Exec Producers Carlton and Cuse were complaining on one of the podcasts about the “Big mysteries revealed” promos. They were saying that the promos for the latest Jack flashback episode was announcing three big reveals when they had never promised such a thing. Apparently ABC did the promo on their own without consulting them and they said it was things like that that made them look bad.
As for the shark, I read somewhere (I think it was over on The Fuselage but I can’t find it right now) that the shark was really supposed to be just a shark but that someone in the group doing the CGI for it added the Dharma logo to it without telling anyone. The producers didn’t even know it was there until people saw it and started posting about it. They were a bit peeved about that one too.
According to the special features on the Season 1 DVD, the Dharma logo was added to a mechanical shark as a joke (though I don’t see why that’d be funny), but wasn’t intended to be seen by viewers…
Of course, I’m pretty sure the writers/producers of Lost are full of shit anyway, so who knows which is true (though they did show the Dharma logo on the mechanical shark itself during the feature, IIRC).
As for Mrs. Klugh and EPG “thanking them” or “asking to be killed”… its simple… if we are to believe what happened to Desmond… those two just got a second chance… thier charectors we’re respawned at the beginning of the game.
As for the fence… Locke pushed EPG thru with sufficient force that if a speedy dash were all taht was required, he would’ve survived… seems to me that as soon as he crossed the plane he was “trapped” unitl the fence recycled. that wouldve been the moment to run thru, while the system reset.
I want to know more about the list, how it was compiled… this flashback further clarified the “daddy issues” premise for those left behind. What’s it mean to be “on the list”… etc.
Yes, Claire is still hot as a redhead. I never said brunettes were hotter than redheads, I said they were hotter than blondes. Emilie looks good with darker hair, IMHO … her eyes are very bright and her skin is very fair and the light hair just washes out her whole look. All she needs is pink contact lenses and she’d be an albino. She may still be ditzy with darker hair, but she at least appears deeper.
They’re trying to blame that episode’s horridness on ABC? That’s funny. I never listen to promos anyway. Every episode is OMG MOST SHOCKING EPISODE EVAR!!! They’ll stop making those when people stop getting fooled by them.
The more I think about it, the more I’m sure time travel is the key.
The Black Rock? Time travel.
Kidnapping children? Time travel has affected their ability to reproduce.
Locke and Rose magically healing? Time travel somehow reversed their ailments.
Desmond? 'Nuff said.
Walt? Stupid casting decision. I mean time travel.
Adam and Eve? Yep.
And so on.
/nitpick/
Human albinos have blue eyes, not pink. In people, the absence of pigment makes eyes blue (which is why many newborns have blue eyes, which change to other colors as they get older and pigment is produced). IANAA, but I know someone who is. She doesn’t have especially good vision, but her eyes are blue, not pink.
/end nitpick/
Well, what the heck should Jack do? Here’s are his choices:
Hang out and be cool
Go back to your cage
Try to escape the village of actual houses with running water and people who might actually have a way off the island so he can hang out on the other side of the same island with a bunch of dorks living in lean-tos who the Others can kill indescriminately at will
Look up Albino in Wiki - there are several variant forms of albinism, only one of which, only occasionally, results in pink eyes. Edgar Winter is an albino and does have pink eyes, but blue eyes are more common.
Enough highjack - back to the topic at hand:
I don’t think Locke’s pushing EPG through the perimeter was suspicious except for the timing. I thought it made perfect sense, actually. EPG was a lying liar but was clearly not lying about wanting to kill them. It’s only logical for Our Heroes to assume he was lying when he said that the perimeter was inactive. The best way to confirm this was to test it. And who better to be the “test subject” but EPG?
My theory on Locke and the wheelchair: Locke blew up something important. When asked “WHY?” he just says, “sorry.” Instead of replying “We’ll talk about this later”, the other person pushes him down the stairs.
Hey, I never said he shouldn’t – just that I found it amusing.
And if there’s any chance of Ben making good on his promise to send Jack home, I guess the best place to be is hanging around where Ben is until he gets well. Plus, they have running water and stuff, and back at his old beachfront tent, Sawyer is still banging his favorite gal (as far as he knows)…
Unless I missed something, the cages are on the other island. The one where Jack, Kate, and Sawyer were being held was different from the “main” island where everyone lives.
I had a few thoughts after digesting the most recent episode (actually, I was out of town, so I wathced the last two weeks back to back):
Episodes where Sayid is a focal character are much better than ones where he is not.
I got an Atlantis Risen vibe in the eye-patch’s discussion of the others. Like they were ancient. This jives with the four toes statue,
For some reason, I believe the Great One will be a character already introduced. My suspicion is, it will be Jack’s dad. I certainly think he is still alive and seems to type to build a cult around himself.
Is it just me or his accent getting worse and worse with every episode? I barely noticed it at the start of the series and now it’s all I can think of when he’s speaking.
