I really hope we hear and or see sometime in a future episode just how this island complex was built.
If getting to and from the island is such a problem (ie. Minkowski, the helicopter) then how did construction equipment, steel and concrete, brand new washer and dryer get there? The “box”? Of course if say a massive freighter carrying that cargo stayed on the 305 (or is it 325) course setting they could possibly do that. But why doesn’t this freighter? Why send this helicopter that apparently when it goes to and from the island, it takes off in daylight - finds a thunderstorm to fly through - then sets down 20 minutes later that afternoon?
I know this is just a crazy rant. But if we are supposed to belive in the valenzetti equation and the casimer effect quantum time shfit mechanics caused the islands crazy wackiness, then lets see how they dug up, tunneled out and buried all of these researche stations that are connected to each other. I mean Dharma are just researchers right? How many contracters did it take to build that reaseach station?
HA!! Good point. I think the freighter doesnt go to the island because “someone” sabotaged the engines, though. Still, you make a good point. Somebody had to build all that stuff and something tells me it wasnt the puny scientists of the DI and something tells me that it took several trips there to get it done. Good point. +1
Lat: I would certainly like to know as well, but doubt the writers will go too much in depth to cover it. They may do so briefly though.
lol. Seriously doubt you will get your explanation.
It’s a bit like in the Bond movies - how do the villains create huge complexes in hollowed out volcanoes without anybody finding out?
We just have to suspend our disbelief! +1 for pointing it out though.
I’ve personally have always wondered about the Dharma supply drop? Is Dharma running a huge pallete of supplies out to an island in the middle of nowhere on a schedule no questions asked? Dharma has to drop more than 1 because the Others have supplies as well. If there is Dharma not on the island do they not want updates on the research or what is going on?
Maybe the 300+ people on the fake plane were the original contractors that built the infrastructure of the island. They said it would only take 4 months. Instead it came in at 8 years and 3.2 million over budget, so they were dispatched with. (Note sarcasm)
……Hehe
I would love to see the lost producers convince The Discovery Channel to make a “Frontiers of Construction” episode where they explain how the fictional Island was built using the newest technology (from the seventies).
Although its something to wonder about, I wouldint worry, for it will never be revealed.
I just had a thought of seing the Dharma Workers swearing a storm as they are moving the washer and driers down the hatch..hahahaha.. (seing their nasty subtropical ass cracks as they bend down) That would be an excellent Reality Show…. “The Dharma Handy Men” sry I just find it ammusing.
Im a finely aged geek and would love to find out how the Island was made, in fact …I would love the stories to include the early occurences as well, like the begining of the Dharma Initiative with Alvar Hanso, and so forth. There are so many answears to be sought thats its mind boggling. I guess we have to leave it up to the story tellers to reveal them.
+1 = )
How everything got to the island:
And the captain of the flying saucer:
Now you don’t have to watch no more.
Maybe things were a bit more stable before the “incident” and getting to and from the island wasn’t quite so bad.
Wherearewe- I agree with you. Plus didn’t the candle guy in the dharma video, describe the whole electro-magnetic thing in the hatch as the incident. suggesting that before they fked it up, the island was probably stable.
Also dharma was a wacky group of hippy-type scientists, so they probably weren’t trying to keep the island a secret and didn’t have any probs with bringing in builders.
