LOST - Wednesday 11/9/05 {Spoilers for this ep and previous eps ONLY!}

[mmu1]

It definatley looks like a stab wound. Although the assailant looks like he/she is holding a gun. I get that from the possition of the hand and that it looks like a barrel of a gun coming below the hand

Look - draw an imaginary line that passes through the elbow and the wrist of that hand (running along the center of the forearm) Then another one, along the barrel of the gun.

If there's a gun in there, the lines have to intersect somewhere in the area of the left hand (since the wrist looks to be fairly straight), but where they actually meet is somewhere halfway up the forearm.

It still might be a gun, but it certainly doesn't look like it - on top of what I just mentioned, the perspective is also completely wrong. (the "barrel" would be in roughly the right place, perspective-wise, if this was the right hand of someone facing the camera, not the left hand of someone facing away from it)

It's obviously a bayonette at the end of the pistol.

 

[Hand of Evil]

It's obviously a bayonette at the end of the pistol.

Cross hilt of a sword, the upper part is being blocked by the arm and the blade by the body. Yep, thats it.

On a completely different note, what the heck was the deal with that abysmal Xbox commercial... a bunch of kids having a massive water balloon fight, with "Daydream Believer" as the soundtrack? OK, Xbox and video game commercials are in general weird, but this one just made me go "huh?"....

Uh yeah, that was terrible! Just terrible.

No hijack intended.

Did you see the jump rope commercial for X-Box 360. I think it was on a few minutes prior to Lost. That was only slightly better than the water baloon fight. Though some of the tricks they did were interesting.

You know this episode is going to make me crack and buy it off i-tunes, just so I can whatch it over and over and over...

Me too! If you couldn't tell I'm having a lot of fun with this. You'd love some of the ridiculous crap on actual LOST boards. We don't even scratch the surface of the paranoia and moronic theories. I try to comb through them a bit and find the most believable.

You aren't kidding! Some of the threads border on the schizophrenic. Every now and then though there is a good observation but wow, do you have to do a lot of wading to find one.

I was just scared that they were actually going to kill of Sawyer (which, I guess they still *could*)... he has easily become my favorite character and an actor that I would *LOVE* to see do bigger things... and he's totally good looking.

I couple more thoughts I had before I have to go to work.

First, I want to know how come every male character has longer hair in the past.

Second, I'm really beginning to suspect that Boone and Shannon were meant to be semi-redshirts from the very beginning of the show. They knew they needed to kill people to keep the suspense up, so they wrote in characters that they knew would get killed. They weren't particularly likable so that it wouldn't be a big uproar when they died. It's really kind of a shame, since I think they both had places to go.

Third, on a tangentially related note, I like the fact that we don't know all of Boone and Shannon's stories. That's the way life works, you get hints, maybe you get a bit of story, but you never get the whole thing.

Finally, my big ol' speculation on the Tailies. Personally, I think Ana killed Goodwin to keep the others in line. Note that Ana said the Others took the Tailies, not that they killed them outright. Now that Eko, Libby, and Bernard know there are other people out there, they're rebelling against her.
