In Hurley's dream, there was a bit of an easteregg in that Walt was on the side of the Milk carton Hurley was holding - under a "missing" caption.

Just poiting it out :)

Okay, how did I miss that? :smile:

I thought I saw an image of something, but in a snap the image was gone...

Good on you, Late: sharp eyes!

Here you go:

Haha, that's awesome.

It reminds me of something that happened in an episode of Stargate SG1 last season, where there was this news paper called the "Ascended Times" and it told of the threat going on on SG1's spinoff Stargate Atlantis.

I love easter eggs like this.

I saw the image and thought to myself, "How did the picture of the kid get on there? And how is the milk still good??" LOL Then I didn't think anything of it after the dream. UGGG I need to think more!!
LOL

LOL

My WTF moment came when he pulled the freshly cooked steak dinner out of the boxes, lol.

Can anyone clean up the pic so we can read it?

So is this merely an Easter Egg or is there going to be some explanation like "Hurely knew...." Oh the speculation!

Awesome catch...I am so slow on the first run...watch for entertainment, then watch again for clues.

A premonition of Hurleys? his dream has Walt on the missing child ad on the
milk. I wonder if Hurley will think back about it?

I'm thinking Hurley is special as well.

Claire's dreams came true, Locke's dream came true , and now something true is in Hurley's dream.

Yeah, saw that and got a big kick out of it. When I saw that I thought for sure it was a dream ;)

Did anyone get a good screen cap of this?

It's just the word "DHARMA"

http://lost-media.com/modules.php?name=coppermine&file=displayimagepopup&pid=47841&fullsize=1

What is curious, however, is that all the food in the "Swan" shelter has the Swan logo meaning that specific food is intended for that specific shelter. It would therefore follow that each shelter has its own specifically designated food supply. After all, if you were going to fill all the shelters with the same food, you'd just use a generic Dharma symbol, not one specifically geared to the shelter in which it will be housed.

I think this propels the idea of experimentation involving these bunker dwellers as human guinea pigs. Perhaps some shelters got food with certain Dharma "additives" that are making people sick while one shelter, acting as a control group, got an untainted supply. Granted, this is out there and I'm probably reading into it a bit too much but it's not my fault; Lindelof made me this way.

That's not the milk, though. That's cereal.

Anyways...

Someone looking like Walt appears on a Milk Carton that says "missing" on it in Hurley's dream.

How does Hurley unconciously know that Walt is missing? Jin is there, too...

Hurley must be getting vibes about the Island

its all just too get us thinking guys

just like the jin talking english...hurly is dreaming

At first I thought Walt on the carton was a big clue because how would Hurley even know he was missing?

Then I thought about the writers and how they love to give the audience some fun things to find so now I think it was just an Easter Egg for the obscenely observant Fuseleers.

:tongue1: :laughing:

To me just meant Hurley had food on his mind and also those on the raft. Atleast, Jin and Walt. Also since his old boss was there in a chicken suit, he was also dreading his new job. Dreams-----what is on your mind...or so I have heard.

This picture you only see the top part of the missing child

If you enlarge this next picture you can see the missing child....Walt a lot better

Is threre a vidcap of sufficient quality that would allow us to read what the "missing" statement says?

That wasn't his boss, that was the convenience store clerk that "ratted" Hurley out to his friend and all the media.

no, i'm pretty sure it was "DJ Squall" or whatever that dude's name is (the small, skinny guy who also quit, and was hangin out with Hurley all day, until the clerk fingered him as the lotto winner...

he looked pissed (and i would be too, if right before i found out my Best Friend was a rich dude, he said "Everything should stay like this" then dipped out to Australia... without me...)

No, the guy in the chicken suit in Hurley's dream was NOT his friend. It was the store clerk who sold the lottery ticket. The chicken suit guy looked to be of middle eastern or indian decent and was definitely not his Mr. Cluck friend/coworker...[

I thought it was Hurleys boss in the chicken suit too.

