I'm not sure off-hand with Libby, but I'm guessing there may have been a similar circumstance.

In the event any of those broadcasts were ever intercepted, it covers up their tracks by having already indicated those people had survived the crash but died afterwards.

That's the best guess I've heard about it. I've tried to come up with a "Lost-like" reason for those 3 to be mentioned. I figured there had to be some reason (this is Lost after all), but couldn't come up with anything good. I like this explanation.

Does anyone remember who (if any) Tailies were on the other end of the 2-way radio with Boone? Did anyone talk at all? For some reason I seem to think it was Bernard but I wonder if it was Libby? I'm guessing the Tail Section POV from this was early in S2 (though Boone/Locke's POV was late in S1 if I remember correctly).

EDIT: nevermind, I verified that it was Bernard. Can't think of anything else for Libby, other than it could tie into the fact that she's the only character who's last name we never learned.

Libby was Hurley's Love intrest and maybe he was hoping of learning more about her by her name being used in the press confrence.. Also she is one who Jack tried to save and could not.. He used the herione to make her comfortable which it a conflict of his morals and ethics.. It also could be that they watched her dying and suffering, so she stuck out in their minds.. Some idea's.

You know, I'm trying to think of other things these three people had in common. I feel certain Charlie was never involved with Widmore in any way; it seems we know a lot about him. But we know a lot less about Boone and very little about Libby; except for the weird fact that she was in the Santa Rosa Mental Hospital. I guess what I'm getting at is this: could Penny have revealed something to the Oceanic 6 while they were on her boat? It's only after spending time with her that they've come up with this story. Maybe she new something about Boone and Libby not yet revealed to us.

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that the Oceanic 6 have something up their sleeve concerning these three people (or at least one of them). I think they want Widmore to believe they have some knowledge that they really don't, possibly something Libby told them. I believe Libby was working for Widmore before the crash, and was planted in the Santa Rosa mental health hospital to watch Hurley.

Interesting, I have heard people say Libby is suspicious. They pointed out how she started liking Hurley way too fast. What ulterior motive she had? I am not sure.

I think there is going to be quite a bit of light shed on Libby, lets not forget that if it wasnt for Libby, Desmond would have never got to the Island. Libby gave Desmond her dead lovers boat.

Correction: It is her husband David, not her lover.

Also, has anyone ever thought (and this is a long-shot) that maybe the Oceanic 6 remembered the letter, that they had written and Claire put on that birds leg? Maybe they knew if that letter was ever found, that people would know they were lying if they didnt tell them someone had been killed on the Island. I mean listen;

"To whom it may concern, we are survivors of Oceanic Flight 815. We have survived on this island for 80 days. We were 6 hours into the flight when the pilot said we were off course and turned back towards Fiji. We hit turbulence and crashed. We’ve been waiting here, all this time, waiting for rescue that has not come. We do not know where we are, we only know you have not found us. We’ve done our best to live on this island. Some of us have come to accept that we may never leave it. Not all of us have survived since the crash, but there is new life too, and with it, there is hope. We are alive. Please don’t give up on us."

But as to how they decided who theyd choose to tell died? Who knows.

One of the people who the O6 say has died has got to have some sort of significance to the central players in the game surrounding the Island. There's some kind of competition going on, either to harness the forces of the Island, or to destroy it. Once it's found by one side or the other, the game's up and the fate of the world as we know it is sealed.

I envision that one side (light or dark, you decide) intends to destroy the Island, which will ultimately lead to the destruction of our world (our timeline, our consciousness as it is now). The other side will find the Island and use it for its own benefit...which will ultimately change the timeline too, thus altering our consciousness.

I imagine that whoever Adam and Eve turn out to be, will be the individuals who ultimately sacrifice themselves in order to prevent either the "light" or the "dark" outcome.

PS, I have my own theory about Adam and Eve. I think it's Rose and Bernard.
