So after all this time, I anagrammed Expose, since it keeps popping up.

I came up with "see pox"

So I did. Def 3 caught my attention.

1. A disease such as chickenpox or smallpox, characterized by purulent skin eruptions that may leave pockmarks.
2. Syphilis.
3. Archaic Misfortune and calamity.

3. Archaic Misfortune and calamity.
That is certainly interesting. Given everything we know, or at least what we think we know:)

How about sea pox?

there's the Others taking everybody's blood... well, Michael, Walt, Claire, Jack, Sawyer, Kate all had blood taken by the Others.

I think it is just a name in the clue about the misfortune Nikki and Paulo were about to experiment...
Couldn't it be ??


And Hugo's dad seems to be a fan of this show... :undecide:

One of my favorite things to do is notice how we, the audience, come up with all sorts of plausible things which I am sure the writers never intended. We are deeper than they in many cases. We also know that anagrams are a part of the mystique. So I played the anagram game. I don't have any claim that this "see pox" has any real part in TPTB's thinking. I just find it interesting that we can go off on almost any tangent and come up with something.

No claim that see pox is an actual anagram of real consequence.

"Pox" is a word I played in Scrabble the day before yesterday, a word I thought would win me the game. Instead, I lost, because I wasn't paying attention to what tiles the other players might have had. Had I been thinking, I might have realized that Pox would have been available later, and that my best play at the time would have been to block someone else from going out.