Back to the logos on the food in Hurleys dream, it looks like the swan is upside down and the letters in Dharma are backwards

I do not believe that it was Hurley's boss or the covenience store cleck. I think it was the guy with the TV camera when Hurley was "ratted" out about the ticket. If anyone has some screen caps with the guy in the Chicken suit and the guy with the TV camera that would be appreciated.

Also,

Also, if I am not mistaken, everytime the guy in the Chicken suit blinked it sounded like a camera taking a picture.

It does look like Walt's picture in the milk carton

There's nothing to see from the HD version, the carton's still blurry.

The man in the chicken suit is the guy at the gas station at the end that points Hurley out, saying "That's the guy!"

iTunes.com ?

Ok- I know the opening scene is a Hurley hallucination but who is on the milk carton. sorry I do not have TiVo or DVR I am still stuck in plain old VHS. Also - is the guy in the Mr. Cluck outfit that appears next to Jin the 7-11 clerk who sold Hurley the ticket? Help me out people.

Walt is on the milk carton. I am curious about the guy in the chicken outfit also.

Yes he is.

Good eye. :) I didn't catch it until the second viewing.

I thought the guy in the chicken suit was Hurley's old boss Randy from the chicken place.

No ... it's the guy who is being interviewed by the reporter and starts screaming "That's him!" and then everyone runs over to the van Hurley is sitting in.

Thanks. I totally missed that! I thought it was Randy!

Is there a screen cap of the milk carton? I totally didnt catch that at all!!

Randy--Hurley's Chicken boss--appeared in Walkabout as Locke's boss. Same person, same name, but had a scraggly beard. Coincidence? Not likely. Somehow Randy went from being Hurley's boss--he had to be working there first--to being Locke's boss at the Box Company. Remember, Hurley's financial accountant said that the Box Company Hurley owned burned down. I'm still betting that box company and Locke's Box Company are one and the same, and true to the coincidences that run through this show, Randy went from being Hurley's boss to being Locke's boss.

Are you on the same island I am? -- Danielle

Yes - in at least 2 other threads in this forum. Sorry, but I don't remember which threads.

I finally found one! Thanks!!!

Hurley said the place he worked got hit by a meteor ... meteorite actually :) ... I'm guessing that's when Randy changed jobs.

thanks for the info on the guy in the chicken suit just watched again...great eye..
caught the milk carton too....luv this show... i still wonder what the connection jin had to hurley to be put into his dream...

Here's a screencap of the milk carton:

http://img448.imageshack.us/my.php?image=waltmilk4nf.jpg

Hurley's box company didn't burn down, some other company did. Thanks for the screen shot of the milk carton. So are we concluding that the guy in the chicken suit was the 7-11 clerk?

Remember, Hurley's financial accountant said that the Box Company Hurley owned burned down

No, it wasn't the box company that burned, it was the sneaker company in Canada that burned to the ground - 8 people died.


Which reminds me, your sneaker company in Canada. . .

Hurley

I have a sneaker company in Canada?

Ken

Well, not any more. It was destroyed in a fire last month.

Hurley

Of course it was.

Ken

You might have read about it - 8 something people died. But, the good news is we over-insured it. It's going to yield you a windfall of cash. And, when we add in the generous settlement from the LAPD for your false arrest you almost doubled your net worth in a few short months. I still can't imagine how the police mistook you for a drug dealer.

Hurley said the place he worked got hit by a meteor ... meteorite actually :) ... I'm guessing that's when Randy changed jobs.

I wished we'd seen that meteorite crash last night! Would have jolted what was otherwise a very sedate epy.

So odd, I never thought I would ever find a guy in a chicken suit to be really creepy. That is the creepiest guy in a chicken suit ever!

The guy in the chicken suit looks like a creepy David Lee Roth.

i think it's worth talking about that hurley is dreaming about walt being missing though he would have no way of knowing that at this point. is this being discussed somewhere else? i think this would be a good place.

So does that make Hurley Sammy Hagar? :biggrin:

I was really curious about what the significance of Walt being on the milk carton in Hurley's dream was all about too. I had a tiny speculation that subconciously Hurley missed hanging out with Walt because Walt is a kid and doesn't expect as much from him, at least not as much as the other adults.

