of eyes. You remove the eye, cut along the eyelids so as to make a fresh edge (remove about 5mm) and sew the eyelids shut. You have to make sure you remove the tearducts, etc or you will have problems. At first the eye socket fills will blood and it looks like there is still an eye underneath the sewn eyelids. Then the body abosorbs that blood clot and before long you just have skin over a sunken eye socket. Takes about a month or 2.

Probably one of the more easier surgeries to perform with very low complication rate.

ok ok so the verdict is that the eye would have healed quite naturally over that period of time and its doesn’t mean the he’s been there for ages then!!!! damn me and my over wandering mind.

Jesus shell your a dark dark horse. you like cut things open and stuff……………………..personal note : - keep Locke’s suitcase the hell away form shell

Guys, I’m alleviating pain and suffering! You might want someone like me if your stranded on an island……

I just happen to have a strong stomach. Most of the eyes I’ve taken out are from horses or cows. A few dogs and cats. Actually, the horses look kinda cool with a sunken eye socket appearance.

um, Shell, that’s kinda cool and very scary. My official story is you rock, b/c I like both of my eyes

shell: why you need to take eyes out of animals anyway? you look like a charming person, but it’s scary stuff :)

xiv- eyes can become very painful for in a variety of disease states which cannot be controlled medically. A painful eye can be excruiating (have any of you guys had cockelburs lodged in your eye?) and can become refractory to medical therapy….SO, we remove the eye, we remove the pain and the animal does great. Sometimes the medical therapy will be too expensive for the owner but the surgery is not as expensive, so they chose to have the eye removed. Some can’t afford either and the animal is euthanized to stop the pain. Reality stinks sometimes

Geez, shell… Hard job, yours.

So… we can conclude that if Mikhail left his eye in the Arrow at some time in the past greater than one year, his socket might look the way we see it in TLG.

Folks… what if Radzinsky had a run-in with Mikhail (one of the Hostiles) resulting in Radzinsky knocking his eye out. Perhaps Radzinsky took the eye as a trophy and this is what he originally used the hallowed-out Bible for (hiding treasures).

This still leaves the question of how the Bible got all the way over to the Arrow. But maybe the Arrow isn’t that far from the Swan if you travel direct (rather than close to the shore as the people from the tail section did).

Our travel through an underground tunnel eh Prof? :D

Perhaps so, sham… perhaps so… :-)

“OR” not “OUR” even.

Would Radzinsky knowing about the tunnels and kicking Mikhail’s butt qualify as an “incident” thus causing the Others to block the them?

Maybe releasing Cerberus was released in the process…

By the way. I added a link to my “Spot the Newbies” post.

FRICK!

I can’t type or think today.

Just call me Shamtech.

“I looked into what was the eye of Patchy, and it was fugly!” (TM)

Kit-kat, do they use that a term on Scrubs?

Cool, I don’t watch SCRUBS much. I like it but I like it here better. :)

Kat, you can use that phrase anytime you want, along with ones like…

• My six-sided friend.

• Flag it and tag it.

• Tin-foil hat

And others I invented but may have forgotten. Ladies may infringe for free. ;)

My fave (and I’ll TM this for ya brotha) is from Hex. It had me laughing so hard. I think it was our first CF but I couldn’t find it.

It was when he posted his Halloween pick of himself as Locke.

He made a comment like, “I looked into the eye of the Scotch…” (TM)

Then said he’d lost his train of thought. :)

I’m just glad somebody tried to figure out how Mikhail lost his eye.

FRICK!

Stip’s eye falls onto the floor and rolls away

shamtech nudges stip in the behind just enough with the tip of his toe to throw off stip’s balance as he’s bending over to pick it up then walks away whistling.

Hehehehe… thanks Sham! Finally! Some real recognition as a writer!
