That would be "No."

There's a Williams Cyclone visible in the corner of the Dharma Initiative's rec room in several episodes (One is s5e08:"LaFleur".) They made a bit of a continuity error - it's anachronistically there in 1974, well before the machine was ever manufactured.

Yeah, they eventually did a real time warp event around season 5. Even before that, though, the show was always flashing backwards (mild spoiler: and forwards) during the course of an episode. Almost all of the episodes have flashbacks/flashforwards that center on one character and end up showing you an event in their life before the plane crash, or post-rescue, that's related to what they're doing on the island.

I enjoyed it, but in order to make any sort of sense of it you really need to start at the beginning and watch the episodes in order.

I'm still waiting for Twin Peaks to make a comeback,

The first season of Twin Peaks remains to this day one of the most compelling things ever shown on TV. It is my understanding that "Mulholland Drive" was originally supposed to be a pilot for a new series. It's a shame it became a movie instead, as it's the only thing Lynch has done since Twin Peaks that even comes close in terms of creativity, atmosphere and overall feel.

Sometimes you can catch the movie - 'Fire walk with me' Twin Peaks.
but never the series and its too bad , I'd rather see it once a week then some reality t.v. jive -ugly people stuck on an island eating bugs and back stabbing each other for our enjoyment?
-what happened to Hollywood ?

I remember watching and seeing 2 pinball machines in the Dharma recreational room. The titles were originally Comet and Revenge from Mars, but I watched the following episodes very carefully, and in some scenes, there was only 1 pinball machine, and in other episodes, one of the machines got replaced with a No Fear machine. I forget which on got replaced but I always wondered why they would switch the machines out. Maybe a director that's a pinhead and he was swapping out machines from his collection? That's just a guess but I wouldn't see the purpose in mixing up the machines unless they were easily accessible. My 2 cents.

RFM and Cyclone I believe image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

Here we are six years later, and your wish has finally come true ...

As much as I'm impressed by the necromancing of this 5+ year old thread, I gotta give props for the prolific use of either the search feature or the bookmarking of this thread and properly continuing its original conversation with excellent info/pics.

Well done, rai!

I'm re-watching the series, it became too much like The Fringe after a while.

However if I'm ever stranded on a deserted island hope there's pinball and eye candy.

If I'm ever stranded on a desert island with Evangeline Lilly…….screw pinball!

I never understood the pins on Lost. I think those scenes were supposed to take place in the 60's, so it's odd that they chose such modern titles. RFM is a 30+ year anachronism.

Never noticed when I watched the series, but yeah that is a glaring continuity problem. They might as well have put a Cruisin USA in the corner.

Logic issues with "Lost," No I'm sorry I can't believe that

Those scenes were from the present time (of the show) not flash back scenes.

That makes more sense. The set designers wouldn't make a stupid mistake like that.

The Fonz played 70s games on Happy Days which was supposed to be in the 50s.

But also remember Lost was about as farfetched a fictional tale as they ever put on TV. Glad I never got hooked on that turd of a show.

First season was the bomb, went sideways for the rest of the series but still good-ish if you can stand X-files ...

There's a lot worse shows like Desparite Housewifes etc..

Indeed. Probably why I don't watch much TV anymore. No need for a DVR either when nothing is worth recording...

Depending on what way you're looking at it.
Agreed first season set up so many great things...and then they just spent years making hot garbage. At least Housewives you knew it was going to suck and never wasted time watching it.

I'm pretty sure that the original concept was that they all died in the plane crash and the island was purgatory. But when people worked that out during the first season they decided to change it, throwing more and more incongruous elements into the story before adding a ridiculous and completely unnecessary purgatory-type subplot to the last season.

I loved the show from start to finish. The last season was easily the weakest, but I still enjoyed it, even the ending. To me, the show was first and foremost about the characters and their relationships. The sci-fi stuff was just an added bonus. I can't think of any show before or since that made me care about the characters more. I recently re-watched the entire series with my son, and I still cried at certain parts. The show just had such a unique emotional energy.

I liked is as you say the characters but some were weaker such as Siad and Charley and Sun and Clare but I'd like more of Sawyer and Desmond and Jack, Locke.

So to me it was up and down having weak characters too much time.

I also wish there was more time travel plot was some but I'd like more like Dr Who.

I liked the flash backs and glad forward sequences a lot but sometimes I didn't know which was which and like when Sun was having her baby and Jin was off to a birth they were actually in different time lines. Was cool but confusing and in many ways pointless.

To much filler not enough meat, but still on the whole I like Lost and was better than average just didn't live up to its potential.
