US: What could possibly be in there?! (** SPOILERS **)

Basq

Didn't wanna use the subject line "What could possibly be in the Hatch?!" - didn't wanna spoil it for the RTE / UK viewers that what's inside the hatch hasn't been yet revealed!

Anyways.. what could possibly be in there?

Kristen from E!Online (who has always been spot-on with her Lost tidbits in the past) has said:

What's in the Hatch?

Hint: In a way, it's something you've never seen before. But in a way, it's something you see every day and are probably seeing right now. Okay, another hint: It begins and ends with the same letter.
Source: Kristin on E!Online

Any random guesses - the

begins and ends with the same letter

should help us give a few guesses? It could be

another HATCH in there!

herobear

the 2 most common guesses right now are:

ScreenS (as in tv, computer....)
or
EyE(as in 'eye' of the island)

Stark

Well I haven't found any

Synonyms for emptiness that begin and end with the same letter yet, so that's good. There might actually be something interesting in there and the writers aren't stuck up **** creek looking for something

monomaniac

some kind of special

window

?

monomaniac

Also someone also asked Kristin was she in there waiting with a microphone to get some scoopage and she replied with something along the lines of:

in a weird way you're not completly far off

So I'm going with

screens

Sandals

Truman Show anyone?.,
GOd I hope not.

qz

Screens that would possibly be monitoring the island at different locations?

Sandals

thats what I meant.

Sauron

I'm wondering if it'll explain the whole security system thing... the screens might be another part of it or something..

Basq

Hmmmmm....

screens do make amazingly perfect sense!

tvnutz

Maybe there is a toilet in there? would come in handy!

kinda lost

(Possible spolier!!!!)

Hmmm maybe............. a ladder

i was watching the final episode there last night, and i think i have a good idea of who is down inside the hatch.

Matthewthebig

and it is?

and i suggest

Hannah the sexy porn star

loon

do people actually believe that they are on some kind of tv show eg the trueman show? if so (i know tv people can be harsh eg evil big brother) but crashing a plane and killing hundreds of people seems like taking things a bit far for a few ratings, and who in their right mind would watch it??

tvnutz

I dont think truman show,but in terms of screens,it doesnt have to be a truman show type of thing,it could mean that they are being watched all the time,maybe the others are watching them,or whoever the overall island leader is!! I don't know,there are just too many theories,but I doubt it is a set up tv show,but that doesn't mean there might not be a big brother situation going on.

trishw78

Didn't the writers say in the 'revealed' show that the idea came from Survivor but instead of there being a challenge / reward & and vote out what if it was real & and the last person was the winner reality tv gone a bit psycho...

Where do you draw the line between reality & fiction

Chong

Its put simply the others.

Giblet

Sickness maybe?

This picture is a major spoiler, maybe they shouldn't have opened the hatch.

Where did you get that pic??

Giblet

It's in the new series 2 teaser. Impossible to see unless you go by frame by frame.

Chong

That certainly reveals a very small piece of such a big puzzle.

Yeah, it was posted on a thread on forums.somethingawful.com
Really great Lost discussion there.

mr_angry

Tesseract. You don't see one of them everyday, and yet you do.

qz

Holy fscking crap, nice find Giblet!

Even if you didn't find it yourself, but thanks for sharing!

Shabadu

In fairness, it's going to be something bad.

Screens may be what they see, but the SicknesS is what they'll get. I expect anarchy, random members going crazy, joining the others, jack looking for some cure for it, and Locke succumbing to it and becoming one of the others. It's got to be bad, what with psychic boy and all the numbers warning against it.

Basq

For those who are interested.. i've posted a link to that Season 2 promo which Giblet was referring to here

Some excellent theories here - less than two weeks people! :eek:

Fridge

I can't remember Ana Lucia talking to Jack. Which Jack episode was it in? The first/second or third and what were they talking about?

Basq

I believe it was 'Exodus - Part 1' - can't remember distinctly what they were discussing. Their flight numbers came into it at one point and also the fact that they were drinking so early in the day. And she overheard his phone call and commented on it..

.. i can remember not really liking her character - maybe the new season will change my mind!

thanks! couldnt make it out

Cathy

Maybe it's a

.

loon

i think a mad mind f@ck would be... survivors... they open the hatch to find themselves opening the hatch... now that's a good way to mess with peoples heads... unlikely though.

