Where’s the magic turtle when we need him?

Here are my weekly musings on the latest episode. Thank God there is only one left. 

At the beginning, how about Jack just tells them they have dynamite.  It is really necessary to blow up an innocent tree and waste a bunch of explosives?  I mean, would everyone not have understood the plan without blowing up the tree?  It seems relatively straightforward without the visual aid.

Flashbacks of flashbacks.  Why did we need to see that idiot Carl push the boat out 2x in the same episode?  Filler, plain and simple.

Charlie has a threesome with 2 groupies and it doesn’t make the top 5 list?  Come on, that has to top getting a ring from his bro!  Speaking of the ring, nice tie in with Lord of the Rings hobbit boy.

Didn’t anyone on the island see the Mythbusters episode that proves your can’t set off an explosion by shooting the explosive?   Maybe they could just back up the VW to the tents then shoot the gas tank while they are at it.

Sorry to get technical again, but a radio signal can’t “jam” a satellite phone signal.  Please. 

Why didn’t Charlie just ask Des if he could make the swim down to the station, rather than cracking him over the head with a paddle?  That seems a bit extreme to me.  And further on that subject, isn’t easier to swim if you aren’t wearing jeans?
