Finally... someone explains "The Lost Experience"

Clair and Kate were in the Hospital Hatch.
Did the Baby mobile with the 6 Airplanes Represent the amount of Airplanes that have ended up on the island/
Lost is the best show I seen in years, Keep it real.

Question:
When Kate was with Clair in the palce where they captured Clair, was there a reason for the baby mobile
with 6 airplanes? Could it represent the amount of
airplanes that have been on the Island?
Lost is the coolest show I have seen in years.
Keep making it Awesome.
Thank you,
Aloha

I'm married to the equivalent of the TV canary in the coal mine. Between my cynicism and her interest level, we make a pretty good predictor on what's going to work on TV.

Bottom line, many enjoyed the challenge, but for those who were aware of the ARG but wanted no part in it were RESENTFUL of anything being presented away from the stuff that aired.

So, even though it may be fun, I think we've seen the end of any major tie in spoiler stuff. There's obviously way too much work to be done for "away from the aired programming" material to actually seriously work.

Time will tell whether there's a defection in the core audience of LOST this year or not.

especially if the numbers turn out to be fraudulent

Hi! Thanks for your kind comments on the article! First let me back up and say in a strictly pragmatic way I appreciate what the producers did with the ARG, they had no obligation to give us this game and it is a real gift.

I think it was an excellent effort. The extent to which the Lost Experience integrated television (the show itself, ads, live spots on talk shows), with the web (blogs, video, YouTube, a host of sites), product marketing (Sprite), and even live events (Rachel Blake's appearance at Comic-Con) and brought it all together in an entertaining package is no small feat.

It also goes to show how die-hard Lost fans can be - I tried to follow along, but couldn't keep up with the thousands that were ten steps ahead, checking source code on websites to get clues, pulling together film frames to make a video, etc.

At the very least, it's kept Lost alive over a long summer and made me look forward to the season premiere that much more!!

I don't think you should be too crititcal. They tried something which was more creative than what the majority of shows have done during their breaks. Although it was free advertising in a way, they did try to make it fun.

They didn't have to do it. In the end it wasn't brilliant. They were always going to be constrained because the TV show has to be the main engine as the majority of viewers will not follow the Lost Experience, as I have not, other than reading a short synopsis now and again.
