General "Lost" thoughts

[Cthulhudrew]

Has anybody else heard of this "space station theory", or is it as crackpot as it sounds to me?

Hadn't heard of that till now, but I have to agree- it sounds incredibly crackpot, especially considering that 1) the people on the island are survivors of a plane crash that very visibly took place in the first episode (must be an incredibly huge space station to incorporate the whole of the planet earth, or at least a flying plane, if the theory holds that they fell into a warp or something), and 2) I can't think of any space station that makes use of 70's technology, which is what is inside the hatch. We don't have space stations that size or sophistication now, with our technology, so how they managed to do it with an Apple II running the thing, I don't know...

Space Station

Actually, that idea was brought up in one of the threads during season one... It seems that that comic book of Hugos that Walt found (the one with the polar bear) also has a space station in it... This prompted some to suggest that the survivors might be on a space station... but we certainly have seen nothing to substantiate that!

Still, think what you like... Who knows, with this show?

IIRC Walt was reading a JLA comic so the space station featured would have been the watchtower.

Speaking of JLA did anyone here watch the cartoon episode where a group of JLA members get sucked into an alternate reality where every one has died expect one little boy who had these mental powers. He used his powers to basicly recreate the world, but it was all an illusion. Could lost be following that formula. We know Walt has some special powers maybe he is creating all this.

Actually the space station in the comic was the Injustice Gang's.

I am intrigued by Lost only recently coming to know it via the DVD collection that friend let me borrow.

I am catching Cthulhu Mythos elements....the Black Rock where the science expedition turned...Others. Strange-man eating monsters that make bellowing noises, nonsenscical mathematics..., Claire having to get on that flight pushed there by the psychic. Locke's reanimated legs...

ok, im only halfway through season 1, so all of this may be explained by the end of the season.

 

[Fast Learner]

Heh, as if!

I will say that ONE of the six things you mentioned will be semi-resolved at season end.

watched the season 1 finale last night. Blackrock was answered, but what is that 'security system' monster...a Black Cloud that blows up trees?

I find it interesting that while everyone on the island calls the big guy "Hurley," Locke calls him "Hugo." The big guy told Jack in an earlier episode (Raised By Another) that Hurley is just a nickname and tells him his real name, but I don't recall him ever telling anyone else. And Jack isn't the type to divulge anyone's secrets. Sawyer, while reading the messages to be sent on the raft with them (Exodus Part 1), reads that someone on the island is leaving his millions of dollars to his mom. "Who is Hugo?" he asks.

Did I miss something? Locke keeps saying "Hugo" and Hurley hasn't said, "Dude, how do you know my name?" How does Locke know Hurley's real name? Maybe it's a clue that Locke knows who Hurley was because Hurley owns the box company where Locke worked.
