Maybe Henry is Desmonds Relief...

[WG...@webtv.net]

and he is not an Other! That would explain a lot of things about him
that do not make any sense like how he really got to the Island. And it
was not by any Balloon. Desmond was expecting his relief, and he thought
Locke was him. Well why dosen't Locke ask Henry about the Snow Man
password, or what ever it was. If Henry can answer that than maybe he
really is just Desmonds relief, and not an Other. Maybe that pallet of
food was for the new guy in the bunker Desmonds relief, Henry. And maybe
Dharma thought that Desmond was still down in the bunker pushing the
button.

And Henry isn't claiming to be Desmond's relief. He could use the snowman
thing to help prove or disprove it if Henry was claiming to be the relief,
but
I think he's as much as as admitted he's an other.

Someone should ask Hurley.

Read

and replace "Atlas" with "Desmond," and "Hercules" with "Hurley."

There's a reason that Hurley was the one who was haunted by those
numbers. It was a way of preparing him for taking over the task of
"saving the world."

Speaking of which, there's been some parallels about that.

Desmond "Saving the world" vs Danielle's killing her crew to save the
world - "what would have happened if we were rescued."

Preventing rescue to stay healed. Rousseau killed her team. Rose.
Possibly the Others...

I've been mulling over the possibility that human beings were "the
carriers" of the disease, which threatened the Nommos. After reading
about de Musset's story "White Blackbird," I think Danielle's husband
Robert (and the rest of her team) was human, while she is a Nommo. The
figures on her music box were dressed in black and white.

If the Losties are Nommos who have been living as humans, it might be
more difficult for the adults to adjust to the revelation of their true
nature. Children, on the other hand, are prime candidates for being
trained (and vaccinated). I think there's a good reason that Walt
looks all watery and glistening when he appears. His true nature is
coming through.

There's an interesting story about carrier pigeons in "The Sirius
Mystery." Apparently, the ancient oracles used carrier pigeons pretty
much like we use the internet, to share information much more rapidly
than would have been possible using normal means of travel and human
messengers. The birds also enabled the oracles to run a kind of con
game whereby they supposedly could make predictions about events, when
in reality it was the carrier pigeon network that was cluing them in.

Temple writes, "To keep in touch over such enormous distances, and to
mantain prompt communication between oracle centres which was essential
to the successful operation of a coherent 'world-wide' religious
network spread over thousands of miles, the only available means were
carrier-pigeons. I am informed that carrier-pigeons could fly from
Thebes to Dodona in about a day. To travel such a distance oneself by
sea and land would take months. Daily communication between the
Egyptian religious centre of Thebes and all its oracle 'colonies' would
have been transacted by the very carrier-pigeons whom we see plainly
depicted on omphalos stones by both Greek and Egyptian representations
and documented clearly by Herodotus. Also, I should imagine such
instantaneous 'news coverage' would surreptitiously find its way into
the oracular pronouncements at the various centres and exercise a
considerable political influence. For after all, there was hardly a
king or potentate anywhere in the ancient world who would disregard an
order 'from the gods'. Probably the political forces were totally
ignorant of the 'hot news line' ticking away secretly in the local
oracle centre's temple complex."

So Danielle's use of the word "carriers" may have deeper meaning. I
also think it's significant that the Dogon people call the Nommos "the
Monitors." Think about what's so important in the hatch, and another
meaning for "monitor."

Yep! I think I've said a while ago that there's a hidden cam inside the
computer monitor. That's how "Walt" knew Michael was alone...
