DOC = Date Of Crash

We all know how the writers like to used double meanings in their titles.

There were no survivors on flight 815: add in a scoop of Desmond turning the key and not pushing the button and a pinch of paulos newspaper toss in 2 pics of Des and Penny, Ms. Hawkings and voila!

(I thought DOC meant date of crash before the epi aired) anyone have similar thoughts on this?

And I dont trust TPTBs podcasts.

Re: DOC = Date Of Crash

Date of Crash? Why? We already knew the date of the crash.

Re: DOC = Date Of Crash

I think what he means is,that the date of the crash has changed. he probably bases that on the assumption that Des changed the past

Re: DOC = Date Of Crash

It seems to me the title usually reflects something on the island and in the flashbacks. Sun's baby's date of conception was the obvious one, (plus she visited with two Doc's). The off island meaning would have to do with the questionable date of Jin's conception.

Re: DOC = Date Of Crash

DOC often means Department of Corrections, but I don't know what that means in this episode, if anything.
the word is also short for Documentation, yet I don't see how this relates either.
DOC is also an LSD-related drud called DesOxyChloro
Jim Jones from the People's Temple was originally part of the midwestern Disciples of Christ aka DOC and that is a little Dharma-ish, but not seriously.


Obviously it's short for doctor (and thus the title of the Billy Ray Cyrus TV show), yet I don't see how this relates to this episode other than the Doc and Sawyer represent two halves of Billy Ray Cyrus as Doc.

I'm going with that last one.

DOC = Date of Conception...

That is, unless Sun joined the mile-high club as the plane went down in your "second timeline..."

Re: DOC = Date Of Crash

Wasn't Desmond's flashback ability a result of the hatch exploding? So everything that happened before that should be safe...

Re: DOC = Date Of Crash

I think you're reading too much into it. The newspaper has been explained as a prop error. DOC means date of conception and is a common term used by medical practitioners. I do personally believe there are diverging timelines involved but I don't think these minor things are evidence of it.

Re: DOC = Date Of Crash

knowing it meant Date of Conception....

the whole time I was thinking - Dead On Conception, cause on the island the mother and child are basically dead as soon as there is conception... which is such an oxymoron... or at least it encompasses both "the beginning and the end", for the moment of the creation of new life is also the moment death begins, of course this is reality, that the moment we are born we are moving towards death... anyhoo

May I ask why? What larger-scale misinformation, outside genuine jokes and all too blatant jokes that weren't recognized as such by many a fan, have the podcasts given us thus far?
