?: A bit of a Lost lore roundup for a quiet Friday afternoon.
  • First of all, this is sort of interesting. Note the latitude and longitude coordinates.
  • Here's a nice long bit of reading about all things Dharma-related.
  • Suzanne Ryan over at the Boston Globe's TV blog points out an interesting tidbit that I'd missed: in the Swan station's orientation video, one of the narrator's arms appears to be fake or dysfunctional, the film is dated 1985, and it was shot in black and white. In the Pearl station's video, the same narrator seems to have two working arms, and the video is dated 1980, but it's in color. (Also -- and this is the only part of this that I can actually take credit for thinking up -- wasn't this week's orientation video in VHS format, versus an actual reel-to-reel film for the Swan one?) The narrator also introduces himself by two different names in the orientation films -- Mark Wickmund vs. Marvin Candle. (Does anyone still have "Orientation" saved on their TiVo to confirm all this?)

If anyone's found any other entertaining minutiae, pass it along as we get ourselves revved up for the final three hours of the season.
