A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Loretta Lynn carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

hmmm. Not sure that's right. US only needed to win 2 matches to come in 3rd place in 1930? Actually maybe it is, there were only 13 teams in the first WC. huh! |

I gotta tell ya, I was lost in Rhode Island once and stopped at a fire station to ask for directions. I couldn't understand one thing that guy said. |
Tue. 6/17/14 10:55am
Robert:
"Lost" contained various clues to its She-Devil cx in the form of references to hunter vs. fisher, and a character with a couple of moles on her face. It's all part of the theme in the hidden plot of "Lost" of persons imitating & usurping other persons' identities, as per "She-Devil", "Seconds", and Flitcraft. There were clues all over the place. | |

When I started working in RI, I was told that if you are driving for more than 45 minutes in RI, you're lost. |

It also helped that David Lindelof (the father of "Lost" co-creator Damon) sat us down one night and showed us the entirety of the TV serial adaptation of Weldon's novel, plus the Roseanne Barr movie. | |

Robert:
"Lost" even had its character corresponding to Fisher live in a big foot at the edge of the sea, and it was implied that the foot had once been part of a high tower. | |
