I can't believe it took me this long to realize it, but after re-watching "Further Instruction" and "Every Man for Himself" again (and in succession), it struck me that the cop that pulled Locke over in his flashback during "Further Instruction" (right after he picks up the hitchhiking Eddie) is none other than the anti-Sawyer, Others "deputy", Danny Pickett!

I used the "Search" tool and did a search for "Pickett" as well as a search for "Pickett is the cop that stopped Locke and Eddie" and I there were no results.

Anybody else catch that one? What do you think the importance is? Just another 6 degrees occurrence?

Now for all you skeptics out there, listen carefully to Pickett's voice while talking to Kate and Sawyer and compare it to the voice of the cop that tells Locke "I could still take you in for picking up a hitchhiker" - it's the same guy! Also, compare the facial expressions of this cop to Pickett's facial expressions when he is talking on the walkie-talkie to the Others and he is told that Coleen is hurt (while he is by Kate and Sawyer's cages) in "Every Man for Himself". It's Pickett! Now granted, he is clean-shaven and made to look a couple years younger in Locke's flashback (plus he is wearing that big, round cop-hat and sunglasses), but It's Pickett, IMO.

This is the first I've heard about it it's been almost two weeks. I'm afraid you'll need to post screen caps...

Yep, somebody has got to post screen caps before we can start to debate it. I'm guessing this is going to turn out to be another "Pot tent guard is Goodwin" or "Dr. Candle is Jin" thread, but I'll wait until I see some pictures.

Hello myothercaris...,

I don't have time to do the whole screencap thing at the moment, so if you or anOTHER would do it I'd be much obliged. I have to sign off for the night, but if there is no screenies posted by tomorrow evening, I'll do it myself.

Definitely NOT Pickett. See the following screencap:

Another "Rose is Michael" thread...

No, sorry. Pickett is played by veteran actor, Michael Bowen. I don't know who that guy is playing the sheriff's deputy, but it is not Michael Bowen.

Not to sound mean, but this has to be a joke thread right?

First of all, they look nothing alike...and it would make just as much sense to say the cop was Ben..or Walt (ok that's stretching it)

Second, Michael Bowen is (as mentioned) a veteran actor. He's been in Jackie Brown, Kill Bill, Magnolia, etc. So yeah, no it's not him.

Last season every man in the background of a shot was supposed to be Ethan. Even when they looked NOTHING like Ethan, folks would make threads about how sure they were. People are just desperate to connect dots that do not connect!!

I don't get it really, how can someone watch both episodes back to back and think it's the same person? Geeeez!

I don't get it really, how can someone watch both episodes back to back and think it's the same person? Geeeez!

This is coming up a lot, I just got through reading all twelve pages of the "is that Michael in the background leading Jack thread" . There was a lot of anger generated and moderators even had to threaten to shut it down to get people to behave. It wasn't Michael (confirmed by a VIP) but the guy did look like Michael from a distance. I think we have to realize that some people are better than others at facial recognition. We all use different features to compile a template in our mind we use to compare peoples faces. This is affected by gender, culture and neurological factors. Some people are completely unable to recognize or distinguish between peoples faces, it's called prosopagnosia. Anyway my point is some people are bad at recognizing people and they can't really help it , they really think these people look the same. Also just because someone sees a likeness that nobody else does , doesn't mean they'll confuse every facial comparison.

Well, I believe prosopagnosia might play a part, but I'm more inclined to think that the majority of such threads are started by people to get attention, or to screw with us, or just because they want to be "the first ones" to call it.

I don't think prosopagnosia alone caused the wave of "so, and so is the blonde girl who threw the bomb at the raft" every time a blonde woman made an appearance. As a matter of fact, I'm thoroughly surprised there isn't a thread saying Juliette / Collen was the woman in the boat...

There was a casting call for that Trooper when the episode was cast. It's a different actor. Sorry if this has already been established here but I wanted to point that out.

