**** OFFICIAL **** LOST - The TV Series (3 Viewers)

Do you guys think this could be one big reality show that the family members agreed to sign their children/parents/SO up for? Basically, each family is paid $10,000,000 and the entire show is caught on film... taping in the hatch, etc. The others are thrown in there to mix things up and keep the audience captivated. Hard to say with the kids being involved and death all around, but it could be an extreme reality show. You never know and this would explain a lot and it wouldn't be a supernatural explanation either.
This seems impossible.
 
How come when Hurley was going to have the picanick with Libby, it was daylight. When Sawyer, Jack, and Freckles returned to the hatch it was night. And when Freckles told Hurley about Libby, it was day again.

Hurley knew she was going to the hatch, are we supposed to believe he waited 12+ hours before going to look for her?
:kicksrock:
Good question. Either the show screwed up, or something fishy is going on with Hurley.
 
OMFG!

It is a question mark. Clearly.

The circle part, where he tasted the salted earth, was the period at the bottom of it.

It is a ?, the plane is covering the dot.

I thought Locke was going to hit "rewind" and watch Michael shoot the girls.

Maybe the entire show is an experiement on US, to see how many people will immediately go to a website/call a phone number. And then drink Sprite.

Just nit-picking you. He tasted the ground in the clearing, above the plane, then went back towards the plane to look for the "dot" (aka hatch opening).

Definitely a mess up.When Sawyer was told to leave by Jack, Sawyer said he needed only 20 minutes to get back. Next thing you know Sawyer and Kate are strolling down the beach in daylight.

How do you know Jack said that at night? Wasn't that after they had already been there for a while?
 
Just noting that with the plane covering the Pearl Station it would seem that no one was watching the losties since Boone died. Possibly why Henry was sent in.
This may end up being the same thing you said, but the Pearl hatch had to be deserted since before Boone died. With the plane on top, and the door latched from the outside, noone was getting out. Unless, there is another exit we didn't see.Boone also died a while before we met Desmond. This means that Desmond was not being monitored, at least from the Pearl hatch. Why is that? Because he wasn't an original DHARMA experimental subject?

This is probably obvious, but whatever the catastrophic failure was, really threw a wrench into the DHARMA initiative. Perhaps someone didn't enter the code at 108 minutes which resulted in disaster, and now, as Eko alluded to pushing the button is VERY important afterall.

I guess. Doesn't really matter.
 
It was a question mark and we don’t know how much time passed between the shooting and Sawyer and Kate leaving to get the heroin. Maybe it was late in the day and Hurley and Libby (RIP) decided to have their picnic the next day.

I think what we should be discussing is why does Dr. Marvin Candle have a new name and what happened to his prosthetic arm? Could he have lost his arm in the “incident” he talks about in the Swan film, was the fake arm really fake, or (you’re gonna love this) are there two doctors, either twin or clone? Maybe the incident Candle was referring to could have been the creation of the others. Could the people manning the other stations started talking to each other via the computer and found out that they were all a part of one experiment and decided to gather together and revolt and from that revolt those survivors became the others.

Other items up for bid are: Will Michael’s conversations with “Walt” from the computer show up on the log that Locke printed and was Claire’s physic lying to her or Eko?

One other thought I had was I wonder if the producers decided to use a tape this time instead of film because everyone that discusses this show on message boards called the 1st one a tape and not film.

 
We do not necessarily know for sure that the Pearl hatch equals the middle question mark on Locke's map, correct?  I do think a monitoring station makes sense to be in the middle of all the other hatches though.
I thought that the clearing (remember Eko said the ground was salted to prevent growth) was shaped like a ?. It wasn't until Eko had climbed up the wall that he saw that shape. Also, all of the talk about the ?, makes me 99.9% sure that the Pearl hatch is the question mark on Locke's map.
In next weeks previews it shows them walking into some sort of clearing and all having a shocked look on their faces... what did they find? Another hatch? Somthing bigger?
I thought they were on the beach, either looking down the beach or out to the water.

On the blast door drawing there was a note
CVIV?

The Pearl?
And CVIV was not drawn over the central "?" station.Interactive map re-draw
Interesting. Some are saying Eko saw the ? mark from the cliff. I only saw a circle from what I remember.
It was not a question mark. It was a circle made by salting the earth. The circle marked the spot so they aircraft could see it.
You're wrong.

All we seem to need is a screen shot of the door. If it said CVIV then it is not the center "?".

Why would they devote an entire episode to have Eko have a dream where Eko's brother is typing all ? marks into the computer, where the clock resets to a bunch of ?'s, where his brother tells him he must go with Locke to the ?, where Eko follows John's crude map to about where the ? should be, and where Locke has a dream that causes Eko to climb the cliff where he sees something the looks a hell of a lot like a ?, just to have it be a circle for a plane to see or something?It is the ? mark.

