They're looking for the island. It's hidden somehow and they're trying to detect it by an electromagnetic surge. Penny is searching for Desmond. The race is sponsored by her father, so I'm guessing he financed the island and ensured that Desmond reached it.
thats a little too obvious, not so sure its the right answer.. they couldn't leave a cliff hanger that could be answered in one episode.
im confused as all hell, but at least i don't have to wait for january to pick this show back up like i have to when it comes to 24. i love september season starts.
In the middle of the episode, when she finds desmond at the stadium, she says "With enough money and determination you can find anyone." It's obvious that Desmond is being searched for... but as far as her father sponsoring it to keep Desmond away... I dunno. I don't doubt he had something to do with it, but in the greater scheme of things, I think that he's behind it all.
imo that would be retarded if her father was sponsoring it
because that wouldn't explain why they were pushing it for so long, and so long that it was probably before he even met the daughter to begin with
and i doubt someone would go through some elaborate ruse like build hatches and run experiments that woudl most likely take decades to accomplish this would be very far fetched because he could easily have him killed
why for some reason "the others" know how to get off the island but choose not to
if the father is a part of this the only logical explanation would be that he is a higher up / leader in the Dharma Initiative and they were conductive all of these experiments long before desmond ever came around but just is using this keep him away but this is far from the "purpose" of the island
what i'd like to know is why the ? hatch (the pearl?) would ever be estabished to begin with
because the very notion of this kind of hatch appears to only be detrimental to keeping someone pushing the button and if they wanted to keep the button pressed than having the monitor with the hatches appears to only jeopardize this assuming they want the button to be pushed
the only thing i can think of is this is some sort of fake hatch and uses spliced footage of the guy in the video to make it seem like what the other peopl are doing is a joke though I have no idea who would have done it
I doubt it was the others because Henry Gale had to have pushed the button so this raises alot of questions
