Message: <blockquote data-quote="orbitalfreak" data-source="post: 2603773" data-attributes="member: 1669">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?).</blockquote>
