First & foremost- thanks again Midlake for the promotion! And welcome Midlake fans!
here we go...
40 miles - reference to 4o acres and a mule- had to do with slavery/land owners?
305- off track. 305 is an area code in miami where juliette is from. also, It is a triangular number and the sum of a pair of twin primes (149 + 151), twins- the bad twin the book, the 2 eggs, triangle- holy trinity (jacob locke ben & bermuda triangle reference, it's also been 3 years that penny has been looking for desmond)
also- USS Skate (SS-305) was a United States Navy Balao-class submarine named for the skate, a type of ray. Ray was the name of the doctor. I also think he was in a past episode or two. all the seasons under 'the doctor" were crossed out.
dude with the tattoos was the same dude in the barracks with desmond questioning why should he call penny. was that a bat tattoo? it was a circle with something in it.
Keamy- the actor who played him had a few interesting roles - Mystery Alaska, Without A Trace, The Dead Zone & The Butterfly Effect. (oh and big momma's house 2). also if you google keamy- keamy engineering in australia comes up and keamy eye & laser center!
Omar was Sayid's superior in the Republican Guard, some time after Desert Storm. He was the one who informed Sayid of his promotion in rank from a Communications Officer to an Intelligence Officer. He also forced Sayid to interrogate his love, Nadia, whom he ordered to be tortured. Sayid shot and killed him when he witnessed Sayid trying to help Nadia escape from being held prisoner by the Republican Guard.
Sayid does not recognize Omar at all. Is he experiencing the same issues as desmond with memory loss/time space continuum (see more info below) coming to and from the island. daniel said that going too and from the island, people get confused, but not amnesia.
PS- they are both from florida! 305 area code.
Who else said i'm not supposed to be here- hurley? locke? we think it's more than one.
Why did jack put sayid on speaker phone? i just thought that was weird.
Notice the use of side effects often. seems to be a recurring theme (pregnancy on the island..)
Ferris wheel mention- the ferris wheel in london is called the london eye, folks!
All Ray wanted to do was look in Desmond's eye. an eye is the window to the soul. remember the flashbacks with the eye opening sequences. I thought there might be a theory with who gets off the island had the eye flashbacks (those that had them are the oceanic 6 but i'm not sure i can prove it).
Desmond thinks it's 1996 (8 years ago from 2004- 8 is a number)
2.342 (23 and 42 are numbers) check this out:
http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/cfr/part002/part002-0342.html
11 hertz Probe Set HZ-11 for E and H nearfield measurements is a diagnostic tool for detecting trouble spots both in the fields of EMI and EMS. Its main application is in the diagnosis of radiated emissions from printed circuit boards, ICs, cables, leakage spots in shielded enclosures, and similar sources of lectromagnetic interference. The detected emissions can be displayed on test receivers, spectrum analyzers or oscilloscopes. Since the probes are passive when operated without a preamplifier, they can also be used to find EMI-sensitive components.
"If the numbers don't convince me tell me about eloise." Eloise was a psychiatric hospital located in Michigan. the DeGroots are from Michigan. Also, Libby & Hurley were in the Santa Rosa psych ward- the location has not been determined. The Eloise hospital sold it's land to the Ford Motor Company (Sawyer's last name is Ford- am i reaching?!?!?)
George Minkowski- Minkowski possibly refers to Hermann Minkowski, the early twentieth century German mathematician-physicist who described time as a fourth dimension.
Minkowski Spacetime is the most common frame of reference for spacetime, with three physical dimensions and a single time dimension, and it is used in general relativity. Closed timelike curves (CTCs) existing in Minkowski space explain many of the mysterious features of the island (why it can't be found/seen, etc.). CTCs were linked to the Lost universe through clues from the ARG Find 815.
This connection is posited as evidence by the proponent of the HEMA theory.
With the appearance of the character of Daniel Faraday, and The Maxwell Group all named after famous scientists, this could hint that the mysterious faction to which Minkowski belongs are more like scientists than the philosophers who currently inhabit the island.
