So then how do people get to the island, when they think they are coming on the sub? How about this: there is a doorway, like a teleport doorway, somewhere on the Looking Glass station, that allows instantaneous travel between the station and somewhere near Portland, Oregon. The tell you that you need to be knocked out for the trip, like when Richard told Juliet, but that is just to cover up the fact that they have a teleportation doorway. (or maybe you have to be knocked out for the teleport trip - maybe you'd hurl your guts out if you were awake for it) Whatever the reason, you are unconscious, they take you "Through the Looking Glass" to the Looking Glass station (so that's where the name comes from) and then put you on the sub and take you to the dock where you wake up, thinking you traveled on the sub the whole time.
How about that?  |
someone posted this idea in last episode's thread and I thought it was pretty solid. I just wish desmond would have got to explore more down there and see some kind of strange teleportation machinery (not that i'd have any idea what this would look like) Now that I think about it
oregon to wherever the island is (south pacific) is not such a long trip for a sub. I think the reason they put you out is 1. so you would never know exactly where you were when you got to the island and 2. the final approach to the island which seems to have some force feild around it, ethan did say it "gets a little intense at the end of the trip" or something like that. so I guess what i'm saying is they really don't need a teleportation system.
