But seriously, these things aren't long enough. I don't understand why you guys have a 30-minute limit. To be perfectly honest, I think you guys should jsut go on for as long as you'd like.

I am a first-time poster, long-time lurker...I have read several postings with confusion over how the show is taking place in 2004, but the game is taking place in 2006....now that fact was mentioned on the podcast.

However, oceanicflight815.com showed a baggage claim ticket for Jack Shephard dated Sept. 21, 2009. Which would clarify all of this...the show is taking place three years in the future...my guess is that they are planning the show's "arc" to end about then, and this game is a prequel to the events of the show.

I can't get oceanicflight815 to come up, but here's an article in USAToday.com alluding to that fact: http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2006-05-09-lost_x.htm

Check out the Time-space continuum bulletpoint for the reference.

Great podcast guys! My only complaint: not nearly enough sound effects. I know your "audio guy" was out of pocket, so I'll let it slide this week...

As sad as it makes me to say it, I don't believe we'll see RB making to the island next season. I just don't see TPTB stretching the audience so far as to go all "time travel" on our Joop-lovin' buttocks.

appreciate the sentiment but we really do understand why people were frustrated and feel like any conflict has been diffused with good communication and honesty.

hansoz,
the content was AWESOME this week in the ARG and we did skip a lot of stuff in the podcast because I simply didn't feel confident handling the material yet b/c it was all still very fresh in my mind. Remember I just got back in from New Orleans TODAY and am operating on less-than-optimal sleep. I guess I would rather not risk making stupid mistakes about something that I'm not clear on.

One thing I'm clear on...the latest 3 layers of info form richerdeeperbroader is AWESOME!

Sean, mstk, & Co,
You guys crack me up! I don't see why anyone would listen to these things in the first place, let alone ask (even petition) that they be longer! We really do work hard to only say insightful, necessary, or simply entertaining things on the podcast. Without repeating info from the blog, its a challenge to come up with content that fits those criteria. Adding more time = adding more work to our already burdensome workload. I'll take it as a compliment and will continue to be amused and humbled by your requests.

But don't you think, from a writer's perspective, that it is a better choice to start the game with a hacker? More mysterious...and then bring that hacker, whom you have formed a bond with, to life for your audience.

She started with small suspicions and gave us all the info she had as an employee as she happend upon it. As her suspicions grew, she grew from an inquisitive employee to an investigative skeptic. Then she had to quit in order to be free to follow execs and the like around the globe.

She was probably trained to be computer saavy but never had any experience in gathering. Probably didn't make a living as a professional hacker.

I don't know why I'm taking a stand like this. It has just been my gut from the beginning. I think the writers could probably figure out a way to explain it and make it work either way. As an audience member, I would prefer to see Rache = Persephone. In the same way I want to see Charlie good and with Claire.

I haven't done enough market research on myself to know why...but I know that's what I'd prefer to see happen.

3. I think BLOOD and the red letters were enough to lead us to the other two. I was here when Dennis & BellyOfDesire solved it...it took no time at all. Surely they would not have posted those if they wanted us to wait for Friday and Sat. TPTB should know that people will solve quickly and by any and all means available...in this case, guessing and clever deduction.

Okay now the comments.

Oh, gahd the phone call was hard to listen to again... good laughs ... but brutal on the ears.

Am I wrong or wasn't the "I have always worked for criminals" quote supposed to be from Mittlewerk, speaking as THF's lawyer.

Also, there is no real confirmation that the woman on the phone call was Persephone, it might have been Rachel's voice in the phonecall, and it might have been put there by Persephone, but that gives no validation to the idea that Rachel/Persephone are one in the same. IMHO.

"I work for criminals. Always have, always will." That was from Persephone's hack on Peter Thompson's biography, which might refer more to Thompson then Persephone.

I can see how P=RB, technically, but doesn't it seem like to anyone else that Persephone actually "knows" more than Rachel? I got the impression that Persephone knows about the island (from the hidden clues on THF.org, etc.) and it seems like Rachel is just finding out things that Persephone already knows about.

Someone correct me if I am way off base.

I found an archive screen shot of the luggage tag: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v301/kimsphotos/lost/lostpic3.jpg

It's is definitely dated 09 (although the 9 doesn't quite line up with everthing else...)

Maybe this is Jack's return trip from the island? I doubt hoever that he would fly Oceanic Air, even if there were back in business.

Podcast Comment

Given the requirement that you don't want to cover what is already on the blog, I think you had a good podcast, especially about Act 3. The fake interview was funny, however... It seems that it must take a lot of time to put the fake interviews together. Considering the "burdensome workload" you are under, they don't really add much to the discussion, except for a little comic relief.

I might suggest that you move the podcast to Mondays. Seeing as clues are now coming out Friday night (and possible Saturday), it would be nice to hear a weekly summary of what happened, with your analysis of what you think about the clues, etc.

Do australians write the year before the day and the month? I mean, I've heard of day/month/year, and month/day/year, but never year/month/day...

I don't know about Australians, but I write dates that way all the time, especially with files names - it makes them easier to sort chronologically.

Marci said...

About Jack's luggage tag: I noticed that too, but I thought it just meant that September is the ninth month.

September = 9th month makes the most sense.

BTW...

There are TWO new photos up at http://www.flickr.com/photos/mandrakewig.

Ok, to the admins, I can't really email right now but I can say this, I know that the beginning of the podcast excerpt about the person who has to leave work when the clues come and has to catchup for 3 hours the next morning was from me. And, let me reassure you, I work in an office in front of a computer. I answer the phones and do bills and I am a multi tasker. HOWEVER, I have been known to be a large exagerate-er. While I do love this game and it's fun and all, don't worry. I definitely have a life outside of this game and I can make it through the weekend without having to come to the office to check in on the game. I get my work done and the office has been a little bit slower than normal. No worries about my work ok?

