I've had this sore idea since the beginning that there's been these minor glitches in the show since the beginning. I saw a couple last night as well. Glitches, as in random freezes, stutters... almost so minor you write them off as bad reception but as I was rewatching S2 working up to the new episodes, I couldn't help but notice them on the DVDs as well.

Could it be that this is a clue to some sort of abnormality or the EMF? Why this would be worked into the actual production, I haven't the faintest but it's strong enough to merit investigation. What's flashback and what's reality? Maybe we have it all backwards.

Hmmm...

Hmmm...

Let me guess . . . you have DirecTV and possibly one of their homegrown DVRs?

Nope. HD cable and I noticed it on the DVDs of S2 as well.

Maybe you have some dust or a scratch on the dvd, dude.

I noticed it as well... twice in the episode. Once when Des was drinking with Charlie and Hurley and when Des was coming out of Widmore's building ripping his tie off.

I had actually noticed a small glitch while watching this episode. But it seemed more like a loading issue than anything else.

I'll have to go back and look for that. Sounds interesting.

IMO its just the DVR or broadcast, because I noticed one last night when charlie and Hurley were walking down the beach, the sound cut out, its happened before also but when I rewind and rewatch, the sound is there. Also it happens on other channels, I never noticed anything on the DVD's

I have noticed it as well, in last nights episode as well as in some of the Season 2 episodes off DVD. I'm not sure if something that small would point to a clue or not.... basically I'm saying that I don't know if I'm on board with Zesbez's theory, but I have noticed those same "glitches" as well..

Maybe everytime there's a glitch, history's being rewritten.

That is certainly an interesting idea, kind of like the explaination of what "deja vu" is in The Matrix movies... but I'm not sure TPTB would re-use an idea like that. I'm not discounting your idea (I have seen these little stops/stutters/jumps myself), but I was just attributing them to scene changes or scene loads. I would find it very odd if TPTB threw something that small into the thick of things that would play a pivotal role in the mythlogy of the show.

I watched it on regular TV with a "rabbit ears" intenna, and I didn't notice a glitch.

Zesbez is taking this too far.

Well, all I have to say is I'm not the only one to notice and you would think with the quality of Lost, this would not be accidental.

when did it occur on the s2 dvds?

i noticed one of those (on antenna)... prob. a post-production problem.
