"Lost:" The Oceanic 6 Finally Revealed This Week
I just love Darlton - those mind-bending brainiacs and czars of "Lost" conflated by fans into one (Carlton Cuse/Damon Lindelof.) First, they promise (sort of) that they'll tell the awaiting world of the identities of the Oceanic 6 after the March 13 episode.
Now, they are confirming (to me) that we'll have to wait a little bit longer. The mind-bending games continue! In an email from Carlton - not Darlton - yesterday, he said: "The evidence is all there to identify the six. But for those who remain unconvinced we will confirm the identities of the six on our next podcast."
I do believe the "next podcast" is scheduled for this Thursday when we're informed that Darlton will appear in an audio podcast "to rehash the tumultuous events that lay ahead."
And, ABC just confirmed that the O 6 will in fact be confirmed in this post-"Meet Kevin Johnson" podcast this Thursday.
I'm interested in all this in part because I got some pretty smart responses from readers to my last "Lost" blog where to the best of my limited ability I postulated the identity of the six (Sun/Jack/Kate/Hurley/Sayid/Aaron.) I also idly mused about Jin, but - hello, earth to me - he couldn't be because of the DOD on the tombstone. Man, I gotta read those tombstones more carefully... All this proves is how damn smart my readers are and that they should be the ones writing this blog.
I was especially intrigued by Lou Barber's suggestions:
"Sun/Jack/Kate/Hurley/Sayid/Micheal - I think he was in the coffin that Jack went to visit [while] Kate is keeping [Aaron] a secret, so [he] can't be the O6..."
Beats me, brother. But I will say this: The identity of the Six is not as obvious as we think. It may not even be one of the obvious ones because we all seem to be forgetting that this is "Lost," where the "obvious" is NEVER the "obvious."
Onward, Losties...

That comment of yours that "the identity of the Six is not as obvious as we think" got me thinking about the "un-obvious".
So here's a suggestion along those lines.....
Remember the Missing Pieces mobisode called "Frogurt and Hurley" (or vice versa)? I don't remember that actor's name but he appeared in a couple of shows from the mid-90s on. (I remember him from a powerful episode of 'Nowhere Man'.) Plus he was in that "Got Milk?" commercial where he was the Aaron Burr enthusiast.
I think we all know by now that nothing is introduced into this show without a reason later on down the road. So could it be he appeared in that Missing Piece mobisode to get him some face time before being revealed as Number Six? After all, there are other survivors from 815 floating around in the background; who's to say that one of them can't be one of the Oceanic Six?
Just an idea......
