I’ve been trying to find a way to watch the Lost University class videos without having to get a Blu-ray player. It didn’t seem possible. For a while, fans were posting them on YouTube, but Disney was pulling them down almost as fast as the fans could put them up. But I just stumbled across [...]

High-resolution photo of Jacob’s tapestry
December 7th, 2009 by Ms Terri · No Comments · Egyptian mythology and hieroglyphics, Jacob (Mark Pellegrino), Opening Scene of Season 5 Finale
This is the tapestry that Jacob was weaving in the Season 5 finale. The photograph is another sneak peek from the Season 5 DVD set. I don’t know where the photo was taken — on the set? in the prop room? — but wherever it is, you can see the details on the tapestry very [...]

Anubis and the Smoke Monster hieroglyphics
April 11th, 2009 by Ms Terri · 7 Comments · 5x12 Dead is Dead, Egyptian mythology and hieroglyphics, Four-toed statue, Polls, Smoke monster
This hieroglyphic was on what seemed to be an altar in the underground temple that is Smokey’s lair. The snake-like creature on the left is probably Smokey itself. The creature on the right, whose hand is outstretched with an offer of something (food?) for Smokey, looks a lot like the jackal-headed Egyptian god Anubis: Anubis [...]

April 10th, 2009 by Ms Terri · No Comments · 5x12 Dead is Dead, Ben (Michael Emerson), Egyptian mythology and hieroglyphics, Locke (Terry O'Quinn), Recaps and reviews, Smoke monster
Ben, still wracked with guilt over Alex’s death, has come back to the Island to be judged by Smokie, who he calls “The Monster.” That name could just as easily be applied to Ben himself. Ben is a cold-blooded killer, as we see in both the present storytime and the past via flashback. In the [...]

Here’s Michael Emerson (who plays Ben) in an interview last month with the Washington Post: Liz: Will we find out what the deal is with the four-toed statue? Michael: You are going to learn more about the world from which that statue came. I don’t think we’re going to see the statue again in context, [...]

I’m now totally convinced that the four-toed statue was based on Taweret
March 7th, 2009 by Ms Terri · No Comments · Egyptian mythology and hieroglyphics, Four-toed statue, Season 5, Theories
Here’s another picture, where the resemblance is especially clear: The round thing on top of this statue’s head is identical to the one on “our” statue. The ears are very similar. The toes — I count four. It’s no wonder that in LaFleur we could see the statue only from the back — look how [...]

The giant four-toed statue
March 7th, 2009 by Ms Terri · No Comments · Damon and Carlton, Egyptian mythology and hieroglyphics, Four-toed statue, Season 2, Season 5, Season 6
In the beginning of LaFleur, the Lost-ies were startled to see the back of this giant statue. It is, of course, the famous four-toed statue that we first saw in the finale of Season 2. This past December, producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, in one of the “Dharma Special Access” podcasts they made to [...]
