Auskar Wrote:FD1.... ? I could retype my rant about using abbreviations that NOT EVERYONE CAN POSSIBLY KNOW... (It's tempting). I have no frigging clue what FD1 is and think it is terribly rude and inconsiderate for someone to type an abbreviation or acronym that isn't part of the common language usage (like FBI and DVD, for example) without at least defining it ONCE....
What's an "old fashioned VCR"... ? (Just kidding).

Not 100% sure, but FD1 stands for "Final Destination" 1. I also think there was a porno that had FD in the title that included a bus( I'll leave that to your imagination), but I was to busy playing poker in the kitchen to pay attention.

ccosborne3 Wrote:Yeah, but are there more than one? In one of the past episodes Locke claimed that the thing he saw was not the black smoke thing. I think I may have to rewatch the series, things are getting fuzzy.
Maggers Wrote:Locke did look into the "eyes of the Island," as I think he said, and he thought it was beautiful. That was when he was hunting boar in the first season. We didn't see what he was looking at. It wasn't shown; it may or may not have been the smoke. Either way, he wasn't afraid and it didn't do anything to him, that we know of.
But his second encounter with "the monster" or whatever it is, was in the form of the black smoke, and it wasn't so pleasant. The group had retrieved the dynamite from the Black Rock. Locke saw the black smoke grab his ankles and drag him through the forest and into the hole in the ground. If Jack and Kate weren't there to throw the dynamite down the hole and hold onto him while doing so, Locke would have been dragged into the hole, wherever it went, by the black smoke.
So I'd be surprised if Locke actually said that he didn't see the smoke thing.

Maggers Wrote:ROFL! Yes, I've viewed LOST just about that long. Now I'm doing the same with ROME.
