Truff,
Before I start, when shown on Frnech TV Danielle's message was changed to German (and as it turns out a couple of other languages are mixed in). Thanks to Killfetzer, we finally have a nearly complete translation of it as well as an MP3 for anybody who wants to listen to it. As a result, the it/he debate can be settled. "It" killed them all. Curiosly, mention of the Black Rock, Grennen...
If the central theme is live together,die alone...................then this would mean Danielle would be dead.........therefore she MUST be in cahoots with someone
Great read Truff.
This thread is great, Truffula. I don't know if it can help, but in Italian the distress message was translated like this (I'm trying to turn it in English again):
"Please, please, help me . Please, come here to rescue me . I'm alone now, alone in the island. Please, anybody come. The others are dead. It [or He: the subject is ambiguous, as in French] killed them. It [or He] killed them all...
Thanks for the info about the Italian translation, lostbyme
I think Homer has a thread in GD about a German translation as well.
For clarification, the mention of the Black Rock, and Brennan and the Keys came from the full unedited transmission that was an Easter Egg on the S1 DVDs.
And I'm starting to think more about her knowledge of the Medical Hatch (the Staff). She claims to...
Excellent analysis.
One thing that has been bothering me is why did Ben need to go through the trouble of getting captured, shot and tortured to evaluate Jack when Mr. Friendly (Tom) could have captured Jack, Sawyer, Kate, and Locke at the clearing in Episode 11 (The Hunting Party).
Assuming Ethan complied aT least partial list of the main players, he should of provided Ben and the ...

DANIELLE: You just happened to hear my distress call?
I always took that line in the context of her statement that, after she put up the distrass message, the Others seized control of the radio tower. Why didn't they change it back? From that angle, her sarcasm towards Sayid, if she believes he is an Other, is understandable.
I ...

I remember arguing, during the height of my Kate=Alex days, that the iteration count might be wildly off for that reason.
The iteration count indicates the message has been playing for approximately 16 years. Alex appears to be approximately 16 years old. How is the iteration count wildly off?
great thread truff !
I dont think the idea she was in on a plan with ben is a stretch though.
it seems very plausible. and I agree Danielle may have been part of Dharma..
so who were the others ?
maybe they were the outside interferance that made the system go haywire, generating some form of incident from the system decohering.
I did take sayids recent "its a closed system" ...
Quick question before this gets moved. I wanted to continue discussing Rousseau and the possibility that the killing of her crew was a hallucination by Smokey. Is there a thread about Rousseau in theories or are all strictly character-based threads going to the individual character threads? Thanks!
Quote: At any rate, the point I'm making is, if the Others control the radio tower, then why didn't they change that distress broadcast? Why would they leave it keep playing instead of changing it back to the numbers broadcast? Perhaps the simplest answer is - they can't change it. Maybe Brennen or Brendon taking the keys has something to do with that?

Clay, Don't get me going on that again. At any rate, the point I'm making is, if the Others control the radio tower, then why didn't they change that distress broadcast? Why would they leave it keep playing instead of changing it back to the numbers broadcast?
It seems to me that the series tends to hide Danielle an awful lot... as if she knows much, and can't be questioned at this time by our Losties. I mean even with her strange babblings, someone is bound to get some info out of her.

And, this thread is definitely appealing. I want to comment, but I'm going to have to wait until I have more time. Maybe, I'll comment in the copied thread in her forum and copy that post here. (man-hug)

Do the Others then need the radio tower? Why don't they just destroy it? Or am I mixing up radio tower ownership? I really like the concept of Rousseau being manipulated to do the Others' killing so that the Others can remain pure and noble. Rousseau, perhaps while she believe her daughter was still alive, could not be manipulated into suicide? She did urge Kate a little to shoot her, but Kate kills most people by accident or by...
