Entertainment Weekly has a <A HREF="http://www.peelified.com/cgi-bin/out.cgi?u=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/commentary/0,6115,1178384_3&#0124; &#0124;1045714|1_0_,00.html" TARGET=_blank>decent flash thingy</A> highlighting some parts of the map. A Lost fansite has this captioned version. And there's a ginormo version of the source map used to make the prop map here.

[Reply #122 on:]

Those captions "translate" everything written on that thing, or just some stuff?

Just some. There's some more in-depth translating here (scroll down a tad).

Interesting epsiode.

Show spoiler

Could it be that the guy who calls himself 'Henry Gale' has been in the hatch before? Like he's actually one of the test subjects? Because he immediately realized what was going on in the hatch when he said 'Lockdown'.

Why on earth would somebody use Latin for some of the inscriptions?

Anyway, I just hope (and I haven't seen the trailer yet) that next week's epsiode will pick up right there this week's epsiode ended.

[Reply #126 on:]

Maybe Henry Gale was the other guy in the balloon with the the real Henry Gale (or something) and he killed him and stole his identity.

Call the cops, he's an identity thief!! 

"Hey guys, what's going on?  "
"... Who the hell are you?!"
"It's me, Hurley!"
"...Did you lose 850 million pounds overnight and get plastic surgery?!?"
"Uhhh.... I mean, it's me, Sun..."

[Reply #127 on:]

Or he's another Henry Gale from Minnesota. You never know. 

[Reply #128 on:]

Interestingly, I was at work tonight and was bored so I ran a search for a Henry Gale, about 40-50 years old, out of Minnesota.  One of them, believe it or not, was a black male out of Wayzata, Minnesota, who had been reported as missing a few months ago.  Guess what.  His address also contains numbers from Hurley's sequence.  But the really weird thing is this:

Show spoiler

None of that story is true.  How big of a nerd do you think I am?

It's still April Fool's Day to me.

Also, I figured out where Desmond went.  He's apparently a German secret agent working a counterterrorism op in Los Angeles...or so 24 has led me to believe.

forking hell! that episode was crazy. My brain hurts!!! BUUUUUUT, no ones mentioned this, but i'm sure you all thought it. All the paths that are blocked off that lead to the centre. that must be the cemented up door. but shit, what a great episode!!!

Episode 2.21: "?"
Airdate: 5/10/06

That's not a placeholder for an unconfirmed title, that's actually what it's called. Hells yeah.

EDIT: Incidentally, that's gonna be a bitch of an episode to give an .avi title to.

[Reply #131 on:]

Well, there have been quite a few episode titles so far were some how related to the series title, like "...in Translation", "...and Found".

That makes this one interesting "Lost '?'" Heh.

Then again, it's probably a red herring and means nothing at all.

 

EDIT: Incidentally, that's gonna be a bitch of an episode to give an .avi title to.

Nah. I can tell you the name for this .avi file right now.

It will be something like "Lost.S02E21.xxxx.avi"   

[Reply #132 on:]

Unrelated to the episode, I've been reading up on buddhism and hinduism, and apparently 108 is a sacred number. A mantra is usually repeated 108 times.

as for the latest ep: Could the con guy that stole Locke's kidney be the guy that conned Sawyer's parents?

this says that "Nadia is a customer of Locke's. She is buying a house in LA, and Locke inspects it"

Sheesh Zeej, way to read the past page and a bit... 

Also, would it be possible to compress a 300mb video to like 32mb? and it still be decent...ish. OR at least viewable?

Actually, I've read that it's called "?" because that's the only/or main thing that Locke remembers from the black-light map. Maybe the map will be explained?

Edit: Yeah yeah, my reaction may have been a little too exaggerated.

[Reply #136 on:]

 

Aw, i'm sorry. i thought  forgives all. Did i not use enough?

In all seriousness and sincerity, i wasn't being mean.

[Reply #137 on:]

Zeej: Don't even get me started on the damned number 108. You know how when you start looking for something, then it's all you see? Yeah, well I see 108 all over the place now. It's not occurring more often than it used to, it's not any more significant than any other number, but it's really fucking annoying that every time I see it I think "Oh, 108. Again.".

EDIT: Chay, if you want to seem friendly, the condescending rolleyes is the least effective way of doing so.

[Reply #138 on:]

I'd like to point out that 47 appeared again in an episode.
I'm convinced it's a link to JJ Abrahms last favourite secret number which he used in Alias a lot.

You can probably do it, Nero Recode will remake a 348MB file as a 48MB .mp4 one) but it would be horribley horrible of the most horrible kind (to watch).

[Reply #139 on:]

on a PSP? Thats what i'm hoping to do, or i could steal/borrow one from work!

[Reply #140 on:]

Steal one what? A PSP?! hardcore piracy there, some would even say classic piracy.

