Lost: "Not In Portland" Airdate - Feb. 7 2007

I am currently on vacation, but I wanted to dig a little deeper on this episode before next week's episode so I don't fall behind. I didn't get to pull all of the screen caps that I wanted to, but I did get some important ones.

The writers and producers seem to be getting a little faster with their "Easter Eggs" and special inclusions - example: the plane that flies by the Miami city scape window has the Oceanic logo of course:



There are a few objects that fly across the screen, but don't really give us anything that we didn't already figure out. Just for fun... and to take up some bandwidth, I have posted Juliet's Biolab access card and the Biolab sign:




Perhaps some of the info found in these two captures will be of use later on... and then again, maybe not.

Here are a couple of shots of the treatment that Juliet was giving Rachel:




Now on to some of the creepier captures. Ethan Rom was all over Juliet's flashback.


At first, I thought he and Juliet may have been working on her fertility experiment, but it became very obvious that Ethan was working with this man:



Richard Alpert, a recruiter for Mittelos Bioscience Corporation. Here's something interesting from the wiki. "In Real-life Dr. Richard Alpert (a.k.a. Ram Dass) is a noted psychologist and Hindu spiritualist. In 1963 he was dismissed from Harvard University for his research (in collaboration with Timothy Leary, Aldous Huxley, Allen Ginsberg and others) into psilocybin, LSD-25, and other psychedelic chemicals. Later he traveled to India where he was given his Hindu spiritual name "Ram Dass" which translates as 'Servant of God'."



"Mittelos" is an anagram for "Lost Time." According to a wiki entry, it also spells out "Time Slot" which could be a sly reference to the new start time... but I like "Lost Time" better.

Ben was his usual creepy self. We know he told Juliet that he would let her go, but I would really like to here their entire conversation. I wonder if we ever will.



I'm no doctor, so is it possible for someone to come out of anesthesia like that? I didn't feel sorry for Ben, but poor Carl:



I may have to print Carl's raver pic out as a t-shirt. Before we get to the screen caps from the "A Clock Work Orange" room, let's start with the outside of that hatch.



It almost looks like a run down dormitory. It's gaurded by Aldo who is deep in thought reading "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking. That explains why he fell for the "ol' wookie prisoner gag."



You can also make out the logo for the Hydra station over his shoulder. The Hydra is the Zoological research station.

Here are a few of the captures from what they were making Carl watch as he was "re-programmed?" (I'm assuming).



"Plant A Good Seed and You Will Joyfully Gather Fruit"





Jacob? Hmmmmmmmmmm? Are we talking Jacob as a biblical reference or Jacob, the "him" that was referred to last season. Perhaps Ben reports to yet a higher authority?

Our old friend Alvar Hanso.



I have seen this picture (above) more than once while trying to keep up with the Lost Experience ARG.




There are a few other screen captures I did not get because we were literally walking out the door to leave for vacation. You should be able to find them on the web. I will be watching on Wednesday and I'm sure I will at least have a quick report from Old Key West in Walt Disney World.

Next Episode: "Flashes Before Your Eyes" - Charlie and Hurley will try to get Desmond to come clean about his new found gift. Flashbacks are supposed to be Desmonds, according to Lostpedia, but it says "unconfirmed."
