Office. OUR BOLD HERO is in a gray CUBICLE, typing at his computer. The scene opens with a BUZZING SOUND: Dan immediately realizes that it is coming from his cell phone. Our Bold Hero opens his phone, looks confused, and runs out to the FOYER (similar to the setpiece from Act II: The Legend of Legend).
Our Bold Hero: Hello?
The Blowhard (as a voice from offstage): Hey. Are you at work right now?
Our Bold Hero: Yeah. What's up?
The Blowhard: I just figured out Lost, just now while waiting at the bus stop.
Our Bold Hero (intrigued but skeptical): Really?
The Blowhard: Yeah, so... (Graham proceeds to give his theory. This should be ad-lib, and preferably somewhat outlandish. It should not mention the POLAR BEARS, which appear for the first time in Interlude VI: Ho-down.)
(Lights lower, with Graham still talking.)
So that was the highlight of my day.
(Runner-up: I did manage to fix my broken iPod this morning using my trusty Nintendo method, but such is my hubris that I had every expectation that opening the case and blowing inside would work.)
Needless to say, I have my own Lost theories, many of which revolve around a character who was on screen for at most a few seconds, so I wasn't sold on everything Graham talked about. Nevertheless, while Graham does it differently (i.e. with help from the online Lostie Overmind) and comes up with different theories, he understands implicitly that this is what we're supposed to do with Lost: theorize and speculate.
Talking to Graham sent my own wheels spinning again, and I'm now at work assembling my theories and suppositions into a cohesive form. In this, the third season, making sense of Lost is like creating an intricate piece of origami.
