Lorne ,'Why We Fight'
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
They always preboard people with small children and special needs.
I know. My point was that an average looking guy in a wheelchair isn't an odd enough sight to turn any heads, but a woman in handcuffs probably would have been. So I wonder where they hid her.
I thought of all those things too. I still find it odd that not one person noticed him. Maybe it is all Walt. He seems like the observant type.
Secret message to lisah: Hi! Florida is 75 degrees and sunny today. It will get back down into the low 50s as a high early next week, but it will be back up into the 70s by late in the week. It's good to be home. I miss you. Does the band have a CD yet?
I don't know a lot about philosophy, and I'm late to the thread so maybe this has been discussed, but has anything been made of the fact that his name is John Locke?
The real question is, why does he get to be called by his last name
They all call Sawyer by his last name, too. It could also be the way they introduced themselves to the other passengers.
Is Hurley a last name or a nickname?
Hurley's a nickname. IIRC, his actual last name is Garcia.
eta: Ha! As it turns out, IDNRC, IRI.
Also:
My real world answer to this would be that a lot of people don't tend to see a person in a wheelchair, they see the wheelchair.
Yup, this. Not extremely nice, but extremely likely.
Hurley's a nickname. His real name is Hugo Reyes.
Do we know for sure that Sawyer is his last name? Since it's fake, it could be either.
[edit:
IIRC, his actual last name is Garcia.
That's the actor's last name.]
has anything been made of the fact that his name is John Locke?
There was a mention of it up thread, along with Rousseau.

And Jack's last name is Shepherd. (His father's name: Christian Shepherd)
I still find it odd that not one person noticed him. Maybe it is all Walt.
Hmmm. Is 10 young enough to be pre-borded? Because if Walt was also getting on the plane early, that might explain why he would notice Locke. (Michael might not, because he's been socialized not to stare more thoroughly, plus I'm sure he was thinking about other things.)
Of course the whole theory is sort of undermined by the fact we've seen no hint Walt knows Locke was in the wheelchair. (Have we?)

I always assumed it was supposed to be a first name. It's less goofy as one than Boone is, anyhow.
Because my ass is always in fucking "group 4", I never see those who pre-board. I'd have no idea if someone was in a wheelchair or not.
