Ticket1

Ticket2

Mistake?

I guess it must be. For all the talk about how they are placing every single thing in each scene intentionally, like certain books and whatnot, they sure are making some obvious mistakes. My favorite one was the white Michael though.
Wow that's really sloppy.
Did I miss something? So the ticket looks a little different.....big deal.Unless you meant the numbers on the screen (with 42 missing).

 
The 42 isn't missing - they just didn't put it up on the screen yet (in the episode).The tickets are very different though in the number placement.

 
Unless you meant the numbers on the screen (with 42 missing).
You didn't miss anything, it's no big deal.
I think it is a big deal only in that it shows you guys don't need to analyze every single frame of the show for "clues".I think this goes to show that even if the washer/dryer in the bunker were actually new models, they're just props and the intention was probably that they look older.

I'm with Shuke here. I think its time we admit that half of the stuff we get worked up over is probably just a mistake.

You will not get a disagreement from me that we over-analyze everything. If I've done that in this thread, it's strictly out of boredom.ETA: I was not part of the laundry debacle. And, this ticket this is still no big deal.

:goodposting: Also, Hulk, it is funny to see you say that because you were the one that posted the Ticket difference! Don't worry, we are all just trying to enjoy the show and it is fun to try and analyze things to see if we can figure it all out before we see it. Although that would end up being disappointing, wouldn't it?

And I personally enjoyed all of the discussion about the washer/dryer because it made the scene with Rose/Hurley washing clothes that much funnier and I literally just bought the exact same washer/dryer pair just a few weeks ago. It made me think that the writers put that scene in to make light of all of us fans wondering how they got new washer/dryers into the hatch.

I posted it as an example of the show making a mistake. I didn't intend for it result in rampant speculation that the ticket changed because Hurley is a zombie or anything like that.

How does editing let something like that get by, and why would they even have two different kinds of tickets for the filming?

:hey: I think Shuke is a plant by ABC to throw us off the real answer. Don't let him fool you, everytime he says we're overanalyzing it means we're on the right track.

:yes:

Can someone briefly recap the first half of the episode for me, and let me know if there's any key stuff I missed before the flashback where Hurley asks the girl out in the record store?TIA.

Hurley's a ZOMBIE????
only on the 42nd day of the month
Or when he realizes that all that food, including candy bars is now gone! He seemed happy during the campfire, but me thinks he might start chomping down on another survivor soon once he realizes the gravity of the situation that he gave all the food away...

Not really much important. A couple highlights (although some you may have seen, I can't remember when the record store flashback was exactly) but they might not be in exact order:1. Hurley sees that he has the winning ticket, but doesn't tell his mom and she makes fun of him trying to by a new car, or something like that.

2. Hurley dreams about eating all of the food, since we later learn he was put in charge of it, pulls a fully cooked steak and sundae out of Dharma boxes. In the dream he sees Jin talking English and some guy dressed up in a Chicken costume (from where he worked).

3. He doesn't tell Charlie about the hatch and Charlie gets pissed.

4. He gets all upset that everyone is going to hate him because he is going to be the keeper of the food. He talks to Locke and doesn't want to do it and while Locke is cleaning/fiddling with one of the automatic weapons, Locke tells him that it is his job and he will have to do it.

5. He then tells Rose about the food while she is washing clothes. She says, well there couldn't be anything down there to help me wash clothes and he says that there might.

6. Rose and Hurley inventory the food because Jack tells him that he can't give out any yet.

7. Somewhere in this Jack and Sayid are trying to break through the concrete around where the magnetic pull is coming from the wall. They don't make any progress so they go down into a crawl space below the floor and Sayid tells him that the only place he saw so much concrete poured was in Chernobyl. When they are down there, they here noises and Jack goes up to investigate and Kate is coming out of the shower (and she looked nice). She grabbed shampoo from Hurley without asking while he was doing inventory.

8. Charlie asks Hurley for peanut butter and gets even more pissed because Hurley won't give it to him (yet).

9. Flashback to Hurley at work where his boss shows him video of Hurley eating chicken on the job and after some intimidation, Hurley quits and then his friend quits two seconds later and that is when they went on their journey and ended up at the record store.

I thin Hurley playing with dynamite came after this, so I think you know the rest.

Besides, we speculated on the thread growth during the first week and I took the Over at 100, and I am still a little upset that we are on page 62. I may go back and find the largest posts and just reply to them...Huh, now that I think about it, do you think it would be overanalyzing to count the number of posts/quotations on pages 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42 of this thread and see if they add up to 108? ;)

reading these highlights it actually clicked for me Charlie and his friend at home... are specificly the same in that role of "being left out" I feel stupid as the message was still delivered to me, but that I did n[t fully comprehend, not telling charlie was identical to not telling his cluck buddy

 
Interesting, but.....
Because of the earth's rotation a transmitter at the equator would be scanned once a day while a transmitter at the pole could be scanned 14 times a day.
Right, because that particular satelite orbits from north to south. But, a similar one going east to west would pass the same spot every 108 minutes.
:shrug: Assuming it's in the same orbit as the NOAA satellite, even then the earths rotation would mean it would pass the spot on the earth either much earlier or much later than every 108 minutes (depending on which direction it's orbiting).

