- kazimir34, on 10/12/2007, -36/+286Given the mess Lost actually is, it could be connected to almost any tv show now.
- primehifi, on 10/12/2007, -8/+151Lost is connected to Cheers.
Norm is the polar bear. - incognit0, on 10/12/2007, -2/+130The shows are not really connected. The producers are friends and are having fun by putting little easter eggs in each other's shows.
- glue, on 10/12/2007, -7/+85I believe LOST is a popular tv show that airs in the Heros universe.
- EvilDr.X, on 10/12/2007, -2/+63Meh, they were already connected. Greg Grunberg (Matt Parkman on Heroes) played the ill-fated pilot of flight 815 in Season 1 of Lost.
- n3il89, on 10/12/2007, -3/+37It took me about five minutes to finally view part of the site. Digg effect is taking its toll. (I checked duggmirror but nothing) I copied and pasted what I could:
Video of the SCENE!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOLOk-ozWvQ
Well, it finally has happened. LOST on ABC has joined in connection with HEROES on NBC. I know that is JUST an "easter egg," but that is cool enough!
Both the producers from LOST and HEROES came together a little while ago and said that "...LOST could have a connection with HEROES..." Tim Kring was joking, Damon Lindelof was NOT!
WELL, we have seen/heard it now!!! LOST planted an easter egg in HEROES, only a few select LOST fans who search and hunt for such things will find it!
I think I am one of the first! Not to be COCKY or anything!
But, remember the scene where Nathan and Simone are talking about "going public" with what they can do. Nathan says something VERY interesting!
Did you catch it! Well if you didn't, rewatch the episode, and look for this quote:
"...if people knew what we were capable of, they would drop a collective brick...because that's what I would do, I'd round us all up, stick us in a LAB, on some island in the middle of the ocean."
Referencing LOST! "...LAB...some island...middle of the ocean..."
For all you fellow LOST lovers out there, (including myself) this may be an answer or two to some questions for all of us!!!
Please DISCUSS!!!

EDIT: I found a couple of articles;

http://www.gitsiegirl.com/heroes-in-losts-world/ - Bahimiron, on 10/12/2007, -2/+35Or he could be copying and pasting what was posted elsewhere.
Y'know, like he SAID HE WAS. - spartan789, on 10/12/2007, -2/+34I actually thought this was a reference to Genosha from the X-Men more so than Lost. Could just be me though...
- palmer, on 10/12/2007, -3/+31So what? This could never be as exciting as when Rick and AJ went to Hawaii and teamed up with Magnum.
- bludragn0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+27Don't forget that Stan Lee showed up last night as Hiro's bus driver.
said something along the lines of "Just you, young man?" - hudson99, on 10/12/2007, -3/+26OMG! OMG! do you think the Others kidnapped Betty when she was a kid and made her SUPER UGLY????!!!????
OMG!!!! - Andrew1180, on 10/12/2007, -4/+27If they're connected. does this mean that the Heroes plot line will slowly decline and go absolutely nowhere?
Is Hiro never going to get that sword?!?! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23Last week's Desmond episode was awesome.
Confusing, but awesome. - ad88, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17Anyone catch that Desmond's friend in the last LOST episode (real name Shishir-Kurup) is also the same guy who plays the scientist friend of Mohinder in Heroes...