Sauron

they open the hatch to find themselves opening the hatch

?

that quarantine sign is quite scary though.. what's something that could be quarantined and could emit a bright white light? I wonder do the surivivors notice that sign at all? or pay any heed to it...

stag39

maybe its the enterance to hell!!

anyways holding my breath for 2 more weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this one's for OFDM.. and its a bit like that thing i was on about:

where it says 'EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON' there appears to be a messgae, but again its layered.. above the first E it looks like 'JE'.. after the s on happens, there appears to be a backwards 'EM' .. after reason a backwards 'So'... if you have a flat screen look from below...

and has anyone the link to the original and i may be able to see it better.

But if the light went on inside the hatch that means that someone is in with the sickness. Doing some medical research perhaps?

TODAY'S COMMENTARY Monday, July 25th 2005
Sensational Sneak Preview of Lost
By Ed Martin
What's in Store on Television's Most Talked About Drama


Beverly Hills, CA - From the opening moments of the first episode of its
sophomore season, Lost won't waste a minute in providing further information
about the major storylines on the show. What's at the bottom of that tunnel?
Who are the Others? What the heck is the island all about, anyway?


"Right out of the gate we're addressing some of the big mysteries of the
island," Lost co-creator and executive producer Damon Lindelof tells
MediaVillage.com. "We'll go right inside the tunnel, and what you'll see in
there changes everything."


Indeed, whatever they discover in that tunnel "will change the fundamental
state of existence" of the characters, Lindelof continues. Viewers won't see
quick glimpses of strange things but rather will get a good long look
around.


"We're erring on the side of giving away too much rather than too little,"
Lindelof says. "They found that hatch in episode 10. Thirteen episodes later
they opened it up. It's got to be good."


What the characters won't find inside, Lindelof promises, are aliens, a time
travel portal or "a ship they can blast off in." Whatever is in there will
involve those mysterious numbers that led to Hurley's lottery win and streak
of bad luck in that character's famous backstory.


"Right from the start, in the season premiere, the numbers become a
fundamental plot point for the season," Lindelof says. "People aren't going
to be disappointed in how we use them."


He says the producers of the show wanted to make certain that whatever the
characters find inside the tunnel will be "great, cool and risky." But,
Lindelof cautions, he can "guarantee some people are not going to like what
they find in there."


While some characters are exploring the tunnel, others will be dealing with
the aftermath of the destruction of the raft and the kidnapping of little
Walt by a band of creepy men who are presumed to be among the community of
Others on the island.


Who survives , how they survive, where they end up and how
they reconnect with the other characters" will drive the story through the
first seven or eight episodes next fall, Lindelof adds.
Lindelof also confirms that the character played by newcomer Michelle
Rodriguez will be someone who was seated in the back of the plane when it
exploded and has been living on another part of the island. He will not say
whether she has been living alone or with other survivors.


He also says that Boone, the one main character who died last season, will
definitely stay dead. "So many times in genre shows when you kill someone
off they come back. On Lost the rules are different. When you're dead,
you're dead!" Lindelof declares.


The other big nagging mysteries in the story - why did Ethan kidnap Claire,
what happened to her while she was held prisoner, what if anything happened
to her baby - will be addressed later in the season, Lindelof says. "But we
have bigger priorities first: The hatch and Walt's kidnapping."


He says the story about the kidnapping of Walt is especially intense,
because "a child taken from a parent by strangers is the scariest thing of
all." When the Others take Walt, there is no Amber Alert, no Fox News
Channel and CNN reporting the story, nowhere for his father to get help.
There is only fear, frustration and rage. Early episodes, Lindelof says,
will deal with the repercussions of this harrowing incident.


"That is the big mystery of the island," Lindelof explains. "Who are these
other people and what do they want?"


Lindelof welcomes ABC's decision to move Lost from 8 to 9 p.m. ET on
Wednesday, because more people are available to watch television. He also
thinks the show is "very intense" and says, "children should not be
watching," which they are apt to do at an earlier hour.


"By the finale of season two viewers will know why the plane crashed,"
Lindelof says. He envisions Lost running "somewhere in the neighborhood of
4-5 seasons."


"I know what the ending is," he concludes. "At a certain
point you can only stall so long."

I got it here, can't find original link.

Stompbox

Hell yeah I just cant wait

Sauron

very exciting alright...

Matthewthebig

4 or 5

thats alright

not too much

loon

i think 3 would be pushing it.. in s2 you find out why the plane crashed, which should give you some incite into where they are... and just how long can they drag it out?

Sauron

and just how long can they drag it out?

evidently.... 4 or 5 seasons...
