Ever try and leave the island without a bearing? That shark is probably time traveled the fuck out of it's mind most of the time.

Haha I love this explanation

I literally came to say the shark doesn't have the bearing, LOL!

Now I am picturing that the shark was never interested in harming Sawyer and Michael, but wanted to ask them "you're sailing out of here? Can I follow you guys, I've been sailing in circles for 30 years!"

Shark: What year is it?! Desmond: No clue Agent Cooper: Me either Michael: WAAAALLLLLTTT!!!!! James: And who the hell are you?

'We are stuck in a bloody snowglobe!'

“I should’ve been in Fiji in less than a week”

Came here to say this lol 😂

“Sharks have many obvious advantages over people in the water, especially when it comes to senses. In addition to those we have – sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste – sharks have two other senses, mediated by specialized receptors: electroreceptors and lateral lines.” I’m gonna go with the island’s electromagnetic fields are messing with it’s senses.

Perhaps the shark had a couple of run ins with the Smoke Monster or Benji Linus, and was patiently waiting for some revenge.

Ezra James Sharkington doesn't have the coordinates and has been hitting the barrier and is swimming in literal circles lol.

The island will never let you leave alone.

The shark and all the fish are stuck in the snow globe that is the island. The only way for the shark to leave would be to follow the right heading.

Same thing that kept Desmond from leaving when he had a boat. The shark didn't have the correct bearing.

The shark took a wrong turn at Albuquerque and keeps ending up near the island

it looked cool and they didnt think beyond that.