This is starting to ridiculous. We are having about a thread started each day like this. Is it ever going to stop? Are moderators going to have to eventually start banning people that start threads like this? I hope not, but the frenquency of the types of threads is going nowhere but up.

Is there a single documented case where some person on the island, like an other, was actually another person in somebody's flashback, that wasn't very obvious (like Inman)?

And I think twinbad and CrazyLatin are both correct. I think people 1.) are looking for subtle clues that they can go online and tell everyone about so they can feel special that they were the first ones to call it 2.) have prosopagnosia (thanks for bringing up that word badtwin, I think it's going to be getting a lot of use in the next couple years.

So far in the past week or two, we've gotten:

needle guy --> agent freedman
pickett --> cop
michael --> guy standing in background
tom --> weed guy
goodwin --> weed guy
desmond --> weed guy
hospital patient --> tom
penny --> juliet
sarah --> juliet (wouldn't Jack notice???)
some bald guy (someone's dad?) --> Locke

The funniest one is probably the pot guy in the flannel jacket (http://gallery.lost-media.com/displayimage.php?pos=-77198) that got compared to Tom, Desmond, and Goodwin. The thread about some bald 70 year old guy being Locke was hillarious, but I can't remember exactly who that was.

The Sherrif was played by Joel Himelhoch, so definitely NOT Pickett!

Not to plug another website, but if you can go on tv.com and search for Lost, you can find all sorts of info, included credited regular cast and guests for each episode. Doesn't list extras, but anyone with a speaking role.

Nope...

Another "Rose is Michael" thread...


More like Rose is Kate thread. Some of these comparisons are ridiculous.

I honestly don't know why I even came into this thread. Reading the title alone, I knew it was not Pickett. No need for screencaps, discussion, etc., I already knew it was not true. So I guess I can only complain about myself coming into this thread to begin with :redface:!!! LOL.

I can pretty much guarantee that its gonna turn out that most of the "others" do play MAJOR parts in everyone’s back story, and that we've seen then since the first episode of the first season in the flashback scenes and never noticed.

(quite possibly: Michaels accident, Jacks Divorce, Lock’s handicap, Hurley’s Lotto win, Kate’s arrest, Sawyers many many many various problems)

Example: Libby in mental ward.

How do the others no so much about the survivors? Why do they habitually use phrases significant to the characters?

"Let it go Jack"
"for someone who wants there son back so badly, you don’t know much about him Michael"

there are probably much more I’m not attentive enough to have picked up yet...

The only real example you give is LIbby, and there is no reason at this point to think she is an other. Morevover, TPTB made CERTAIN that everyone watching the episode saw that Libby was there, in the ward. They froze on her for a LONG time to make sure that we saw her. This thread, and so many more are a problem of people thinking that some arcane spilt second part of an episode is going to be important. NOTHING to date supports this theory. Nothing to date supports agonizing over the minutia that people do. The funniest thing that ever happened on this show was when the Mural was blown to pieces without ever being explained. And, again, even the Mural was onscreen for long periods of time. Long enough for us at least to know that there was a mural. What I would like to have a reasonable debate over is whether any of this screencap viewing is wothwhile. I suggest it is not.

Well said.

*cough* As someone who has been known to frequent the Lost-Media screencaps section from time to time *cough* there's something to be said for screencap viewing. There's simply tons of details going on in the background that you can't catch by watching it in real time. I doubt many people got the Numbers related bit on the crossword puzzle on the seat of Jack's car in AToTC in real time. It was nothing earthshattering, just a cool little detail.

But I tend to be very, very sceptical about things, especially after the Swan Station orientation film was shown, screaming on all the boards I go to "The guy on the boat who said 'We're going to have to take the boy' in the S1 finale is Gerald DeGroot!". D'oh! :redface:

Yes, I think the scene with Tom taking Walk is where it all started, with the blond girl and Tom being compared to everyone else. And ever sense, there has been 0 details found in screen caps that have played any major significance in the plot. There have been 0 people found in the background of one scene that were in fact a character in an unrelated scene.