Another possibility is the phenomenological philosopher and psychiatrist Eugène Minkowski, who studied the "subjectiveness of the lived Time", and was described as having made "the first serious attempt in psychiatry to reconstruct the other person's lived experience."
Daniel tells Desmond to be careful crossing the street. He almost got hit and Charlie saved him in a flashback.
Black Rock painting at the auction is the Black Rock ship on the island, which they said was lost at sea. bidding started at 150,000 pounds and ended at 385, 000 pounds by bidder 755. any reference here?
423 cheyne walk - penny's address ( 4 and 23 are numbers)
Cheyne-Stokes respiration (also known as periodic breathing) is an abnormal pattern of breathing characterized by oscillation of ventilation between apnea and hyperpnea, to compensate for changing serum partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
The condition was named after John Cheyne and William Stokes, the physicians who described it.
This abnormal pattern of breathing can be seen in patients with strokes, traumatic brain injuries, brain tumors, and congestive heart failure. In some instances, it can occur in otherwise normal people during sleep at high altitudes. It can occur in all forms of toxic metabolic encephalopathy.[1] It is a symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning, along with syncope or coma. This type of respiration is also often seen after morphine administration. Also, there are headaches from the time travel. And Daniel said there is prolonged exposure to radiation but "nothing to the head'
Could this also be the cause of bleeding from the nose? Didn't the marshall bleed from the nose?
79460893- there has to be some meaning to these numbers.
"if anything goes wrong desmond hume will be my constant". they will both remember each other when things go awry. also a Constants are real numbers or numerical values which are significantly interesting in some way. The term "constant" is used both for mathematical constants and for physical constants, but with quite different meanings.
Time Paradox- the creators of lost are all for this- see the EW article in one of the comments & wiki it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-space_continuum
Also- here's another random theory- is kate's mom karen degroot? (karen degroot was the founder of the dharma initiative) all members of lost have trouble relationships- could it be they were once on the island but don't remember?

Season 4, Episode 4
Ok- sorry this is late but i went to the bravery last nite and got home too late to post. welcome new members! enjoy reading.
I'd also like to point out that "sayid is my boyfriend'" aka my sister karen made numerous fantastic comments that everyone should read under my vincent -top 8 post. check them out.
- The Invention of Morel by Adolfo Bioy Casares is the book Sawyer is reading. The story is about a fugitive who hides on a deserted island somewhere in the South Pacific.
- the book locke gave Ben - VALIS by Philip K. Dick. Known as science fiction only for lack of a better category, "Valis" takes place in our world and may even be semi-autobiographical. It is a fool's search for God, who turns out to be a virus, a joke, and a mental hologram transmitted from an orbiting satellite. The proponent of the novel, Horselover Fat, is thrust into a theological quest when he receives communion in a burst of pink laser light. From the cancer ward of a bay area hospital to the ranch of a fraudulent charismatic religious figure who turns out to have a direct com link with God, Dick leads us down the twisted paths of Gnostic belief, mixed with his own bizarre and compelling philosophy. Truly an eye opening look at the nature of consciousness and divinity.
- locke mentions the last two eggs- perhaps someone will have twins? the manuscript found on the plane was "the bad twin".
- kate said this isn't a democracy and locke said if i was a dictator, i would just shoot you and go about my day. seems like locke is turning into evil! he also later tells Miles he's responsible for the well being of these people on the island. dicatator!
- Locke had blood on the hands from killing a chicken- eggs come from chickens. eggs/fertility. also could be a sign of the devil at work- to be responsible for someone's death.
-Hurley said "you Scooby Doo’d me ". At the beginning of every Scooby Doo episode, the Mystery, Inc. gang bump into some type of evil ghost or monster or supernatural force, which they learn has been terrorizing the local populace and they work together to solve the mystery. Also, a dog plays a major role - Vincent!!!
