The second episode of Lost aired last night. Let the water cooler chatter begin [spoiler alert!].
- Have you tried calling the Oceanic Flight 815 hotline number, 888-548-0034, shown on Frank's TV in Bermuda? Well it works! Right now there's just a recording from Oceanic Airlines letting callers know that they can check back later for updates and news about the found plane. You know I'll be calling every day.
- Charlotte's name: Charlotte Staples Lewis, is a reference to
Clive Staples Lewis, a.k.a., C.S. Lewis the author of The Chronicles of Narnia. - Entertainment Weekly scribe Jeff Jensen has an interesting theory about Charlotte: I am utterly convinced Charlotte Staples Lewis has been to the Island before. Maybe it was her giggly delight as she splashed about in the
Island's inland waters...there was something more to her reaction —
something that reminded me of another fantastical tale about an enchanted homecoming. The book is Prince Caspian, by C.S. Lewis, the sequel to The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
The story starts with a chapter called ''The Island,'' in which the
Pevensie kids return to Narnia via a mysterious island marked by ancient ruins and odd creatures. First thing they do: play in the water. - Daniel Farday, the "head case," is named after Michael Faraday, an English chemist and physicist who contributed to electromagnetism as a field of study. From Wikipedia:
"He established that magnetism could affect rays of light and that there was an underlying relationship between the two phenomena." Convenient since Dan remarked on the strange light rays on the island. - The name Lapidus may be a reference to the movieSleeper, in which one character says "Then I would talk like Mr. Lapidus, who got hit by lightning." The helicopter Lapidus flies to the island is hit by lighting. Sleeper
is about a man who wakes up after being frozen in liquid nitrogen for
200 years. - Ghostbuster hustler Miles Straume tries to call someone name Minkowski. According to Lostipedia, the name is a reference to Hermann Minkowski, the mathematician who pioneered the idea of 4-dimensional space-time.
- And in Nikki and Paulo news: The name Rick Lapidus appears in Nikki's Exposé script.
- Jensen wonders is Ghostbuster hustlter Straume will "meet" Nikki and Paulo and find out about the diamonds they were buried with?
