Juxtapositional Eugenics Development Institute or J.E.D.I.
Saw this on another site.
Don’t know which of the others you can’t identify, but a silly piece of trivia about Lindsay Frost, who played Shannon’s Evil Stepmother; she got her start on the soap opera As The World Turns, playing Betsy Stewart Andropoulos, having taken over the role from an actress who left the show to pursue a movie career in Hollywood – Meg Ryan.
And to drag the silly trivia connection a bit further, As The World Turns is also where Thomas Gibson got his acting start, playing Derek Mason, who was married to the show’s then-heroine, and was killed in an explosion he’d actually arranged to try to kill his wife.
And to stetch it beyond what anyone probably gives a hoot about, since it’s a real looooong stretch to connect it to Lost, but the actor featured in previews shown during this week’s episode of Lost, for the new show Invasion, William Fichtner, also got his acting start on As The World Turns, playing Betsy Stewart Andropoulos’s love interest, opposite Lindsay Frost.
The two memos linked from that site are dated two days apart and both deal with the Zanzibar monkey experiment – and the more ominous one was faxed to them two days before the “Happy birthday, monkey!” press release.
I think the whole swaddling thing was meant as a parallel to Shannon. She’d lived an easy, sheltered life and when she was harshly unswaddled, she flipped out and couldn’t handle it.
Regarding “Joop”:
[spoiler]Experimental subject 626?
Isn’t that Stitch’s number from Lilo and Stitch? Easter egg, you think?[/spoiler]
Pure speculation on my part: “Juxtaposition” usually denotes opposites, often comparing two opposite ends of some spectrum. “Eugenics” usually has something to do with managing DNA in breeding programs. Ergo, I’m thinking this has something to do with breeding or creating “evil twins.”
…And Locke said something to the effect of, “We don’t learn to want freedom until we’re older.”
Quick question, since I missed this episode (dang VCR hehe)
Who were the two women mentioned earlier? Cindy and Libby I think the names were?
I only remember 1 other woman besides AL… The blond lady who was with Michael before he ran off. Whish is she? And what does the other one look like?
But see, that’s why Walt speaks backwards! They plugged the equipment in backwards! 
Libby is the blonde lady, and Cindy was an Australian woman with dark hair and (I think) a blue shirt who didn’t have a single line I could remember until this week.
Cindy is the stewardess who gave Jack the extra vodka on the plane. She was among the tail section survivors, even though she chased Charlie up to the front of the plane right before it came down. :dubious:
Libby is the blond woman you mentioned.
The blonde one is Libby, played by Cynthia Watros. The other one is, indeed, Cindy, played by Kimberley Joseph.
This is what you choose to be dubious about? 
So the Dharma Initiative site now has a login option. This is going to bug me for quite some time. Any suggestions for things to try, give me a shout–I’ve got nothing to do after lunch today. 
All of the ‘access denied’ pages have the word “Namaste” toward the end of the paragraph, you might try that as a password. For logins try the names of any of the Dharma scientists whose names we know, or combinations of first initials and last names and so forth.
According to The Fuselage, what I’m looking at is not an official site, so I’m officially giving up. Thanks for the suggestions, though, August!
And of course “Namaste” spelled sideways is “eats man.” :eek:
by the way, is this the first episode in which more than one person hears the whispering at one time?
CFL mentions it and Sayid and Sawyer have heard it, but I don’t think that it’s been a group experience until this ep.
If the tail rips off, and the cabin becomes depressurized, then anyone standing would be ripped out of the plane, right? Including Cindy.
The question I have, is if Charlie was in the bathroom that was in the front (remember, he went with Jack and Claire to get his drugs when the Pilot died), why was he on the beach and not with the nose section?
Did he come out of the bathroom?
[sub]
Have I asked this question before? Because it seems familiar![/sub]
Charlie came out, dodged a beverage cart, then strapped himself into a seat in business class, I believe. Cindy could very well have done the same.
That we’ve seen, it’s all been solo hearing. The Tailaways may have had mass hearings, but we haven’t heard about it yet.
Maybe they do. Michael has a secret plan to use it as a camoflague of sorts…
Meaning the actual, same, red (IIRC from Locke in the parking lot) car?