- Who would Kate want to see on the island?
- she would get 15 years or 7 years. 15 is the number on the rabbit in one of the Dharma videos.
- When Jack is on the stand he says only 8 survived, but it's the oceanic 6. who are the two that die? he is protecting the others, as a Shephard (his last name) protects its flock. And when he flips out later on, he tells Kate they have to go back for the others. Also Sawyer later says baaaahhh.
- Xanadu- song playing by Hurley.
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round:
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
Also the movie plost for Xanadu- Sonny Malone (Michael Beck) is a talented artist who dreams of fame beyond his job, which is painting larger versions of album covers for record-store window advertisements. As the film opens, Sonny is broke and on the verge of giving up his dream. Having quit his day job to try to make a living as a freelance artist, but having failed to make any money at it, Sonny returns to his old job at AirFlo Records. After some humorous run-ins with his imperious boss and nemesis Simpson, he resumes painting record covers. Hurley was drawing in the mental ward and he's always playing music.
- The Dharma Red Wine box had the numbers 731. 7 + 3= 10 + 1 = 11 1+1= 2. 2 eggs.
- Backgammon. Locke taught Walt how to play. Locke is now the black piece and we think he used to be white when he played against Walt. Good vs Evil. Locke explained the rules of Backgammon to Walt, mentioning that "There are two players. One side is light, and one side is dark."
- Sawyer says "Bruce Lee" from the Freighter, referring to Miles. Miles is DEFINITELY the son of Dr. Marvin Candle, which is why he is back on the island for revenge. Ben off'd all the Dharma people and Dr. Candle worked for Dharma. Revenge for the Father.
I'd also like to point out that "sayid is my boyfriend'" aka my sister karen made numerous fantastic comments that everyone should read under my vincent -top 8 post. check them out.

- The chair Miles escaped from looked like an execution chair.
- 3.2 Million dollars. Jesus died at the age of 32. Also, The Oceanic Manifesto 815. 8 + 1 + 5 = 14 1+ 4= 5 5 = 3 & 2
Ben was born 32 miles from Portland.
- Queen of Diamonds card. In doing research I came across a lot of Chinese references- Bruce Lee. Xanadu was an ancient Chinese city. Also, in the Paris court card traditional names, it stands for Rachel- the second wife of Jacob. There are many Rachel's on the show- Juliette's sister, Kate's ex boyfriend's Tom's wife, Claire's friend that takes her to the psychic & Rachel Blake the blogger.
- 3- referred to frequently. The Father, Son & Holy Spirit.
- Hurley- Sawyer called him Montezuma. The portrayal of Moctezuma in history has mostly been colored by his role as ruler of a defeated nation, and many sources describe him as weak-willed and indecisive.
- as a side note- how AWFUL was the editing while sawyer was in bed with kate. his hair kept changing!
- one deal made for kate was 4 years. 4 is a number.
- Clouds in Aaron's room.
- the episode where Claire has the nightmares during her pregnancy is called "raised by another'. we now know it's not the adopotive family in california - but kate!
- Aaron-Kate is ok with not leaving California. Later on she clearly doesn't want to go back. Is it because Claire is still alive and she's taken Aaron as her own and doesn't want Claire to have him? Also she doesn't want her own mother to see him. And why is it hard for Jack to see his own nephew (which he may not know is his nephew yet) - is it because he knows that that's not really Kate's son but Claire's and she is still alive but not raising him and he has a problem with that truth. Also- is Aaron techincally one of the Oceanic 6? also, the credits have him as a two year old boy.

