Halpert? Wrong show, Bus. :)

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
wow! All of them are really hard to predict, even for future episodes. There isn't a single one that I can say it's going to be true in the future.
Good job Bus! (No sarcasm here) |

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
Let me be one of the voices shouting praise onto Palaver for his spreadsheet efforts. And hats off to Bus, too, of course. (Palaver, I don't know where you came up with the $200 dollars...I only have $104,000. Closest I can figure is you attributed my {57} as a {67}, maybe. Don't know how to come up with $200, otherwise.)
Paid Bets: {067} Young Ben is not shown in an episode (including flashbacks, not including "Previously on Lost"). (8:1) $13,000 = $104,000 $104,000 + $10,000 = $114,000 I really wanted to bet on Obama, but his speech just started, so I don't think that's terribly fair. I have to bet on something other than Raul's if I want to catch up, and none of these seem to be paying out tonight. Only Faraday, MAYBE, since it's his-centric episode. Hopefully Richard has his own episode someday. Bets This Week: {082} We are shown Charlie (at any age) playing a musical instrument (singing doesn't count). (6:1) $1,000 {084} We are shown Richard Alpert off the island.(4:1) $6,000 {085} We are told why Richard Alpert doesn't age (even if it turns out to be a lie later).

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
D@mnit. Forgot to bet. 10,000 internet dollars down the drain!

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
That counts as a Trek reference!!!
|
Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
Does it also count as a scene in space? It should.
(There were stars) Damn. Shoulda gone with anyone playing music. |
Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
So {56}, {71}, {83}, and {89}.
I missed the Trek reference. What was it? |

For full disclosure, I know that these numbers aren't 100% accurate. I've made mistakes that were corrected after some people made bets. Therefore, some people may have bet with money they didn't have. I think the errors are minor at this point, and a 200 point error is not too bad, all things considered. |
Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
IRT {028}: Who was the new speaking character tonight? I was looking for them...Charlotte child spoke before.
I think the Trek reference is a stretch, but like I said, if we're going that far, it should have been in space, as well. |

I think the Trek reference is a stretch, but like I said, if we're going that far, it should have been in space, as well. I think the Trek reference is beyond a stretch. The show didn't reference Star Trek: The title sequence was manipulated to sync with a Trek promo. |
Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
The spaceship flew through the "O" in Lost. It wasn't just a synch.
And there were speaking lines from nurses. |
Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
also...
{005} Jack uses his medical skills to help someone. (8:1) Is this one still unsettled? (I don't want to read the whole thread to find out) Jack did help Faraday after he was shot. |
Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
Yeah. I'm pretty sure that one was unsettled. I thought about it during the episode, but forgot about it later. It looks like only two people had it picked for a grand total of $21 each. :lol:
Those early bets don't pay off much. |

Those early bets don't pay off much. RE: my 2 cents on other issues: I think if the Star Trek reference counts, then it should also count as a scene in space. I don't have either one so this isn't a big deal for me. and regarding the use of Widmore as Faraday's father twice (56 & 89), I think it's ok to repeat predictions because there are some things that I wouldn't have guessed a month ago, that I think might happen now and this was one of them. |

The DVD/BD release will most certainly include the normal title sequence-- sans Star Trek marketing nonsense.

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
So, what is the official ruling on the Trek reference?
|
Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
I went ahead and updated the scores with {5}, {56}, {71}, {83}, and {89} being definitive winners.
I'll hold off posting any rankings here until Bus makes an official ruling on the Star Trek one. http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?k...8aPuDsaVfczHOA |
Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
I'm going to cast my vote for "no reference". It isn't like they haven't made direct ST references before in the episodes (red shirts, namely) to worry about shoe-horning this in.
|
Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
Enough people think it wasn't a reference so we'll hold off on it.

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
LOST Game — Week Ten
You have $20,000 to spend between these predictions. You can bet on any number of predictions. Any unused money from this week is lost. As I mentioned before, as the totals start getting up there, I'm going to increase each week's play money. Unless noted, "Previously on Lost" never counts towards a prediction. Predictions are in this format: {Number} Prediction (Odds) {091} A reference is made to the Hanso Foundation. (10:1) {092} The words "incident" or "accident" are used. (4:1) {093} Hurley & Miles have a conversation together that is about pop culture or explains the current plot to the audience. (3:1) {094} We are shown a child Richard Alpert.(3:1) {095} We are not shown any of the blue Dharma vans. (5:1) {096} Someone is shown barefoot. (5:1) {097} Someone introduces themselves using a false name (or a different name than what we know them by). (9:1) {098} An episode contains scenes in the Other camps, Locke's present-time camp, the beach, the Dharma village, and the jungle of the island. (These are not necessarily mutually exclusive.) (4:1) {099} At least one main character is playing a board or card game. (7:1) {100} An episode starts with a known song playing (like Petula Clark's "Downtown" in A Tale of Two Cities or ends with a song and montage (like the episode where Hurley was listening to his music player). (The montage only needs to occur at the end of the episode). (12:1) Off you go! Post your bets here by Wednesday, May 6th at 8:55PM EST. Please make your bets in this format: {00X} $AmountBet OR {00X} Description $AmountBet Thanks! |
Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
I'm still thinking about how to "end" this game. Certainly, we will start at square one in our final season (starting with predictions {121} through {130}) but I'm wondering what do with previous bets.
Any changes you'd like to see? What about a system of betting where you can only bank on, say, x predictions (out of 10) and they are worth a flat amount: $100 or $50 or $200. That may make it a bit more competitive. It would also make keeping track of this a bit easier as you don't have to calculate what each person put in, just a Y/N. |
Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
For {098}, is it required that all 5 of those conditions are satisfied in one episode?
|
Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
For this week I only have the play money and no bank.
{091} A reference is made to the Hanso Foundation. (10:1) $20,000 |
