LOST season 2 finale!!

Posted 25 May 2006 in pop culture

OMG, did y’all see Lost last night?

It continues to amaze me, just how detailed and convoluted this storyline is. I was happy to see that my theory may be correct that the electomagnet device was responsible for the downing of the plane. But even so, there are a multitude of connctions between characters to resolve and new questions to be answered. In the meantime, here are a few tidbits to gnaw on until next season…

• The people in the tent playing chess were speaking Portugese.

• One of the people in the tent looked a hell of a lot like Jack.

• There was a major tie to The Odyessy, with Desmond as Ulysses and Penny as Penelope – Ulysses’ faithful wife who waited for him (and kept her other suitors waiting) when he sailed away for years on the Odyssey.

• Don’t forget about Widmore, Penelope’s last name. Widmore construction signs were visible in scenes with Driveshaft, shooting the commercial or playing a gig. Her father, papa Widmore, is loaded and must have some connection to the Hanso Foundation, at least funding them or supplying their experiments. Probably built the hatches? Can’t remember that far…

•Libby’s dead husband was also Hurley’s imaginary friend, David.

• Kelvin, Desmond’s button mate, is the guy who taught Sayid to torture.

• And also, Kelvin served in the armed forces with Kate’s stepdad (he drove Sayid in his Jeep and we saw that shot of a young Kate’s picture in the dash).

• During the capture scene, one of the words that the whispering voices said was “Elizabeth”.

• Desmond’s full name is Desmond David Hume. David Hume was an 18th century enlightenment philosopher who was highly influenced by another philosopher, John Locke.

• As for the statue remnant of the foot (with four toes), in 2004 Thomas Love Peacock released a book called Headlong Hall – a 19th century scholarly satire. In the description of the book is this passage:

“The place is quite a wilderness, said Squire Headlong: “for, during the latter part of my father’s life, while I was finishing my education, he troubled himself about nothing but the cellar, and suffered everything else to go to rack and ruin. A mere wilderness, as you see, even now in December; but in summer a complete nursery of briers, a forest of thistles, a plantation of nettles, without any livestock but goats, that have eaten up all the bark of the trees. Here you see is the pedestal of a statue, with only half a leg and four toes remaining: there were many here once.”

That’s all I’ve got for now. What else did you notice?
