TLE-2???? Wow! Now you see, we may have gotten a hint before this and I blew the chance to mention it. On the back of the new LOST magazine there is a full-page new, shiny, glossy ad for Oceanic Airlines! When my nephew and I saw it we both looked at each other and said,

"Hmm, that's weird"

"Yeah, that is weird"

"New TLE?"

"I dunno!"

And I forgot to ask you guys what you thought about it. The ad shows a yellow hued Asian coastline scene in the background, a large pic of an Asian flight attendant in the lower right foreground, with of course an airplane taking off above, and the words "Oceanic Airlines, Experience the difference". I guess we could start descrambling the letters, etc. Where's Twinkle? :o) The only other print is a small copyright "abc studios" (no caps) in the bottom left corner.

Sorry that I didn't mention it before. Thank goodness for Sayidsgirl keeping on the ball for any developments! :-D

Capcom said...

Someone finally posted the LOST mag ad on DarkUFO.

maven said...

I know, Capcom! Isn't this exciting news? Using the word "Experience" makes me think of The Lost "Experience"!

Tess315 said...

It may just be my computer but I can't get on the ABC website. I tried to get on the the Lost site and couldn't and then tried to get on the main ABC site and couldn't. But like I said it could just be my computer.

maven said...

Sayid'sgirl: I can get on the flyoceanicair site, but the commercial is "stuck" and just flickers. It's been like that since yesterday. I did see it on Dark's site, though. The ABC Lost site is working for me.

Melissa_Lossa said...

Holy cow! I was coming on to tell the happy news that I just got season 3 as an early birthday present - but it looks like there's even better news here already! TLE2? I'm in! :)

Anybody find the first glyph yet? ;)

Oh, and happy birthday, amused!

Melissa_Lossa said...

And my fantasy team has managed to suck it up again in the rankings - however, I did move up 86 places, so there are people out there who are doing even worse than me. :)

Amused2bHere said...

Went to see "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" tonight. Wow! It was great. Puts me in the mood for a little Lost mystery, if ya know what I mean...

Happy Birthday Memphish!!

shellma said...

jess4ua said...

Shhhheeelllmmmaaaaaaa!!!!
Sorry, I just had to do it :D

Melissa_lossa - I am hoping to find the glyph under my eyelids here in a few.....oh what sweet dreams! SIGH

Also, I have had no problem with any of the sites loading, they all seem to work fine for me.

Ange said...

Happy Birthday Memphish!!

Tess315 said...

Happy Birthday Memphish!!

shellma said...

Good morning all!!
Happy Birthday Memphish!
Hey, you guys think we could get the chat room on TLC message board going again????

jess4ua said...

Happy Birthday Memphish!

minnesotawriter said...

Oh wow, I read the news and just had to stop back over here...TLE2???! YEAH!

memphish said...

Thanks for all the birthday wishes! :-D

maven said...

Happy Birthday Memphish (from the west coast...sorry I'm late for you!)

Shellllmaaaa! Mommmmmmmy! Brody is so handsome (we'll have to get him and Elizabeth together!).

TLC chat rooms...ah such fond memories of trivia bots!

shellma said...

Hi Mav!!! Yes!! I would love a chat room!!
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

maven said...

TVGuide.com has a piece about Oceanic Air back in business.

Ange said...

Thanks for posting that maven. Looks like we now have our time line for the ARG if it is indeed one..."But act fast — I hear the company may only be solvent for eight weeks or so."

So anyone thinking we need to raise Dennis or another admin, to make a new post and/or resurrect the TLE blog? I need a central location people! Blog hopping is making me nuts already, plus the people here just rock my socks.

Oh, and since I got yelled at earlier for this HI SHELL! HI HI HI! :D

memphish said...

What a beauty Shellma! I'm sure we could reach Dennis at his Cloverfield blog. I agree with Ange that we need a place to follow the happenings.

Capcom said...

Does anyone think that I should go to the Knoxville Airport and make a fool of myself by asking about Oceanic Airlines???? Considering what happend during the first few Apollo events -- i.e., no one at the events knowing what was going on, and threatening arrests of Lost fans -- maybe I shouldn't, I might get arrested as a terrorist. :o)

But if there is anything turning up at the other airports, you know that I will be there getting as much "swag" as I can for everyone if there is any! Can't wait to find out more tomorrow! :-D

Melissa_Lossa said...

Happy birthday, memphish!

maven said...

I was just wondering if there are any admins left here? I'm going to email Dennis and ask to put up an Oceanic Air post.

I'm hopping all over the place right now. TLC is the best, but we need more admins. (I'm not volunteering, BTW!)

maven said...

Here's what I wrote to Dennis:
Dennis: I know you're super busy with Cloverfieldclues since you're in the countdown phase for the movie...but...you're the only one we at TLC can turn to update our blog. We'd really like a post re the opening of Oceanic Air. Who else are admins for TLC besides you and David P. (I'm not volunteering, but we do need more people)? Maybe we can post and ask for someone to become another admin.

Thanks, Bonnie (Maven)

Twinkle said...

So much to keep up with! Happy birthdays! I love how you all care about each other personally!

If a new post is created for the new ARG possibility, could somebody concisely post links and a summary so far for those of us who haven't kept up? I'm ready to descramble (but I was never the best at it)! :-)

P.S. We're home from our cross-country trip. I don't know whether to relax or to get off my butt and do laundry. lol

shellma said...

Good idea Mav.... Ange told me David dropped out due to childbirth...(hehe not HIS childbirth) But we do need admin....

BarbaraJay said...

