A little trivia piece. The underwater shots in this episode were actually done in a water tank in LA. What a weird job, that you have to fly from Hawaii to LA to shoot a scene in a water tank and then fly back to Hawaii to continue filming.

[@OldBeardedGuyReacts]

That IS pretty wild when you decide you need to leave Hawaii to film an underwater shot.

The French song at the end of the episode is "La mer" (The sea). It was a 1946 song interpreted by Charles Trenet. Its English -speaking version is called "Beyond the Sea" in 1959. It appears in films like "Finding Nemo". Unlike the English version which is a love song, the original French is a real ode to the Mediterranean Sea. A perfect song when you find yourself on an island surrounded by water. 😁

Awesome bit of trivia.

@@OldBeardedGuyReacts ... Another bit of behind the scenes, Evangeline Lilly, Kate, liked climbing trees and did all her own tree climbing stunts. Also, she was dating Charlie, back during this time.

There was an almost one month break right before this episode. Episode 11 "All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues" aired on December 8, 2004. This episode aired on January 5, 2005. During the break, they showed repeats of various episodes, but that really confused some viewers as they showed what seemed to be random episodes. From what I remember, the episodes shown were not sequential - they kind of skipped some. I believe, looking back, that they tried to air episodes that would remind viewers of important reveals. There was another break between episodes 18 and 19, but that was three weeks long (Mar 2 to Mar 30). There was a final break between episodes 20 and 21 that lasted from April 6 to May 4. Air dates taken from IMDB.

[@OldBeardedGuyReacts]

Trying to keep track of everything and then having them throw in random episodes probably would've made me crazy.

[@TheCkent100]

@@OldBeardedGuyReacts The production crew of "Lost" was very in touch with their audience through social media and comment boards. They actually listened. When viewers expressed their frustration with the way the network was handling the repeats during breaks, they eventually stopped doing any repeats during the breaks. It may have started with Season 2 where they would put on other programming during the breaks, or it might have been Season 3. But they did eventually stop doing repeats altogether. By the way, they were one of the first shows to offer web only mini-episodes (which are considered canon). They were initially available only to Verizon Wireless users and were released between Season 3 and 4. These "mobisodes" were later made available on the Season 4 dvd and blu-ray sets.

Getting caught up is bitter sweet! I've loved binging your content! I will be tuned in for more!

[@OldBeardedGuyReacts]

Awesome! Thank you!

I HOPE the cat makes an appearance in this and every video!! Cats = the point of the internet.

[@OldBeardedGuyReacts]

I'm pretty sure he'll be in future videos. I specifically bought him a cat bed and put it next to me on the desk so he could be up here but not blocking videos...but it takes a little bit of walking around for him to get comfortable and lay down.

[@letsrock1729]

Almost certain there wasn't a break when season 1 aired in the UK. Yes, the Marshal's body would be mush by now in the real world, but this is the island, so who knows? My only issue with that scene is how unbelievable it is that neither Kate nor Jack cover their mouths/noses with anything while digging up the body. Once you've smelled 'that' smell, you know it wouldn't be possible to do this (I speak from experience). Btw, it may be helpful to note that Kate's bank robbery accomplice thought her name was Maggie. Edit: And cats are always welcome 🥰

[@OldBeardedGuyReacts]

Ya that smell would be pretty horrific.

[@letsrock1729]

@@OldBeardedGuyReacts It really is.

[@akkimessiah3219]

The actress for Kate liked doing her stunts and climbing trees

[@OldBeardedGuyReacts]

That's awesome.

[@lleldridge1]

Thanks, another great reaction. It’s clear you are paying close attention, which will serve you well as the plot thickens. 😎🌴🌺

[@OldBeardedGuyReacts]

Thanks. I do my best.

And guns are in the show, folks! "Chekhov's gun (Chekhov's rifle; Russian: Чеховское ружьё) is a narrative principle that states that every element in a story must be necessary, and irrelevant elements should be removed. For example, if a writer features a gun in a story, there must be a reason for it, such as it being fired some time later in the plot. All elements must eventually come into play at some point in the story."

[@OldBeardedGuyReacts]

Ya, if there are major rifts in the group, the person/people in control of those guns is going to have a huge power advantage.

[@artoniinisto9022]

Many Lost filming sites can be visited, and the Waimea Falls nature park and botanical gardens in Oahu is available for a bit of Lost-style dip in the water. You need a life vest, and they have a lifeguard. Funnily, even some scenes 'elsewhere' were filmed in Hawaii, it has such varying locations around.

