Oceaniac logo* O--ceaniac

We have a lot of time to fill :lol2:

Ice can*

Or,

C-O-C-A-I-N-E . . . .

Or,

C-O-C-A-I-N-E . . . .


why, thank you very much. :lol2:

exactly how is this a Theory? or a spoiler? or a spoiler theory?
if you want to see how many names you can make out of the words...
perhaps i should move this to the Games section?

We were told every name means something. So why would this be exempt? O===ceanic
So 'ice can' could have possible meaning in regard to say some frozen bodies or to be frozen candidates Lostees. I don't think this is the case, but why is mentioning it more of a game than any other post. Its called Cryonics
Maybe you just did not get it. Which is fine in general, but it would put your theory judgment calls in question. Maybe you belong on the game site

oceanic airlines is a generic airline used by movies and teevee....so there probably isn't meaning there...it's like if someone on the show had a 555 number...there wouldn't be meaning there...

but if you must look....check the logo up top on this page in the D:LA advertisement.......there are 16 dots around the O and 16 letters in Oceanic Airlines.

coupons - dude, it looked like a game at first when you were figuring out anagrams........but the intention wasn't well stated. and that was awfully close to insulting a mod....just saying...

Well stated, Speaker! I too thought it was a game, not a theory. Now that we are clear on the matter....

Unless I just can't count, there are only 15 letters in Oceanic airlines
and I don't see it as a game to look at stuff like that-this show has obviously taken it's cues from the audience and from "moments" nothing is in stone, so everything could be a clue, influencing factor-in my opinion far too many people shoot other people's opinion down just cause they don't like it-If you don't agree w/ something, just don't answer it-

rutherford - you're right, only 15...but still one of the "numbers"

as far as the game it seemed like at first "lets see what words we can make from oceanic!" instead of "i wonder what meaningful anagrams oceanic makes"

just a simple misunderstanding, nothing serious :D

Indeed

Hey Speaker, just saying, but is it more wrong to insult a mod than it is anyone else on the boards? :whistling2:

I have a better solution.

How about if everyone would just stop with the insults ... PERIOD?

He said/She said.

What's going on here lately?

First, people are getting all upset OVER THE PROPER SPELLING OF THE DEUX/DEUS EPISODE! Yup. I yelled. No need to tell me I'm a newbie and all CAPS means yelling.

And second ... NEWBIE actually has a poll on whether it's a bad word or a good word. And it's not just a joking poll.

If this is what happens during a small break between episodes, I'm not looking forward to the summer break.

As was said already,

This is not spoiler related.
If this is an anagram, then it should go into the General Theory board.
If this is a game, it should go to the Game Board.

Double post because I did not want to edit the above one and I wanted to answer your question.

No. It
Hey Speaker, just saying, but is it more wrong to insult a mod than it is anyone else on the boards? :whistling2:

IMO, No. It is NOT more wrong to insult a mod. There should not be any insulting going on here at all.

We are trying to not get involved in any bickering that might happen. We (all members here) should be able to control what they say. The Mods are not here to breakup fights.

*takes off mod hat...says as poster, not as mod*

technically - no

but generally in any situation involving authority, authority is respected.

bad example - if I insult my coworker, I could get in trouble. if I insult my boss, I could get fired.

basically - mods are here to help, but mods are human and WILL make mistakes, and it's not polite to insult anyone. but insulting the people who have to deal with nasty stuff on a daily basis, the ones who try to keep the board clean and a better place to visit...

let's just say they may have had a bad day and have an itchy "delete" finger.

As a mod I try to be as patient as possible, but I'm only one of six including the admins, and I've been to boards where they ban you for thinking the wrong thing.

So, no, not technically worse, but I still don't think it's a good idea :D

please don't take any of this the wrong way, because it wasn't AIMED at anyone, that's just my NONmod opinion, it would be my opinion if i were not a mod.....

thanks

Huskie,
You are the bomb.
Seriously.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
I've been on these boards maybe, what 2 or 3 weeks now, and in the last 48 hours, it's like there are all these dumb fights on the boards.
It really isn't necessary. Can't we all get along?
I would sing "Kumbaya", but you know I can not sing on key........ ;D

Thanks Speaker, I was just asking. *I dont think insulting anyone is a good idea, and if you guys (mods) didnt think the post belonged here (even tho coupons did) then it should simply be moved, since this is part of what you all do here. *No need to explain why, if a topic belongs somewhere, you have the job of moving it.

so thanks again for responding

no problem.........there was simply a misunderstanding...if we're clear on a meaning of a thread we just move it........but in a case like this we ask just in case we're wrong :D

Maybe you just did not get it.* Which is fine in general, but it would put your theory* judgment calls in question. Maybe you belong on the game site


and maybe you did NOT get what i was saying.* i was simply asking about WHY this thread was here. and how it was a spoiler.
i did NOT insult you by asking about the purpose or stating that it was silly, nor did i suggest that you go elsewhere.

a simple explaination without the rudeness would have done the job.

i agree with Huskie...this should moved to the General Theories section/ board.

