'Lost'

[Reply #120 on:]

Yah know I am wondering where they are going to go with the whole...

Show spoiler

Walt is a crazy psychic thing.  I mean, him with the knife, knowing something was gonna happen on the boat, and the bird thing in his flashback.  Also, Im almost kinda pissed that they are adding so many more characters next week!  This is hard enough to follow as it is!  I hope they dont suddenly go to "Lost" on the other side, and go through all of thier stories, catching up to current time, and then get back to walt and the others next season :/

Walt also said to Michael "No, we have to leave" or something like that, just after he told him he was the one who set fire to the first raft, remember?

Did anyone notice, when Mike and Sawyer were adrift on the pontoon in the morning, in the top left of the screen on the horizon, you could vaguely make out a shape of a boat with a mast?
Either it's a goof or someone was sailing not too far from the island.
Also, how the hell did Mike not see the damn island?! He couldn't have had his head in his hands all night and sunrise!!

Yay! Jin survives!
And those damn numbers appeared again.

I've been reading up, the numbers "4 8 15 16 23 42" equal 108, the number on Desmonds murel(sp?). Also, the logo on the shark, creepy. what are your speculation on the countdown thing? i've been reading stuff that has suggested, since Desmond thinks that he is the only survivor from some worldwide doomsday thing (nuclear bomb) and that the only other survivors are sick (radiation poisoning) and maybe him entering the numbers has something to do with stoping the whole place from self destructing. something i want to add, is that when he says, "Are you him?" maybe he is talking about someone to replace him. Also, i was so right about the quarentine thing and it being on the inside!!!

My dad loves watching Lost so I have been putting episodes on my blank DVD for him.

Faze!

What if walt knew he was going to be taken?  That he was "the kid" and not the baby, so he was scaraficing himself to leave, so people on the island could chill out and not worry about a missing kid!

Also, the 108.  Watching it, it was moving too fast to be counting down days, and I would think hours then, but from what I remember, it was at 2:45(last two numbers I dont remember) and it was reset to 108:..  To me, thats signifying minutes.  Remember, he also did it right we he woke up the first time we saw him.

Edit:

Through conversation with Chay, I decided to look up the apollo candy that kate ate.  Its real.  Discontinued, but real.  I wouldnt expect this from any other show, but if we could find when it was discontinued - we might have a better idea of how long desmond was under there.  Also Check this out  http://lost-forum.com/showthread.php?t=14177

Yes I saw that! I wasnt sure what it was though cause im wacthing them on my comp(bad resolutions n all). I thought it could have been the Island at first but they were out there for a long time.

Faze, you seem to be a crazy gun expert. How many bullets would have been in that gun? Sawyer shoots one, and I think Michael shoots 5. Then he leaves the gun on the raft when he gets on the pontoon. Would there be any bullets left? Even if there weren't, they'd still have a gun to scare "the others" away. Silly Michael.

[Reply #129 on:]

Nice Faze, i was trying to get a screenie of that on the shark, but the stupid layer thingy wouldn't let me. Amy's Edit bit makes a lot of sense.

[Reply #130 on:]

Jeremiah Zachariah Jebediah: If I remember correctly, the guns I heard mentioned on the show were at least five Glocks and one Sig (Sig 9?)

Standard 9mm Glocks hold 17 rounds.
Sigs hold less than Glocks though, the standard ones are smaller.

I looked at the Adrift episode again and Sawyer looks like he has a Beretta, which usually holds 15-17 rounds too.

Some real gun nuts can jump in here any time.

Chay: They're selling t-shirts with that logo and the numbers printed on the back on some website.

Dharma is mainly a Buddhist thing, meaning "protection", or "middle path", a way of life that's not too good, not too bad type of thing.
The swan kinda looks like Yin and Yang, but other than that I've no idea what the feck it means.
The octagon with the dashes around the edge is more asian philosophy stuff.

[Reply #131 on:]

Wow, read this

Interesting Info about Dharma

Show spoiler

i think the bit about how the shark's symbol is slightly different, may have been read to deeply, i think it may just be that it was only on screen for about a second, so they didn't use as much detail this time

EDIT: OOOH!

Show spoiler

Cause this is to do with religion and the like, could the reason Locke took his shoes of, be because he could sense/saw something that suggested that this was a holy place? you know, where you have to take your shoes off to enter?

[Reply #132 on:]

Neato.
Or he did it because they were wet. Both good reasons. 

[Reply #133 on:]

yeah, i was thinking that, but the focused to much on them. There was shot later on, which specifically made us see again, that he had no shoes on.

From the preview for this week, Desmond leaves the hatch, and hurley goes in (i wonder how he manages that?)

[Reply #134 on:]

Show spoiler

There was a logo on the freaking shark?  This is why I shouldn't watch TV while I'm at work.  Not because I might miss stuff related to work, but because I miss stuff that happens on TV.

That reminds me, as I was watching four straight episodes from my newly acquired "Lost" DVDs, I have to ask: is the girl in Jack's flashback from the season 2 premier the same girl he tells Kate about in the season 1 premier?  If memory serves, the ages may have been different, and if that's the case, Jack seems to have good luck when it comes to surgeries gone wrong on women.

