So- if you loved last night's episode, raise your hand now! Fantastic, wasn't it? Produced more questions than answers, but, my, didn't they do it in a brilliant way? Below is a list of ALL the easter eggs spotted throughout Flashes Before Your Eyes. Enjoy!

Note: This will contain spoilers if you haven't already seen Flashes Before Your Eyes!



 

One of the most noticeable easter eggs was the painting in Charles Widmore's office:

As you can see, a polar bear is quite clearly visible, as is an upside down man. A possible reference to the girl pictured on Persephone's hole during The Lost Experience? A reference to Eko? Who knows? Not me. Notably, the word 'namaste' is spelt backwards on the painting; this gives weight to my Lost experience theory, particularly as it was used by the main focus of the ARG, The Hanso Foundation.

 

The book Hurley was seen reading was identified as:

If you can't read the print, the book is in fact called 'Laughter in the Dark', by Vladimir Nabakov.

 

Adds for almost all recurring companies from Lost appeared on this episode. They were located on the TV screen playing the football match in the pub Desmond visited, in his flashback. Here are some screencaps:

Other companies included Gannon Car Rentals and the diaper company Driveshaft made an advertisement for.

Here is another screencap, this time of the lady who explained to Desmond the importance of doing what he had already done in the past:

Besides from mother time, notice how all the clocks are set to different times....

Back to Desmonds flat, and what is this:

Does that label say future? 'Future' paint?

Also in Desmond's flat we have this:

Are those the hatch hieroglyphics? it's debatable, there are similarities but to me they look so different....

Delving into Desmond's flashback(???), we see Charlie busking to the people, playing 'Wonderwall' by Oasis. Here's an image of his sign:

Hieronymus!? Really? To me, Charlie looks pre-Driveshaft, and the fact it was unmentioned on this sign backs it up. If this is true, we are yet to find out.

A shot of the MacCutcheon whisky seen both on and off the island throughout the episode:

Mr Widmore has very expensive taste's, and a sharp tongue to boot.....

Another mother time picture:

Notice her pin. it is very similar to an ouroboros, a symbol representing a neverending cycle of time.......

Straight forward egg:

Just one of many appearances of the numbers/hatch in this episode.

Other spoilers, included but without screencaps right now, include:

  • A model boat shown in Widmore's office.
  • Charlie singing 'Wonderwall', including the lyric 'you're gonna be the one who saves me'. Ironically sung as Desmond looked on.
  • Several appearances of the numbers and other hatch signatures in Desmond's flashback, including his microwave making the bleeping sound the hatch timer did when it the 4 minute mark.
  • the actor who plays mother time appeared in the film THE OTHERS.

Special thanks to DarkUFO, Humpys and our very own JoeDharma. All pictures were taken from these people. This post will be updated if new easter eggs are discovered.

Thanks for calling it football and not soccer!

also, im unsure if you have mentioned this but the song, "Make Your Own Kind of Music" by Mamma Cass was played several times which was also played in the Hatch the first time we get to see the inside of it S2xE01. The songs played when he was in the pub both times.



don't forget "Building A Myster" is playing when Desmond is putting his tie on :)