People can keep on staring at screen caps for hours, but you're just wasting your time.

Geez people! Way to attack a newbie. Once it was established that it was a different actor, there was no need to keep hammering away at the OP.
In defense of MeAgainstTheWorld (apt name huh?) there is a certain resemblance between the two characters, as seen in these links:
http://gallery.lost-media.com/displayimage.php?album=1181&pos=68
http://gallery.lost-media.com/displayimage.php?album=1185&pos=93

Over the last few years, there have been plenty of dud theories and possible connections that didn't pan out. But that doesn't mean we should just give up the hunt. There have been enough instances of characters that appear in other peoples flashbacks that it stands to reason this trend will continue.

I say, good try MeAgainstTheWorld! I can see the similarities too.

And welcome to the Fuselage.

I'm not talking about the OP specifically. And I'm certainly not attacking anyone. I'm discussing two contrasting ways of watching the show, and asking the question of whether one has lead to anything of use.

Last season every man in the background of a shot was supposed to be Ethan. Even when they looked NOTHING like Ethan, folks would make threads about how sure they were. People are just desperate to connect dots that do not connect!!



....as the writers sit back and laugh hysterically at the culture they have created....

exactly, they created the culture because they never give us any REAL answers to talk about.. .

this show is slipping as tptb have made it way too complex with so many different characters and stories going at the same time....

this show will suffocate itself soon...

heroes is a great new show and they give us real answers every week... the secrets arent the mystery... the mystery is compelling without being secretive..

it makes me sick, but if LOST keeps suffereing in the ratings, fallling more and more out of line with the critics, taking three month breaks, it will be on Sci-Fi in a year with no budget at all to keep going..

just give us one REAL answer that we can trust...

TPTB are the ones with TRUST issues.

Ummmm, or you could just not watch the show as opposed to displaying an obvious reaction to the fact that the show is not progessing as YOU feel is necessary. If the writers are guilty of anything, it is setting the bar too high so that some audience members allow their expectations to get out of whack versus just sitting back and enjoying where the writers take us. You do have an off button on that remote....

*gasp* :shutup: And from my beloved Simplist!!!:thud:

Defenitly not arguing that Libby is an other. Nut am arguing that just as libby was revealed to have been closer to Hurley as we thought the others may do the same. To argue that its impossible for others to be sighted in the flashbacks proves that one doesnt know mch about LOST. Curveballs are thrown in on a weekly basis.

Keep in mind that i too laugh at the random look alike theories, and in no way think Pickett and the Cop are the same person.

Actually, the ratings are doing very well this season. Last week's episode jumped by almost 1 million viewers, and they've been holding steady between 18 and 16 million. So those are EXTREMELY good numbers, which is very, very good news for people who love how the show is progressing. Go Writers!!!!

Nope...

Another "Rose is Michael" thread...



Hehehe, hahaha LOL, this tickled me pink, thanks.

Re: TPTB not giving out any answers.

Well, it depends. I know exactly what the Numbers are for, where they come from, who grouped them together, what Alvar Hanso was doing getting involved with them, what their status is now.

But if you didn't follow the Lost Experience over the summer or see a recap of it --if you remain totally unaware of anything to do with it-- you don't know squat about the Numbers, other than what's been shown on TeeVee.

See, there's levels of knowingness. My sister doesn't think about the show once she clicks the TV off; it's just a good action/adventure/love story kind of thing for her and that's cool. Me, on the other hand.... :)

Another example of me seeing people who aren't there: Karl. I was convinced that he was the same guy who showed up for about 2 seconds in the 3 Minutes episode, that he was the same guy that was in a tent by the road that they were marching Michael down, in the fake camp. D'oh!

There's TONS of stuff that only screencaps will reveal, but with people, just look at the credits, that's an easy first step elimination process. :)

Seems to me that the two sides of this debate both have valid points. First, there's little question that the major plot points of Lost are never going to be revealed through a split-second background image -- the vast majority of viewers (99.9%) would never see it, so by definition that's just not going to happen. If those major plot points are your primary take-away from the show, it stands to reason that all of the huzzurah about crossword puzzles and "who's-that-in-the-background" may just annoy you.

