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?

And we're not saying the transporter was for the sub itself...we're saying the sub is only short-range, and the people got to the Looking Glass via a freaky teleport doorway, and the sub just took them from there to the dock. (at least, that's what I'm saying) The people think they rode the sub the whole time, but actually didn't. (they were unconscious the whole time, like Juliet) We never saw the sub moving...just them on the dock walking away from the sub.

Although that location would be "along the space/time continuim" I can't see that being realistic, show wise. If people got to the island by the sub, why never show it moving? Why "good vibrations" as the acess code to the Glass. It may e all one big diversion by the producers, but I am highly doubting it.
