Trivia

After the scene where Locke and Eko watch the orientation video for the "Pearl" station of the Dharma Initiative, a gag commercial is included in the next actual commercial break. This commercial sings the praises of the Hanzo Corporation, which sharp-eyed viewers would recognize as being the copyright holders from the Dharma Initiative tape. This commercial included a website and a toll-free telephone number at the end (www.sublymonal.com and 1-877-HANSORG, respectively). Viewers who called the phone number were treated to an interactive presentation wherein they could listen to the voice mail messages of senior executives of the Hanzo corporation, and, when the phone call was "hacked" by a mysterious woman called Persephone they could obtain a password. When visiting the website, viewers could play an interactive game which eventually unlocked access to the Hanso Corporation's homepage. If they tried to sign up for the Hanzo newsletter on this site, the site would be "hacked" by Persephone, who would ask for the password from the telephone number. Those with the password were signed up to access "secret" anti-Hanzo news and messages from Persephone.

User Reviews

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje!

It is way too rare that you see such a quality acting on screen.It is,simply,stupendous.But,in fact,what else than a most powerful art could be expected from an Eko&John show?And not only these two,but EVERYBODY in this episode is astounding.The acting level is very high.

I don't know if the story goes some place,but every bit of it is excellent.I find the creativity and inventiveness of this show's authors outstanding.I don't mind very much about "DHARMA",instead I'm very interested about "John","Eko","Sawyer".(The story of the wonder,in this episode,was predictable,and yet,how wonderfully narrated.)

The music underscores very effectually a suspenseful scene.

As a matter a fact,till now each "Eko" episode,like this one,was a knockout.For me,"Eko" is the most interesting actor of this show.
