I haven't looked into this much, but I imagine some African countries are former Portuguese colonies, so this might tie into the men at the listening station and the Portuguese version of Catch-22 as well.

Portugal had several African colonies: Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau on the mainland, and the Sao Tome e Principe and Cape Verde ISLANDS [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img]

Also, Argil-22 is the Brazilian Portuguese translation of Catch-22, I believe in Portugal the book was called Codigo-22. Also, the guys in the arctic hut had Brazilian
accents.

(6 years after graduation from college, my degree in Portuguese is finally paying some dividends!)

Ardil also means "smart like a fox" or "astute", but I'm not sure that has much meaning in this case.

remember when Ethan says I had to strap you down...towards the end there it gets reaaallly bumpy

Are we to assume that this may be why the helicopter crashed possibly? some kind of artificial turbulence?

[/ QUOTE ]

A good call - just being under water dissipates the EM field so the sub doesn't break apart like a plane.

[turnipmonster]

is the consensus that the submarine was a meaningless prop? bumpy ride, whatever. clearly they have a different way of getting to/from the island.

[AZK]

That's kinda what I was wondering too, I mean if the sub. blew, why would juliet have any allegiance to ben if that was the only way off the island...so obv. there is another way.

Superman Would So Totally Beat The Flash in A Race
Speaking of the Flash, there was a flash over Hurley's left shoulder shortly before the arrow trap. This was time being changed. This was the moment that Desmond decided in favor of Charlie's life. He looks for and sees the trap before it happens, giving him time to tackle and save Charlie once again. That flash represents the timeline skewing off in a different direction, another (alternate?) tangent - all at the complete mercy of Desmond.

Ridiculous. This actually exists. I don't think we can really question Lost's attention to detail.

[/ QUOTE ]

I actually saw this too and mentioned it to my roomate. He swore it was just the sunlight's reflection though.

[/ QUOTE ]

Assuming this is what you're talking about, I think it's just lens flare...



[/ QUOTE ]yeah thats it. Although brief it was VERY NOTICABLE to me. Many havn't noticed I guess though, so maybe I'm just overreacting. I just can't imagine that they'd make a mistake that big and that it'd happen just as we got to the point in the story that Des had been having the premonitions about.

[Huh?]

how does that qualify as a big mistake. there shooting in the rain in the jungle...its like one second of film. Its just a lens flare etc.

[DonkeyKongSr]

I noticed it. I rewound and watched it again. It looked much more like a filming issue than an intentional effect.

[lippy]

I would wager a fair amount of money it was intentional.

It happens EXACTLY when he says the word flash. This is the exact point when Desmond recognizes the conversation. There is little possibility this is a production error coincidence.
