Tipping the Scales

Other Stuff from Other Sites

  • Some good stuff from EW’s Doc Jensen on the many Alice in Wonderland references we’ve seen on Lost, specifically regarding last week: click here.
  • “The SUV Sayid is about to get into before being taken by Omar has the same license plate as Jack’s jeep (2SAQ321). ” [Lostpedia]
  • “Shen ring: the hieroglyph tile on the wall in the temple hallway that Ilana pushes to open the secret passage is a Shen ring. The Shen ring is an ancient Egyptian symbol of eternity and protection. In ancient Egypt, the Shen Ring also represents dual concepts of time; the cyclic line of periodicity and lineal time (into infinity).” [Lostpedia]
  • I was right about that song. “Catch a Falling Star: this 1957 song is sung by Claire in The Hole and played after the temple is destroyed. Claire is singing Catch a Falling Star, which she asked the Stewarts to do for her baby (“Raised by Another”) ; the mobile in the nursery played the melody (“Maternity Leave”); and Kate sang to Aaron while she was raising him.” [Lostpedia]
  • Okay, so there’s only one Omar in tonight’s episode. Sayid’s brother’s name is “Omer.”

That’s all for this week. After the fast one the writers pulled on us this week (hinting this to be a Sun-centric episode to parallel season 1), we probably shouldn’t expect next week’s episode to tie into season 1’s “The Moth,” which told the tale of Charlie’s heroin addiction. That, or we could just read the title, “Dr. Linus” and assume it probably ain’t about Mr. Pace. Until then…

  1. I have heard a couple of “coined” names for Smokey…”Smocke”, and the “Smokeness Lockester”.

    Also, I thought “Smocke” was going to take Sawyer off the island…when and how? and where is Sawyer? I must have forgotten something.

    Did Dogen work for Sun’s Dad back in China?

  2. Dogen of the Temple, seems like the corresponding Desmond of the Hatch. Both were there to “protect” the ???? island?