Season 4, Episode 3
happy valentine's day!
ahhh.. a sayid episode- shout out to my two ladies on the lost blog that love sayid as much as i do!
karen said there was last week's episode before with the captions and towards the end they held up ben linus' picture and it said proof that ben lied about geting off the island. this proves to be true because we see the passports & foreign currency. he went to the island as a young boy but obviously manages to get off. also- he did tell juliette she could leave. there was a submarine that he told jack they could leave on but locke blew it up.
five iron golf club- is also known as a mashie, which is an egg shaped golf club - eggs/fertility (spoiler alert! next week's episode is named eggtown and revolves around kate!) also the losties have known to partake in golfing for fun on the island!
the golfing man's name- mr. avellino. he turns out to be elsa's boss. In 1943 the city was bombed by Allied planes in an attempt to cut off the retreat of German panzer units over the important Bridge of Ferriera. they are in Berlin.
sayid says he's a head hunter- interesting choice!
the tailies keep getting mentioned- what is the meaning?
RC on Naomi's bracelet. three theories on RC:
- Desmond's ex-fiance is named Ruth Campbell. Ruth's name means "friend/companion". In the Bible, Ruth was the young Moabite widow who said to her Hebrew mother-in-law Naomi, "Where you go, there I shall go also; your people will be my people, your God, my God".
- Rita. no last name but she is the person on the boat that Dan is trying to make contact with.
- Rachel Carson. Juliette's sister who couldn't get pregnant because of the Cancer but then got pregnant. In the Old Testament, Rachel was the wife and true love of Jacob. Rachel was barren for a long period of time, until finally she gave birth to both Joseph and Benjamin.
Did Sayid know Naomi from the past? He closed Elsa's eyes the same way he did with Naomi. "Naomi" was the name of the personal helicopter pilot/assistant to "Karl Stromberg" in the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me
Elsa- name is a variant of Elizabeth. Desmond's boat is name Elizabeth and it's also Libby's name. The Biblical name Elizabeth refers to Mary's cousin who became pregnant at a very old age with her first child by a miracle. That child was John the Baptist. (John Locke).
haha- random trivia- The name of the actor who played the Sleestak leader in Season Three of the 1970s TV show Land of the Lost was Jon Locke.
Sayid said maybe Desmond can shed some light
Sawyer called Locke gizmo. a gizmo is obviously a tech term. Sayid calls out Elsa's beeper saying "your boss doesn't believe in any other more modern forms of technology?"' Also- Gizmo was the pet in Gremlins. In Gremlins the main character's girlfriend's name is Kate.
Sawyer was going to threaten Ben by blowing off toes one by one- the piggy first-then the roast beef- reference to the foot statue.
When Sayid says everyone has a boss.. it was foreshadowing of who is boss is!
Numbers that dan was using that didn't match up. what was he doing?
The Economist- David Hume is a famous economist. Hume is Desmond's last name. the name Hume can refer to many people:
Australian superintendent of convicts and farmer
Scottish Statesmen
British political reformer during the Age of Enlightenment
also means philosophers, explorers, politicians, historians,
Also- check out New World Order.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_world_order
Desmond and Sayid are Economists, along with Naomi. They get on the plane.
The List- when Ben first called for the losties to come he made a list. Sayid also referenced names on a list during this episode.
Follow same bearing we came in on- someone is messing with the electrocurrents!
Dogs- when Sayid walked in to get his arm fixed there were a lot of dogs. Is Ben cloning dogs? there was a weird poster too i couldn't make out.
Also- i thought the dogs looked like Vincent but they were different. I looked up Labs- Common working roles for Labradors include: hunting, tracking and detection, disabled-assistance, carting, and therapy work. Also, labradors are skilled at carrying delicate objects in their mouths, such as eggs.
Theories:
michael's ex wife susan moved to italy -elsa's boss was italian- and michael's ex wife looked like naomi. susan's husband, her old boss, arranged for michael and walt to be on the flight. susan/naomi are working for hanso or dharma. there is some connection with sayid and susan to naomi.
whew! at first i thought i had nothing here- but a LOT happened.
also- thanks to dan kruchkow for sending this link:

Season 4, Episode 2
hi everyone. i started a blog. yey! sorry this took a lot of looking stuff up.