Omigosh, could this be TLE2? Trying to get in the mindset, I went to www.oceanicairlines.com and found this: !F?2EC7 ;GJJ 3AA96] } ICC2 C=C G7 2CCBCB]
...which could be nothing. At the flyoceanic website, I went to the press release and found this: Oceanic Airlines Contact: Georgia Cavanagh (818) 460-5520
Has anyone called this number? I did and listened to a recording from Georgia, who asked for my name and phone number, which I left.

I don't have time either but I'm psyched.

maven said...

Barbarajay: I called the number, too, and left my name and number. Haven't heard anything yet!

Capcom said...

I don't mind helping as an assistant TLE2 blog admin, but I'm not very savvy at all the decoding and the fancy stuff that Dennis does. Just about all I'm good for is making pictures and writing text. :-}

Capcom said...

P.S. Technically, it's the 31st somewhere in the world, did anything new happen yet? :o)

Fenris said...

Hi all.

Just wanted to quickly post that I've set up a blog for this new ARG.

oceanic conspiracies

I had one for the old one to do my theories on, although I never actually used it. Lol.

But anyway, I don't mind keeping going with it or if we get a TLEC2 or a re-opening of TLEC I will make use of it for my theories or just keep a brief summary.

Anyway, it's bullet point style, but for the moment there will be no crazy long ranting (except in the comments).

oceanic conspiracies

Fenris said...

Oh yeah it's tomorrow today for me, which is confusing, but nothing has exploded yet.

Well, a few monks, but they weren't involved in bottling wine.

Capcom said...

Awesome Fenris, thanks! :-D

Tess315 said...

Thanks Fenris!

shellma said...

Hey Fenny!! Cool blog!
Ok, on the flyoceanic website, there is the clock tower in the London shot. It says 2:40 or 3:40ish. I wonder if that could be the time they launch the website? But is it London time? Eastern time? Pacific time? Eh...who knows.....I'm already overreaching and it hasn't even started yet...hehe

maven said...

Thanks to Fenris (and Ange) for a great place to discuss these new developments!

But does this mean we won't be on TLC to "talk"? Also, what does this mean for when the show starts up again? I haven't heard from Dennis yet.

Tess315 said...

I told my daughter that I'd take her shopping with her Christmas money tomorrow morning. So I guess I'll have to check in when I get home to see what's going on with the fly oceanic site.
Catch you guys tomorrow.

Ange said...

Maven: Those are all excellent questions. I think the point of Fenris's blog is to give us a gathering place until an admin. comes around here. I wonder though if it wouldn't be a good idea to move over there for the 8 weeks of the game, while keeping TLC for discussion of the show????

The show starts in 30 days, and the game supposedly begins today. According to TV Guide it will be about 8 weeks...just a thought. It would give admins. time to get TLC ready for season 4. And since the game is going to go on during season 4 it would keep things organized for people who watch the show but don't have an interest in posting about the ARG. *shrug*

shellma said...

I think that is a great idea Ange!
I see no new activity on flyoceanic yet.....

Tess315 said...

Hey everyone
Just wanted to post my early theroy on what the game might be about.
Since Ninja posted this question on his Lost message board and Speaker brought it over to the Fuselage.

What happened to 815?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was talking to my buddy the Lost Ninja, reminiscing about the good old TLE days when we hit on a question we couldn't answer.

I mean, Naomi DID say that 815 had been found away from the island and that all of the survivors had died. We know that isn't the case... don't we? (Die purgatory theories! DIE!)

So, we were wondering - what do YOU guys think happened? What's with this wreckage in the ocean? What happened to 815?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last edited by Speaker : 12-28-2007 at 01:30 PM.

and we have a new oceanic site. Maybe this is what it's going to be about, finding out what really happened to flight 815. Just a thought.
Got to take my daughter shopping and I'm running late. Check in later.

Capcom said...

I think that it's a good idea to hang out over on Fenris' blog until the show starts, Ange. That works for me.

Interesting idea Sayidsgirl, indeed, TPTB do seem as if they are directing our attention to the flight: by what Naomi said, by the promos, and now the magazine ad and the website!

I just want to say....EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! :o)

ib4uc said...

Wow! Was just dropping by to wish everyone a safe and happy New Year. Didn't expect all of the activity. Going to check out Fenris' blog... Here we go again! :)

jess4ua said...

Sayid's girl- I was thinking the same thing the other day ;) That would be awesome.

Also, the myspace message from speaker said to keep an eye on two sites, because he might have something important to tell us. They are......

http://youtube.com/profile?user=insidetheexperience

and

http://www.evilpuppetmasters.com/

There has been some discussion about this, but I wanted to make sure everyone here had it, just in case.

shellma said...

Yeah and on evilpuppetmasters.com he lists the cities they will fly to and then says, "Anyone live in those cities?" Do we need to? Something going to happen?

jess4ua said...

As a matter a fact a video was just posted on evilpuppetmasters.com

Check it out and tell me what you think....

jess4ua said...

Also at the end of the post it asks if anyone lives in any of the cities oceanic is going to service......so
CAPCOM.....you just might be on to something!

Capcom said...

I just checked Oceanic, something seems to be up, there is no vid playing now. Just the logo. Or is this the problem that some were having before with it?

I'd better go get dressed, Jess. :-O

shellma said...

Capcom I was on it about 30 minutes ago and it worked once and then it wouldn't work again.

maven said...

I seem to be able to only get the site to work on Internet Explorer. It's still "stuck" on Firefox.

Twinkle said...

I'm in Firefox. I just F5'ed. It remembered that I had visited once. Of course there could be optional settings in Firefox that might prevent it from running...

Passafist said...

We didn't think it would ever happen, but here it is Episode 33 of the Lost Community Podcast.....
