It's funny how tiredness can take you on strange mental tangents that open up new mysteries of the Universe for your sluggish and slightly demented mind to explore. My latest rabbit trail was provided curtusy of JJ Abrams...
We were watching Alias season four last night and commenting how weird it was to watch Sydney throw a party. She spends so much time skulking around in dark corners it's unnatural to see her smiling, wiggless and surrounded by normal people.
As we laughed and joked the song being played as your soft rock token song drifted to my ears. I froze, "It can't be?!", I thought. But wait, there it was again...
"We are everybody,
We are everybody!"
Nooooo! It's impossible! Yet there it was. I started freaking out and Smiles and Charlotte looked at me like I'd lost my mind. "What, Carla, What?" they asked with trepidation...
"I can't believe it! It's Lost, can't you hear it, it's Lost!"
The blank expressions that stared back at me reminded me that Smiles and Charlotte had shockingly bypassed the genious that is JJ Abrams latest offering. I calmed down and tried to explain...
"The song, the song they're playing, it's from Lost." I gasped.
"Yeah... so?" replied a bewildered Smiles, obviously dissapointed at the anticlimactic answer.
"No you don't understand, it's the one-hit-wonder song that made Dominic Monaghan's band Drive Shaft famous! Don't you see! It's a fictional song by a fictional band in another fictional programme!"
My brain was spiralling off with massive questions of what this could meen for the inhabitants of the island. Is JJ Abrams planning more overlaps and hints. Could this be a part of his master plan to merge all his creations into one massive metamystery!
Charlotte tried to point out that the song could simply be a real one knicked by the execs to use for theeir latest programme, but frankly I think that explanation lacks imagination. My goodness the possibilities are endless... xc
