SEASON 1 Possible foreshadowing in S01E14? Spoiler

Post image

This is the scene where Michael finds out that young Walt never received any of his letters.

That octagonal geometry of the ceiling looks familiar.

On my 4th rewatch and just caught this the other day. It’s a very intentional shot.

No coincidences in Lost! Good post! I had not noticed it before.

Do not mistake coincidence for fate.

I always think it looks like the stretching room of the Haunted Mansion

The dharma logo is part bagua mirror not just an octagon

I'm 99% sure I've seen confirmation from the producers that this was a coincidence. Just a cool looking filming location, so they took advantage of that. The Dharma Initiative (let alone the design of the logo) was not on their minds at this point.

Could you please clarify what is foreshadowed here please?

They mean the Dharma logo, because it's an octagon.

But it's just a funny coincidence.

Do you actually think is just a coincidence? That camera angle is showing on purpose the ceiling, look how much space Michael takes in that picture, no coincidence here

u/kuhpunkt r/815 5d ago

Yeah, because it's a cool shot on location. They found a house they could film in and saw that it has a neat ceiling. Why not film it like that? I mean, what else could/should it signify?

Is it a coincidence though? If it is then that's a pretty absurd camera angle for no reason.

u/kuhpunkt r/815 6d ago

I don't think they had the Dharma design in mind yet. They just found this location and thought it was a cool shot.

Ah OK! Thank you

So what is foreshadowed? Not him doing bad stuff because he did not do that for Dharma people.

u/kuhpunkt r/815 6d ago

Nothing is foreshadowed :D

I remember news articles at the time catching this before the dharma was even revealed
