After years of flashbacks, this episode had segments in the future. One scene took place in the Hoffs Drawlar Funeral Home. Hoffs Drawlar is an anagram for Flashforward. A body leaves the home in a Canton-Rainier van. Amagram for reincarnation.<br /><br />In storytelling, where do Easter eggs stop and symbolism begin? Example: one character in LOST is a British rock musician. In a flashback about him he's listening to a song by the Kinks. The Kinks were a British band dominated by two brothers whose stormy relationship threatened/defined the group. Ditto with the character and his singer brother.Robert Loprestihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08844889305615182897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-12621639754254283122012-04-08T22:09:25.640-04:002012-04-08T22:09:25.640-04:00Louis, I know more about Mac than Windows, but if ...Louis, I know more about Mac than Windows, but if you send me detains, maybe we could figure it out.<br /><br />ABA, I approve.
