The Death Star - Giggles & Shihtz

J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof have expressed their admiration of the Star
Wars films. The day they met to begin collaboration for Lost, Damon
Lindelof was wearing an original official Star Wars fan club T-shirt and
the pair found an instant connection as a result.

Coolest discovery of a cryptic Hebrew text. The inscription on Darth
Vader's control panel. A close-up look at the costume, which went on
display in 1998 as part of the Star Wars exhibit at the National Air and
Space Museum in Washington, reveals Hebrew lettering that George Lucas's
creative team used to represent an other-worldly language.


"May the force be with you, or just live long and prosper..."

The subject line got me thinking about the second mention of the Death
Star in "Lost" dialogue, when Hurley talks about another Death Star
being destroyed. So I went back and read the transcript of "Some Like
it Hoth" and found this gem, spoken after Miles has snatched Hurley's
script for "The Empire Strikes Back":

MILES: Let's see what's going on--
HURLEY: Give that--give that back to me.
MILES: --in that piece of granite you call a head.

So Hurley's a rockhead. And apparently a cannibal, since he eats
Molly Fisher fruit roll-ups, named for a mysterious boulder in
Connecticut with undeciphered inscriptions on it:

HURLEY: Dude, that beer's been sitting there since before Rocky III,
maybe even II. It's probably poison by now.

February 2nd can't come fast enough.

Moving away from a robed Vader and his Hebrew laden breastplate, I
followed Lindelof's twitter, in a desperate search for Lost clues. Surely
he would sneak a hint in during this long hiatus. My hunt for truth landed
me on one of his recent twitter entries.

And that twit lead me to:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1019452/quotes
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Serious_Man

Which lead me to find a script of the flick. Inside the script is a
cypher, in the most unusual of places.

I haven't finished reading the whole text yet, but two phrases from that
script really popped out at me since they are two well known phrases
spoken on Lost.

The first is, "Help Me"

and the second is, "Who Cares!"

But for "Lost" purposes, the important thing is that it's a name close
to Mary Fisher.