[@OldBeardedGuyReacts]

That would be an awesome vacation.

[@bafmd]

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but the actress that plays Kate loves to climb trees in real life. So, they let her do it whenever they could.

[@OldBeardedGuyReacts]

A few people have mentioned it. It's an awesome trivia tidbit.

[@jeffcrass79]

I think your instincts were correct, this was the first episode after the season 1 Christmas break, so there had been a substantial time off. This was also the first, and I think only time in the series, that there was a gap of more than one day in the STORY itself. The previous episode was day 16 on the island, this was day 20 (there's a line in this one where Shannon says to Boone he's been going into the jungle with Locke for four days). Usually the story picks up less than 24 hours later, even when there's not a cliffhanger. I presume that's not considered a spoiler. When you said you were "going to keep track of..." I thought you were going to say the guns, and I thought that was a good idea.. But that being said you may want to keep track of the guns. We now know of five -- the four in the case plus the one Sawyer got from the marshal to kill the polar bear.

[@OldBeardedGuyReacts]

Oh have no fear....I'm going to be paying attention to the guns. At some point I feel like there's going to be some sort of rift in the group...and that power struggle is going to come down to who controls the guns.

[@troubleondemand7703]

I don't think there was a real mid-season break until the 3rd season. There was a 3 week break in December, but I think that had more to do with holiday scheduling stuff.

[@OldBeardedGuyReacts]

Gotcha....looking at the release dates for episodes 11 and 12 right now. Looks like there was a break from early December to early January. I'm sure you're correct about the reason being holiday related...but I'm sure they had a pretty good idea of when there would be a big break for them to have maximum impact on the cliffhangers.

[@youtpfpm6097]

​@@OldBeardedGuyReacts In season 1, there was a break of a week between EP9 and EP10, then 4 weeks between EP11 and EP12 (it was in December), then 2 weeks between EP14 and EP15, then 4 weeks between EP18 and EP19, and Finally 4 weeks between EP20 and EP21.😊

[@OldBeardedGuyReacts]

That's the kind of thorough response that I've come to expect from you guys

[@Weinzierl1973]

I'm guessing you meant 3-month break, not 3-week. Season 3 episode 6 was 11/8/06, episode 7 was 2/7/07.

[@troubleondemand7703]

@@Weinzierl1973 I was referring to season 1 when talking about the 3 week break....

[@buddystewart2020]

I didn't see this when it originally aired so, I don't know if there was a break in the season or not. I first watched this online in 2012. I pretty much binge watched the whole thing. Since then I've watched the whole thing seven or eight times. I own it on bluray. I've watched 80 or so reactions to it as well. Currently watching you and three others. I'd say that's a safe assumption that we don't know the man she was talking about, the man she loved and the man she says she killed. It also makes sense what you said about Sun maybe knowing more than most people because they talk in front of her. How many cats do you have? I have six, lol. I'm just their stable boy at this point.

[@OldBeardedGuyReacts]

We have 3 cats. The one you've seen like being up on the desk. He has a black cat brother who's a lot more shy, so he might not ever show up on camera. Then they have a sister who's disabled, so there's no chance she's ever getting up on the desk.

[@juliet_burke]

Are you ready to tell us a list of your most liked and most disliked Lost characters? I am enjoying your reactions.

[@OldBeardedGuyReacts]

Thanks! I do have a list...but I'm pretty sure it's deeply flawed. Considering how they've turned some of my assumptions upside down, it's totally possible to find out that some of my favorites (like Hurley) actually have shady pasts.

[@canita247]

Did you notice the safe deposit box number?

[@OldBeardedGuyReacts]

Damn, that one slipped right past me...at least 3 times, because I wind up watching everything multiple times while editing. Good catch.

You are actually one of the 1st reactors that doesn't go off on kate getting the toy plane. Is Kate 1 of my favorite characters?? Hell no but she is vital to this group. As you have already seen so many in the group has already endured drama. Let's see the p.t.s d.

Was there something I missed with the toy plane? Feel free to say "I can't explain without spoilers" if that's the answer.

Lost standard season 1 is pretty weak. Let's hope you put out vids more often as time goes by!

No spoilers guys, except this one cause its only my opinion Kate episodes are the worst :)

[@OldBeardedGuyReacts]

Haha....I don't hate them, but it is a bit weird to me that we've gotten 2 Kate episodes and 2 Jack episodes before getting one about Hurley or Michael.
