watchmen ref.[]
very well spotted. i would agree with damon, as regards how damn good it is. and with half the LOST production crew being massive comic fans, very probably intentional. illuminatus!, watchmen, flann o' brien... damn, these guys have impeccable taste. the lobby for cthulhu to feature in season three starts here! --kaini. 18:25, 28 May 2006 (PDT)

Pictures... um, kinda tough, since it's really not an actual object seen on Lost, it's a metaphor. Therefore, going to remove the "Category: Items" cat, and just leave cultural references. (Also, added Citizen Kane) --PandoraX 11:08, 4 November 2006 (PST)
Relevant references[]
"Cities in Flight" has no reason whatever for being in this article. Same with Citizen Kane - it's famous, but it has no connection with Lost's snowglobe metaphor. The Truman Show is about an isolated environment, like the snowglobe metaphor, but it doesn't refer to snowglobes, as far as I know; it seems like the mention is a holdover for years ago when "it's a fake island / social experiment" was a popular theory.
That leaves Watchmen and St Elsewhere. We could leave the first because of all the other Watchmen connections, and we could leave the second because it had such a famous finale twist, and Lost teased reusing that twist. --- Balk Of Fame ♪ talk 22:24, April 13, 2012 (UTC)
- I've never seen any of the films mentioned, but how does Citizen Kane's title character dropping a snowglobe before he dies have any relevance to Lost? There are countless films in which a snowglobe is featured at pivotal moments. Jumper being one of them (he retrieves a snowglobe from a frozen lake before falling in and discovering how to "jump") so why is this relevant? I agree with you, if it has no relevance to Lost it shouldn't be a reference.--Baker1000 23:44, April 13, 2012 (UTC)
