Talk: The Rules

Revision as of 21:33, 8 September 2008

General

I believe Linus and Widmore are engaged in a "lifelong game" for control of the island's powers. Rule #1. They cannot kill anyone themselves but must use others to do the dirty work. This is why Ben smiles when he succeeds in getting other people to do what he wants. --Habutom 03:42, 30 April 2008 (PDT)

I think these rules extend somehow to the Others (not necessarily DHARMA). So I think the first rule would be something more like:

They can't kill innocent ("good") people.

There may be something about directly interacting with the Lostees (explaining why Bea told Michael that the Others couldn't rescue Ben), and not allowing "Bad People" into the DHARMA compound (explaining why Bea told Mikhail to shoot her). --Doc 11:07, 26 June 2008 (PDT)

References to "The Rules"

I did a cursory search of the Wiki for any more references to "the rules". Anyone know a good way to parse all the transcripts for this phrase? I'm betting there's got to be more instances of people using that phrase. Kevrock talk contribs 14:33, 8 September 2008 (PDT)