I am SO glad someone else connected the fact that Walt was on the "missing" part of the milk carton to the fact that Hurley doesn't know he's missing! I did notice though, that Jin and Walt (both people who have left the island -as far as he knows) were featured in a dream with the person Hurley associates with having got him ON the island...

Well it is possible that all the people on the island have psychic tendencies but many are not aware of them (yet). It's possible that Hurley subconsciously knows Jin (Sawyer and Michael) are still on the island, putting Jin in his dream, since he hasn't left the island and he also subconsciously knows that Walt is missing and that is why he is on the milk carton.

Remember the last episode last year...the flashback of everyone getting on the plane? When Hurley gets on..he walks past Walt and gives him a thumbs up...that was weird...

About the milk carton...I about fell over from laughter...these writers are so damn creative...

Isn't that a little redundant? :)

baileysdad i seen and talked about this before, finally found someone that thought that exchange was something...when hurley gets on the plane he walks by walt and mike...mike is buckling walts seatbelt, or adjusting it..walt looks up and hurley gives him the thumbs up and walt smiles and almost looks glad hurley is there...hmmm
skybluelost:-)

There HAS to be something to that exhange...Jack briefly looks at Locke and nods too...you would think they would remember that...

About the milk cartoon - I think the writers threw that in for the viewers like us who pay too much attention.:wink1: It wasn't as if Hurley looked at the cartoon or made any comment about it. It was just put there for all of us to speculate about, in my opinion.

the point is that this was all supposed to be in hurley's subconscious mind.
i'm not one of those people who think that everything means something, quite the opposite. but the connection between those two characters is strange and interesting and i feel strongly that him knowing things he couldn't possibly know about walt suggests something about
1. those two characters being special to each other in a way we don't know
or
2. hurley having walt-like powers too
or
3. it's a dramatic reinforcement of the interconnectedness of the people on this island. this time i don't think it's just cleverness on the writer's part.

and i'm not one that always thinks things are meaningful.

I believe Walt is special in ways he is only now coming to understand and try to control. (yes, I am one of those wackos who believes some people do actually have *specialness*)

I believe Walt *contacted* Shannon, and I believe he may well have attempted to *contact* Hurley, but with even less success than he had with Shannon. Hurley was in a dream state and the best Walt was able to do was insinuate himself into the dream ... alas, Hurley's attention was engaged elsewhere at the time.

Either that or the writers were just having some fun. :)

Can't ever be sure, but methinks that Walt on the milk carton was just a bone that the writers threw out to all of us keen-eye-for-detail, freeze-framing, note-taking fans. Hurley just guzzled down the milk - I don't think he ever even looked at the carton, so what was on it essentially was a nonfactor as far as him and his dream.

I can just picture it: Writers are gathered in a room, tossing ideas around, and one says, "Hey, here's an idea! In Hurley's dream, let's put Walt's picture on the milk carton!!!" Everybody in the room rolls on the floor laughing!

am i really being that dense, or is there anyone else out there that thinks the milk carton thing is more than just a sight gag? in a dream the universe is all your own. you can't have something in a dream that doesn't have something to do with you, whether you realize it or not at the time. that whole subconscious mind thing.
yeah it was funny, and it probably was a little gimme to all of those screen capture people, but i also think sheba's idea of walt making contact and it not working is kind of cool. it wouldn't be the first time he's attempted such a thing.

I agree with this - everything we saw and heard in Hurley's dream was about Hurley and only Hurley. I thought the picture of Walt on the carton with the word "missing" meant that Hurley missed Walt or that Walt was now missing from the island group and Hurley felt his absence.

Hurley and Walt have had several connections - the plane scene (smile/thumbs up), the exchange of the comic book from Hurley to Walt, the backgammon games. And Walt tells Hurley about Brian, his 'other dad'. They may not have had a lot of scenes together but there has been a sense of closeness there.

So odd, I never thought I would ever find a guy in a chicken suit to be really creepy. That is the creepiest guy in a chicken suit ever!