Welcome new members Julie, Yamil, Doug's Cousin & Pete Galli!
- the opening video is same from oceanic commerical from last week
- don't hold your breath- reference to charlie?
- keep dreaming
- there was a wallet in the bottom of the ocean with an identification- what was it?
- an electrical storm brought them down- that always happens - things go down (the song charlie keyed in was good vibrations)
- sawyer calls lock colonel kurtz
Kurtz belongs to a series of Romantic heroes whose suppressed or sublimated desires lead them to a fractured psyche. Victor Frankenstein in Frankenstein, and Prometheus in Prometheus Unbound, as well as the central figure of Edgar Allan Poe's "William Wilson," all ended up displacing their evil into other creatures. Besides these, the character of Kurtz does not resist a Nietzschean interpretation, being a sort of "Overman" whose fractured persona resembles a kind of Dionysian genius, fully aware of his desire for power and utter solitude.
Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 film Apocalypse Now features a character named "Kurtz", who was based on Conrad's character. The cast of Apocalypse Now was instructed by Coppola to read Heart of Darkness.
Timothy Findley's 1993 novel Headhunter features Kurtz's escape from Heart of Darkness and subsequent reign of terror over the city of Toronto as the psychiatrist-in-chief at the Parkin Institute.
- is miles featured in a past episode as someone's friend? hurley's? cop? he kinda looks like dr. marvin candle! (fyi the name miles means soldier/pilgrim leader)
- sawyer called ben yoda- he is the WISE ONE! there are always star wars references. in a galaxy far far away. we keep hearing he's the good one.
- tunisia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunisia
- polar bear in the desert, goes back to polar bar/walt saw the polar bear. last week hurley was drawing an igloo.
- scorpio in dharma logo. a scorpio has 6 legs, 6 is a number.
- 888-548-0034- i called it. it's basically a hotline for families. it said it din't have any updated info, gave their apologies to family members who lost someone in the flight and they have daily briefings and investigations regarding the flight. they also said to check back formore info.
- seth norris, the pilotIn a deleted flashback scene (depicted in extras on Disc 7 of Season 1 DVD collection), Seth had a conversation with Claire at the airport restaurant before the flight. He promised her a "smooth ride". During the same extra, he stated that his mother's boyfriend was named Bernard. This being a deleted scene, it may not necessarily be canon.
In the making of the pilot episode, it is revealed that the pilot was added in later into production as Jack had originally been planned to be killed off in "Pilot". The pilot's body that was found hanging in the tree was also originally intended to be Jack's.
He was the first crash survivor to be killed by the "Monster" and it took until Day 72 when the "Monster" found its second victim, Eko.
- interesting. locke asked about the monster.seth was killed by the monster and was referenced in this episode. also, when frank lapidus landed the hellicopter he said it was a smooth ride as well. also, he said he always wore a wedding ring. is dharma putting substitues on the plane?
- cow - frank saw one when he woke up. not sure what to make except there are always weird animals on the island.
- sawyer calls locke taller ghost wallet? i replayed this several times and still cant' quite understand but google it and i got a link for beliefs on ghosts spirits and witches about putting money in a wallet.
- locke kept calling sawyer james-
james is derived from the same Hebrew name as Jacob, meaning "grasps by the heel" (in the Genesis narrative, Jacob was born grasping Esau's heel and later bought his birthright). The Epistle of James is a book in the Christian New Testament. The author identifies himself as "James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ", traditionally understood as James the Just, the brother of Jesus (see Authorship and Composition).
Framed within an overall theme of patient perseverance during trials and temptations, the text condemns various sins and calls on Christians to be patient while awaiting the imminent Second Coming.
- dharma put fake people on the flight that worked for them internally. the older pilot guy said no- that's not the guy that flew the plane bc he said he always wore a wedding ring.
i looked up all the mraning of the names:
Ben Linus- Linus (in Greek, Linos) may refer to any of three sons of Apollo from Greek mythology:
Son of Apollo and Urania, he was killed by Apollo during a contest.
