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.
