YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! (ipastor)
As many of you know, LOST is quite an exciting show that has crazy twists and turns. Every now and then there are little details in the episodes that most people don't catch until you re-watch the episode or slow it down (Like the writing on Charlie's hand in the beginning of season 4). Well, ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to say that I have finally discovered one on my own. Now don't get me wrong, I'm sure many other people have discovered this. But no one I know!!
In the season 4 finale, as you all remember Martin Keamy straps a heart rate monitor to his arm which is linked to a C4 Bomb on board the freighter. Now, while we were watching the episode a few weeks back at Carlos' house and Martin first flashes his "heart rate monitor" I immediately yelled out, "Hey that looks like a guitar tuner!" The only one that seemed to agree with me at the time was Yoel (And they wonder why bassists are so smart). Well a few days back I was re-watching the finale and when I saw the "heart rate monitor" I remembered that it looked like the tuner so I paused it and examined it. The guitar tuner it reminded me of was a Korg Guitar/Bass tuner that I happen to own. After carefully comparing the two I discovered that I was wrong. The item on Martin Keamy's arm was not a Korg Guitar Tuner. It was actually a Korg Metronome. That's right people, the Genius prop artists for LOST decided to use a $30.00 Cheap metronome that you can find at any music store, painted it gray, added some designs and a flashing green light and VOILA you have just made yourself a C4 detonator/Heart rate monitor. Seriously though look at the two pictures very carefully and you will see that they are literally identical. The buttons, the screen, the arch on the side, and even the moving needle are exactly alike.
So there you have it folks. I have discovered my first LOST hidden detail. Now I don't think this detail will help us or give us any clues (e.g. Martin bought it at a guitar center in L.A. where Charlie happened be to working at the time as a guitar salesman) but still I thought it was pretty cool.

I notice that stuff all the time. I know this is a lost post but starwars did this too. In episode 1 Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan use "communicators" (little walkie - talkies) that are really gillete shavers for Women Seriously check it out. THose crazy prop designers think were stupid or some thing?!?!?
Its really about having fun and seeing who catches it. Like in season 2 when Sawyer and Michael are on the boat and you see the shark from under the water. your seeing the bottom side of the shark, around his tale you see the Dharma Initiative logo. I thought it was funny how they put some "wireless antenna" on the 1/4" jack, on the left side.
