I got it...

Desmond was actually hired by ABC to generate the EMP at precisely the right time. They planned the entire crash just to make their TV show a hit.

Yeah, that's the ticket.


This thread sort of ruined my fun. I mean, I know it's all fake, but now it's like way fake. It takes several months to put a show like this together so in any kind of reality the crash must have taken place way sooner.

Unless...

We're all mere figments of Hurley's imagination.

Exactly.

a lost tv show should have never been mentioned.

Exactly. They screwed up the continuity and now they say, "Oh, just suspend disbelief and pretend the show aired a year later."

I'm fine with suspending disbelief for things like evil corporations, genetic experiments, organ harvesting, and even the 105-year-old orangutan. I can do that, no problem.

I think it's a slap in the face for everyone playing this game when TPTB tell us to suspend disbelief in order to cover up sloppy writing and poor planning. As a friend of mine said, "How can we play the game if we're continually told to suspend disbelief of things that were previously thought to be facts in the game?"

Pretty much, the game can be linked to elements of the show, but the show is not directly linked to the game.

Either way, it doesn't bother me, I just find it's something else interesting to do.

ABC says you don't have to watch LOST to play the game, which is true. It's also true that you can play from the UK and Austrailia, even though you will be a few episodes behind the people in the US.

I think it's becoming more and more obvious that there are clues in the tv show that can help people understand what's going on in the game and clues in the game that can help people understand what's going on in the TV show, but none of these clues are critical to either enjoying the show or playing the game. I don't think it's quite fair that the people in the UK and Australia are several episodes behind us in the US, because it makes it harder for all of us to discuss the game vs. show cross-over clues. However, won't everyone be caught up to the season 2 finale by September? Also, there may be times when the game masters give clues to the people in the UK and Australia that we in the US dont get, just to help keep the playing field more even. For instance, the Ninja gave out copies of Bad Twin that had some sections highlighted as clues in the game.

We players will continue to share information on these boards to help everyone play the game as well as they can. It's just up to the individual players to decide how much they want to know from spoiler posts.