You can get a satellite to orbit in almost any timeframe you want.....even geosynchronous, seems like a stretch to me.

Shoot, you're right.Maybe they're at a pole?

Thanks for the recap. :thumbup:
 
I wanna know WTF Hurley is hiding dynamite?
I don't think he was hiding the dynamite. The group of them, Hurley included, brought dynamite back from the black rock to blow the hatch. It is pretty easy to imagine that Hurley knew where the rest of the dynamite was so he went there and grabbed some.
 
Here is a crazy thought:Now, I am by no means a computer expert. But how hard is it to write a simple program that would automatically imput the numbers every 108 minutes??Surely the Dharma group was smart enough to do that? Unless it was indeed their diabolical plan to have some poor schmuck sit there for months on end punching the #'s in there. Now, I remember back in the 80's my family had a good ole Apple 2+ not unlike the one there inside the bunker and at the ripe age of 9-10 years old I could write some basic programs that probably could have handled it. Surely some one in the group has enough smarts to get it done. Eh?

 
I wanna know how Jin got from the raft to tied up on the island.
I discussed this a few pages back, but he initially yelled to Sawyer and Michael and then they flashed to a big piece of the wreckage that appeared to have a little bit of the sail left on it. Sawyer and Michael were only on a pontoon. Just based on wind and the fact that they basically both ended up back at the island, I think the Jin's piece of the wreckage could have made it there sooner. When he made it to the beach, he got captured like Michael and Sawyer did soon after. The problem is that Jin couldn't talk English so there was no way for him to explain that he was on flight 815, so he was tied up. The fact that he sort of escaped for a moment, makes me think that he didn't get to the beach that much sooner, otherwise he would have been in the pit.

Who knows, since entering the numbers and hitting execute is all they do, I would say that this is a very customized OS, so if you don't know anything about it, it would be a little hard to write a program for it. The terminal they type into seems like a "dumb" terminal, and it doesn't appear that they can do anything other then enter the numbers. Don't forget the training film said not to use the computer for anything else.

Surely, there is a tape drive hooked up to the thing so they can at least play some Pong. Actually, I rememaber on scene where it actaully showed the system had 2 external floppy drives, so it has to be able to function somehow.

I'll accept that answer. 10 points.

:excited: Woo-hoo!Alex, I would like "Who's holding the teddy bear in Episode 5 please?" for 20 points please.

By the way, for everyone else, don't forget to Tivo Saturday night's episode. I found out by accident last week that they showed two different promo clips one on Wednesday and one on Saturday. For those that don't like spoilers, disregard, but these are usually just quick flashes and they usually incorporate them into ads on other shows, so you might see it anyway.

It definitely does, but if you thought it ended the world, would you hit Ctrl-C (for the Unix :nerd:s) if you didn't know how to restart the program that you enter the numbers with?Personally, I would avoid the Pong and just play with Kate in the shower. :ph34r:

 
Sorry if this was posted already... Picture of "The Others" in the boat meshed with pictures from some of the people in the training film.
The IMDB spoiler essentially disproves the theory that the people in the tape are the others.
Just catching up, so sorry if this has already been covered, but by what form of logic does this solve the question at hand?

I just wanted to mention that the chick in the tape and the one on the boat is pretty spot on.The guy...not so much.

 
Hell, I'm not so sure they are the same myself, but what I find funny is that some people assume that they cannot be wrong.

The spoiler can easily be dismissed in regards to the Degroots=Boat People argument.

If Mr. Degroot = Boat guy, then he's probably not going to give Desmond his real name. Kelvin could easily be a piece of misinformation because the only reason we know that name is from Desmond.
And for shuke: I'm just biding my time for the time we see ol' Rose washing clothes talking about the brand new ####### washer/dryer. :finger:
 
Just watched this week's episode again. Anyone else notice the song Rose was humming while washing clothes, when Hurley was talking to her on the beach, was the same song that was playing on the record player in Hurley's dream sequence...

 
Something I was thinking. The hatch was quarantined because of a "disease".... or so they were told. The "others" also had a hatch... it seemed they were all living in it...leading me to believe they discovered it futher. That camps seems to be far less happy/democratic. Now we're starting to see hints of tension in our camp... most of which is related to the hatch. Could the "Disease" be power (Control of the guns/food/hatch)?It seems all of the people were happier before the hatch was found... and seemingly (at least to me) are headed in the direction of the others.

I don't think the sickness is as it sounds.It may be a sickness of the mind. I was watching the first episode where Danielle appears and she talks about how her colleagues got 'Lost' as in 'in the head'

Definitely something more to this sickness/lost thing

 
Here is a question for you...Now that we know what is in the hatch, why did Walt beg Locke not to open it?It really doesn't seem all that bad.

What are the chances that the Others are former Dharma scientists? They might be using the hatch/undeground system.
 
I am think the "others" are "other" experiments... and the experiments get "populated" every so often... not sure how this ties to walt being abducted, other than maybe, it keeps the newbies on the island?also, Sayed, the french lady, and the Recording.. how long ago? older than the Dharma Intiative?

Walt ties in because he is a kid and kids have less ties to our reality. Therefore it is easier to exploit possible psychic abilities. Sheesh. :unsure:

The recording was started before Danielle's team changed it 16 years before the plane crashed.
