I am all out of WTFs

Oct. 5th, 2005 at 9:59 PM

So, am I the only one who thought that shadowy guy in the orientation film looks like the Cigarette Smoking Man? No, really.

And I'm now wondering if maybe Locke's daddy = the original Sawyer.

When Jin spoke English in the preview? I totally fell off the couch in shock. But now I'm guessing that it's just gonna turn out to be someone's dream. I hope so, anyway. Because whenever Daniel Dae Kim speaks English all I can think about is how much I hated Gavin on Angel.

P.S. DIE, JACK, DIE!

I was shocked to hear Jin speak English too! I was at a friend's house and his DVR went all wonky right when we tried to rewid so I didn't get to hear what he said. Damn that would be one serious ruse if he really knew English.

Interesting theory re: Locke's Dad. Hmm!

He said "Everything is about to change." Or something to that effect.

Dude, I totally almost called you again. After a very loud "What the FUCK?" I had to rewind.

I totally almost called you, too, even though it was 9:45 by the time I finished watching it.

Snerk. I finished at *exactly* the same time. Exactly.

This is why we're meant to be.

We totally got a different preview. Jin speaking English! Wa?

We had Ana-Lucia trying to lure Sawyer out of the hole and Claire finding the messages in a bottle on the beach.

Also, Sus good on ya for paying enough attention to find the name of the foundation for the website.

Someone's been floating around this shifty numerical twin theory for the characters on the show (the guy who posted it alledges there's a book based on it, but he also freelances for ABC), and there's a link on here for Juxtapositioning Eugenics, which it similar.

Damn these writers, they're shifty.

I wish I could take credit for the Hanso link, but I got it from someone on

lost_tv.

That whole mirror theory spiel that's been going around seemed awfully darned fishy to me on first read-through, and then when Google turned up nothing I figured it was either a network plant or just a total dumbass making shit up. For a freelancer, his writing skillz were way sucky.

BTW, if you've heard the commentary for "The Moth" on the DVDs, Juxtapositioning Eugenics is funny because it refers to something Dom kept saying.

I think the freelancer is a graphic designer or something. But if you go onto oceanicflight815.com, there's a barcode graphic and you click on it and type in "theislandiswaiting" or "theislandiswatching" (I can't remember which one) there's another script page that Damon has written stuff on and it's got a Jack #1 and Jack #2.

I'm wondering if they're trying to build their own scientific theories to use on the show or if this is just super bogus along with the first script page from oceanic-air.com that had the mapinguari.

I listened to most of the Moth commentary, all I remember is "Welcome back to the Dominic Monaghan show, or the DMS."

I think it's probably bogus. Seems like they like throwing red herrings out to the fans to muddy the waters and keep us guessing.

On the Moth commentary, one of the producers (Bryan Burke?) used the word juxtaposition, and Dom asked what it meant, and then for the rest of the episode they kept saying over and over how things were juxtapositioning other things. And whenever they were talking about Jack they called it Jaxtaposition.

Oh yeah! I remember that now. My favorite bit was when Charlie is in the church courtyard with Liam and he's wearing that crazy scarf and Damon says "Nice scarf, did you beat Hufflepuff or what?" Cracks me up.
