Keamy's mechanical appliances - Page 3

Ha Ha it looks just like the Korg metronome/tuner! I Like the comparison QueenBeeSteph! The picture really shows what inventive stuff the props guys can come up with.

Oh - I didn't make that picture - I just found it! Is that what that is on his arm? A metronome? Oh my gosh! I guess they have to keep time while they are marching through the jungle! click...click...click...click...click... (nightmares of practicing piano are coming back - aaahhhhh!)

Trumpet here, I know what your sayin'.

So it appears that the prop masters just "made" a secretive scary device out of something that they thought we probably wouldn't recognize. Dang! I wish we knew what that thing is!!!

So when I saw the thing that Frank dropped to Jack & Co. with the blip, I assumed (a dangerous thing when watching Lost!) it must have been the thing that sends the tracking signal.

~OR~
i-pod from the future.............

I think that it is definitely a tracking device. It is a low tech tracker that can be picked up anywhere. If you think about everything up to this point, we know that the island can be moved and to move it will take a lot of energy. So that would disrupt or damage most if not all technology on the island. So the Sat Phones would not work. But if there is some other device that works just as well without the need for much energy.

To answer the question why not just leave those tracers on the island hidden somewhere, we do not know if they did leave them already. Also, Keamy is on his way to the Orchard station/ Temple. If Ben was to try and escape and he was able to grab him and travel through time with him, there must also be some device that allows him to contact Widmore.

The Sat Phone Frank dropped shows where the helicopter is going. The blip is the other Sat phone on the helicopter. Remember one of the soldiers had one that told him that Jack & Co. found the doctor dead. Also, when they first four arrived, Faraday explain the phones also serve as a gps allowing them to know the location of the other phones on the island. I think Frank wants to get them off the island before they get hurt. If he takes enough people over, they can grab weapons and take over the ship.

In this thread it says that the device is similar to a metronome. Those are suppose to keep perfect time right? What if the device stops the time travel because it keeps the time-space continuance in check. That would mean Ben or anyone else can not time travel unless the device is off the island.

What stood out to me in this scene is the fact that the Captian would not fire at Keamy with the device on.. The way Keamy saysn I don't think you want to do that Captian.. and puts his arms up so he sees the device.. The Captian might not know what exactly it is but he also didn't risk it by shooting him..

Could the Captian maybe have some clue what Keamy has on the freighter? Could that have been why he didn't fire?

KEAMY: That change anything, Frank? Huh? Another 30 seconds goes by and someone else's turn--
(gunshot)
GAULT: I fixed your gun. Now stand down, Martin, or I will fire.
KEAMY: I don't think you want do that, Captain.
GAULT: What's that on his arm? What's that on his arm?
(Grunts)
(KEAMY shoots GAULT)

Well, that device could send a signal to a satellite above the earth and that satellite could probally triangulate keemys position and send a missle or something to blow the entire island up.

Like the little rocket that delivered Daniel's payload (the little clock experiment)? Interesting!

(Ooh! My first post!)

Yeah, I was wondering that too... and I bet you're right that it's a detonator connected to his vitals. Don't quote me, but it reminds me of something from Alias. Of course, both being J. J. Abrams' creations, there are a lot of similarities. All I know is that I can't wait to find out. (This site is so awesome! Thanks to everyone who posts on it!)

Keamy was definitely threatening Gault with the device. Like 'ha ha you can't shoot me, look what I have' I think it is a weapon of some kind not a tracking device or communication device. My first thought about Frank dropping the gps/sat phone was that he wanted the Losties to use it to hide from Keamy and co. Not to use it to follow them, use it to evade them. But maybe not, maybe he does want them to find them. Sawyer knows that those guys are bad news so maybe Jack and him can round up a posse and go ambush Keamy's team.