But if part of what makes this show work for you are all of the interconnections between characters, all of the subtle hints provided between the lines, I think that there's a certain validity to reviewing screencaps for clues. The fact of the matter is that TPTB clearly love hiding clues in their scenes, and make it a point to build them into virtually every episode. I mean, no one spelled out for us that Randy, Hurley's boss, ended up as Locke's boss, did they? And many casual viewers will never figure that out. Just because no one has found a definitive example of an "Other" showing up in a flashback is no reason to believe it can never happen -- it might even happen more except for the realities of casting for a hit TV show. But it doesn't mean that finding such a detail is necessarily going to break open the Lost piggybank and cause all the secrets to come spilling out: at most I think we might see an interesting connection that give those of us who study these things a foreshadowing of what's to come, or a richer narrative experience than the casual viewer.

I think what's really bothering folks is that people seem to post these types of threads in particular without spending much time doing their own due diligence before posting. I know I personally never bother reading the threads that say "I JUST FOUND SOMETHING!" unless I see that it's gotten a lot of traction. But if someone does their own due diligence and still believes they've found a connection no one else has seen, I say go ahead and post it and let the 'Lage rip it apart if it's false.

Hey, that's what we're here for.:biggrin:

You do know the Lost Experience is a game that has nothing to do with the mythology of the real show right?

You do know the Lost Experience is a game that has nothing to do with the mythology of the real show right?

That's what I thought too. So I guess all the things stated there really mean nothing until it is shown on the show itself. Also I have to agree with the both sides over the shows answering of questions, and moving the story forward.Personally I don't feel that the story will ever truly move forward, or any real answers given. With that being said, I still watch and love this show very much, so I'm just the stupid personally in a bad relationship that won't leave :redface:! LOL.

Definitely NOT Pickett. See the following screencap:
http://gallery.lost-media.com/displayimage.php?album=1185&pos=93


Oh, I am afraid I am going to have to disagree with you there. That is Pickett. You cannot compare the eyes and the upper ridgeline of the head due to the glasses. But the area of the upper mouth and the jawline are a 100% match in my opinion.

Extremely good catch here. I will attempt to post a post-island picture of Pickett that you can use to see for yourself. Keep the link above me in mind as the pre-island picture.

Oggie, it's not the same person.

I mean, no one spelled out for us that Randy, Hurley's boss, ended up as Locke's boss, did they? And many casual viewers will never figure that out.

No way! I gotta check that out! I'm not a casual viewer by any stretch, but I only started getting SERIOUSLY into it at the beginning of the 2nd season, so I never knew that! That's amazing!

anyway, thanks for the feedback..

i still love the show,,, i still watch the show.. i still lage...

im just saying what a lot of people are saying... the poll in people magazine this week shows a lot of discontent with the show so far this season...

it has a lot going on and we never really get a TRUTHFUL answer... each answer has an out...

i guess the lage isnt the place to express thoughts anymore...

thanks though

....as the writers sit back and laugh hysterically at the culture they have created....

What's crazy is that once some of us looked at a promo shot and joked "How long will it take before someone thinks that guy in the background is Ethan?"

It took less than 30 minutes...and WE had a good laugh about it.

anyway, thanks for the feedback..

I feel you Simplist, and I understand what your trying to say. And to a large degree your right, and in this ep there were many examples of those answers with outs. But I'm just waiting to see if this problem will ever change.

Wow, I feel the exact same was as Simplist. Last year I became so angry with the show that I kind of just gave up. I still watched each episode, but I left the 'Lage (this is me returning for the first time in about a year), and I didn't even bother to read the reports on Easter Eggs in the episodes like I used too. Yet, I decided to give it another chance, because like it or not I am a huge Lost fan, and I have been since the begigning.

But I think that ratings will go down if TTPB don't start giving the fans answers. I know they are trying to drag it out for a couple more seasons, but we get restless, and at least one answer would be nice.