Son of Apollo and Psamathe, whose father was the King of Argos. She feared her father and gave the infant Linus to shepherds to raise. He was torn apart by dogs after reaching adulthood and Psamathe was killed by her father, for which Apollo sent a child-killing plague to Argos.
Son of Apollo and Terpsichore, he taught music to Orpheus and Heracles. Heracles killed him with Linus's own lyre after he reprimanded Heracles for making errors. According to other sources, he was the son of the muse Kalliope and the inventor of melody and rhythm. [1]
Other sources have Linus as the son of the muse Urania and Amphimarus (a son of Poseidon). He was killed by Apollo because he rivalled the god in his musical skill.
Charlotte Staples lewis Charlotte Staples Lewis is a reference to the British writer and scholar, Clive Staples Lewis. Lewis is most famous for his works in medieval literature, Christian apologetics, and literay criticism. Both C.S. Lewises attended Oxford University.
Miles Straume The name 'Miles Straume' is a play on the word "maelstrom", which means a powerful whirlpool or a swirling mass of water
Frank Lapidus- name origin- There's a Rick Lapidus in the Exposé script
The name is an anagram for "Farads link up." The Farad is a unit of electrical capacitance, named after physicist Michael Faraday.
A physician named Lapidus developed a technique for treating a condition of the big toe (bunions) caused by excessive bone growth.
THE BIG TOE STATUE!!!!
Daniel Faraday-name origin- Michael Faraday (September 22, 1791 – August 25, 1867) was an English physicist who researched electromagnetism. Michael Faraday's discoveries led to the development of Faraday cages, an enclosure used to block outside radio and electromagnetic waves. James Clerk Maxwell took the work of Faraday, and others, and consolidated it with a set of equations that form the basis of modern theories of electromagnetic phenomena.

Welcome new members Julie, Yamil, Doug's Cousin & Pete Galli!
- the opening video is same from oceanic commerical from last week
- don't hold your breath- reference to charlie?
- keep dreaming
- there was a wallet in the bottom of the ocean with an identification- what was it?
- an electrical storm brought them down- that always happens - things go down (the song charlie keyed in was good vibrations)
- sawyer calls lock colonel kurtz
Kurtz belongs to a series of Romantic heroes whose suppressed or sublimated desires lead them to a fractured psyche. Victor Frankenstein in Frankenstein, and Prometheus in Prometheus Unbound, as well as the central figure of Edgar Allan Poe's "William Wilson," all ended up displacing their evil into other creatures. Besides these, the character of Kurtz does not resist a Nietzschean interpretation, being a sort of "Overman" whose fractured persona resembles a kind of Dionysian genius, fully aware of his desire for power and utter solitude.
Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 film Apocalypse Now features a character named "Kurtz", who was based on Conrad's character. The cast of Apocalypse Now was instructed by Coppola to read Heart of Darkness.
Timothy Findley's 1993 novel Headhunter features Kurtz's escape from Heart of Darkness and subsequent reign of terror over the city of Toronto as the psychiatrist-in-chief at the Parkin Institute.
- is miles featured in a past episode as someone's friend? hurley's? cop? he kinda looks like dr. marvin candle! (fyi the name miles means soldier/pilgrim leader)
- sawyer called ben yoda- he is the WISE ONE! there are always star wars references. in a galaxy far far away. we keep hearing he's the good one.
- tunisia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunisia
- polar bear in the desert, goes back to polar bar/walt saw the polar bear. last week hurley was drawing an igloo.
- scorpio in dharma logo. a scorpio has 6 legs, 6 is a number.
- 888-548-0034- i called it. it's basically a hotline for families. it said it din't have any updated info, gave their apologies to family members who lost someone in the flight and they have daily briefings and investigations regarding the flight. they also said to check back formore info.
