Mobisodes 7,8,9

These have been pretty bad lately. I've dispensed with the Plot cuts if the epi is up on abc.com

 

Missing Pieces 7 – (112) Arzt & Crafts

 

Written by: Damon Lindelof

Directed by: Jack Bender

Plot: Dr. Arzt tries to convince Jin and Sun not to move from the beach to the caves as Jack has proposed. When Hurley and Michael tell him they can't understand him, he also expresses his doubts in Jack's role as a leader to them. However he changes his mind and decides to move to the caves after all when the roaring of the monster interrupts their conversation.

Leslie Arzt (truly a bitchin’ name) didn’t want to move to the caves and trusts Jack eventhough he is totally freaked out. Jin picked up that Boone and Shannon were lovers. Nothing else of interest happened in this mobisode.

 

Missing Pieces 8 – (105) Buried Secrets

                                                                                                  

Written by: Christina M. Kim

Directed by: Jack Bender

Plot: Sun is watching Jin fish and then walks into the jungle. There she buries a California drivers license when Michael runs by looking for Vincent. Seeing the license he picks it up and Sun tries to explain that she was going to leave Jin. Michael comforts her telling her it will be okay. The two almost share a kiss but Vincent appears barking before anything can happen, prompting Sun to leave.

This one was pretty interesting actually. Sun had a CA DL in the name of Christine Choi. I guess she got this along with the fake passport. Also, Michael and Sun did almost have a thing. I always thought that was just Jin’s imagination. But as we see, from the last mobisode, he is more observant than you would think. I wonder if he speaks English? Also, Vincent is weird.

 

Missing Pieces 9 – (111) Tropical Depression

So if the numerical codes for the mobisodes indicate the order, the correct order for them would be:

 

101 - King of the Castle

103 - The Adventures of Hurley and Frogurt

102-

104 - Room 23

105 - Buried Secrets

106 - Operation Sleeper

107 - The Watch

108-

109-

110- The Deal

111 - Tropical Depression

112 - Arzt & Crafts

113-

 

And that is completely meaningless in chronology. I wonder why they are numbered like this? Maybe it's just the order in which they were made. Maybe it's just to F with me.

 

Find 815

 

In final Lost news for the day I am beyond geeked out about the new Lost game that is being played as we speak. I didn’t follow The Lost Experience, but it was played mostly online between S2-3 and it explained the Numbers. Basically it was an episode or chapter of the story that took place in an alternate reality game. Websites and live action at comic-con introduced a character named Rachel Blake who investigated The Hanso Group (backers of the Dharma Initiative and long associated with the Island. The Black Rock was owned by Hanso) and discovered what the Numbers were. It’s pretty cool and worth reading over on Lostpedia. The information in both games is to be considered canon, but not necessary to understand the show.

 

There’s a new game out that started this week called Find 815. As you can guess it’s about finding Flight 815. The Oceanic Air website went back up last week and contained clues that lead to the start of the game. In this game, Sam, an Oceanic Air IT specialist tries to find out what happened to Flight 815. Some clues are being released in billboards – three so far have been seen in Portland OR, Larkin, CA and Ames, IA. Portland is where Mittelos Bioscience is (and where according to my pet theory there is a portal). John Locke is from Larkin and Kate is from Ames, IA. Or possibly a small town near Ames since many Amesians complain that they live in a college town, not the white trash diner trailer park Kate comes from. Anyway I am not game-savvy enough to play, but I can read along and it’s just awesome so far. You can just read the wiki on Lostpedia.
