Hating Ellen Tigh is the correct response
I hate Ellen, but I'm pretty sure that's what the show wants its viewers to do. She is worthy of hate as she showed in this episode. We spent last episode making her seem more sympathetic when faced with Cavil's whiny anger at his creators. The show has set up some complicated

The theory that they're all dead and everything is spiritual in some way is still on the table.

Question
Does the second, smaller island used by the Others also move when the island moves?

Murray,
I just posted on that same topic above. I definitely think that the hatch was hiding the island and turning the failsafe revealed it to the antarctic crew and likely also to the lamppost.

Remember the discovery of flight 815 from last season
They played it off as a huge hoax by Widmore to cover up the island etc. I wouldn't be surprised if we find out that they actually did crash and everyone's body was aboard. We see people dying and bodies living on; I question whenever something big is explained so

The button in the hatch was to hide the island from the Lamppost
The fact that the Lamppost existed on a piece of land that had special magnetic properties along with the consequences of failing to press the button, makes me believe that the button in the hatch was set up to hide the island from detection from the

Either history is a farce or the cylons created skinjobs thousands of years ago and inhabited earth before killing the actual earth colony (if it ever made it there).

Revisionist history
There is a major timeline problem regarding when cylons were created and especially when the skinjobs were created. Cylons were supposedly created by the colonials and then after an armistace the cylons created the skinjobs. So how then could the earth colonials be skinjobs if they shared their

Yummsh gets what I'm saying. Live your own life; deliberately not letting yourself enjoy something because it conflicts with your idea of "cool" is not going to make you any happier in life.

Give something *a try*

Sacred Cow Rant
My biggest sacred cow test is whether someone is willing to give something outside the norm—or even blatantly nerdy—without worrying and fretting about appearing weird or a nerd. I cannot understand this and find it infuriating. In a very Fountainhead sort of way I think these people are living their

Charlotte's mother's maiden name
Something is changing in Charlotte's past to make her not exist a la the McFly siblings in Back to the Future. Hence the nosebleed.

I'm curious to see if people born on the island don't skip. Most notably I want to know if Aaron skips and if Ben skips (do we know whether he was actually born on the island or was he lying?).

The Smoke Monster
Whenever something happens in the past that changes the future, the things that were changes continue to exist as shadows in the present.

New Theory
The skinjobs returned from earth to liberate the enslaved models of cylons that were bastardized by the twelve colonies. Skinjobs existed on Kobol and thus on Earth and were taken to the twelve colonies and modified into something horific (toasters) that caused the original cylons to return from earth to

I agree that they don't have enough on Ronnie to make an aiding and abetting charge stick so long as they can't prove that he and Vic are co-conspirators.

The worst possible outcome
The worst possible outcome for the Shield as a series would be if Vic somehow dodges everything and ends up as an ICE agent in a spin-off series. The beauty of the Shield is that the show will come to a satisfying end even if Vic dies. At this point it seems that the only way for Vic to end

Aceveda put together the box. That's how he knows so well what's in there. He didn't just review it when he got it from Vic.

I know Zodiac is right because he uses all upper case.
