Talk:Coincidence
Back to page
Needs foto tag
Edit
I think a good foto would be a screenshot of a character talking about coincidence. A good one would be Ben in The Cost of Living talking to Jack about the spinal surgeon falling from the sky. There's no screenshot of that, yet. If anyone has such a screenshot or a better idea, please go ahead. Rennerboy 07:51, 5 November 2006 (PST)

Reorg to simple list
Edit
I was considering changing the bulk of this article to a simple list, sorted by episode, and sectioned by season. The structure would look something like this:
Intro... == Occurrences == === Season 1 === * Bullet points with cross references === Season 2 === * Bullet points, etc. === Season 3 === * Bullet points, etc. == Analysis == === Hurley hits the Numbers, then crashes on the Island, and lives === == See also ==
Most of the existing quotes can be condensed with links to the episodes, and the Encounters section can just be a link to the Character connections page. Leave a comment here if you have any different suggestions.--Dagg 17:56, 20 January 2007 (PST)
- Yes definitely agree; I was just thinking yesterday that this page looks messy and disorganised with how it is now. :) -- Lost Soul talk contribs 23:44, 20 January 2007 (PST)
- I've finished up my planned changes. I left the analysis of Hurley's coincidences as-is, but I think it could be rewritten if someone wanted to tackle that.--Dagg 19:46, 23 January 2007 (PST)
Non-coincidental names
Edit
I'm deleting many of the "coincidental" names. For instance, the Kahana's doctor and Jack's grandfather's sharing a name isn't a coincidence. If anything, it's interesting when a show features hundreds of characters WITHOUT any sharing a name. --- Balk Of Fame ♪ talk 05:17, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
