Correction to Oceanic 5

OK - K and I got talking at work and she made a good point. Would Ben really be one of the Oceanic 6? He wasn't on the plane and isn't a survivor of the crash, so why would he be celebrated as one of the Oceanic 6. So, my thanks to K for keeping me real and on the up and up.

With that in mind, a few interesting oddities from someone who obviously has more time on his/her hands than myself....:)

Charlotte Lewis - Charlotte is an anthropologist hired to work on Naomi's team. Full name Charlotte Staples Lewis hmmm … C.S. Lewis?

Miles Straume – “Straume" is the name of a city in Norway, and a Norwegian word meaning "penalty" or "punishment".

Daniel Faraday is a physicist who was hired to work for Naomi's team for unknown reasons.
Faraday invented the Faraday cage, a cage that prevents electro-magnetic radiation
from permeating it.

The SI unit of electrical capacitance, the farad, is named for Faraday. The face of Michael Faraday is visible on the Bank of England Series E £20 note that can be seen in the secret room at Ben's home in the Barracks. ("The Economist") Faraday worked on a theory that combined the interchangeability of electricity and magnetism, with the interchangeability of gravity. He was not successful.

So, maybe Faraday is Ben's spy? Tomorrow's episode could prove pretty interesting. Unfortunately, I think that puts us at episode 4, half way through the 8 episodes that NBC has indicated will be provided this season.

So it took me a moment to figure out who you were but I've got it now.

I think Sawyer is one of the O-6. Remember the final episode of last season, Jack was crazed and called Kate.... wasn't she with Sawyer?

I agree that the last few episodes have been great! I never EVER would have guessed time shifting. It does explain a lot (and allows them to bring back Walt) even though it's only been "4 months."

I love Faraday (or however you spell his name) he's wonderfully kooky. Jeremy Davies rocks - he was THE BEST part of the movie Solaris. In fact, the only good part. Clooney is pretty but even he couldn't make Solaris worth watching.
