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.

    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
    • I made a new Cinematic/Trailer for the game, this will be the intro, still a work in progress!  I also updated the Steam page with a ton of new screenshots! 👀 https://store.steampowered.com/app/3925340/Incoherence_Dark_Rooms/  
    • Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
