    Samuel L Jackson will NOT be in Lost! That was just a rumour someone made up. He will not be on the show.
    I guess the Mapinguari "Preview" at www.lostlinks.net has the Samuel L Jackson bit added as a piss-take?

    It's VERY simple. Boone says:

    "Hello. We're survivors of THE CRASH of Oceanic Flight 815. Please copy."

    The radio voice says:
    "Hello. We're THE survivors of Oceanic Flight 815."

    There's also added emphasis on "We're" in the radio voice's response.

    Clearly there's is no possible way these two sentences could be the same. Also the full transcript of the conversation is:

    Boone: Hello. Hello. Anybody out there? Mayday mayday.
    Radio voice: Is someone there?
    Boone Hello. Hello! Can you hear me?
    Radio voice: Repeat the transmission please.
    Boone. Hello. We're survivors of the crash of Oceanic Flight 815. Please copy.
    Radio voice. Hello. We're the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815.

    When does Boone say "Is someone there?" or "Repeat the transmission please."???

    That shoots down the argument of a reflection right there.


    no... i have to give you that...i had a bad copy of an mp3 which went:

    'we're the survive(then some static)anic flight 815.'

    just listened to your mp3 zip and its a lot clearer.

    I know this thread is practicly dead and burried but I just thought I'd mention that I was watching Star Trek Voyager with a buddy of mine the other day and he idly mentioned dues ex defflectordish. When I asked what he meant he said that there is an old litterary tool that writers use when the have gotten their characters in an unsolvable problem it's called "dues ex machina" or "the hand of God" since i hadn't seen any post stating the translation of the phrase thank you and good night

    Deus Ex Machina means "God from the machine" - nothing about hands there, but otherwise you got the jist of it:
