"One Of Them" (Spoiler)

Oli · 02-09-2006, 05:26 AM

Only read the following if you have seen the trailer (as available on the tailsection homepage) otherwise this may be an unwanted spoiler for some of you.

We see in the preview that the counter reaches ZERO...I know theres been much discussion about what might occur, so I figured why not make a poll!

I'm personally quite convinced the episode will end once the counter reaches zero, much like when Jack recognised Desmond in the hatch...As that would be a dramatic device i'm not including it in the poll options.

Key to the Poll Options:
1 There is a revelation regarding the incident
2 There is a revelation regarding the 815 plane crash
3 A rather nasty catastrophe will occur as a result of not pushing the button
4 A combination 1,2 and 3 will occur
5 Absolutely nothing happens
6 Dharma/Hanso will arrive with party poppers, champagne, etc the experiment is finally over!!
7 Other (please post what exactly below, with spoiler tags!)

Well as I see on the main site, it could be another counter that has nothing to do with it! That would be really cheap! They'd have done this to us twice now. I'm writing ABC about it if this is the case.

The timer reaches Zero...... and Bobby Ewing steps out of the shower.

Who is Bobby Ewing?

Who is Bobby Ewing?

Sorry, this is probably a pretty obscure reference anymore.

In the early 80's, the big show here in the US was 'Dallas'. It was an evening soap opera about a disfunctional family (the Ewings) of rich oil tycoons in Texas. The family consisted of the father and mother (who had actually made their fortune the hard way by working for it), and two sons; J.R. and Bobby.

After three of four seasons the actor playing Bobby Ewing decide to leave the show. Seems to me they killed him off, or found some way to write him permanently out of the show. After a year of not being able to get a good job, he begged to come back. To accomodate the fact that he had been written out of the show, on the last show of the season (or maybe the first show of the next season, I don't realy remember) they had his wife talking to someone who was in the shower, and then out of the shower came Bobby. They made that entire year's worth of shows 'a dream' so that they wouldn't have to perform a miracle to get Bobby back.

The really funny part was that over the last few seasons the writers would occasional slip up and have a character refernce something that had happened during 'the dream year'. All in all, a pretty stupid way of handling the situation.

So, trying to be funny, I tried to tie that old Dallas lose end in with our 'timer'. Probably should have just kept my mouth shut; but that's my curse. Talk first, think later.

Have a great day. And welcome to the Tail Section.

hey, hal, who shot J. R. anyway? I loved that show when I was a kid.

You know, in it's way it was the 'Lost' of it's day. Good guys, bad guys, hot chicks around the pool, secret meetings in the barn......

All I remeber is that it was his wife's sister, some skinny chick whose name I have forgotten.

If there had been an Internet in those days it would have generated just as much traffic as "Zeke and the Motor Boat Bouys" did at the end of season 1 of Lost.
