Flailing around at the numbers...
I looked up the sequence in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, and came up empty.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
I was a big geek last night and tried adding all the different combinations of those number to find anything significant. I didn't really find anything (although I had fun number crunching).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Signed, also haven't finished the LotR books, have read no Harry Potter, That Book with Rabbits, and whichever book Sawyer was reading in this episode. I should walk around in smock with a giant P branded in the front for Philistine.
Man. And here I thought we had something in common.

Yeah, I added them together and got 108. Which is 9 x 12.
AND OMG 9/12 IS MY BIRTHDAY!!!11

I think he was reading "A Wrinkle in Time" this ep. He must have found a kid's suitcase this time around. With that long of a flight, I'm surprised there wasn't more reading material on board.

It's funny that the only person we've seen reading so far is Sawyer, the resident redneck. I'm rather charmed to think of Sawyer being enthralled with children's books.

Yep, definitely A Wrinkle in Time. I think the writers are having fun showing Sawyer reading incongruous things that the audience is likely to recognize.

But he's not reading children's books, per se. Watership Down is ostensibly "about bunnies," but it's far more complex than that. And A Wrinkle of Time, while written for a younger audience, if I recall correctly, is also much deeper than your regular child's fare.
I'm really waiting for this to manifest itself in his character. Like, is he actually getting anything out of these books? Was he a reader before, or is he truly that bored?

I loved his Lord of the Flies moment last week. And I do think it's really interesting that we always see him reading. Of course, he may be the only one reading because he's hoarding all the books.

Our wings are not tired.
Until the writers say otherwise I am convinced that he is a reader and that the choices are what's available.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He chould be reading Danielle Steel (okay, I don't keep track of the 'chick' rack at the airport) or Clancy or Grisham.
