Oh yeah, forgot about this thought... well, perhaps the freighter is in the normal space-time as the rest of the world, and that's why transmissions appear normal. In fact, all electronic communications to/from the island have had no anomaly whatsoever. There are the satellite phone calls to/from the ship, there was the communication with Penny in the season finale of last year, there was Ben communicating with his man in America to prove to Juliet that her sister was alive and well. So I'm beginning to think that this time anomaly has more to do with one's own perception of time -- though this is admittedly something that I'll have to digest and think about for a while...