And about the Desmond theories: I once saw part of a Twilight Zone or somesuch where a soldier was placed in a deep, subterranian bunker because the Earth was under attack from aliens or something.    If the humans won, he would be released and everything would be hunky-dory.  If the humans were being overrun, this soldier's job was to trigger a super weapon that would destroy the aliens and most of the humans on the planet.  There was also a firebreak system that if the bunker were somehow breached and the soldier was unable to enter a code into the computer, the weapon would detonate.  Anyway, not totally relevant but there are a few visible parallels.

Yee-haw!     

Fazey, what's a Sig 9? Is it something like a Glock 7?   

Seriously, I wouldn't bother counting how many rounds were fired, because if there is something the producers don't care about then it is continuity issues regarding firearms.

As I mentioned on the previous page of this thread, they already had problems keeping a SigPRO from a classic Sig apart.

Example:
- Pilot, part 2
Sawyer shoots the polar bear with the Marshall's gun. The close up shows clearly that it's a Sig PRO.
- Homecoming
Sawyer pulls out the Marshall's gun again, but this time it's a Sig226.

Besides, Kate said that all pistols in the briefcase were 9mm guns, yet Jack's gun that was then picked up by Charlie looked more like a Sig 232, which doesn't use 9mm rounds...

Meh. That's much more fun...

What's interesting is that Oceanic Airlines did appear in other movies and TV series as well.
One could say it's Hollywood's favorite disaster airline.

Not anymore, I guess. 

[Reply #138 on:]

Gocad: I thought I heard Sawyer say he had a sig 9, as in 9mm!

Find the hidden trivia question on that webpage?
It lets you sign up for some ABC newsletter thingy.

[Reply #139 on:]

In that case it appears to be that the Glock 7 from Die Hard II has a brother now... 

[Reply #140 on:]

Gocad, on that sites main page, if you highlight all of the "sorry we're closed" text on the main page. You also get a few "help i'm stuck on a island" messages, its weird. Also, if you didn't get it, click on the barcode and type "theislandiswaiting" on my site.

um Wednesday 8/9c...or 7/8c

Too bad it wasn't a Glock 7.  The Marshall could have snuck it aboard with him.  They don't set off metal detectors, you know.

Seriously, I agree about not caring about the gun-related continuity issues.  I'd especially ignore them if the producers can say, "Hey, we've got tropical polar bears, invisible monsters, and healed cripples.  Maybe the island miracled more bullets into that gun."

HE MARRIED HER? OMFG.  Im not sure what that means but I litterly yelled out loud.  Holy shit this ep.  Much better than last weeks.  Dr t, your thoughts are suspisously close.  Also, that new lady is a bitch.  I dont like her, except that she punched out sawyer.  And, the spoiler for next week...JIN = English?  WTF!

Besides that, I just have to say that Locke is an extrodinary actor.

Ha. Really? Of all the things in this episode, that's most deserving of an "oh my god"?

Why didn't Sawyer pull the gun out on "Shaft"?
And how the horsefuck did he get the gun anyway? Michael left it on the raft. Cheater!

[Reply #147 on:]

Show spoiler

Sawyer is a sneaky bastard.  He probably fell of the raft, climbed back on, stole the gun, dove back into the water, punched the shark in the nads, and stole its lunch money.

Oh and I got to thinking about the "DHARMA" logo.  Those hashmarks between the swan and the octagon look a lot like I Ching notations if you disregard the swan.  I can't imagine that's a coincidence.  The "Images" I understand from looking at it are "At the foot of the mountain, the lake", "The lake has risen up to heaven", "Fire over water", and "Within the earth, a mountain."  Of course, I can't be sure which direction they're supposed to be read.  The backwards 'R' (and maybe 'M' and 'A' as well) doesn't help.

It is Dharma. You'll hear it in the new episode.

Notice that there's a light behind Jin when he's speaking English. Since next week's episode is called "Everybody Hates Hugo," I'm assuming all of the flashbacks will be about Hurley, not Jin. So if it's not a flashback, where's the light from? Maybe he's projecting himself into the hatch, Walt-style. Or maybe they found another hatch? Dun dun dun.   Dun.

Amy, i don't see why the "I MARRIED HER!" line made you shout...i think i missed the significance, didn't we already know that? Also, i knew that she was bad! Even though amy said you won't like her, i sorta picked up on it. Stupid hurley!!! and Jin...hmm, its so confusing, seriously go to www.oceanicflight815.com  click the barcode and type "theislandiswaiting" for a funny fake script of ep 6. Also, i can't remember, but was "Swan" the 3rd colony? if so, the video was 3 of 6, so are there 5 others? Seriously, the guy who plays locke is an amazing actor.

Damaste, which is said by the asian scientist and is mentioned a few times on that link, is a hindu greeting, so that supports all of those hindu connections to the numbers, like the 108 sins etc.

Some other things, the black guy the "other" could possibly be the black lady from the first seasons hubby, and also, we have seen Ana, or whatever her name was before, she was talking to jack in the airport remember?

[Reply #156 on:]

I doubt it. He looks younger than her. Also, he has an accent. I wouldn't expect her husband to be so strong.

[Reply #157 on:]

Nope, that guy is not Bernard.

Unless the IMDb lied Bernard will appear in the next episode (2.4), as will Rose.

The 'R' is the right way on the site.  And the I Ching shit blinks on in a certain order.  I wonder if that's significant.

Also, I noticed that hexagrams #15, 16, and 42 appear in the logo although #15 is the same as #16 except that it's inverted.  I can't find #4 or 8, though.
