Who is on the freighter? Posted by DarkUFO at 3/08/2008 11:38:00 am View Comments Labels: Abaddon, Charlotte, Daniel Faraday, Frank, Miles, Minkowski, Regina, The Constant, The Other Woman

Thanks to GregDean for the text.

We know now that George Minkowski, the man Jack talked to, was the communications officer of the Kahana, a freighter commissioned by Charles Widmore (Ben tells us that in "The Other Woman"), including a team of five that was recruited by Matthew Abaddon.

As for who was specifically on the Freighter when Jack called, the crew/passengers include: Frank Lapidus, Daniel Faraday, Charlotte Lewis, Miles Straume, Keamy, Omar, Ray (The Doctor), Regina, George Minkowski, The Captain, at least three redshirt crewmen and "Ben's Man" on the boat, who may or may not be one of the previously mentioned people.

Why did the boat answer the emergency phone line but not the regular line? Posted by DarkUFO at 3/01/2008 10:55:00 am View Comments Labels: The Constant

As we found out in The Constant, the normal line had been sabotaged.

What is 'the sickness'? Posted by DarkUFO at 2/29/2008 06:05:00 am View Comments Labels: Minkowski, The Constant, The Island

As we found out in The Constant the sickness relates to the side-effects of the Island and shifting consciousness between timelines as was demonstrated by Minkowski dying.

Why does Daniel warn Frank to take the exact same bearing out as they used when they arrived on the Island? Posted by DarkUFO at 2/29/2008 05:57:00 am View Comments Labels: Daniel Faraday, Frank, The Constant, The Island

As we found out in The Constant if you deviate off the bearing you will have "side-effects".

What happened to Minkowski? Posted by DarkUFO at 2/29/2008 05:55:00 am View Comments Labels: Minkowski, The Constant

As we found out in The Constant Minkowski was suffering the same time effects as Desmond.

Why is Desmond able to predict future events? Posted by DarkUFO at 2/29/2008 05:50:00 am View Comments Labels: Daniel Faraday, Desmond, Minkowski, The Constant, The Island, The Swan

Thanks to GregDean for the text.

As explained in "The Constant", there is a phenomenon that happens to people who come near the Island who have been exposed to high levels of radiation or electromagnetism. In Desmond's case, it was electromagnetism from the Swan station imploding. For Minkowski, it was radiation from his communication station. For Daniel Faraday, it was from doing all those experiments on Eloise without wearing his protective gear over his head.

Where are Frank, Desmond, and Sayid? Posted by DarkUFO at 2/29/2008 05:47:00 am View Comments Labels: Daniel Faraday, Desmond, Frank, Sayid, The Constant

Thanks to GregDean for the text.

In "The Constant", we discover that time appeared to flow slower for the helicopter on route to the Freighter than it did for the Island or the Freighter. Sayid makes a comment about how they took off at dawn, and arrived in the afternoon. Faradays notes to Jack that the helicopter wasn't really gone as long as he thought it had. To *Jack* it seemed like a day, but to the helicopter, it was just a short flight.

What is the 'IT' that the Ice Station men have found? Posted by DarkUFO at 2/29/2008 05:45:00 am View Comments Labels: Desmond, Penny, The Constant, The Island

Thanks to GregDean for the text.

In "The Constant", Penny tells Desmond that she knows about the Island, and has been looking for him for three years. So, the "IT" is confirmed to be the Island.

How does Naomi know that Penny is searching for Desmond? Posted by DarkUFO at 2/29/2008 05:42:00 am View Comments Labels: Desmond, Minkowski, Naomi, Penny, The Constant

Thanks to GregDean for the text.

As revealed by George Minkowski in "The Constant", Naomi's freighter was receiving regular calls from Naomi, looking for Desmond (Minkowski knew Desmond's name from Penny's calls).
