LOST In Questions Episode 4

Other questions I have about LOST.

Why doesn't any of the characters learn any Korean and why does the Korean couple not learn any English? I think learning to say hello is at least something that they would be through in a day or two.

What was Kate's crime? Is she really guilty?

The sixteen year old recording was on the tail section? Or am I hallucinating that Jack found both in the same spot? If the recording was going on sixteen years, why have they been there only seven days?

What is the deal with all those dolls at the water hole?

Why does Jack's torch drip flames? If the torch was dipped in a flamible liquid where did he get that?

Is the reason Jack can't find his father's body is that Jack is dead, so both are now in eternity? If they are in eternity, where are the dead people on the plane?

Why would you burn the bodies in the fusalage? I would take them out, burn them some where else, and use the fusalage as raw materials for building shelter or use it as shelter.

Where is the washer and dryer? All those clothes look too good.

Terry, here's my take on a few of the questions.

The Korean couple is being driven by the husband to isolate themselves from the rest - this is why they aren't learning English. I did read a plot spoiler though that will bring a bit of clarity to this.

Since Kate's little episode is nod to The Fugitive, per the producers, I'm betting she's really not guilty.

The sixteen year old recording wasn't in the tail section - it has come from some other place on the island which the current castaways haven't been able to find.

Don't know about the dolls at the water hole though the TV Guide article says that every prop has a purpose - it'll come back into play sometime.

I'm guessing that the dripping flames is caused by a production mistake.

As to them being dead and in eternity, what I read in the TV Guide article and what Jared from Mysterium Tremendum speculated on is that they are in purgatory and their version of purgatory could be a very imaginative place.

They had a reason for burning the bodies in the fuselage that I can't remember. Your point is good. I know they scavenged through the fuselage before they burned the bodies so maybe that is the answer. Would the bodies have started to decompose after 2 or 3 days? Maybe they didn't want to touch the bodies.

I'm not ready to make an issue of the clean clothes yet since they've only been on the island seven days - they could have packed for a long trip. But this will be something to consider in the next few days.

A lion, a rooster, a billy-goat and Tommy Franks go to a bar...

Image
Three things are stately in their tread; four are stately in their stride: the lion, which is mightiest among beasts and does not turn back before any; the strutting rooster, the he-goat, and a king whose army is with him. ---Proverbs 30:29-31 (ESV) Different creatures in nature have different glories. A rooster is a glorious thing to see. He is proud of his feathers and his position. A lion knows he is a beast to be feared. A rooster would be no challenge for a lion though. A he-goat is no challenge for a lion, though he also is proud of his position and strength. When we think of a lion we think of an animal dangerous and to be feared. But in a sense, a general (king) with his troops who are equipped for battle find no match in a lion. This is especially true if we are talking about a modern general with attack helicopters, snipers, artillery, tanks and well trained troops. We all have our own gifting and glory. The glory may be small or large. One may be a

Celtic Words In English

I once heard a lecturer say that English was made up at its heart three languages; Anglo-Saxon (A Germanic tongue), French (influence from William the Conquerer A.D. 1066), and Latin (from the church and scholars). She also mentioned that Celtic had been the language of England before the influence of the Anglo-Saxons and some “tie together words” had been brought into English. I assumed she meant words which tie sentences together, or nouns. But I was not sure which words she meant in particular. So I did a little research to find out what those relics in our language are. It seems that Celtic has few words surviving in English. I'm not counting the Celtic words which came in through other languages such as French. I'm not sure that there is a definitive list of Celtic words in English but here are a few I found in various places on the Internet and a book I have. ass (borrowed earlier by the Celts from the Latin asinus) bannock bard blarney bucket car cart clock coll

Was the New Testament Letters Only Written to Male Brothers?

  Question:   Was the Bible written to men only and not to women?   Some teach that the New Testament letters address brothers exclusively.      Executive Summary Answer:   Women and men share in the blessings of the gospel, Scripture was written for both women and men. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Gen. 1:27 ESV) Answer:   The Bible recognizes differences between genders but also recognizes the commonality between male and female genders.   The book of Proverbs is written to sons to gain wisdom.   “Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching, for they are a graceful garland for your head and pendants for your neck.”   (Prov. 1:8-9 ESV) The book of Proverbs was written in order to teach young men wisdom.   Even so, often it is the female gender that teaches wisdom.   Early in the book, the male gender, a son, is to embrace the teaching from a member of the
