Sayid estimates the distress signal has repeated for 16 years and five months, pointing to a recording around April 1988. Walt reads Green Lantern/Flash: Faster Friends #1, a DC Comics book featuring a polar bear. Josh Holloway used a non-Southern accent in some early scenes before adjusting Sawyer’s voice at J.J. Abrams’s direction. The plane crash was Evangeline Lilly’s first day of filming. Network restrictions kept the show from directly depicting Charlie’s heroin use, so the scene was built through editing. The backgammon line “one is light, one is dark” foreshadows later mythology. 🎁 LOST TRIVIA: WIN A PRIZE! In “Pilot, Part 2,” what DC Comics book is Walt reading that features a polar bear?
