Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Lost, Of Interest, TV / MoviesSince I haven’t done my Lost review this week, I’ll post a comment I made on a forum.
add a commentI don’t think Walt ever typed anything on the computer. I think it was in Michael’s mind. I think Walt was trying to communicate telepathically and couldn’t get it quite right which is why he was visible to Shannon and Sayid but his speech was backwards. He found it easier to project the typed text into Michael’s mind.
When Jack walked in on Michael after Michael had been talking to Walt on the computer, the screen was blank although Michael did not touch the keyboard and only a second later had been in mid-sentence with Walt.
I think Fake Henry is a strong telepath. Remember Jack saying “you’ve got good ears.” He wasn’t listening through the door. I think when Michael came into the hatch, Henry finally found a mind weak enough to control. Henry, not Michael, shot the drunks, er, I mean examples, er, partiers, er, no, um, ladies…yes, Henry shot the ladies.
I still think that when Henry said to Anna Lucia, “you killed two good people” that he was looking into her mind and referring to incidents off the island.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Lost, Of Interest, TV / MoviesMy alloted time for blogging is done so here are some quick Lost notes. Possible spoilers! (more…)

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Lost, Of Interest, TV / MoviesI got busy and quit posting about Lost which is a shame because my biggest hangup since we discovered the hatch was Desmond’s eggs and when Henry asked how old the food was I about died. I knew they were getting supplied somehow. Speaking of food, The Fuselage has a discussion on the numbers on the food containers.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Lost, Of Interest, TV / MoviesUntil I can get caught on my work and do a decent Lost review, I’m summize with: The food has been bugging me since Desmond’s introduction. The day he cracked a fresh egg into a glass I thought "they are getting supplies somehow." When Henry asked, "how old is that cereal?" my thoughts that they were getting resupplied were solidified. Seeing the parachute drop was awesome! Now, who thinks these guys are on an elaborate set like the Truman Show? Do the blast doors come down in the hatch so that the occupants don’t see that the food supplies are delivered by truck from a secret tunnel and not actually air dropped? If that’s so, why does the staff resupply and risk getting caught when they know that people are outside of the bunker? I must stop for now.
Numbers note from Hurley’s April 5 show: There were 23 people on the deck when it collapsed. The deck was designed to hold 8.
add a commentLost – Bangui connection March 22, 2006 11:31 pm
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Lost, Of Interest, TV / MoviesHeard a funny commercial on the radio today! "What’s the question on everyone’s mind? Is there a new episode of Lost tonight? YES!" Very funny.
So, want to see what the island of Lost is shaped like? Follow me. This ride is approximate 10 minutes long. You will need Google Earth installed on your computer.
- Let’s do some research. Go to Blingo (aka Google with prizes) and search for "Bangui"
- Choose the wikipedia link (shortcut)
- Now that we’ve learned a bit about Bangui, namely that it is a "commune or federal district in the Central African Republic," let’s return to Blingo and search for "Bangui Magnetic Anomaly" Peruse the links and gain a little background insight.
- Open Google Earth and search for "Bangui" which should put you in Africa
- While on Bangui in Google Earth, search for "4 8 15 16 23 42" (latitude 4° 8.15 longitude 16° 23.42)
- Put the check back on Bangui and zoom out to see that both searches are in the same region. The numbers are just left of Bangui where the meteor hit.
- Let’s find the antipode for the coordinates 4 8 15 16 23 42, that means the exact opposite place on the earth. Search for "-4 8 15 164 23 42" (180-16 = 164) As you zoom out you should start to recognize the spot as being a point between Australia and LA if you were 1000 miles off course.
BTW, The map picture in step 2 is what I conjecture the writers have based the shape of the island on. I think this trail touches on many potential sources for several of the story lines we have seen.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, LostSo today is a very, very important day to me. I wanted to wake early but the sleep was necessary. In order to see this day through I planned it out by hours. 8-9 x would get done; 9-10 y will get done and so forth. Already I am behind because of factors I could not predict or plan for. There is much to be lost today.
New Lost tonight! If I can squeeze in the time, I have something juicy to post also!
add a commentJJ Abrams Directs MI: III March 15, 2006 6:44 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, Lost, Of Interest, TV / MoviesJ.J. Abrams makes his big screen debut with "Mission: Impossible III" (The colon looks wrong there).
[he] told a crowd at the theater-owner convention ShoWest that he set out to make an action film that put characters first, spectacle second.
Directing Lost, Alias, and a movie. I wonder if one movie/style affects the other.
