Interview with Hugh McIntyre, Hanso Foundation Communication Director, on the Jimmy Kimmel show last night...

I think my favorite part of the show last night was Sayyid's commment about the large thing that wasn't expected to be there.  (feel free to be spoilery in the comments here if you so wish, I figured I'd spare any of my friends who might want to watch it but haven't yet)

did you find the code in the hansocareers.com site? it unlocks more information on the main site and relates to the shut down of dharma the interviewee is talking about.

where? i sent them an email saying i wanted to be an organ courier

[julishka.livejournal.com]

in each of the job descriptions, there were certain letters in gray. if you take all those letters you get:
nslutmIemAya it's an anagram. i found it quite quickly after entering the careers site during the commercial, but was bogged down with the unscrambling of the anagram.

the lost blog gave me the answer:
http://www.lostblog.net/

and that answer works from the board of director's page at hansofoundation.org (you must be logged in through persephone, first.)

note that the letters in the anagram also spell out namaste and some gibberish leftover letters. somehow i think that is relevant, too, but i'm not sure.

[alonewiththemoon]

ooh, I've got it!

[julishka.livejournal.com]

i'd also like to point out the letters spell:
my anemia slut. i have not tried these on the site. hehe.

[alonewiththemoon]

Shannon's been dead for a while, that phrase probably wouldn't work. Mrow!! ;-)

[alonewiththemoon]

I found all the grey letters, but I haven't figured out what they mean--I'll take hints! :-)

[brigid.livejournal.com]

the large thing being the foot? what did he say?

[alonewiththemoon]

"I don't know what is more disturbing: that the rest of the statue is missing, or that it only has four toes." He just said it so matter of factly, in that Sayyid way.

watch, now somehow they will tie it back to "the lost city of Atlantis."

[alonewiththemoon]

One could tie it to Ozymandias:

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said:—Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

[firefly124.livejournal.com]

Ozymandias was the first thing that came to mind for me, too. Except there was just the one leg.

[brigid.livejournal.com]

ah i thought you meant the jimmy kimmel show

in general i didn't love last night's episode

[cassel.livejournal.com]

This episode sort of put the final nail in the coffin of the Purgatory Theory, didn't it?

[brigid.livejournal.com]

thank god, i hated that theory

[cassel.livejournal.com]

I dunno, I'm not too happy with this current plot in which Jack's ex-wife's company is somehow responsible for not only hiding the island, but trapping him and her English ex as well.

Watch, we'll find out her father somehow was responsible for dumping them there.

[alonewiththemoon]

That wasn't Jack's ex-wife, whose name was Sarah and was recovering in the hospital at the time that Desmond was meeting Penny Widmore at the arena (with Jack in the background). I think Penny is trying to untangle the Dharma Initiative et al from the outside, and I'm sure her father is involved in the island's secrets--at the Hanso and Widmore websites, you can see overlap on the boards of directors. Though how Penny *knew* to look for an EM pulse is an interesting question...

I hated the Purgatory theory too :)

[cassel.livejournal.com]

hmmm.. I should start paying closer attention. I also didn't realize that Libby was David Widmore's wife and, therefore Penny's stepmom. If Penny knew about the island (why else would she be looking for the EM pulse?), I wonder if Libby did as well.

[alonewiththemoon]

Penny's father was named Charles though...

oops!

[cassel.livejournal.com]

I told you I had to start paying more attention!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_perihelion_/]

but hurley's imaginary friend was named Dave! those two are so intertwined.

[alonewiththemoon]

I actually did/do suspect that Libby made up a name on the spot and that there was no husband--I didn't even remember, at least not consciously, that Hurley's imaginary friend was named Dave. I thought Libby was just making everything up on the spot, and that her next stop after coffee was going to be the boat store to have a boat ready for Desmond.

god one can get into such convoluted theories with this show... ;-)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_perihelion_/]

the episode was even named Dave

+++I think my favorite part of the show last night was Sayyid's commment about the large thing that wasn't expected to be there.+++

Definitely! And I wonder what relevance that artifact is going to have going into Season 3.

[firefly124.livejournal.com]

Oh, and didn't the woman who gave Desmond her husband's boat look like Libby? Which is a reasonable nickname for Elizabeth. The hair was wrong, but otherwise, I just kept looking at her and thinking, "No, no way!"

[alonewiththemoon]

That was indeed Libby, all cleaned up and sort of sane and rich :-)

"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. When I was a boy, I used to sit every day on the shoulders of Hercules: what became of him I have never been able to ascertain. Neptune has been Iying these seven years in the dust-hole; Atlas had his head knocked off to fit him for propping a shed; and only the day before yesterday we fished Bacchus out of the horse-pond."
