LOST Season 1 - Smoke Monster Hint?

I started re-watching LOST a couple of days ago and right now I'm watching "Walkabout."  One of the best episodes in the series in my opinion.  I noticed something that I've never noticed before.  Someone out there has probably mentioned this before, but perhaps not.  

While "Colonial" Locke is at work on the TPS reports at the box factory.  The calculator (adding machine whatever) makes a noise when printing the numbers on the paper that sounds like....

The Smoke Monster.  I thought that was pretty cool, since it was related to numbers and John Locke.

Vantage Point and LOST

The Vantage Point ad during the season premiere featured a code "000-815." If you go to the Vantage Point Mosaic, and enter the code, a little LOST widget pops up. The LOST widget features a video "Jack shots Locke bu the gun is empty," Trivia (with wrong answers), and then links to pretty much all of the content of the official LOST website.

The Beginning of the End - On Island - LOST Season 4 Premiere

SPOILER: Don't keep reading if you don't want to know what happened.

Season 4.01 - "The Beginning of the End"
On the Island: (Flash Forward Post)

The aftermath of the decision to call the freighter is what this episode was about. Jack and the gang we excited. They couldn't find Locke and soon discover that Naomi wasn't dead. Most everyone starts making the way back toward the beach, but Danielle, Jack and Ben go to look for Naomi down the wrong path. Kate steals the phone from Jack and tracks down Naomi just before she dies and Naomi makes some adjustments to the phone to ensure that her people will find them.

Hurley and everyone on the beach are excited as well, until Desmond comes with the news that Charlie is dead and that his last heroic act was to tell them that Naomi is not who she claimed to be. They don't radio Jack to warn him in case the signals are being monitored so they lock and loaded and start marching toward the front of the plane.

Along the way Hurley gets separated and the craziness that we see in the future is beginning here. He sees an old house. Like Jacob's shack, but bigger from my first impression. Like I don't remember there being a front porch last time. He sees a table with a latern, a painting on the way of a dog, like at Jacob's cabin, and a man wearing white tennis shoes in a dark suit, Christian Shepherd. It's dark, but you can tell it's him.

While he's looking, an eye of someone jumps up and is staring back at him. I assume that this is Jacob's face and eye that. He's freaked out when John find him. John tries to convince Hurley to help him.

When everyone gets to the front of the plane, Locke would have been shot if the gun was loaded, but Jack does beat him up. Before long, Locke with the help of Hurley convince a large number of survivors to follow John to the Other's Barracks. Then the rain starts and they leave. Soon as Jack and Kate are thinking of Charlie a helicopter flies over and a man parachutes out. Jack and Kate find him.

What don't people (Naomi, Patchy and John) die on this island, when you think that they should?

Who is Naomi's sister?

What's the deal with Christian Shepard?
Especially sine, "So It Begins" and now Hurley's vision, something is going on with him that's very abnormal for a dead man. Which leads me to my next questions...

Are there ghosts in LOST?
How are Christian and Jacob connected?
How are Smokie and Jacob connected?
Is Jacob a personification of the island?
What was Locke doing there, near the cabin?
Why was the freighter looking for the island?
Why did Kate steal the phone?


The Flash Forward Post recap is the previous post.

Season 4 Spoiler in the trailer

I'm not sure if anyone else has commented on this yet, maybe some one has, I haven't seen it. I've watched the new extended trailer a number of times, and I noticed this one little part that I had look at several times, but didn't see. After Locke says that there's a traitor, there is a brief shot of Sayid and Sawyer grabbing Jack, with Jack saying, "Let go of me." So it seems, that those who side with Jack will be the ones leaving, and those who side with Locke won't be.

LOST shout outs and Answers about Season 3 Finale

The ''Lost'' universe expands -- to NBC? - DOC JENSEN - Entertainment Weekly

'Hi Doc — My biggest problem with the season finale was Locke killing Naomi. It seemed really out of character and unnecessary. Couldn't he have just injured her enough not to make the call? Did he really have to kill her? Could you probe the producers to find out if the audience will eventually find out Locke's motivation for killing her?'' — Tricia

Damon Lindelof responded:
''After lying, gutshot, in a pit of Dharma corpses for two days and on the verge of taking his own life, an apparition of Walt appeared to Locke and said ''You have work to do.'' I would dare say that we might be willing to give John the benefit of the doubt for any action he took in response to this series of events, even if considered slightly ''out of character.'' I, for one, become VERY cranky when I get gutshot.''

A valid point, although I think Tricia's fuzzyness on the matter is understandable: the finale — focused and stuffed as it was on Jack, Charlie, The Others, and other non-Locke momentousness — wasn't really about capturing Locke's state of mind. My guess is that very early in season 4, Lost will give us a story that will zero in on the very weird-and-warped place Locke finds himself in.
