I didn’t notice the poster, I’ll go back and look. I like the painting in Widmore’s office.

It certainly looks that way. Really odd but not all that surprising considering what show this is!

Hey, your poll over there is wrong: its on at 9 pm central, 10 pm eastern.

Nice capture but I think this might be a case of looking too hard for something.
If you open both of the tabs in a new window and then click to them back and forth you can see that the camera just pans slightly to open up a better look of the picture which would account for the “picture blinking”. Notice also how much clearer we can see the word “sexy” written right next to the girl’s face in the second picture. The motion of the camera most likely blurred the photo in the first shot and then “course corrected” if you will, in the second shot.
Also on lost whenever a hallucination is in progress we’re usually treated to some other supporting supporting clues.
Good eye though, honest.

The painting in the Dad’s office changes sides of the room. Des is sitting there and looks at the painting and in the next frame it is on the opposite side.

Did anyone else notice that painting in Widmore’s office? Desmond looked at it for a second but there was a polar bear and a Buddha statue in the painting. The polar bear was almost a dead giveaway that this was something to notice. The Buddha statue in the painting was similar to the one that showed briefly in the video clip in room 23 from Not in Portland.
In the full shot of the painting you’ll notice that NAMASTE is written accross the top as well. This almost literally has Dharma written all over it.

The only problem is that this episode didn’t explain how Desmond survived after pushing the button. His nakedness also not explained. Also not explained is how he was thrown up out of the hatch while all the metal was sucked down and how his body passed through all that metal. I mean think about. If the hatch imploded his body would have gone through some metal being sucked down while he was going up. Still a great episode though…

This was a great episode? Come on! Last week, they show us previews of an attempted rescue, with Locke and the gang firing guns, etc., preceded by the voice saying, “Next week, on Lost …” Then they show us this? In what way does this help explain anything? I was really frustrated after watching this episode.
Comment by Frank — February 15, 2007 @ 5:35 pm
Look thats how the creators of the show are rolling. They aren’t telling us certain things. I can complain but still think it was a good episode.
Comment by Charlie Lesoine — February 15, 2007 @ 6:02 pm
I don’t seem to remember a time when a good lost episode was required to explain everything or anything.
Comment by Ryan — February 15, 2007 @ 7:34 pm
We learned that MacCutcheon Whiskey is named after Admiral MacCutcheon.
Doing a search I found that Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje stared in the 1997 TV remake of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea which has a character named Admiral McCutcheon.

That’s not camera angle, that poster IS blinking. If that’s the case, it’s a HUGE find. Posters don’t blink no matter how many times you live your life over.
If Desmond’s flashback was just a dream or hallucination, it leaves the explanation for his clairvoyance wide open.
It’s not the first time Lost has dabbled in this phenomenon…anyone remember a kid named Walt? LOL
Comment by Rain — February 15, 2007 @ 10:31 pm
Some people watch these episodes and think they explain nothing and just add more questions. I watch them and see nothing but answers. Even the new questions posed, are answers. It’s all about perception. “Normal” people will just never accept anything but long monotonous exposition in dialogue as satisfactory because mainstream dumbed-down television has trained them that way.

Maybe there were clues to the show’s finale in this episode. What happened to Desmond after the implosion is certainly a possible ending scenario for the entire group of Losties….That is, that they will be returned to the plane before the crash, with some recollection of having been on the island, but they will actually re-join time as the outside world knows it….the tragic part of it will be that Locke will have to return to being crippled, Kate on her way to prison, etc….they will have to give up what the island offered them, in return for getting back to the “real” world…..
Just an idea….
Comment by matthias fuchs — February 16, 2007 @ 1:29 am
So if the poster blinks that means that desmond did just travel back in time and it wasn’t a dream.
Also cdesmond telling charlie he was saving him not charlies girlfriend was HUGE!
Comment by W. r. M. — February 16, 2007 @ 3:35 am
It wasn’t Des himself traveling time, but it was his conscious mind. This may have perpetrated a dream like state, but present Des (the one we watch) was definitely there.
Comment by cap10tripps — February 16, 2007 @ 6:41 am
Matthias, you bring up an interesting idea for the finale. But the Losties may find themselves going back several years as Desmond did, at points in their lives *prior* to actions that put them where they were right before the crash. Thus giving them the chance to exert their FREE WILL to change events or giving in to DESTINY!

Don’t know if anyone has said this yet but if you treat Charlie’s middle name as an anagram Hieronymus = My Hero Is U…don’t know if this is anything but I found it interesting.
Comment by Brandon — February 16, 2007 @ 9:22 am
After I saw this episode, it firmly confirmed for me that lost has a lot to do with the Montauk Project. (Wiki it.)
A project that had a lot to do with the kind of experiment on the show Quantum Leap. Even down to the reported “Swiss Cheese” memory.
Comment by oxidizedmetal — February 16, 2007 @ 11:20 am
Forgot the n on what I thought was an anagram, sorry. But if you look up the artist Hieronymus his art focused on the sin of man and fear inducing things such as machines and half humans/half animals…
Comment by Brandon — February 16, 2007 @ 11:30 am
Here is what I noticed: Did I read “FUTURE” on the tin can with red paint when Desmond was on the floor?
Comment by Tom — February 16, 2007 @ 12:39 pm
Hieronymous-hmm Hieronymous Lex! This is proof that the island is actually located in the world of Oblivion. Its such an obvious clue.
Comment by Anon — February 16, 2007 @ 3:48 pm
That is not a blink
That is a lense blur. The eyes are most noticable because thats what people look at but everything in that frame is subseptible to it.
I mean, cant you see the letters blur and become indistinquishable. they shorten, lengthen, foreshorten–when the eye got affected you lost the definition so the skin color blur makes it look like its closed. The camera is jumping up and down for cryin out loud:)
We mind as well say the Letters suddenly change and are stretched by a black hole too
Comment by JJBB — February 17, 2007 @ 12:51 am
The episode reminded me of the movie “Somewhere in Time” with Christopher Reeve. He time travelled in the film, but only his mind, not his body, moved in time.
As for the poster BLINKING. It does NOT blink. That poster in in frame for half a second, the camera is moving quickly and dramatically to match Desmond’s action, and in real time you can’t see the poster, you can’t see if it’s blinking. You can’t even see a face. Post as many blurry JPG’s as you like.
Comment by JoeBlow — February 17, 2007 @ 9:03 am
Anyone notice the egyptian symbols in the artwork above Desmond’s bed? Is that a stretch?
Also, I’m with you on the paint can saying FUTURE… sweet catch!

~ Namaste ~
Fascinated by Mohandas Gandhi, Albert Einstein watched newsreel after newsreel of Gandhi in India. He was especially intrigued as he watched Gandhi greet people in the street with his hands placed together, as if in prayer, and with a bow. He wondered what Gandhi was saying. Remember, newsreels had no sound in those days. Einstein wrote Gandhi to inquire about what was being said. Gandhi replied, “Namaste.” Einstein wrote Gandhi again to ask the meaning of this Hindu word, “Namaste.” The reply: “I honour the place in you where the entire universe resides. I honour the place in you of light, love, truth, peace and wisdom. I honour the place in you where, when you are in that place, and I am in that place, we are both one.

I’m not really impressed with the “easter eggs” this episode. There were really only 3 if you discount the repeats of the sponsors. And being that a car company and airline are probably major companies in Lost world, nothing is really surprising about that at all.
