OUAT/LOST: Allusion, Nods and Easter Eggs

K&H said that 8:15 = Oceanic Flight 815. I say it is the time when PP, Wendy, Michael, and John left Big Ben for Neverland. RED HERRING!!!

Oooooo…Nice catch Marilou 🙂 I missed that one! Awesome – Thanks for that :)….I still think Bae is Neal/PP/Henry’s dad 🙂

did anyone else rejoiced when the plane Gold/Emma/Henry where in was AJIRA?

Would Emilie de Ravin’s Belle’s lose of memories/identity tie in with Claire? Who had amnesia after escaping from the others and then lose of ‘identity’ (…in a sense) when she kind of went feral? I’m probably stretching it a bit… 😆

Interesting connections so far!

I liked that Ruby’s fave Jules Verne book just happened to be The Mysterious Island. 😉

Loved that!

We’re not going to Guam, are we? 🙂

Not only was it an Ajira flight, it was flight 53 and 5+3=8 🙂

Also: every actor (that I know of) from Once that appeared on Lost was also in this episode!

Alan Dale (King George / Charles Widmore)
Emilie de Ravin (Belle / Claire)
Jorge Garcia (Anton / Hurley)
Lana Parilla (Regina / …can’t remember, was just 1 ep in season 3)

I remember being excited knowing that 3 of them would be in the ep and partway through said (jokingly) now where is King George? …and then he appeared. So all 4 were on last night 🙂

Belle was watching an eps of “Expose” – a fictional show created for LOST (remember Nikki and Paolo?).

Anyway, Belle is also talking to Greg.
Expose means exposed…Greg’s arrival exposed SB to the outside world.

In the eps of Expose, a Russian Matryoshki Doll is a prominant part of the plot.
Gregor Mendel’s pea pod experiments were likened to a Matryoshki Doll.

Ominous quote from Nikki in that eps “We all know what happens to guest stars.”

Just some fun connections 🙂

In 2×14 Manhattan – the #23 is hanging down above the bar (not as cool as the route sign in season 1 with 23 going 1 way and 4 going the other but still a nice little number nod from Lost)

see, that for me raises a good question, can all numbers (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42) be considered nods or easter eggs? More then one would obviously be a nod. but can the number “4” for example be dangling around like that NOT being a nod? I’m just asking, where do we draw the line with this?
