The status is NOT quo.

I loved this entire episode. I especially loved the moment when Hurley was talking to Rousseau about the whole island experience and said something about the huge monster thing on the island that no one seems to be looking for and how weird that is. Also, "pissed off giraffe". Am I crazy, or was that one of the theories the fans put forth early on as a joke? I was wondering if Fury lifted it as a bit of a SO.

In any case, any writer who has manipulated me enough to make me burst into hysterical laughter when I see a suicide jumper falling past an office window in one scene definitely has my respect. Wow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That was the moment where I checked to see who wrote it. Sure, I have no idea if an ME-alum made that moment so magical, but I felt validated by seeing the names there.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

I wonder if we'll see the office block jumper land (or jump) in somebody else's flashback down the line.

Yes, precisely. It was classic ME: do something horrifying and make the viewer laugh at it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

They're completely imaginary. Such is the power of Hollywood.

So you're saying the cast will be naked on the DVD extras? Sweeeeeeet.

I'm thinking that we'll be in the middle of a very serious flashback, and the jumper will jump all tragic-like, and it will only occur to us then that, hey, we're at a financial consulting firm--Hurley's downstairs!!

I was deconstructing the numbers for another Lost fan here at work, and we couldn't figure out a connection for 23--any ideas?

Well it's a prime number...

(Yes, I have been watching Numb3rs, why do you ask?)

23 Skidoo?

The island is run by Discordans, at the behest of the Illuminati.

They don't mess around with the extras.

I haven't been able to figure out a specific show connection, but, like 42, it has external significance. The number 23 figures prominently in the Illuminatus triology, by Bob Shea and Robert Anton Wilson.
