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.

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

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.

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.

Making the screen flash white AT THE EXACT MOMENT where the current time matches up with the time in which Desmond's visions began....you don't see how thats a major clue or a major error?

I think if they wanted to insert a flash for effect, they woulda done so with a "real" special effect. Since this obviously is the result of lens flare, I doubt the producers would think "well, we got this crappy lens flare thingy in our shot, let's write some dialogue around it and make it seem like an intentional special effect." At least, that seems unlikely to me.

[dknightx]

people who this this "flash" is intentional are the same people who think locke didn't blow up the sub, or that juliet's sisters medical report was intentionally wrong, etc, etc. hopefully someday they'll realize how retarded they really are.

[Huh?]

it wasn't a big white flash.
99% of the viewers didnt even notice it..hell i didnt even notice it.

the only people who did are the ones who noticed that the sub was slightly farther away when it blew up, etc etc etc

It is far more likely that it was a simply error one that almost any producer or director would figure was no big deal.

The lighting/rain machines/etc in those jungle scenes are a massive pain in the ass..they aren't going to go back and reshoot just cuz of a little glare.


could it be something else? of course...but it is not likely.

The producers and writers do not go to such little detail as many of you hear assume they do. They go far far beyond what any other show has probably done but every little wierd thing in a episode isn't some massive part of the LOST mythology.
