The pilot, the doctor & everything else

So we see the pilot wrapping up the radio right, but when Jack pulls it out of the backpack it's not wrapped up, so could that passover of the chopper taken place before the encounter with smokey? The doctor get his throat slash now and dump overboard Sayid on his way to island right about the same time but the body reaches the island before Sayid does. There has to be some kind of timeline event thing between the island and the freighter. Maybe that's how they'll get the island moved before the second coming of the chopper.

i think when locke says to "move the island" i think he means they have to start up the jamming signal again, so the chopper can't find it.

Given the special properties of the island I don't think it's unreasonable to think they do move it somehow. Besides, Widmore already located it but it's somehow unfindable in the future.

As for the inconsistency between the bodies arrival and Sayid's arrival to the island (which has yet to take place)...I think it will have to do with a difference in the bearing they follow. Sayid is following a bearing of 305 which according to my theory would minimize the freighter/island time difference. The dead floating body would be following who knows what bearing. Whatever bearing it followed must have caused it to arrive at a different time...days before in fact. This definitely goes to support my theory that the bearing is not as important to where you arrive as WHEN you arrive.

I like that theory sombra130

i'm not sure if you are trying to say this, but there is another possibility, that they can put the island in another time before widmore knew where it was.

The dead body would not have been able to maintain the 3.05 bearing (or whatever it was). Perhaps that's why there was the weird feeling of backwards time: freighter doc's dead body is found before his throat is cut. Just a guess.

Here's what I want to know! WHERE"S SAYID??? If he left before the Doctor was killed and we've seen the Doctor wash up on shore... shouldn't Sayid be on the island?

^^ yes i am worried about sayid too!

I agree with sombra1230.
But the whole situation makes me worry about Desmond rather. When Keamy gets to hear that one of the two guys is gone, I doubt he or his men will be nice towards the one left behind. Desmond might turn into some handy bate or bargain piece in the future.
