By the way, Ethan Rom was an anagram for “Other Man”, as Ethan was the first “other” the survivors met.

Many of the survivors had names that revealed something about their character. Jack Shepherd (the leader), James Ford (Sawyer) was named after the real life conman who was a pillar of the community by day, pirate/bandit by night. John Locke was named after the English philosopher whose theories of self, identity, and consciousness influenced the Western World.

Most of the main characters also had their own personal theme music. A lot of it was subtle. The most obvious one, though, was Sawyer’s. He was the only one whose theme was composed of a stringed instrument (the guitar), perfectly suiting his outlaw nature.

This thread has brought back a lot of memories. I wonder if any show will or even could have such a huge international impact as that one did, where fans from literally all over the world would meet online and obsess over each little mystery, for example, why the fuck was Jack’s dad wearing white shoes when Jack saw him on the beach. He was in a suit wearing fucking white sneakers that looked an awful lot like that white sneaker hanging from a tree in the jungle when Jack first woke up.

Why was the shoe there, how did it get there, who the fuck knows, they never told you. You had to guess that shit. Polar bears on a tropical island? Fuck you, motherfucker. (Actually they did explain that one.)
