The "Not in Portland" Eater Egg is of course Mittelos which is an anagram for Lost Time. I'm with you on this one.

Here's a question: Cuse says a COUPLE of easter eggs, so what is the other one? I don't have this episode on DVR or anything so I can't rewatch it, but I would be curious to know if anyone has found anything else.

not in portland was the eppisode that Kate and Sawyer helped rescue Carl from the the "clockwork orange" hypnosis room. I don't remember the actors name (the guy from "it's alway's sunny in Philidelphia") was reading a book about time travel. I would assume that would be an easter egg.

[QUOTEThere is two reasons why this will likley not be it.

#1 So if we were to actually watch scene like this it wouldnt make pratical sense. So they lie down in the caves to die right? The only thing is that they would lie down next to the skeleton's of adam and eve. Remeber the skeletons are there already, so it wouldnt be a revelation or anything it would just be a fitting place to die.

#2 Adam and Eve are revealed in season 1. At the time they were shooting season 1, time travel was not going to be part of the show (link here: http://www.scifi.com/sfw/issue406/news.html ) Here is a quote: "I don't think we've shown anything on the show yet ... that has no rational explanation in the real world that we all function within. We certainly hint at psychic phenomena, happenstance and ... things being in a place where they probably shouldn't be. But nothing is flat-out impossible. There are no spaceships. There isn't any time travel." Lindelof

Ok and from the a few posts above the producers said they had an idea about the adam and eve from the bieggining, and since in the begining they had no plans of time travel, it must be the adam and eve are people from the past. Also in that link a few posts above, they said they fit into a "timeline" a timeline always asumes time is a straight line.][/quote]
My Point was that Kate and jack go "back in time" before the adam and eve bones existed(and now as we know, after they escape the island.)
everyone seems to hate the timeline theory because they think it is a cop out for the directors, but I still think it leaves room for your imagination. ENJOY THE SUSPENSE WHILE IT LASTS 2007-2008 WILL BRING MULTIPLE SHOWS THAT WILL FEED ON THE STORY LINES WE ARE CREATING ON THESE CHATS.

First was Lost Time anagram, and I believe the second is the age of the women based on an x-ray of their womb. Juliet noted that the patient was in her 70's from the x-ray when in fact she was 26.

Thanks guys. I forgot about A Brief History of Time being in that episode.
I knew about LOST TIME, but I've never connected the X ray of the woman to Adam and Eve. I'm still having a hard time figuring out the implications because the woman is clearly not in her 70's so why would time travel effect her uteris but not her looks?

The x-ray doesnt have anything to do with adam and eve, it points to the complications in pregnancy that women on the island have (which we already know about).

If this is what he said, why is everyone insisting there is something to do with a time loop, or people moving through time?

Because his quote is from the beginning of the series. He doesn't say "There NEVER will be any time travel"...he clearly says "I don't think we've shown anything YET..." To me this means it could have been upcoming.
