More Time/Space Clues

I listened to the latest LOST podcast which has writer/producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse answering viewer questions, although somewhat obliquely. They added some major fuel to the time travel/wormhole theory. Here's an excerpt:
------------
Damon: "Faraday was conducting some interesting experiments in 'The Economist,' and I was wondering, Carlton, if you'd like to explain to me at least, because I found it very intriguing, what's up with all this rocketry/digital watch fiasco."

Carlton: "Well there was kind of a time shift that obviously occurred. This rocket was launched and was synchronized with Faraday's watch, but in fact when it arrived the digital clock had a slightly different time. Which would suggest that there was some sort of time fluctuation that occurred in that rocket's journey from the freighter to the island, and I think that's something which is pretty important."

Damon: "That's interesting, that's why I was asking."

Carlton: "Thanks for asking, that was a good question. You picked up on something very important in that episode."

Damon: "That's good, because we wrote future episodes about that very thing, and if we hadn't picked up on it, it would have been a detriment to the show..."

Carlton (reading a fan question to Damon): "How does a polar bear with a Dharma collar get in the middle of the desert?"

Damon (after some silly meandering): "There are properties of the island that are potentially capable of shall we say transporting things from the island off the island."

Carlton: "It might be helpful actually for those viewers who are interested in this question to go online and find the training film for the Orchid Station."

Damon: "Yeah, that would be a very good place to start."

Carlton: "Rarely do we actually have things that aren't in the show that are important to the show, but in this case it is important. Yet if you don't see the Orchid trailer, when we get to it later in the show..."

Damon: "But it's good to say that if you're curious about how a polar bear with a Dharma collar ends up in Tunisia, watch that film because that polar bear has certain things in common with say, bunnies with eights on their backs."

Carlton: "That's right."

Carlton (answering a question regarding C. S. Lewis): "Let's just say yes, the homage to Clive Staples Lewis is very intentional, and there are definitely themes in the Narnia Chronicles that are very relevant to Lost.... Yes, I think a reading of the Narnia books is not only enjoyable but probably somewhat instructive."

Damon: "Yeah, in the same way that I think Alice in Wonderland is something that we refer to and Oz... What's great about those worlds is they're all world on the other side of earth. That is to say that they're not fantasy realms like Star Wars, Narnia is actually connected to the world that we know and so is Oz, as is Wonderland."

Carlton: "As is our Island."

Damon: "As is our Island."