Just my $.02.
I think the Fuselage is like a party. At this party everyone happens to be talking about Lost. Not because they want to be right, but because it's fun. Fun to watch. Fun to talk about. Now, when you're at a party do you force everyone to agree with you and talk about things in the way you want them to talk. I hope not. But it seems that some folks want to roll their eyes and make people seem less intelligent or Lost-wise than others. I think that's...well...it's MEAN. Just mean plain and simple. What I've seen lately are schoolyard bully attacks on someone's honest opinion. Bottom line you can take from the show whatever you want and share it here. People may argue with you, but to laugh and ridicule folks when your own posts are full of misspellings is pretty arrogant in my opinion. The Mods are here to put threads in there proper place, stop offensive postings, etc and they do a great job. They don't remove threads because someone's idea is not very likely to be true. And god bless 'em for it. At points, I've thought the island was moving and Christian was a zombie!!! I just hope the attacks on unpopular theories comes to an end.

No question that you are right. However, as a guest at a party, you don't have to agree with everything that is said to you. And you can engage in lively debate. You just can't behave in a way that gets you in trouble with the host. I'm certain that we can discuss this in just such a way. But as long as these threads pop up (particulalry where they seem really, really off base), I'm probably going to show up and put in my two cents.

You're not really the type of poster I'm referring to. First of all, your spelling is impeccable:biggrin: . Secondly, you 'suggest' that the screencap analysis is pointless and give reasons/examples as to why. That's an argument and furthers understanding of the show and other folks ideas on it. Simply posting "ROTFLMAO" at someone is juvenile. This is the last I'll post on this topic. I don't want a non-Lost related back and forth.

I just wish would like certain folks to keep in mind that not everyone watchs the show frame-byframe on a 70-inch HDTV screen.

When I watch TV on my old 20-inch model from across the room, alot of people look alike. Cable TV makes it much clearer than using the rabbit ears, but it is easy mistakes similiar looking people for each other.

I can still tell the difference between Hurley and Charlie, but Scott and Steve are hard :rolleyes:

You do know the Lost Experience is a game that has nothing to do with the mythology of the real show right?

Um, you're wrong.

From a New York Times article about TLE (my BOLD):
What's different about "The Lost Experience," which will feature new characters, is that it is being devised by the show's writers, not by marketers, according to Michael Benson, a senior vice president at ABC. He said broadcasters from around the world would release clues in a variety of formats and that players would have to join forces online to solve them. Mr. Benson also said that any new information or clues revealed in the Lost Experience would be applicable to the TV show's story as well.

Carlton Cuse, a writer and executive producer of "Lost," who is also one of the creators of "The Lost Experience," said that the idea was conceived at a lunch that included Mr. Benson and Damon Lindelof, one of the show's creators. "We wanted to tell stories in a nontraditional way, and there were certain stories that Damon and I were interested in telling that don't exactly fit into the television show."

[Scottish accent] It's real! It's all BLOODY REAL!

:) :D

Oh, I am afraid I am going to have to disagree with you there. That is Pickett. You cannot compare the eyes and the upper ridgeline of the head due to the glasses. But the area of the upper mouth and the jawline are a 100% match in my opinion.

Oh for Pete's sake. Different actors, as 30 seconds of tooling around LostPedia would have shown. Danny Pickett, played by Michael Bowen. Cop played by Joel Himelhoch. Unless, of course, you're prepared to claim that TPTB gave Mr. Bowen a different stage name just to mess with us by sneaking him in as the cop. :rolleyes:

I can still tell the difference between Hurley and Charlie, but Scott and Steve are hard

Hahahahaha. I'm a gay man who really, really, really, really, REALLY likes to look at men. In the 40 years since I've had that revelation, I've become very good at scoping out dudes and noting details about them after looking at them for 1.5 seconds (necessary at hockey games or similar things so I don't get punched).

I'm sorry, Mr. Benson is wrong.
