Hey. First post, first thread all. Someone raised a question, and I'm not sure about it, given what I've seen.

Who is responsible for the text on the enhanced episodes? Does it count as canon, or could it be misguided or flat-out wrong?

As far as I know ABC writes the text, not the company someone who works their. I'm not sure what TPTB have stated as to the relevance of the text, I saw one line that kinda stuck out to me last night, during Cabin Fever when young Locke tells his teacher "Don't tell me what I can't do" it say he says it during an episode in season one or something like that, I said to myself, wouldn't it be better to say it's Locke's catch phrase, or something of a life motto.
Why do you have a question about something that was written?

I think NewsBruin is curious as to whether the Enhanced text is canon. The answer is yes, it's canon. Carlton and Damon said so in a recent podcast.

That's what I was wondering. The Enhanced text from "Cabin Fever" clarified a relationship between two people that previously had been ambiguous (intentionally, I hoped).

I'm being vague on purpose, but it's the one line that made a lot of folks' ears (er, eyes?) perk up. Viewer who did see it know what I'm talking about. It seemed to spill some beans before they were meant to be spilled.

Another example I can be more specific about is "The Other Woman," where Charlotte and Farraday go to The Tempest, the original broadcast made their mission (and sincerity) ambiguous, while the Enhanced text said "Hey, these guys are going to stop The Purge, part II, from happening" before they even finished the job. By the end of the episode, yeah, one can be 90% sure they were neuralizing nerve gas, but that 10% was lingering in my head.

So I started this thread, because I wanted to know if the folks who write the "liner notes" have the OK from the producers for what they put in the Enhanced text, and whether it's considered canon.
