It's an Episode of Lost, and like all Episodes. Not all the information has been gathered. So why is this up for deletion? augrunt 06:29, 24 March 2007 (UTC) (Keep)

This article clearly needs some revision. Comments like "wow, is this a threat.." should not be in a WP article, even if it is "just" a plot summary. Also the punctuation could need some improvement, usually there is a whitespace between sentences. ;)

Wait if you looke at the screens in the FLame it talks about the missing plane so people back in the US know they are missing.--70.189.175.84 01:48, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Which didn't make sense. Unless it took HOURS for Ben and Juliet to get to Mikhail's. The pilot (in the Pilot) said they lost their radio and turned back to Fiji...going down on The Island less than an hour or two later. If so, at the time Ben and Juliet saw 815 crash and went to The Flame, only an hour or two AT MOST would have passed. The Australians nor Americans would have likely reported a flight delayed by an hour to the media and the media get the story on the air in such a short time.

Also, not sure what technical resources Mikhail has at his disposal, but it seemed pretty quick for him to be "already working on" getting Ben "detailed files on every passenger", since the passenger manifest would require him hacking the Oceanic Airlines mainframe AND Australian Customs, downloading a list of passengers, and then trying to match up every "James Ford" who was an American and whose passport was abroad in Australia(IF "Sawyer" even travelled under his own name...the manifest reflecting what the passenger had on their passport or ID).24.176.65.22 13:14, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Please sign your comments. I don't really get the point of your comment. Are you trying to say that the episode wasn't very realistic? If so, well I would say this is a minor issue. It's a TV show! What can you expect? Ok, scrap that. I would say the Others got the info quickly because, well, they're the Others. They have their ways. It shows they are smart people. You know, that kind of thing. — hippi ippi₊₊⁺⁺ 08:46, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Look, I realize SOME "suspension of disbelief" is necessary (such as a huge island that is 'invisible'...even from GoogleEarth...hehe). But it (the scene in this episode with Ben, Juliet, and Mikhail) seemed like an after-thought to the original "Tale of Two Cities" episode where we saw The Others seeing the 815 crash. Similarly I think making Goodwin Juliet's lover was an after-thought as well, since there was no indication of it in "TOTC"24.176.65.22 13:17, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Hmmmm... Who knows? It could be twist that the producers put in to surprise the audience. But if we're here to discuss the purpose of the scene like we are now, well, it's inappropriate discussion. This page isn't a forum. — hippi ippi₊₊⁺⁺ 14:36, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

well i was under the impression that we didnt know if people back in the mainlands knew they were missing.--70.189.175.84 01:48, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

You do remeber that the Pilot said theyve had NO radio contact and they were flying in the wrong direction for a few hours? Thats why there would be stuff on the media!!! And mabey those complaning about the article should modify it?R0ck1t 17:56, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I tried adding to the trivia section last week after the show. Herarat Airlines, where Juliet drank the orange juice (the company name appears on the wall behind them), is an anagram for Earhart, as in Amelia Earhart, who might have crashed on a small island not far from Fiji, just like Oceanic 815 (nudgenudgewinkwink). But the next day, POOF, my little bit of trivia is gone. Plus I would never have put it in the plot summary as they're asking now. It would just add to their already too long gripe about the summary.

What is actually wrong in the article? It sounds okay to me. — hippi ippi₊₊⁺⁺ 03:28, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
