Not Lost on us: references

We at clunkyrobot.com are big fans of the ABC TV show Lost, just like the rest of the world. While there is still speculation as to whether the show will eventually reveal the answers to all it's mysteries, it consistently is entertaining. For an episode of Lost to be fully successful for me, it must meet a few requirements. These past couple of episodes have done just that.

I do not need to have the mysteries explained to me, in fact, I would rather they are not. And if a mystery is in any way clarified, it must be couched in at least 2 more mysteries. (for example: "We found another hatch! wait... we found 2 more hatches!!)

Also, layered clues especially make me happy. Here is an example from the past couple of episodes that was pointed out to us by our co-worker Neil: The mysterious man that the French Woman captures in her net says his name is Henry Gale. He says he crashed on the island while flying around the world with his wife in a hot air balloon. Henry Gale is also the name of Dorothy's uncle in The Wizard of Oz, who also plays the Wizard himself... who also flies away in a hot air balloon!

tight!