- seth norris, the pilotIn a deleted flashback scene (depicted in extras on Disc 7 of Season 1 DVD collection), Seth had a conversation with Claire at the airport restaurant before the flight. He promised her a "smooth ride". During the same extra, he stated that his mother's boyfriend was named Bernard. This being a deleted scene, it may not necessarily be canon.
In the making of the pilot episode, it is revealed that the pilot was added in later into production as Jack had originally been planned to be killed off in "Pilot". The pilot's body that was found hanging in the tree was also originally intended to be Jack's.
He was the first crash survivor to be killed by the "Monster" and it took until Day 72 when the "Monster" found its second victim, Eko.
- interesting. locke asked about the monster.seth was killed by the monster and was referenced in this episode. also, when frank lapidus landed the hellicopter he said it was a smooth ride as well. also, he said he always wore a wedding ring. is dharma putting substitues on the plane?

Season 4, Episode 1
sorry to those in LA & TX- please read after you see. and welcome new members jim & robin roppo!
again, don't be shy on the reply alls- we welcome your thoughts!
here are my random observations for this week's episode. enjoy.
- why does jack say he's SICK (of lying) in last yr's episode. does he have the plague or will he? st. sebastian- patron st of the plague.
- action 8 news- 8 is a number
- oceanic 6- only 6 people get off the island. i think claire gets off the island - sorry- spoiler alert dan! i bet everyone winds up dying except for a few but hurley survives bc of his weight.
- camaro- same yr as the van?
- oranges- crashed into oranges/jack drinking oj- oranges grow in tropical climates- juliette is from florida.
- the cop with hurley was anna lucia's partner
- cannonball - the breeders. remember friends
- all the musical references in the show! breeders-the island is for breeding!
- is hurley now having chaly's visions? or desmond's?
- rose's weird message to claire about chaly. gizmo/busy signal. there was a weird alliteration.
- 6 hours from now.. we are sitting on that boat.. (jack) 6!
- connect 4. 4 is a number. he played connect 4 before the crash.
- tropical island stuff (including a shark which is a lost animal) drawn on the blackboard in the background where hurley is staying in the nuthous origin,
- george-the guy naomi was talking to on the phone- The boy's name George and its meaning is farmer .
George, a knight who became the patron saint of England, achieved legendary status through the medieval story of his struggle with a fire -breathing dragon, symbolic of the devil
- matthew abbedel? who visited hurley in the nuthouse of oceanic flight - The boy's name Matthew It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is gift Biblical- the name of one of the apostles, who wrote the first Gospel account of the life of Jesus.
- hurley painting an igloo. there's a dharma station somewhere cold! and there was a polar bear- another lost animal
-notice the shadowing on jack's face while he tried to shoot locke- light vs dark/good vs evil- thru the looking glass. ying and yang- always.
. the us vs them
- 100 years - what is the meaning
2 commercials that ran that were weird
duma key- the stephen king book- it said return not guaranteed
It would be impossible to convey the wonder and the horror of Stephen King's latest novel in just a few words. Suffice it to say that Duma Key, the story of Edgar Freemantle and his recovery from the terrible nightmare-inducing accident that stole his arm and ended his marriage, is Stephen King's most brilliant novel to date (outside of the Dark Tower, in which case each is arguably his best work). Duma Key is as rich and rewarding as Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption (yes, that Shawshank Redemption) and as truly scary as anything King has saying. Readers who have always wanted to try Stephen King but never known where to start should try a few pages of Duma Key--the frankness with which Edgar reveals his desperate, sputtering rages and thoughts of suicide is King at the top of his game. And that's just the first thirty pages...
jack, locke, and others have attempted suicide. jack's marriage ending!
and right before that was the hawaii tourism commercial check out the shot of the guy looking thru the rearview mirror- LOOKING GLASS WHY is their site still down if in the flash forwards, oceanic is back in business offering frequent fliers to the survivors.
i'm trying to stay awake for this damn commercial but don't want to sit thru eli stone!