-FTW - xGORDOx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17Digg me down if you like but Damon Lindelof (Lost) and Tim Kring (Heroes) are friends and have made the claim that they would love to some sort of Lost/Heroes crossover, but they are on different networks.
The Genosha idea is what I would think if there haven't already been easter eggs regarding Lost on Heroes but there has.
Gannon Car Rental?
How soon before a Hero books a flight on an Oceanic Airliner?
Lindelof and Kring both worked on Crossing Jordan.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0471352/ - Crossmenjeff, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17i suppose i'm the only one that thinks the line was just rational thinking and not a reference to some other networks show?
if you have a dude that can blow up a city, why keep him near cities? isolate him and every one of them as far away from civilization and make them your lab rats. I figured if anyone was gonna go psycho over his quote it would have been the x-men fans in the crowd.
Well, i suppose you'll all be disappointed when you see the Alaskan Lab if you didn't already know about it. - elenadragon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Lost is the first thing I thought of when that comment was made. More like a joke than a real connection.
- mjenkins, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15I didn't catch that one. I did notice the casino episodes in Las Vegas were all taking place at the Montecito. I kept waiting for James Caan or another cast member from Vegas to have a cameo.
Also caught Masi Oka (Hiro) on Studio 60 during Feb sweeps for a little tie-in there.
Of course there's the obvious Star Trek "live long and prosper" gesture, George Takei and the NCC-1701 license plate. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17I just kept reading that comment, waiting for the "OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!" at the end.
- Modulo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16stfu palmer
- adougherty, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14I also loved when Hiro was referred to as Captain Sulu, after the episode with George Takei
- TheAstronomer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Oceanic has been featured in several movies and TV shows...just FYI
http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceanic_Airlines - jonnyeh, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16I find it weird that Hiro's dad is Mr Sulu, and Hiro is a Star Trek fan, and he doesn't seem to see the connection. In the Heroes universe, was Mr Sulu played by someone else? Am I over analyzing?
- heilig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11umm, wasnt there an x-men episode back in the day were gambit, storm and jubilee visit an island where they keep all the mutants.. and developed the sentinels.. i thought that was what they were referencing, seeing as stan lee was in it.
- kindall, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10@jonnyeh
Kind of like in Star Trek IV, when the crew of the Enterprise traveled back in time to 20th Century America and somehow weren't immediately mobbed by autograph-seekers... - Ender008, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10SPOILER (if you didn't see last nights ep.)
He didn't lose his powers, he just used them last night... - Pac56, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10@jonnyeh
It's like in Last Action Hero where Arnold sees the poster for Sylvester Stallone as Terminator. - kindall, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11It's pretty obvious to me that both Lost and Heroes exist only in the mind of an autistic boy named Tommy Westphall.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Westphall - negativefx, on 10/12/2007, -3/+122nd season blew ass, and the first half of season three was a stinker, but the last two episodes were great... I recommend giving it another try. I was *this* close to quitting the show, but the last two really redeemed it IMO.
- Ender008, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Cliff hangers are what keep shows like that on the air, if you don't make people REALLY want more then eventually the show will die.
Thats why Heroes is so popular, and why Lost used to be amazing. IMO Lost IS still amazing, but objectively it was better in the beginning. What made season 1 of lost so good was that everything was a mystery, there were sooo many unknowns. The unknowns have been starting to pick up again, although people tend to forget about them, as bigger events take the spotlight. The man with the eyepatch on the camera for example. That was episodes ago, yet I predict he'll have a big part in the episodes to come.
Lost lost so many fans (heh) because of the dramatic change in the type of show it was. Everything used to be a problem that had to be solved, yet now almost everything is something random and spontaneous that comes out of nowhere. I'm looking forward to seeing how it progresses though.
Love heroes and lost, and I wouldn't mind seeing some crossover... - oonix, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10The Jetsons Meet the Flinstones!!! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0192175/ OMG!!!11!
- timbo_digg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8It's more than just the producers being friends. Two of the writers and one of the episode directors from Heroes have worked on Lost. When Heroes was assembling it's production team, they purposefully stole people from Lost to achieve a similar epic tone for the series while refining it and planning it out better so that episodes actually tell stories instead of being a series made of only cliffhangers.
- mattstooks, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9If Lost wants to be attached to Heroes, why did this nugget show up on Heroes and not the other way around?
- Koganei, on 10/12/2007, -20/+27Sounds like you're about to have an orgasm
- piratebr0adcast, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Whats the freaking quote, guys? I missed the episode and the site is swamped....
- Negyxo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6@FernandoForever
whenever someone is watching Heroes with me and asks about her I'm just like:
"Yeah, her power is to be bi-polar and freak the ***** out." - Ender008, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6blasphemous concubine!
- spudnic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8I love HOW the article capitalizes RANDOM words, GIVES it that wonderful professional FEEL
- D3koy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10This won't end well...
- Ender008, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I thought they just looked similar...thats kinda cool.
He's a skeptic in both too, although IMO, most scientists are. - hudson99, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I like both shows despite their faults and the easter egg thing is vaguely interesting (although its the sort of line that could easily have been written with no knowledge of the other show's existence)
However, the gushing "OMG! OMG!" comments on that page make me want to cancel my internet service and break my TV out of shame for the human race. - HappyScrappy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Yeah, although in the scene shot in a hotel room in the Montecito (Ando and Hiro in the room looking for the pink bag), if you look out the window behind them, the Montecito is actually up the street.
Note that the Montecito doesn't exist and is a computer rendering. I guess they just reused the model because it was easy. - dokbeast7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I don't know if anyone noticed, but in last weeks ep of hereoes (not this very lastest one, the one 8 days ago) Nikki got this rental car brochure in her little packet o' assassination and the brochure was the exact same one that has appeared in Lost at least 2 or 3 times.
- DesolataX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5So the next hit series is "Lost Heroes"?
- Jimzip, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Yeah I'd prefer they don't cross over, I like the separate realities. But you can't say it's not interesting to think about. ;)
I think it's safe to say that it won't go any further though, they've got no real reason to do so, and it would confuse a hell of a lot of people. Just something little that fans can think is cool.
Jimzip :D - Lumiras, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5yeah, and the head of the company Desmond applied for on the last episode is also on Ugly Betty...
- Jimzip, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7@MystDarkarma
My stars! You've taken a minute from your incredibly eventful life to post a comment about it on digg!
Enough said.
Jimzip :D - tmanka, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6@FernandoForever
Hey tard it was actually called genosha...sorry...little cranky tonight...but if you are going to reference these things get your story straight.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genosha - supermanred, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Both creators have already said publicly that they would love to crosslink the two shows, and have even admitted that they could do it vaguely enough that it wouldnt piss off their network bosses.
The island on lost established in the 70s (around the time everyone on Heroes was born...the super powered heroes I mean) and could have resulted in the heroes we see now. Perhaps it is as Nathan Patrelli said... An island to put all the superpowered people. One with no escape?
Could be fun if they keep mixing it up like this. - RobotJesus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Saw this a mile away. I mean look at lost, Desmond gets future telling, gets called a Super Power, Walt had that crazy teleporting feature that he cant control, etc. I don't think they will ever be linked to the average watcher, but I believe the creators meant it to be in the same universe. Both of online experience games, etc. Maybe they will link there? I kinda hope they do in some way or another.