So, just for clarification, I do have a life but I was kinda freaking out because I knew you were just about reading my previous posts word for word. Thanks! You guys are cool and I'm glad you cleared the whole savejoop issue up for me. I GREATLY appreciate that and the work you do for all of us.

The september thing does make sense, though I don't know why they'd write SEPT right after 09. ;)

It makes it easier to say and enter in to a computer at the same time.

If you tell me the month is 09... i have to think for a second uh... September? Sad, but true. Same thing the other way July is, uh ... 07?

I think the main thing is that I'm sure that 09 is not the year on the tag. So we are good on the time-line.

posted this in clue #65 comments, but it looks like everyone has moved over here:

So, let's do a quick "What do we really know?" after this revelation.

1. Mittelwerk commisioned a ship that is special in a way that prevents it from docking in just any port.

2. Mittelwerk told Paik he has a port that ship can dock in.

3. Mittelwerk had unmarked maps of islands in Lake Superior drawn up by the Copenhagen Cartographical Society.

4. Rachel told us thes Lake Superior islands are not the ones we are looking for. The island we are looking for is on/near the equator.

5. Mittelwerk drafted a letter on June 26 to his "team" stating that after careful scrutiny, sites alpha, beta and delta are rejected (presumably leaving site gamma) and that the site is a THF owned island not used in some time. (since the DHARMA initiative?)

6. This (gamma?) site will be used to carry out the "SPIDER PROTOCOL"

7. Mittelwerk is "reticent" about going back to the island but notes that it's "unique properties" will suit the project adequately.

8. I know this is getting awesome.

Podcast comment ^_^
after listerning to the podcast theorys i kinda disagree with the theorys about how the game will finish
sorry for the large post

(act 2 end of)
The show and the game seem the same in the way they write the characters giving them dark pasts etc so im guessing by the end of act 2 we will find out why Rachel/Persephone (same person or sisters) are going against the Hanso foundation.
In many posts other characters have asked why Rachel is after hanso but shes kept silent about it, could be related to a parent problems like lost characters.

(how the game will connect with the show)
Also i dont think rachel will appear in the show because if she was they would of hired a better acter, im not saying she's terrible but compared to the other acters on lost shes not as good. I think somehow it'll connect through alvar hanso or the hanso family so:

1)We will find alvar in the last game act and he will talk about the island and how it was found by magnus hanso, this will link into the others on lost and the islands history

2)or we will find out hanso is hiding on the island but not know where.
i agree that the foundation will get to Rachel at the end of this act tho after she gives away about her past.

I don't know the letter just seems full of holes.

According to this website, Enzo was born in the 1920's on the island of Sardinia. According to Dan's caller he was lost in a plane he was piloting between Naples to Paris. So why San Remo? Unless there's no direct flights from Iceland to Sardenia (I think Thrasher is checking into that).

most of the time to get to Sardenia you have to fly into the mainland (Italy) and then take a boat over...

Also, Sanremo is between Naples and Paris...not the most direct route, but it's possible he flew over Sanremo and that's where he ended up...

if Enzo was born in Sardinia, then SOMEONE has the wrong info, because RB has said he's from San Remo...

First of all I am sure that THF has a private jet, so he could be able to go anywhere he wants to. Second there is an airport in Sardinia, airport code is OLB. Flights from Copenhagen go to Fiumicino airport first then on to Sardinia, there are no direct flights from Copenhagen to Sardinia or San Remo. In fact there is no airport in San Remo, the closest I can find is San Domino Island, TQR. Which is closer to the island of Sardinia.

I'm with you - in really traditional drama, the second act usually ends with some kind of horrible tragedy (ie - Rachel getting abducted or killed). Maybe in the third act, we will be more on our own, trying to find her?

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the third act tied into the third season somehow. We have to remember that the game is first and foremost a marketing tool for ABC - they're going to want to drive people to the show in the fall.

Sardinia (an island), and a region of Italy, sits just south of the Island of Corsica in the blue Tyrrhenian Sea. It's about 160 miles long, 68 miles wide, and 115 miles west of the Italian mainland.

It has survived invasions by the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Arabs, Byzantines, Spanish Savoyards and Italians, and local festivals still reflect those cultures.

Numerous prehistoric Nuraghe castles, villages, temples and tombs dot the countryside, and with its perfect weather, tourists arrive in droves, many by ferry.

Note the last part of that, 'many by ferry', so it would make sense to fly into the mainland and then ferry over to Sardinia...who knows?

omniscient, it's really not that off course. it's pretty easy to take a boat from the Riviera to Sardinia actually, and that's really how most people get there (same with Sicily), because it's way cheaper.

Omnicient - not really, San Remo is a coastal town in the Italian Riviera, directly south is Corsica then Sardinia. Be equivalent to flying from Boston to Florida in terms of distance...or close to it.

Gotta keep my facts vague, you people are on top of everything!! I like it!!

I'm going on record as saying the same guy who was in charge of printing a map to be shown in rachel's video was also responsible for this part of the game. It will be explained away in the next clue.

RB says "END OF THE WORLD"

Now does she mean end, like in the end of the bread, it is all gone, OR

end of the car, as in, front vs back, the back is the end of the car?

Could the "end of the world", mean the end (or the position)that contains the opening to the earth's interior?

Ha, ha - good point drama. If they get really Shakespearean on us, then Rachel will have to kill DJ Dan and then throw herself into a volcano or something. After killing Mittelwerk, Peter Thompson and Alvar Hanso, of course.
