TPTB #1: ...and that's the mystery of the island!

TPTB #2: Um, you do realize we've got another whole season to do yet, right?

TPTB #1: Seriously?

TPTB #2: Pretty sure.

TPTB #1: [ponders] You know what this show needs? More things that make no sense!

TPTB #2: Aaaaall right. Let's say I agree just so I can find out where you're going with this.

TPTB #1: Okay okay okay. Picture this: it's the 1950s and the island is inhabited by the military!

TPTB #2: Um...okay. Whose military?

TPTB #1: ... Australia is close! So we've got military Marine-type men and women wandering around--

TPTB #2: Women were part of integrated military units back then?

TPTB #1: Dude, it's the Australian army.

TPTB #2: Yeah, but...

TPTB #1: Australian. They probably had kangaroos too.

TPTB #2: Okay, we'll come back to that later.

TPTB #1: OH! And get this! They've got an H-bomb! It'll look cool hanging from rickety scaffolding out in the jungle!

TPTB #2: The fuck? Why would the Australian army have an H-bomb hanging from scaffolding outside?

TPTB #1: IT WILL LOOK COOL.

TPTB #2: Yeah, but--

TPTB #1: COOL.

TPTB #2: M'kaaaaaay.

TPTB #1: And DUN DUN DUN! Charles Widmore is a soldier in the army!

TPTB #2: Wait wait wait. Charles Widmore is Australian?

TPTB #1: Oh, I don't know. He's got one of those funny accents. I'm pretty sure he's not Scottish since he doesn't sound like McGruff the Crime Dog.

TPTB #2: McGruff the Crime Dog didn't have an accent.

TPTB #1: Exactly.

TPTB #2: ...

TPTB #1: What?

TPTB #2: So you do know how all this stuff will tie into the solution, right?

TPTB #1: Hell no. But by that time I'll be sipping a drink in my hut in Thailand.

TPTB #2: ... I should have gone to Knight Rider.

"You can't expect me to believe that you, a Chinese man and a woman are all part of the United States Military."

Right. She thought he and the others were part of the American army. But if they wanted me to think that she and the others in her group was part of the American army, they shouldn't have hired actors with other accents. :D

Alan "Don't call me Jim Robinson" Dale plays ye olde Widmore, the young Widmore had a fairly believeable Brit one thank God. I cringed when everyone at Oxford was speaking insanely posh English. I've been to Oxford. Nu-uh.

HEH!!

she and the others in her group was part of the American army
Um, sorry for butting in, but I thought her and the others, including Widmore, were Others, capital O. And that they killed the American army people who invaded the island to do their nuclear experiments and refused to leave, because apparently Richard was ordered to do so (by Jacob I suppose).

...no?

*iz confuzed*

I don't know, English isn't my first language and accents confuse me. I can distinguish British, American and Scottish, but that's it...

I think that's right - and they thought that this new group of people (our band of time-traveling islanders) was part of the whole American army thing.
