Lost: The Four-toed Statue

[Dback Jon]

Any significance?

Or just another red-herring?

Or could it be Homercules?

I'll ask again, in the scene where the others take their prisoners out to the dock, they show a few of them with bare feet (Henry too). I can't see the picture well enough, but can someone with a HD copy get a good look at thier feet and see if they have 4 or 5 toes?

OH YEAH, I looked last night just for you...wife and I looked closely, and they all have 5 toes

Thanks Mike, darn I was sure Henry had only four. Hmmmmm the mystery goes on.

There has to be, no way it's nothing.

Edit: Last night I was thinking of Homer and the Odyssey.
Odysseus was trying to get back to his love Penelope.

Desmond means "man of the world"

We looked too, and to be honest we really couldn't tell one way or another. Sometimes it looked like four, others it looked like 4 because two toes were fused together.

They showed the feet SEVERAL times in that dock scene. I never had one frame where the feet weren't moving, so it was hard to get a still frame.

I'm going to say that its about a 75% chance IMO that they are 4-toed...but I can't confirm it unless I'm able to get a good pause on it.

Although they show their feet over and over again, it's always walking and they only show them for a little bit (because they know we are looking, probably). I haven't seen a shot of feet when they are all standing still. The fact that they shoot it that way (focusing on the feet, then not showing them for good shots) means to me that they are hiding something about their feet. Even in the walking shots, though I can't confirm/discredit whether they have only 4 toes...their feet do look weird (weirder than normal feet). Something's up down there....I'm looking for a screencap.

That's what I felt. I just couldn't tell.

I'm looking on a 60 inch HDTV LCD screen, and it's hard to see it. The fact that they are kind of protecting the feet from view, yet showing them for quick shots very purposefully tells me somethings up...I just can't confirm it yet.

with TheFuselage.com being down most of yesterday due to server load, I couldn't get my usual investigation on. I'll search for a screencap on this...no doubt there is a HUGE thread on this very thing there that I just couldn't get to load.

Don't you think that if there were a half-dozen 4-toed folk running around barefoot that someone (Jack, Kate, Sayid, Hurley...and especially Michael) might notice it? I don't think the others have only 4 toes. JMHO.

Sawyer said his theory is that they are aliens. It appeared he was joking, but...
