When did the 'gun' start being used for shots too, that will has timeline on it.
I have a vivid memory of them using one when I got immunized as a small child in the early 70s. It looked more like a phaser from Star Treak (TOS, obviously) and I was terrified because they wanted to use it on me.

Edit: Actually, I think it was a "Jet Injector" (like a Star Trek Hypospray) because it was the "shot" sound from testing it that set me to running screaming from the room. In any case, they've had those gun type things for a while...

One thing I noticed from preview show was a subtle change from the original airing. It seems the exact spanish comic book is either not relevant or there was a copyright blunder by lawyers. When walt is looking at it with his dad, I noticed the book cover had been blurred out.

I simply get annoyed when people don't read all posts in a thread, especially in a thread like this.
You should stop reading threads with hundreds of posts then, because no one but you is religiously reading every post every time and double-checking so that they don't repeat an idea or link that someone else has posted previously.

Message boards are not about credit, they're about discussion. If something comes up again, it's probably because it's especially germaine.

I only saw the back cover blurred out, which was an advertisement. "Lost" in Spanish-language markets may well be advertised by a competitor, and the studio likely wanted that sort of problem avoided in future. Is it blurred out in the DVD version too?

Case in point, this guy.

I'm horrible about missing things in long threads.

Back to the timeline issue, does anyone recall how long Sarah was supposed to have been in recovery before she and Jack got married? Maybe it was mentioned in the finale? Just curious.
 

Sorry, didn't see the second picture (just saw the Apple ][). Yeah, definitely an Apple ][ as a base, with what actually looks quite a bit like a TRS-80 (sans keyboard) above it.

Yet still, must be a terminal.
 

A friend and I were watching the HDTV version on my computer earlier today, trying to notice all the "coincidences" and "numbers" occuring. Going through frame-by-frame, almost, we came to the shower scene, and I paused it to engage in a bit of asshatry; I counted the number of holes in the shower head, pretending like I was looking for a Number connection.

. . . much to my suprise, there were 42 holes in the shower head.

When Desmond is doing his exercises, he does 3 chinups, 5 situps, 8 reps total.

When Jack trips during his run, you see that row 25 seats are shown, but Jack tripped just below that row... on 23.

In the beginning, Hurley is chanting "4 8 15 16 23 42 - 4 8 dead 15 doomed and dead 16 --" and is interrupted by Kate.

Also, notice that there are two beds in the beginning, with Des on the top bunk, and the bottom bunk is clearly in a "used" state. He then goes to the dining area, and cleans up someone else's breakfast -- breakfast, because of the orange juice on the table. There is a facedown, open book on the right-hand bench seat, with an open newspaper next to the old breakfast on the left-hand seat.

When you see the record player, pay attention to the entire bookcase and surrounding area. From left-to-right, you see a sofa, the bookcase with the turntable on the right, and then a wall on the far right. Later, when the explosion occurs, he glances and we see the scene in reverse, with an opening. Speculation is that he was looking into one of his ever-present mirrors and we see from his perspective.

Why do we suspect that "the guy" in the beginning is "Desmond?" When we see the Eye at the beginning of the episode is a lot lighter than that of Desmond at the end of the episode. At the beginning, "the guy's" fingers are extremely clean, yet only hours later we see Desmond grasp his pistol with very very dirty fingers; strangely, the two people (one person?) have identically unshaven beard growths.

Did you notice the windows in the beginning? There are at least three -- one behind the bunk beds, one at the dining booth, and another off-camera but clearly shedding light into the living room (just before he turns on the record).

There's also a ping-pong set there -- a game you can't really play alone; the table is set in the middle of the room, with no wall or barrier nearby to play against yourself by. Also, there's a tennis ball (irrelevant?).
