My guess is because either something really bad goes down with the boat people and a lot of them, although not all of them, do get killed, or somehow, the island doesn't let them leave or they don't want to leave. So, short answer is we don't know why they're lying, but they are lying about how many survived.

first off - great typing...for a 3 year old.

secondly - it's a cover story. it's a lie. they can't and won't mention the island at all. having more people survive, then eventually die during their ordeal is simply a more interesting - if not believable, story.

i could be wrong, but i'd wager that's basically all there is to it.

First off im 21 not 3....

And yeh i no its a lie i just didnt get why they were lying but i guess we'll find out soon enough!

[Boo Boo]

There lying to protect the people left on the island. It's pretty obvious from the past few eps that outside forces ( widmore ) want all island inhabitants dead.

are you sure? because I'm just about 27, and I know I didn't type like a 4 year old when I was 21.

Its the way i type im sorry if its an inconvenince to u, wasnt intentional or anything..no need to be snappy tho....

Thanks boo boo....ive caught up now and i understand it all now cant wait for the season finale

Nice set up ep. I enjoyed it.

Sucks having to wait 2 weeks to see the payoff.


I'm wondering who the other two are that supposedly died on the island in the little cover story are. Jack says eight of them made it to the island and two later died. I wonder who. Not really an important detail, but I'm curious as to who they named as part of the cover story.

Either I'm crazy or I totally missed the bit where Jack tells who the other three were that survived when this ep originally aired.

I caught the 3 names in last night's repeat. Was it an "extended" cut of the ep? Because I swear I didn't hear them the first time this aired....

Anyway....at least my question was answered. Boone, Libby, and Charlie were named.

That was added footage. Jack didn't name names when the episode originally aired. I'm curious why they picked those three (not that I mind, I miss Charley). Was it just random or is it some clue about who's spirit might be making a spectral visit over the next two seasons.

Ah. Thanks.

I somehow doubt it was random.

Though part of the lie was at least mixed with some truth as those three people really did die on the island.

It wasn't really important as they've mentioned several times. That's why it was cut-able from the original airing. Imagine the theories if they had used 3 names of people we didn't know

Oh only 4 1/2 hours to go til i can see it
