The other night I caught a rerun of an old episode of Lost. It was the final episode of season one, actually, "Exodus part 2".

Fortuitously it was a part with the smoke monster, one of my favorite mysteries in Lost - one that Liz hates. She likes the flashbacks and the character development stuff, but is not down at all with the sci-fi / time travel shit.

Anyway, the scene from the other night is where John Locke, Kate, Jack and Hurley are coming back from the Black Rock with the dynamite. They hear Smokey, everyone runs away except for Locke, who runs towards the exploding ground.

That changes when Locke looks at the beast - or security system - or whatever. He turns and runs, but Smokey grabs him. But luckily Kate and Jack have the dynamite.

So just when Kate is about to toss the 'splosives, John says, "No, don't do it, you'll blow the temple".

Seriously.

"You'll blow the temple."

Now, I don't follow the Lost gossip and chatter on the internet tubes, but I wonder if anyone has seen this? Because I don't recall hearing much (if anything) about the Temple prior to this season five, when Montand lost his arm and Rousseau's husband lost his mind.

Anyway, I wonder what other undiscovered tidbits are peppered in the early seasons ...
