They're completely imaginary. Such is the power of Hollywood.
So you're saying the cast will be naked on the DVD extras? Sweeeeeeet.
Wesley: And how does your kind define love? Demon: Same as all bodies. Same as everywheres. Love is sacrifice.

[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.

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

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

The status is NOT quo.
Well it's a prime number...
(Yes, I have been watching Numb3rs, why do you ask?)

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.

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.
Am I the only one who was going "They need Charlie Eppes from Numb3rs to crashland on the island and figure the code out for them?"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"They need Charlie Eppes from Numb3rs to crashland on the island and figure the code out for them?"
The title of the ep had me right there.

Illuminatus--thanks!
The EW recap is up, and very funny:
I loved it that Sawyer made a ''Short Round'' reference in the same episode in which the guys had to cross a very Temple of Doom-esque rope bridge. (''Doctah Jones! Doctah Jones! Booty traps!'')...
If [Claire's] kid's gonna be the Antichrist, I say let's just get it over with. Maybe the baby will pop out with 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 tattooed on his forehead.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
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
I'm not sure it was a suicide. More likely some poor window washer who reached a bit too far to get the last spot on that window up on thirty.
