LT125: LOST REDUX

LOST IN 2.0

There is a website that advertises “Lost in 2.0”. It describes it as an on-line rerun of the series with extra bonuses from those on-screen dialogs to interviews with key players. This might be a good way to pass the time until LOST Season 5 starts.

It begins in about eight days.


FLASHBACK: ADAM and EVE

You recall our two skeletons in the caves, right? Someone noticed they seem to be wearing parachutes.

Look closely (you can click on them to enlarge for better viewing). You can make out the straps over the shoulders as well as other pieces.

What does this imply? Perhaps they had to bail out of an aircraft like Naomi. Or a hot air balloon.

Jack estimated they deaths to be about fifty years ago, or 1954. We also know the Black Rock crashed on the island in 1845. 1845 + 108 = 1954.

If we continue this line of thought we can project that the storyline of LOST is 108 days. And the Bible tells us that to God a thousand years is as a day, especially when you have jumping islands.


EMMY TIME

It seems as if we have five nominees for Best Drama including LOST. Each nomination sends in five episodes. One episode is sent to each judge randomly, who then views the five nominees episode they received before judging. LOST is putting these five up for viewing:

The Beginning of the End
The Constant
Ji Yeon
There’s No Place Like Home, Part 1
There’s No Place Like Home, Parts 2 and 3

Seems like they sort of cheated on that last entry! I’d pretty much agree that those are some of the five best episodes of last season.


TRIVIA TIME

Eight drugs have been mentioned on LOST, but can you name them?

You might have correctly guessed alcohol as one of the drugs. What you might not know is that the actors playing Libby and Ana Lucia were arrested for drunk driving while filming LOST and both arrests were within 15 minutes of each other.

You might have correctly guessed cigarettes as one of the drugs. What you might not know is that one of the brands seen is called Portsmouth. There is no real-life Portsmouth brand. It was the name on the side of the Black Rock as its port of origin. And it is the hometown of Charles Dickens.

You might have correctly guessed heroin as it was Charlie’s favorite drug. What you might not know is that Charlie is never seen directly taking the drug…only veiled references. And they use brown sugar as the drug when shooting.

You might have correctly guessed the vaccines. What you might not know is that there is no known vaccine drug treatment that requires daily injection for years.

You might have correctly guessed Juliet’s test drug. What you might not know is that she was giving it to her sister Rachel. Or maybe you did know that one.

You might have correctly guessed Locke’s drug. What you might not know is on the show, his paste is actually chocolate pudding.

You might have guessed Oxycodone. What you might not know is refills for Schedule 2 drugs do not permit refills. This was Jack’s drug.

You might have guessed Clonazepam. What you might not know is using it too often will cause memory loss. And Jack and Hurley were the users of this drug.

Enjoy,
