Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
The Tempest. Act i. Sc. 2

I'm back, this week was busy and I haven't had a lot of free time. But now it's the weekend, and I'm working on reviewing new information from Abrams and Lindelof. I'm frightened by some of what I'm reading and hearing because it contradicts some of their earlier statements about the show. If they're going to keep changing the game, than anything could be possible as far as what's going on. On the other hand, some of what I'm seeing is very cool, so I'll see what it looks like when I'm done putting it together. I doubt I'll have any new theories, just information from them that will either rule out or support some of the one's we're already kicking around.
That's all for now, but I will give you a hint to one of the things I'm working on as a trivia question...what came out around February, 1997?

Are you talking about a book? A movie? A TV show? A theory? A procedure? Come on - little help here.

Solo Frenchwoman Arrives at South Pole
Laurence De La Ferriere, 39, of France traveled solo on foot approximately 800 miles from Hercules Inlet near Patriot Hills, to the South Pole, arriving after 55 days on Jan. 19. (See EN, November 1996).
An International Conference on the Radiological Situation at the Atolls of Mururoa and Fangataufa will take place at the Vienna International Centre , the Conference will scrutinize the results of a recent Study on the radiological conditions at the atolls.
The atolls, narrow rims of coral reef jutting a few metres above the ocean, located in French Polynesia in the middle of the South Pacific, were the site of nearly 200 nuclear tests carried out by France from 1966 until January 1996, when all French nuclear testing ceased.

How about Harry Potter? Things are never quite what they appear to be in Harry Potter.
It has reality, magic, the mystical and supernatural, science with a twist, interesting people, wondrous plots, good vs evil, growth and character development, backstory, unexplained creatures, an element of religious theory, speculation, die-hard fans.
For the most part there is also a sense of confinement, a group that sticks to itself and has limited interference from the outside world. There is also mystery, a hint of romance, danger, problems that need to be solved, a hero on a quest and his trusty band of side-kicks, a core group of leaders, a villain and a sense of its own "world" and the possibility of anything happening.
Everything within the world of Harry Potter is explained eventually and we are thoroughly immersed in its reality. As we read (or watch), we accept it as "real".
Could Lost be Harry Potter for adults?

Dolly the cloned sheep was created in 1996, but made public in February 1997.
Am I warm Pinn?
Cloning could explain how non-indigenous animals are there. The survivors could have been implanted with memories of the crash and pasts, and a fake/set-up crash would explain their artisitc scrapes and bruises.
I've been lurking for a while and have really enjoyed the board, and in turn have enjoyed the show even more, and scrutinize every scene looking for the smallest of hints. Thanks to all, and it is also refreshing to see a board led with intelligent exchanges rather than constant flaming for the sake of flaming. Well done all.

It's something we've already seen.

Lost World: Jurassic Park, The (1997)
lostami
Hint revised: We've already seen it in the show.
pinnerman
I hope it doesn't have anything to with a Joe Pesci/Danny Glover fishing movie.
Oswald
Or Titanic... although we've already had the disaster.
Contact came out in 1997, so did Mars Attacks! but I don't see how they fit in if we've "seen it."
JacksGirlfriend
Not a movie, we saw it in episode 2.
pinnerman
Something we saw in episode 2 is related to an event that happened in 1997?
JacksGirlfriend
Something we saw in episode 2 (something one of the survivors had possession of) originally came out around February 1997.
pinnerman
You had me researching - damn you. And I did find that there were several patents for transceivers in 1997. But what exactly are you looking for?
JacksGirlfriend
He is refering to the comic book.
Stainless HK
That's a pretty good guess. Is the date of issue 1997?
Never mind - I just noticed the date on the page (obviously blind).
JacksGirlfriend
Apparently, pinnerman's theories must age properly like fine wines or gourmet cheeses.
I, on the other hand, have the patience of a 2-year-old. It's been 3 hours since anybody posted in this thread! How is there anything scientific or pseudo-that in a comic book?!? And why am I so dense that I can't even imagine what it might be?
dry, who will soon go to bed and try to smooth her ruffled feathers.....

dry: I waited like five hours for his last theory. He kept putting teasers in all the threads. I finally had to get dressed and leave the house because I needed groceries. Families just don't understand when you sit and stare at a board, ignoring their needs, especially when nothing is happening!
I suspect he's fine-tuning this latest. Perhaps we're bringing aliens into the mix now...
The natives are obviously getting restless.
JacksGirlfriend
Ah well........Thank you for at least acknowledging the problem, JacksGirl.
I shall now retire for the evening. But there had sure better be something here tomorrow, or there's gonna be holy heck to pay!
dry, still contemplating possible penalties for those who put out teasers.......
drypelia
We're still waiting...
