It might not be true just speculation but I remember reading that.
I need to get the DVD. This and Band of Brothers I could watch an infinite amount of times.

Here is another except from the 3rd Policeman. I just finished watching the episode again and froze the frame with the book title and bible in it.
The precariousness of identity is a theme that also runs throughout the main narrative. The narrator eventually escapes from the police station (with the help of an army of one-legged men) and passes Mathers' house on his way home. At this stage the quest for the black box had almost been forgotten, but he makes one more attempt at recovering it. Inside the house – or to be more accurate, inside the walls of the house – he discovers the station of the third policeman of the title, Policeman Fox, who has custody of the black box. Fox reveals that the box does not contain money, but “omnium”, a substance MacCruiskeen once described as: “the essential inherent interior essence which is hidden in the root of the kernel of everything” (113), but which is literally everything one desires. Policeman Fox has been using it to take the muck off his leggings and to boil his eggs just right, but naturally the narrator has more grandiose visions of his future omnipotence. He gleefully returns home with the black box, where he finds a much older John Divney who is surprisingly disturbed by the narrator's appearance: “He said I was not there. He said I was dead. He said that what he had put under the boards in the big house was not the black box but a mine, a bomb. It had gone up when I touched it […] I was dead. He screamed at me to keep away. I was dead for sixteen years.” (203) The shock of seeing his dead friend kills Divney, and the confused narrator turns back to the road. At this point the narrative also turns back on itself, replicating the narrator's first approach to the peculiar police station, only this time he is accompanied by John Divney. Both are doomed to the cyclical quest for the black box. The novel ends with Sergeant Pluck's habitual refrain: “Is it about a bicycle?” (206). There is something here that I can't quite put my finger on. I think a parralell between the button and the black box.

I just watched Michael get hit by the car for the first time. The driver appeared to have noticeable sideburns. Maybe.

If this is true, it is becoming increasingly more likely that the end of Lost won't be based in any form of reality... it's one thing for Dharma to have something to do with the people on the plane, once they purchased tickets... but before that? With all the variables in life it's a bit of a stretch to say that Dharma somehow knew something about these people for years, and somehow made them voluntarily buy tickets on the same plane, to the same place, at the same time.

i rewatched a couple early episodes. i dont have anything groundbreaking, but a few thoughts observations:
1 - the monster at the beginning of the show that we hear is not the smoke we saw later. obviously a different noise....and in ep 1, you hear someone say the monster "sounds familiar" 2 - the smoke could very well be what "infected" the others. the french lady, while thinking back, says everyone got infected on the way back from the black rock. 3 - the french lady specifically says everyone in her group was fine for 2 months, then got infected. the lost gang have only been around for 40-50 days so far. 4 - locke all but says jacks father is still alive. i think he has seen him. 5 - VERY liberal use of the word "others". even when referring to the lost crew we know. to the point where a person will say, "how are they? the others?" the word "others" is thrown around all over the place, which i dont think is a coincidence 6 - sun's dad is most likely involved in all this. its worth noting he is very powerful and rich... 7 - my own theory....the end of the world has happened. i dont think this is actually the case, but it dawned on me that we never see anything happen outside the island after the crash...for obvious reasons. but combine that with "if we dont push those buttons, the world will end", and the buttons maybe not being pushed the day of the crash, and perhaps the island is all thats left. maybe. i dont know. i suck at this. |

By the way, very shortly i plan on running a little FOFC Lost contest, I can put up a copy of Season 1 on DVD as the prize. I've got a few extra as part of a promotion I worked on when it was first released. I'm thinking some sort of Lost quiz where every submits answers, whoever has the best score wins, and if there is a tie (very likely) i choose randomly from among those who had the best scores.
Look for something in the next day or two. |

You can clearly recognize the little "SE" logo in both the above and below shots (the first when michael is hit, the second as Kate is nailing the other car):

