A couple of things I picked up whilst poking around on Wikipedia that I hadn't noticed / thought were interesting.

The link doesn't work.

And I placed that number in google maps and I got a small area between Australia and LA. Must be a small island if anything at all...

Sorry bout the link. It was linking to this image, which shows a faded Dharma logo on Flight 815.

As for the map, I just thought it was intriguing, as those are "the numbers", and their coordinates are in the Pacific inbetween LA and Australia.

The link says this:

Originally posted by wikipedia
Another possible easter egg can be found on the successfull map system Google Earth. By entering the famous fictional number sequence from Lost "4 8 15 16 23 42" into Google Earth you are taken a small island which appears to be unpopulated. Some believe this may be the island where Lost is set but instead of being inbetween Sydney and Los Angeles in the Pacific Ocean the island at these co-ordinates is infact just of the West coast of Africa suggesting that this is a simple coincidence and not related to Lost itself. However, the supposed Google Earth 'easter egg' also might also be explained in that in one episode of Lost, a small plane from Nigeria somehow manages to get to the island (in a vision of Locke's which turns out to be real). How could a small craft like the one which is shown make its way from Nigeria to where the island is meant to be? Also, entering the coordinates 4.815 162.342 gives you a small island of the Western coast of Africa which has lead many lost fanatics to question whether or not the survivors are infact in the pacific ocean at all.


Sadly Google Earth doesn't want to work for me. And if I put the coordinates "4 8 15 16 23 42" I get some place in Africa (using Google maps) and if I put the coordinates you posted I get that area between LA and Australia that I mentioned earlier (Also using Google Maps)

I assume using Google Earth gets you a different place...

...That is brilliant. The fact that they would incorporate the location in the numbers as well as everything else they mean... holy crap. It confuses me a little, because I thought they were off track 2000+ miles... but I guess not.

And Nick beat me to it! I could have sworn that image had been shown before, but I couldn't figure out where. I looked around for it and saw that same picture. That makes me think that maybe the plane was PLANNED to crash on the island... but why?
This show is amazing.

I was also reading about the various books/short stories shown in Lost.

One of them is An Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge, and while I hope the ending of that story isn't the important part, here's a quote I thought you might find interesting:

"Overhead, as he looked up through this rift in the wood, shone great golden stars looking unfamiliar and grouped in strange constellations. He was sure they were arranged in some order which had a secret and malign significance. The wood on either side was full of singular noises, among which--once, twice, and again--he distinctly heard whispers in an unknown tongue."



Another book shown was The Third Policeman, which I found this about at wikipedia:

"Contributing to the atmosphere of illogic is a series of digressions and footnotes by the narrator on the subject of de Selby and his highly unorthodox theories (he believes the phenomenon of nighttime to be explainable as an accretion of 'black air'), as well as extended discussions of de Selby's various critics"

I find the second one much more interesting, because they have yet to further explain wtf that "black smoke monster" was. And I still very much want to know.

How long do you think it took Abrams and the writers of Lost to make all of these things come together like this?

QUOTED FOR EMPHASIS

That pissed me off so much. I mean wtf, you have the timer run out, and then RUIN IT SECONDS LATER. dsllsljkklkjsffsdfdskl
I look forward to seeing what happens, if they do that. But the break does suck.

The flashback with Claire was awesome. Answers a lot of questions about what happened to Claire, and the baby stopped crying at the end! EUREKA!!!!!

I have already decided to buy this season DVD's.

Simply because I haven't been paying attention to the episodes. Yes, I watch them but...the fact that nothing is really happening and the fact that the new episodes seem to come one week then two weeks later and such irks me.

Last episode was good though. Mighty good.

The fact that I was home and actually forgot about it sucks.

The fact that you said "Holy shit" and made it seem so awesome, makes it suck even more.

Well, luckily for you, ABC has started putting their good shows online.

So...

Spoiler:
My friends and I all figured that Michael was an other, but we totally did not expect him to shoot two people. I was expecting him to kill Henry, actually.

And finally, someone got it on on the island! Ana Lucia will say she wanted the gun, but come on, she totally wanted to jump Sawyer's bones, too.

There were some great funny moments in the show too, like Jin giving Hurley the thumbs up, and Locke saying to Jack "There's something I need to tell you..."


All in all, one of the best episodes I can remember.

Actually. I get this

Nothing is clickable and I went through the menus and all that, and I managed to appear where I started.

But I already know what happens. As soon as you made your first post I went and checked wiki. Strangely enough I was reading an actress' bio when I found out what happened.

I know Danielle has much to say. Almost went into hysterics after watching it.

Ah, that sucks. I guess I should say that ABC made their shows available online for those in the US, then.

Wow, just wow
I don't think Michael is one of Them, but he was lying.
How can they have two guns, if Jack & co. dropped six guns when they met the Others at "the line"? I think Michael is trading with the Others, maybe Walt for Locke.

Spoiler:
Libby's not dead, that's my guess.
She was holding a blanket in front of her, and there might be something between her and the blankets. Besides, in the preview for next week, Hurley doesn't look to upset about it.

Well, I saw the new episode, and wow...
Spoiler:
I can't belive they're pushing that button every 108 minutes just so whoever's in the ? hatch can observe them.

Yeah, why the hell does Echo think pushing the button is so important? Does he think that by pushing it they'll get another plane to fly by and be rescued? Also, I don't think Michael is an other, he's just doing what he thinks he needs to do to get his son back. And I don't think it's a trade of Locke for Walt, more like a trade of the other's being able to take everyone because they most definately have more than two guns, for his son.

Echo thinks the island is more than it seems because of the dreams he's having with his brother. Sort of like what Locke thought when he realized he could walk, and how Rose thinks the island is the cure to her cancer or whatever. I'm not too sure what to think anymore... I'll be so disappointed if the whole 108 minutes thing is just an experiment. There's gotta be more to it.

One thing I noticed, and Thoughtless can back me up on this because I IMed him right after seeing it... when they were watching the video in the ? hatch, does anyone remember seeing one of the Dharma instructors with a beard? He was a big guy, had the beard that the Others leader has, and has some general similarities in looks. Of course, the beard was brown then, but... my immediate thought was that it was him. Are the others somehow connected to the Dharma initiative? How are they?
Course, I could be completely wrong, and it's not him at all.

Also, I want to hug and punch Locke for putting that paper into the suction thing.
Now they know that they found the hatch, and god knows what will happen to them... but they also know that people are there, which could lead to a rescue. Could.

I was so disappointed that Libby couldn't mutter "Michael did it" instead of just "Michael." I knew he'd be an other when he returned, I called that long ago. But why nobody else even CONSIDERED such a thing... BAH. Stupid.

Might have more to say later, if I remember more that happened.
