> [@Plynck](#): > > If anyone has the DVDs, can they comment on the additional footage that wasnā€™t aired on television? Specifically, was there additional character development, or were there plot dead ends? Not sure whether this should be in spoiler boxes or not. > > Thanks, > plynck I havenā€™t watched all the extras yet, but I did see the 2 flashback scenes that were cut from the finale. The first one is Claire: Sheā€™s having coffee in the airport and meets the pilot. She ends up telling him her story about the psychic. He then tells her a story about his mother, who went to a tarot card reader. The reading said that sheā€™d marry a tall man whose name starts with R, so she broke up with her short boyfriend Bernard and started waiting for this R. Bernard ended up selling his business for $39 million, while sheā€™s still waiting for R. He finishes the story with ā€œpsychics are just magicians who arenā€™t good enough to play Vegas.ā€ The second one is Sayid: It starts with Sayid on the beach; he sees Sawyer using a necktie to tie up something on the raft. Then in flashback, Sayidā€™s picking out a tie in a shop in the airport. He has some discussion with the clerk about needing a tie for when he meets Nadia, and the clerk helps him to choose the tie. As he goes to pay for it, the airport police come in and ask if he left his bag unattended. He says that he asked someone to watch it, and the cops lead him away. ---

Now, we saw the hatch last season plenty, and I donā€™t remember seeing this QUARANTINE. I certainly hope thereā€™s a good explanation for this - if the word just suddenly appears, it would suggest the writers are just making this stuff up as they go. Yeah. They better have damn good explaination for why it wasnā€™t noticed before. I was pretty close to jumping ship at the end of last season. If they fumble this then this season is going to be a non-starter for me. ---

Maybe (just blind speculation hereā€¦) Maybe the letters were on the inside. Maybe the inside was supposed to be a safe area, and the label indicates the outside (i.e. the island proper) as ā€œquarantineā€! ---

I watched the DVD commentaries on some of the episodes today, and there was a little tidbit mentioned in Walkabout (Lockeā€™s first flashback) that I thought was interesting. I donā€™t think itā€™s really a spoiler but Iā€™ll box it to be extra safe: In the flashback scene where Locke is on the phone with Helen, thereā€™s this electric box by his bed that looks like some EKG or oscilloscope thing. The commentary says that itā€™s electrically stimulating his leg muscles, and that this is at least part of the reason heā€™s got the strength to stand right after the crash. I can recall that the box and the fact that Lockeā€™s muscles werenā€™t atrophied were brought up as questions by people talking about the episode, so itā€™s interesting that the writers had this in their heads. ---

A guy in my office collected money yesterday and went out to buy Mega Millions tickets for everybody. Today, heā€™s handing out photocopies of the tickets. First ticket I looked at ā€¦ started with 08 15. Iā€™m still laughing. ---

I watched the first three eps on DVD last night with a guy whoā€™d never seen it before. Reaction: ā€œDude, that was awesome.ā€ Reelinā€™ in another fan, folks. Question: Do you suppose the peculiar behavior of Vincent (the honey labrador) during the two-hour opener is meaningful? We know by the end of the season that Walt, whose dog Vincent is, plays a significant role in the overall story, though what, exactly, we donā€™t yet understand. And itā€™s Locke who fashions the whistle and summons Vincent back to Waltā€™s side, after Vincent is seen a couple of times apparently keeping an eye on Jack, hanging back in the bushes, sitting still, and watching in an oddly un-dog-like fashion. Indeed, this is just about the very first thing that happens in the show. Iā€™m probably reading too much into it, but wouldnā€™t it be fun if the dog turns out to be important later, and we realize later that it was set up at the very beginning? ---

> [@Cervaise](#): > > Iā€™m probably reading too much into it, but wouldnā€™t it be fun if the dog turns out to be important later, and we realize later that it was set up at the very beginning? If I donā€™t spoiler this, someone will get mad, even though I think itā€™s well past itā€™s use-by date ā€¦ [spoiler]I had read toward the end of last season that the finale would include a Vincent flashback, which gave a little bit of what went on inside the cargo area of the plane. The only other thing I can think of that was in the cargo area was Jackā€™s father, but thatā€™s almost certainly unimportant right now. (ā€œRight nowā€ being the operative words in that sentence.) But I think if the writers were planning to show Vincentā€™s point of view on anything, then his early behavior probably _is_ pretty important. Of course, this could just be another of those ā€œabandoned plotlineā€ things, like Boone being on antipsychotics and then running outā€“I think that would have been fun to watch, though.[/spoiler] ---

Complete speculation follows regarding Vincent and Walt: If, as some people speculate, Walt can create Polar Bears - - maybe that ainā€™t Vincent. The original Vincent anyway. ---

Hey guys ā€“ just a note. You donā€™t need to put spoiler boxes on speculations. Just donā€™t do any advance knowledge stuff about season 2 without spoiler boxes (until they air, of course). If you know something, shut up! If youā€™re guessing, have at it. šŸ˜ƒ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lost-season-1-wrap-up-all-the-links/305966.md?page=3)
