Lost Easter egg hunt: The Man From Tallahassee

Surely the man from Tallahassee is just Lockes dad?

So Ben said go get him so they can show him to Locke

I am the man from Tallahassee. Do you think the "man" from Tallahassee is Bobby Bowden? Bobby is the man here.

I find it funny that this small town that I live in ends up in so much dialog in TV and movies. West Wing always had references to Tally. Maybe cause the producer was married to an FSU grad Christine Lahti

I think we're starting to take the term 'easter egg' too liberal.

Just think about it: The term is reserved for items that are not quickly found or discerened. The bottle of McCutcheon: maybe. Hampster portrait: No. Falling Man: No. Numbers: hell no. Th term is cheapened when every cool thing is called an easter egg. Sometimes it's just set design or the script.

Does anyone else think that Cooper is the real Sawyer? He's a con man from the south? If he was on the plane, he was coming back from Australia where our Sawyer went to find him? Maybe?

the comment: Get the man from Tallahassee.

is code for 'there is a man in the closet with a gun to my daughter's head'

geez doesn't anyone watch the show! ;) (tease)

I'm not buying that Cooper is the smoke monster. "Get the man from Tallahassee." Who is that? Is that code for "smoke monster"? Do the others control the smoke monster? Clearly not, because the others were not involved in Eko's death. Why would the smoke monster manifest himself as a tied up, scared looking version of Cooper? And why would the others be completely fine with this happening?

Not buying it.

the timing of the fall in hurley's episode isn't right for it to be locke anyway. locke had been in the wheelchair for 3 years by the time hurley won the lottery.

i think what's more interesting about ben reading 'the gunslinger' is that juliet purposefully chose 'carrie' for the book club, knowing ben would think it was trash and no longer be part of the club.. so why is ben suddenly reading stephen king?

The producers have already said the numbers don't mean anything.

Am I the only one who doesn't buy the "smoke monster" theory to explain the hallucinations? It doesn't make sense. The smoke monster has been hostile on more than one occasion. Why would it be hostile sometimes and helpful on others? And to say that Locke's dad is a hallucination? It's one thing to say the horse is not real--that makes sense. But Locke's dad is TIED UP in a room right in front of him. Situation's a little different. And none of the other hallucinations ever showed emotions or did anything, but Locke's dad clearly showed fear when that door opened. Next week, I guess we'll find out. If he talks back, then the hallucination theory probably goes out the window (although Hurley's hallucination disproves that a little, even though it wasn't the smoke monster)

Wow! I see our easter egg hunting has gotten really lame. I mean, I like a good easter egg find just like the next person but when we have to reach to this level it really isn't worth it.