 
What is up with Marvin Candle and Mark Wickman?

M + Fire related last name?

Maybe this dude hangs at the Flame hatch?

 
Does it really matter if its a ? or a circle? Whoever drew the map in the hatch obviously climbed up that cliff and saw the same thing eko did. Whether its a circle or a ? I think its pretty clear that the center place on the map and the new hatch are one and the same.

(HULK) stop yelling and tell us the odds that the Dr.s are twins.

(Bad Twins?)
They could be twins.It could be the same guy.

I suppose they could be clones too.

The Pearl Guy looked younger than the Swan Guy, but both films were shot in 1980.

Their haircuts and style were different too.

Could very well be twins.

Who says "Presto!" anyways?

 
I got nothing to say as far as spoilers. I just felt left out with all the above spoiler posts and replies. I've been avoiding spoilers since the last few new episodes started and I'm really having a good time watching this way!
 
If it was a circle and not a question mark the episode wouldn't have been called "?". It would've been called "o". Let's not be stupid.

Hey, Hulk, I don't normally do the Spoilers pre-episode. But after last night I went back and watched the ones you posted a couple days ago from You Tube. Are they always completely made up or was it a joke week? Or was that a new source being tried out. If anybody hasn't checked them, its worth a chuckle how far off they were. I was just wondering if I missed something on that.

And who ever said the Psychic lying or Desmond lying to us would've gone against the way the writers bring the show to us, because they haven't told us any straight up lies or something? What was Henry Gale doing for like 4 episodes? To say there is no deception in the show is ridiculous. And to say those lies weren't effective would be terrible, because boards like this filled pages arguing how they believed Henry Gale's story.

Happy Thursday.

:banned: :banned:

 
One thought...

the only feed that was coming through in the pearl hatch observation room was from the swan hatch. Eko kept saying that pushing the button may be more important than they realized. Prelude to pushing the button kept the swan feed recording and will result in finding the truth? But preview for next week sounded like Sayid was onto Michael anyways. Anyways, for six hatches - one feed working. Any other guesses?

Hulk, not everyone is blessed w/ common sense. In fact, it has shown to be less common among those with more intelligence. Brush it off man :)

I would think that if it truly was a question mark made of of salt, Eko would have specifically said "This is a question mark!" because at the time he was obsessed with it. If even Eko, who was obsessed with it, described it as a CIRCLE, and did not see any question mark there, then its a circle!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT IS A CIRCLE!!!!!

OMFG!!!!!

 
To quote Eko in the scene:

Eko: Its salty!

Locke: WHAT?!

Eko: The earth has been salted so that nothing can grow!

Locke: Why would anyone want to salt it?! There's nothing here...

Eko: I believe they made a CIRCLE! A target! So that this place can be seen from up above!

OOOOOO

 
it was a question mark, what episode did you watch ?
I didn't see a question mark either.I don't think it had to be a question mark. The theme of the show was about the question mark on the map, not necessarily a huge question mark that marked a location.

The image posted with a superimposed question mark is really reaching. I only see an arc...no circle, no line, no question mark.

 
One thing I haven't seen discussed much that will be key - Locke sending his map through the communications tube. Assuming someone's on the other end, they would have to figure Locke's got it somewhat figured out (based on the map).

That's going to have big ramifications.

 
s

See that little dot that is the bottom part of the question mark? That's where the hatch was.

Quit being dumbasses.

BURN!!!Game over. :own3d: :porked: or whatever else you wanna call it. It's a ####### circle with a dot in the middle.

Now let it go.

I think the button is fake. I'm pretty well convinced of this, as a matter of fact. Assuming that everything else about the hatches, etc... is legit, then I'm of the mind that Dharma et al could have come up with a more permanent solution than depending on enlistees to press a button every 108 minutes. Perhaps it was a stop gap initially (I doubt it, but that would at least give it a functional purpose).... still, if they can have underground power, fresh h2o & sewage and everything else, then pushing the button for any reason not deemed trivial is ridiculous.

This is shtick right?
 
great episode last night. I was looking at the title for next week's episode "Three Minutes" and was trying to come up with a conclusion as to what that could be in reference to. This is a shot in the dark but in the preview for next week's episode we see Michael in a room with some people who are presumeably Others. Could the phrase "three minutes" possibly refer to the amount of time that the Others would allow Michael to get to spend with Walt?

 
No offense to anybody here, but I seriously think you'd have to be a little "special" to think that was anything other than a ?.