Dear lord,
can we discuss this any further-it is clearly in the ground now-
Someone said something the mod asked if it should be moved
someone thought it was an insult
then locke comes and gives the mod some halucinogen(sp?)
he wakes up and thinks huskie is dead
but then coupons finds the hatch
I used the numbers 8 15 4 23 42 to post my last response...................
aggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh
this board is almost as much drama as the show


seriously though I think it was a huge misunderstanding, but from all ends
mods ya'll are doing a fine job keep it up
Posters: ya'll are doing a fine job keep it up as well
Because both of ya'll give me a reason to come to this site when I should be working at my desk in Georgia

If this is what happens during a small break between episodes, I'm not looking forward to the summer break.

You know, I've wondered why the crankiness level has been so high lately and I think that's it.* Hiatus Seige Mentality.* Maybe someone could search out a few real-life mysteries for us all to dissect and put it in Games or something.* We need a placebo until we get some new episodes and more to work with.* Sort of a Lost Withdrawal Patch.* *:)

So you're saying the French Lady, although annoying, is good for us!?

Probably!* So long as she or anyone else gives us something new to debate, it keeps us all from going barking mad.* *:laugh:

Quelle horreur!!! Mon Dieu!!!! ;D

back to the oceanic logo debate.

having travelled extensively i have seen a lot of cultures have an "evil eye myth"
they are ll kind of different and equally silly but generally bad luck is dismissed as bad luck. if it persists, then it is attributed at 'an eye been cast' and worse luck is "the evil Eye":
but everyone on the island has had the bad luck which would exceed what these cultures would attribute to the evil eye. [hurley's particluar blend of fortunes is what they would see as an evil eye - in fact i would believe his mothers reaction to a curse idea is the fact that as catholics they have left behind old cultural superstitions and not in touch with their roots .. i think near every culture must have evil eye/ curse superstitions]

In fact, some of these cultures' medicine /sorcery /psychic traditions rest around being in touch or understanding "the Eye".


now i can only vouch for sub saharan, northern african /islamic [turkey] traditions in addition to Zoarastrian and arab things i have seen.


In short the evil eye superstition protection requires prayer and some talismans;
for your edification, i have found an excellent representation of what i am talking about:

it is a western copy of that type of talisman, [nearly as creepy as the one my dad hangs in his car, back home.]
[i doubt some seller craftsmen in a bazaar souk in saudi arabia can be bothered to make a website but i did not bother searching too hard!]

http://www.natashascafe.com/images/products/evileye3.jpg

it is made of blue glass and has an iconic blue eye in the centre -- a pictorial simplification of it would bear perhaps a co-incidental or intentional passing resemblance toi the oceania logo.

human brains see similarities and patterns everywhere without [consciously] even looking for them, like the so called face on mars, so by all means i am interested in your feedback as to wheter it is sheer co incidence taht their "eye" looks like an evil eye talisman.

we already know the eye visual grammar device used somtimes at beginning if episodes and at other times also ascribes grreat importance to POV and insight. as well as locke saying he looked into "the eye of the island"

i know this thread is long dead but as a new member i didn't feel comfortable starting a new thread just yet. i have just finished season one and have been following season two except for an episode and a half but find the notion of the logo curious.

i'm a graphic designer so this logo struck me as odd after i started a second viewing of season one. my first opinion was that the logo was a representation of the earth with destinations everywhere but the more i look at it the more it looks like an eye. since many of the episodes from season one have their first camera shot of an eye i thought this may be important to the overall theme of the show. perspective maybe. is it challenging us to look at this in a different way?

i've read other threads about how one of the working titles for lost was "the circle" and also how the low camera shots may be from vincent observing what's going on. may mean something or nothing but it has been making my brain hurt after coming to some of these conclusions.

welcome AMida!

i hope youre reading new threads if not posting [ in ] them!

you wil lfiond here the freindliest people of many dofferent stripes and ideas with one common angle we are all huge fans vastly appreiciate of all the efforts of the entire lost creative team and all just as mystified and intrigues and we delight in being able tp speculate and puzzle at the wonders of the writers.

so have good time and remeber, we are all here pleased to make your acquiantance and welcome your contributions!