The chicken suit guy freaked me out just as much as Walt standing there dripping wet. I can't believe Walt is on the milk carton. Who goes to that much trouble and detail? The people who write for this show are awesome.

Anyway you look at it..it was really funny.

However...Milk does spoil...where did it come from?? Unless it was dreamed and there isn't any...

it certainly was dreamed. when they were inventorying i didn't see rose open a box and take out a plate of ready-to-eat steak and mashed potatoes already heated with the gravy and fixings.

Can anyone post a screencap of the milk carton in extreme close up. i'd be interested in reading the small print information on the missing Walt. I'm sure it must say something. I just cant make it out. Someone posted a screencap in this thread with Jin in the background. Couldn't we posibly zoom in on it?? Just wondering.

i dont think anything with lost can be over-looked...lol...there is meaning to all...lol...
but i kinda felt the same way u did bigyellowdogs... i feel it is walt maybe trying to get thru to the people he knows trying to get help...shannon, vincent, hurley, ...hmmm
skybluelost:-)

I think walt has this super powers, like this guy on the wheelchair in Xmen 2 .. not the bald guy xavier or whatever his name is, but this guy who can make hallucinations

I think it was on purpose as well. I was a little perplexed that Hurley was drinking milk, as it couldn't possibly last, but perhaps it was some sort of condensed milk or it was frozen??? So, let's pretend it was frozen in the box. Remember, the contents of the pantry are 3 years or older.... could it mean that Walt actually had a period of time with Brian and his mother when he went missing... possibly a runaway attempt?

The connection between Walt and Hurley is undeniable. Anyone notice that Walt would call the dice he rolled in backgammon games? Hurley never beat him as far as we know in backgammon. So if Walt is "the luckiest boy I know," would Hurley be the unluckiest? Bad things happen all around him, but never to him, as if he is immune to the curse of the numbers. Even when he travelled to Australia, the other guy connected to the numbers lost a leg didn't he? So does Hurley have a special power that keeps the numbers from messing him up, actually his $114 million grew to $156 million?

I also would like to delve deeper into why Jin speaks perfect English in Hurley's dream. The simple answer would be that it was such a surprise when Sun spoke English, that this would be something he expected. Or does he know something about Jin, explaining why he subconciously knew Walt was missing? Are Jin and the chicken suit store clerk going to play the same role in Hurley's lives, both in the past and now in the present?

Smacks of Easter Egg to me.

In video games, the writers will often put strange images in odd or hard-to-find places. Often gamers consider it an honor to be the one who finds it first. Often they are in-jokes about the game, pictures of the developers, their family, or friends, or other oddities. It's considered a tongue-in-cheek wink at those who take the time to scruticnize every nook and cranny of their creation.

That's what this seems to me. Hurley doesn't notice it, so it has no significance to him. Jin doesn't notice it; it's purely a tongue-in-cheek reference to something the viewers know, especially those who freeze every frame of the show and scrutinize every detail.

At least, that's my take on it. I don't see how it could be significant to the show, in spite of some of the rather well thought out theories in this thread, I don't think there's enough evidence to tie Walt and Hurley together.

I think the writers were around talking about this scene where Hurley is eating all this stuff, and thought it would be funny to plaster Walt's face on a milk carton. I think it's just a nod to those of us who look for every possible hint as to what is going on.

good thoughts...only thing he did not lose his (sam) leg, his wife did in car accident while sam was driving (he hardly had a scratch)...and hurley doubled his winnings according to his attorney from being over-insured (yeah right), investments, and the lapd settlement for false arrest...lol..

The creep factor went up when the guy blinked along with the alarm beeping. Took me a second viewing to catch, but it really added a surreal touch.

I really think the people working on this show really love it. The prop department probably love placing all those numbers everywhere. The WaltCarton must have been a fun one to put in as well.
That sort of thing takes time to make. It had to be intentional, regardless of how funny it would have been to put in.


There HAS to be something to that exhange...Jack briefly looks at Locke and nods too...you would think they would remember that...
Or the Charlie/Hurley exhcange during Hurley's mad dash to the airport in the hotel elevator when Charlie yells at Hurley. "Some of us have a plane to catch!"
