Wednesday, May 04, 2005Apparently terrorists play 7 year old computer games...in Lost. This is not really spoilerish (of course if you have not seen tonight's episode and think that any information is a spoiler then don't read on), but some terrorists in waiting were playing the original Half Life (and it appeared that they were playing it in the year 2004). Now, that is a great game, and I actually did play it in 2004 (hadn't played it and wanted to before the 2nd came out), but it did seem a little old for the time. Of course, if they wanted something from the Half Life universe they basically had to use that one since the 2nd did not come out until after the plane crashed. I have to think at least one of the writers loves the game properly as they made sure to reference the crowbar. Another interesting minor aside in this episode mentioned that one of the characters was on their way to Irvine to meet someone. That makes three characters in Lost with connections to Orange County in the show (the other two connected with Tustin). Comments:I just stumbled across your blog hitting next, but yay! another lost fan! I thought the same thing about everybody heading to California to meet somebody, but perhaps some people are returning from meeting somebody. Let me see... Charlie and his brother, Michael and Walt, Claire and the adoptive parents, Boone bringing Back Shannon, the marshall bringing back Kate, and Jack bringing his father home. ONly Sunn and Jin don't fit the category. And Hurley. What was he in Australia for again? The woman with the winning lotto numbers? Anyways, I love the show. Sorry to bug you. Bug me? Bug me? I love to talk about lost. You may even be able to help me with something. In the episode with Sun and Jin's backstory, in the scene where Jin breaks into the governemnt minister's house, this rest of the faimily are watching tv. Now I think I saw Hurly on the tv. But no one else I've spoken to recalls that. Did you see it, or am I just imagining things? He was on the TV there. Apparently the Korean text on the TV said something like "Lucky Lotto Winner." And remember, that episode was the episode before Hurley's, so it was great foreshadowing. And the whole meeting people theory is about as good as any I have heard, it does work with Hurley (he was meeting the woman to ask her what the numbers meant). The only people that I can think of that didn't actually want to meet someone in particular were Kate (which she did anyways) and Locke (I suppose he was trying to find himself, but he was unsuccessful until after the crash). Yes that was Hurley! I remember seeing the same news footage of Hurley getting out of his car with his mom er something in his episode. Oh yeah, I thought that about Locke after the fact. And Sun and Jin didn't really meet anybody? Maybe each other again? |