One final thought. They don't have to be the same car, they could just be the same model. You can read the license plate in the Kate incident plain as day (614-GJ5), and there is clearly a differnt plate on the car that hits Locke (looks like it starts with a 2 and/or 3, thought its blurry in all shots).
Also, i dont know if this is just the stuntman or an intentional picture, but it looks like a bald-headed man driving the car that hits Kate: When Michael is being hit it looks like someone wearing a white baseball cap: Of course it's also debatable that the white area there just above the seat is any other number of things. Personally I can mentally picture two different castaways as the drivers of these cars, but i feel like it's just to crazy and early to start speculating. |

Maybe the writers are hinting at the fact that people that drive that tyoe of car are more prone to attempts at vehicular manslaughter?

I stand by my comments, while the cars may look the same it doesn't mean it is the same car... but if it is, then a reality based ending is becoming alot less likely IMO.

My mum had a cool idea. Theyr'e only on season 1 just now (don't dl shows and uk is a season behind). She reckons that the island is purgatory. When the plane blew up, everyone else went upstairs or downstairs but they all have to atone for sins on this island.
All of that is kinda ruled out by s2 ep1 but it's a cool idea anyway. |

That was my thought during the first season...but the thing that swayed me away from that, is, how do you get out of purgatory? I mean some of the survivors were killed (not gonna spoil it if you haven't seen yet). What did they do to redeem themselves to get out of purgatory (to die)?

I have seen up to the most recent US aired episode - I'm pretty sure (esp with the debunking mentioned above) that they aint in purgatory - nice idea though.

Considering that one of the major thematic conflicts of the show is faith vs. science, I think little coincidences like this point to the idea that these things are happening for a reason, whether it's supernatural or whatever, instead of everything completely not being reality. Basically it makes it seem like Locke's faith in the island is justified. Of course, it's always possible that it's all purely coincidental or the car is not actually the same or a million other things. |

one other thing to note...none of the survivors, that we know of, were just on vacation or anything benign like that. we dont learn of many that died, but we do get the sense that one couple that was engaged and "looked happy" died...everyone else is at a severe crossroads in their lives.
its not odd for a tv show, really...but it is when i consider every flight ive ever been on. youd think just 1 person would have just been going on or returning from vacation. |

SPOILER FOR THOSE WHO HAVENT SEEN TONIGHTS EPISODE

I thought the virus was a ploy to get that guy to stay in the hatch and press the button. I thought they might have killed one another, or maybe eaten eachother... who knows?

Did anyone else check out the milk carton at the beginning of the episode that Hurley was drinking from? Right when he sees Jin in his dream, there is a picture of Walt on the side of the carton and it says MISSING on the top.

Nice job, man. That is some great stuff. I don't think it's any coincidence that it's the same car in all the shots. Think about it - they spent all this money on props, rental cars, rented an airplane, and everything else. They aren't going to use the same p.o.s car in pivotal scenes unless it means something. Can anyone make out what state these tags on the above picture are from? |

The closest I could find....
I don't remember if they mentioned where exactly Kate was from, but I assumed it was somewhere mid-west. The tags are probalby a dead end then. Last edited by Raven : 10-13-2005 at 02:12 AM. |

I liked the part where Sawyer says, "If you hit me again, I'll kill you."
Bruce Willis said it in The Last Boy Scout. Geena Davis said it in The Long Kiss Goodnight. Trite, but I like it. |

I actually was reading one of the Lost discussion boards and it turns out that the writers/producers have said that it is the same car but that it actually doesn't have any significance. Just reusing cars for different scenes I guess and failed to take the fans obsessive attention to detail in account. |

Kind of a lame episode for progressing the plot (especially compared to last week's) ... but I did like the "Driveshaft ... more like 'SuckShaft'" comment.

Sure, but you are ignoring the "Kate in a towel" factor. And this was the most disappointing episode ever, IMO, for flashbacks. All we learned about Hurley was that he worked in a fast food job (we sort of knew that) and had a best friend.