Wear a fake beard stuck on with theatrical glue! And a cutlass!
This guide can give you the gist of how to do it.
Now all you need is a working copy of Nero & Nero Recode 2. 

[Reply #141 on:]

Yarrrr!

This useless and completely topic-unrelated post brought to you by the one and only Gocad

[Reply #142 on:]

Hmm, that post was rushed. I ment borrow/steal a bigger Memory stick duo from work. So Nero is what i need. Yay!

No kidding.  We call our officers by their badge numbers over the radio and one night we had badges 15, 16, 23, and 42 working.  Then the midnight shift lieutenant signed on and his badge number is 108.  Then I remembered badges 4 and 8 work on the day shift.  I was like, "Gasp!  Dharmafied!"

I do a lot of gasping at work.  People think I'm crazy or have some sort of respiratory problem.

I know where Walt went, My Name Is Earl stole him, he was in the last episode of it!

[Reply #146 on:]

I smell cross-over!

Earl: "I have to atone for all of my past sins. The biggest one was stranding 40 some survivors of a plane crash on a haunted island. Heck, I thought it would be funny."

[Reply #147 on:]

Randy: Hey Earl, this weird smokey stuff is trying to eat me, but it looks like I don't taste so good.. 

Incidentally, the smoke monster, called Cerberus? According to the HD map on the wall?
And my Simpsons knowledge reminds me that Cerberus is the "original dog from hell", or Greek underworld, Hades... andhe guards the gate... makes sense! 

[Reply #148 on:]

Aparantly Abrahms dismissed the Nano-bot theory. So its just smart smoke!

[Reply #149 on:]

FzR: Rousseau mentioned that the monster was the "security system," so it's very likely that the smoke monster is Cerberus. As to what Cerberus is, well, we don't know.

[Reply #150 on:]

Are there any more cool sites like Hanso Foundation? (Which seems to be down btw) Or any more "theislandiswaiting" password thingies?

That top bit doesn't make much sense, but i really can't be bother to reword it. If the dog guarded the gates of hell, it could be instead guarding the island. Also, those Vincent is evil theory are sounding truer by the second!

[Reply #151 on:]

I'd like to take credit for those "evil Vincent" theories while they're still potentially viable.

[Reply #152 on:]

Also, more about the Cerberus thing. Smoke on the battlefield is a bad omen, that they are going to die, or that Cerberus is near! HAH! must be true!!!

[Reply #153 on:]

Smoke on the battlefield is a bad omen?
Sounds more like you should get your ass some cover because they're firing cannons at ya! OLDSKOOL!!

Where do dogs sit on planes? Doggie class?
In the luggage hold with all the suitcase? LAME! 

[Reply #154 on:]

Maybe Vincent was never on the plane after all. We first see him free and by himself in the Pilot. Perhaps he used his evil mind-warping ways to confuse Walt into thinking he was his dog all along.

The hatches are all underground. Who's good at digging holes? Dogs. I rest my case.

[Reply #155 on:]

I really hate to say it, but this was obviously a filler episode. Nothing much was done to advance the overall plot. All it did was

Show spoiler

introduce Libby at the end as being in the mental institution.

Unfortunately, I have to give this episode a 75/100. It was average at best. -_-

[Reply #156 on:]

My dogs have only been good at making smaller holes bigger.  Perhaps Vincent conquered the IoM's native colony of highly advanced chipmunks.  Maybe the Others are highly advanced chipmunks.  Most of the ones I've seen look a little rodent-like.

So, good episode tonight, no?  It seems the more we learn about Henry, the less we know.  It makes me wonder if what he told Locke about the countdown was true.  I knew Locke would reject it, but I wonder what would happen if Jack heard that story.

Also, learning the more about Hurley is kind of cool, but the Libby-thing is kind of...odd.  Even odd by IoM standards.

And after seeing eyedol's post:

Show spoiler

Holy crap, she was in the institution?  My VCR cut out after she and the big Hurlucinator were smooching awkwardly.  God damn my VCR and god damn my lack of timing!

[Reply #157 on:]

Don't blame your VCR, DT88. For some reason, this episode was 65 minutes long unlike previous episodes. They didn't announce it or anything. I hate to say it, but they probably could have trimmed some off the episode.

[Reply #158 on:]

65 minutes running time?  EDIT: checked it, was 65 minutes with commercial breaks, thus it's just a few minutes longer than usual.

*checks torrents*
Great, they have the same size as those of previous epsiodes...   

Still, it remains to be seen whether these torrents have contain the complete epsiode or not.

[Reply #159 on:]

Good episode, haha, Sawyer got beat up and Jin laughed. 

Something tells me Henrys story will make Locke think twice about the button and the timer, maybe he knows he's busted and he wants the button not to be pressed and the whole world kerplode!
Although maybe he's telling the truth or it could be part of an even bigger scheme... that's probably the case. 

"Is it a Starbucks?" 

Yay! Simpsons reference: "I think Timmy fell down the well over that way..."
