HUGE Lost news?! (spoilers?)


Recommended Posts

OK, so I'm watching NBC's "Chuck" right now, and, if you don't know the premise, it involves a geek who gets tons of government secrets downloaded into his head. Anyway, the most recent scene had him viewing images that triggered certain portions of the government data, and one of the things he spouted was:

"Oceanic flight 815 shot down by..."

Now, this is more than likely just an amusing nod to "Lost" by the writers of "Chuck," but what if it's not? What if the people behind "Lost" thought it'd be interesting to team up with the "Chuck" people and put a little bit of information about "Lost" into "Chuck"? The creators of "Lost" are known for all sorts of weird ARG-type things, so maybe this actually means something?

What do y'all think?

That's weird. Chuck is NBC isn't it? Why would NBC, a competing network, advertise for ABC? Huh, that's odd.

You say that but not in the same league I know but Heroes had a little joke about Lost last season so they can trade stuff I would imagine given the right permission.

Not only is this not HUGE Lost news, it most likely not any kind of Lost news.

Maybe the show creators just like Lost and wanted to reference it in some way. Or maybe they don't like it as having the plane shot down would be a pretty unoriginal plot development for Lost. Maybe it has nothing to even do with Lost, Oceanic has been used in a few movies and TV shows.

What surprises me is that people still care about Lost.. especially when there are shows like Heroes on TV..

:laugh:

Maybe because its a good tv show and that ive invested myself into watching 3 seasons of it, im not gonna give up because someone like you doesnt think its good.

1st episode of Heroes s2 was crap.

the first episode of seson 2 wasnt great, the second one on the other hand is much better. althuogh the whole claire story is still stupid but anyway. yeah they use oceanic airlines in loads of tv shows its just the generic name they use. i dont know why.

LOL didnt notice this thread...

but yea after checking it out, it appears Oceanic airlines is used in a lot of shows: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceanic_Airlines

Executive Decision: Oceanic Flight 343 from Athens to Washington, DC was hijacked by terrorists.

Code 11-14: an FBI agent searches for a killer aboard Oceanic Airlines flight 816 bound for Los Angeles from Sydney.

Lost: The show revolves around the aftermath of the crash of Oceanic Flight 815 from Sydney to Los Angeles. The producers of Lost also created a website for the fictional airline, including clues and references to the show's mystery.

Alias: Oceanic's flight to Sydney is briefly mentioned in an announcement at LAX, when the show's main character Sydney Bristow is there. Alias and Lost were both created by J.J. Abrams.

LAX: Advertisements and computers in terminals in LAX feature the Oceanic Airlines name in the episode Senator's Daughter.

Chuck: In the episode Chuck Versus the Helicopter, Chuck mentions "Oceanic Flight 815 was shot down by surface-to-air missiles" when a string of secrets stored in his mind are tapped ? a completely different plot than what is believed to have happened on the ABC series Lost.

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years
    • Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I a;ways do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions a concept before defining it, e.g., relays.
    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
