There’s very little detail of the bar shown, but here’s an enlargement with the brightness and contrast adjusted, compared with a detail shot of the wrapper. Looks like the same brand to me.
I don’t think there has ever been a real Apollo chocolate bar. There’s a Japanese company that makes Apollo chocolates, but they’re bite-sized bits and come in a tube or a box. I’m pretty sure that “Apollo” is to chocolate bars as “Oceanic” is to airlines.
I wouldn’t spend a lot of time thinking about that possibility – I think it’s just misguided speculation on the part of the TV Guide writer, based exclusively on Sawyer reading A Wrinkle in Time. The producers don’t say anything that corroborates it, and in fact are quoted in such a way that categorically rules out any possibility that any of the flashbacks are post-crash:
It would be interesting to know what specific question prompted that response. The way it’s written, some people might assume that it was given in response to a question like “Is there time-travel involved?” If it were, then saying “It is important to note that we’ve never said when the plane crashed,” seems like an affirmation.
It’s much more likely that the question was something like “When, precisely, is the action on the island taking place?” If this is the case, than the answer doesn’t really tell us anything apart from that the producers are consciously trying to make sure that the show doesn’t date easily, which is pretty standard strategy if you have an eye on syndication or future DVD sales.
It’s kind of amusing that Hurley’s Chicken Shack boss later became Hurley’s employee, assuming that the box company Locke worked for is the one that Hurley owned.
But didn’t we see him with fresh fruit in a previous episode? Hasn’t he been out of the hatch? If he knew there were food sources outside, then it wouldn’t be a tremendous concern that food was running low inside.
I assumed the fruit was canned or otherwise preserved (sealed, frozen, whatever). I also had the impression he hasnt’ been out of the hatch since he first went in, though I suppose its possible he has. I didn’t see any indications that he was bringing in outside fresh foodstuffs…no drying racks for boar, no baskets of fresh fruits, etc…and we’ve seen no cultivation other than that done by the Korean chick who’s name presently escapes me. You’d think if he were cultivating fruit it would be close to the hatch or the rear exit…and we’d have seen it (i.e. the other survivors would have commented on it).
I don’t remember what the fruit was…but I haven’t seen any of the other survivors eating it (i.e. I don’t think it grows naturally out there in the jungle). Could be wrong of course as I tend to miss some of these things…like the shark logo.
Billy Ray Gallion (sp? I looked it up earlier today) is listed as Randy in both episodes at TV.com
Sorry if this has already been mentioned. I can’t seem to keep up here!
I think any speculation based on books you see in Lost are decoys put there by the writers. In fact, the key to figure things out is figuring out which clues are throw-away items, and which are significant. Books are throw-away clues.
We’ve got things narrowed down now to Dharma corporation, and those weird experiments from the 60s/70s. And the writers have been saying all along that it’s not space aliens or time travel. That seems like genuine input at this point. I really think the writers threw us some big bones in the last few episodes.
It’s pretty clear that the boat people are “running thing” on the island, and I guess they wanted Walt for his psychic ability. They probably relocated him to the bunker that focuses on that research project. Hurley’s dreams were just that-- dreams. Not visions.
I’m beginning to think that the Blackrock was planted there by Dharma, and didn’t run aground. Things started in the 1960s, not the 1800s.
Does anyone know if the I Ching bars on the new Dharma symbol are the same as the one in Desmond’s hatch?
Yeah, I saw the Ethan Rom game but I couldn’t get it to work. What am I doing wrong?
At the Mr. Clucks site, make sure to click the small paragraph symbol at the bottom right of the screen. It goes to four links, one of which opens some kind of recap of each episode. Also, the big chicken logo will occasionally flicker and show the number sequence mixed in with words like DHARMA and HURLEY.
Apparently there’s a whole cottage industry devoted to creating Lost-related gag sites for ABC.
I’d like to, but it won’t let me enter anything. I’ve tried typing it in, clicking on the letters in the right order, everything I can think of and nothing works.
Ah, ok. Never occurred to me to do that. Yay, a three-second video reward!
I knew I wouldn’t be the only one to notice that Jin and Bernard knew each other in their previous lives at Wolfram & Hart. I think Walt’s mother might’ve known them too. She mentioned she was going to be senior partner at the Rome office of her law firm, and we saw the W&H Rome office in the last season of Angel. No wonder she dropped dead of Mystery Cancer!
