So... we've just about ruled out everyone on the list, as far as *not being on the airplane* goes. Hard to believe it would be Hurley, and everyone else has been accounted for...

At this point, I'm leaning toward the idea that this was just something the writers threw out there during an interview to say "don't assume anything" and to encourage speculation/buzz...

true, adamblast... you'd think the writers wouldn't give away something like that.

where is everyone getting this 'unaired' copy of the show?

Definitely. DD Kim doesn't play tritely written punks.

Nope. And I couldn't see him start to do that for lack of work or any other reason. The Korean Guy is going to turn out to be something large.

Finally watched the first 2 hours. Very entertaining show. You can really get into the characters and how they deal with the situation and there are a lot of hooks to keep viewers around.

The two-hour version of the pilot (with temp track) was shown at ComiCon in late summer. It's been available all over the internet (the usual p2p ways) ever since...
