Get your stopwatch out and go to LOST season 3 Episode 8.<br /><br />At the scene where John & Desmond are in the Swan and the "system faliure" alert starts. Start the stopwatch right at the moment the final red countdown flipper flips it's final flip.<br /><br />See how long it takes before Desmond turns the failsafe key.<br /><br />All that crazy Electromagnetism lasts for how long?David Vox Mullenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10657347941403387015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289595359432630118.post-70669191766176683222009-10-09T16:46:18.276-04:002009-10-09T16:46:18.276-04:00It's been a while, indeed.

Here I am....I guess that makes you a prophet? :D<br /><br />24 had a great season this year, and I was glad Cherry Jones won an Emmy for her portrayal of President Taylor. Too bad Kiefer was passed up, and I wish Sean Callery had won "Best Musical Composition." Ah well, one more year left.Carinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12725674541932685626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289595359432630118.post-13990217015771131052009-10-03T23:46:09.561-04:002009-10-03T23:46:09.561-04:00Welcome back, Carina!

If true - if it was really in the episode - it could well mean that FlashForward is in our universe, where Lost is a TV show, and not in Lost's universe, where the events in our Lost TV show are really happening...<br /><br />Or, depending upon exactly where in the FF premiere the bus poster appears, it could represent an alternate universe - ours, with Lost as a tv show - which something in FlashForward will cause to change.<br /><br />At very least, the two posters - Oceanic billboard, and Lost on the side of the bus - are contradictory, since one comes from inside the Lost story (Oceanic) and the other is about or outside of the TV series (billboard for Lost).<br /><br />Which is why this is so much fun :)Paul Levinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609987407926836519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289595359432630118.post-63484035195979411712009-10-02T20:27:20.751-04:002009-10-02T20:27:20.751-04:00Very interesting theory!
