Right, pussycow.

Ive looked over that "Eggtown" episode as well before i posted above...but im of the impression that that body of water isnt related to the ocean, or the submarine dock at all. At best its a lagoon, but most likely its a lake. And the boathouse held equipment for Dharma people to utilize the lake for various things. Its very much walking distance from the houses...we see Kate walking with a tray of food to it.

The picture you have with the sub is the harbour and wharf dock (the dock we see Sun, Lapidus, Ben, and Locke land on in 2007...also the dock we see Widmore being given his farwell on)

The Pala Ferry dock is the one where Ben had the losties with sacks on their head and sent Micheal on his way..much bigger dock.

There is a small dock by the boathouse, but its of no relation to the other two docks, so that furthers the assumption that body of water is not connected to the sea in the same manner.

What i want to know, is why in 2007 is the dock completely fine...but Locke clearly blew a good portion of it up in 2004 when he blew up the submarine :P

See, I tend to think that the town/barracks has sort of been retconned to be closer to the beach than the s3 wide shot indicates.

That may be true, but i still think its more inland than not...thats why they need shuttle rides.

And Anti, while i disagree with you that this "dead is dead" episode finally proves the processing buildings arent near the docks...i do now agree with you they arent.

Actually, it was "proven" in season 3's "The Man Behind the Curtain" episode! You see Ben and his father get off the submarine onto that dock..and met by Horace. Its a rather long scene and in reverse shots in the day you can clearly see there are no buildings around, just a meeting awning and a road. And you can see all the Dharma vans lined up waiting to shuttle them all to what most likely the "Otherville" area which contains both the houses and the processing center area.
