Beyond The Hatch
Posted on | May 31, 2005 at 8:24 pm | 4 Comments
I have some speculations about events in the season finale of Lost. In order to avoid spoiling it for those haven’t seen it yet, I’ve put them in the “more” section…
When the second season starts in the fall, and the survivors crawl down that ladder into the deep hole uncovered by the opening of the hatch, what will they find? Here are a few of my ideas. Bonus points to anyone who recognizes/understands all the pop culture references without a web search.
Timmy
John Malkovich’s brain
Deep Throat
The world’s second least profitable Planet Hollywood
China
NBC’s ratings
The banjo from the Deliverance guys who took Walt
The last six Powerball jackpot winners
Either a Yield, Roadblock, or Detour
Paris Hilton’s sense of decorum
The Human Instrumentality Project and/or Third Impact
Eerie, Indiana
The new My Bloody Valentine album
Milo Rambaldi (I think this one is the most likely, FWIW)
Weapons of Mass Destruction (sorry, it had to be said)
Babylon 4 (”Delenn, you first…”)
A cheap alternative fuel
Wendy Testaburger
Pellucidar/Skartaris (whoops, already did that one)
The monster’s waste (it’s the world’s largest outhouse!)
The cast of Real World: Hawaii
The Scott Miller/Aimee Mann recordings
Jet cars, serving robots, and TVs that hang on the wall
Justin Guarini
The Enron profits
The next Apprentice winner (new manager of Trump Hole)
“42″
The film adaptation of Confederacy of Dunces
Dave Chappelle
Internet2
The Black Lodge
Pringles potato chips, some boxy ugly new car thing, letters from home, and an assortment of “build your own outhouse” tools and materials from Home Depot
Latre.

I’m pretty sure that by “42″ you mean the spinoff of “24″ wherein Jack Bauer gets transported via wormhole to an alternate reality in which time spools backwards, and he has, uh, 42 hours to assemble all the scattered bits of an exploded city and put it back together again…? (And fanatic fans of “The Selltabs” search for the meaning of the mysterious phrase “number nine” which you can hear when you play their song “Turn Me On Dead Man” backwards…)

My vote is for 15 million shrink-wrapped copies of Chinese Democracy. Hurley will come up with a foolproof rescue plan using the CDs, but no one will be able to open the packaging.

Jeff, I wracked my brain for a 24-related reference when coming up with the list, but couldn???t think of anything that tickled me. How about ???Chloe???s and Edgar???s love child????
Alan, Chinese Democracy was the one I was trying to think of when I settled on the My Bloody Valentine reference??? D???oh!

As a union woman, I want to say it will be Jimmy Hoffa — Still alive. But really, I think it’s the career of that Republican Baldwin brother.
