Talk:Eggtown

message: I guess a lot of people are not following HowToBasic's instructions on his face reveal video whiteboard. He specifically says not to talk about Eggtown.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by JonKloske (talk • contribs) 00:31, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

message: Zoë Bell is listed as a guest star on this episode.  Though I have read that she will appear on Lost during this season (4) on the pages for Lost Season 4 and her own page, I do not remember seeing her in this episode.  Also, TV.com's page on the Eggtown episode does not list Bell as a guest star (though it is also a mostly user-driven website.) Is this a mistake? CCMCornell (talk) 13:47, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Zoë Bell 

message: I'd never heard of the phrase "Eggtown" and didn't know what it meant until I read about it here: http://lostpedia.com/wiki/Eggtown#Episode_Name  Given that I'm wondering if: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggtown  should refer to the term and its meaning, origins, and use and the Lost episode should be located only here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggtown_%28Lost%29  Of course, the term eggtown or "egg town" appears to be incredibly obscure, as I'm not able to find any info about it anywhere other than in reference to the Lost episode.  Still, now that the Lost episode has popularized the term, I expect that will change soon and the article name should reflect it.  Just an idea...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.254.116.181 (talk) 16:37, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Eggtown should have its own article. 

message: I have twice tried to edit this article to mention the appearance of Philip K. Dick's novel VALIS in this episode; other members of the community found my contributions too verbose and undid them. I'd appreciate it if a place could be found within this article to identify the book; if I hadn't already been familiar with the book, Wikipedia would have been the first place I looked for information about it after seeing the episode. Wikipedia was where I found out that the book the New Otherton Book Club is reading in episode 301 was Carrie by Stephen King, and where I learned about The Third Policeman after its appearance on the show. It seems like there should be a place for that link somewhere in this article. Augustus Chip (talk) 23:34, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Thank you. I'm also glad to have that info about the book Sawyer was reading. Augustus Chip (talk) 19:37, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Literary reference 

message: I don't like that this article reveals that Kate is raising Aaron in the middle. I feel like a plot summary should describe the plot as it unfolded in the episode. I tried to change this and it was changed back. No me gusta. I have changed it as such. I'd appreciate this order be maintained in future edits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.155.144.95 (talk) 17:58, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur. Describing events and revelations in the order they appeared in the episode maintains real-world perspective; placing the Aaron revelation at the beginning of the flashforward summary seems to me like in-universe perspective.  (I guess strictly speaking the flashback summary should be divided up and interwoven with the island plot as seen in the episode, but I think we can all agree that the article reads better with the two parallel storylines summarised separately.)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.24.178.141 (talk) 19:10, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The article also reads better if key plot points are not intentionally hidden until later in the article so that a reader will be spoiled at a different time.  –thedemonhog talk • edits 20:08, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

text: Compare "Through the Looking Glass".  It is a much easier read if it is revealed early in the article that it is a flashforward and not a flashback.  Wikipedia is not a substitute for watching the show.  –thedemonhog talk • edits 00:32, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm with Worchatasoto on this. I think it makes for a more accurate description of the show to put the Aaron reveal at the end of the synopsis; putting it at the beginning of the flashforward summary creates a false impression that the audience knows this info the whole time. I can see how awkward it would be to write about "Through the Looking Glass" without putting the spoiler first; one would have to be extremely vague or else call the flashforward a flashback throughout the description and then at the end be like: "I was lying, this was really a flashforward." However, I think that episode is an exception and as a general rule it's better to hold the twist endings until the end of the synopsis; I really don't see how it damages the "Eggtown" article to put the Aaron revelation at the end.

thread_title:  Aaron 

message: I have reviewed this article per the Good Article criteria.
* "Eggtown" was "the seventy-third episode overall that was aired on February 21, 2008"? Must have been a very busy day ;-)
* I think it is not important that Locke throws the breakfast.
* The way it is written, it sounds as if the grenade in Miles's mouth scene takes place in Locke's house
* suggestion: trim the two sentences "Kate spends the night... to get mad at Jack." This seems like a lot of fluff, but maybe I'm just not interested enough in the shipping in Lost
* "Daniel Faraday (Jeremy Davies) correctly identifies two of the three upturned cards" - sounds as if the cards were shown on-screen before - rm the "the" or something similar
* "in the water, eight people survived" - make this a semicolon
* "She is no longer angry" -> make that Diane because of the focus of the previous sentence
* "...Kate had died in the plane crash and she no longer wants to testify against her. As Diane was the prosecution's star witness" - make that "Kate had died in the plane crash. When Diane, the prosecution's star witness, no longer wants to testify against her daughter,"
* Maybe make clear that Aaron is the plot twist, either by saying its a plot twist, or by mentioning earlier that Kate is totally opposed to using her son for the trial
* The Production info about Gregg Nations sounds out of place since almost none of this really relates to this episode - Is Nations notable enough (incoming links, IMDb) to get his own article so that this information can be moved there?
* I strongly suggest to move the interpreations of the Egg name before revealing what Darlton said - it makes for more fun reading because the interpretations are so silly. :-)
* "Diane Werts of Newsday gave "Eggtown" a mixed review," - I suggest "Diane Werts of Newsday had mixed feelings about "Eggtown","#
* I'm having kind of an issue that this article quotes so long sentences of the reviewers. This isn't really good for the encyclopedic tone, all the switching between encyclopedic NPOV and colloquial and partly trivial POV. Could you summarize a little more?
Image FU rationales are okay, the prose would need some more polishing if this was FAC, but it is good as required by the GA criteria. Thank you for your work so far. I am putting this article on hold. Please address the points above within the next seven days. You can contact me here or on my talkpage. – sgeureka t•c 21:51, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Concerns have been addressed, except for the removal of the Nations information because I think that it is fine here.  Thanks, –thedemonhog talk • edits 02:10, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: All concerns were addressed, so I promote this article to GA. I think the spelling of "commited" was wrong in the article, so I changed it to "committed". Please revert this if I was wrong. – sgeureka t•c 11:00, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
