Secret References to Lost in TV and Film

In no order at all...

1. Once upon a Time
This fantasy drama shares a writer with Lost, and man do they MILK IT. So many small references to the show make their way in, I can't even list them all. Luckily, somebody else has done that for me already, on this fantastic website HERE


2. Cloverfield
Right at the start of the film, they show a still before the movie.  Note the Dharma logo.


3. Super 8
Another Abrams work, so unsurprisingly, something slipped in.2 Things actually. Firstly, Kyle Chandler's character is called Jack Lamb. Hmmm. Jack Lamb..Jack Shepherd...co-incidence anyone?
2ndly, credit to slashfilm.com for finding this excellent shot of Locke Jewellers.


4. Veronica Mars
Probably my favourite reference of all, because its just so random, has nothing to do with the plot, and isn't explained in the slightest. Veronica Opens a fortune cookie in Season 2, episode 11. This is what she finds:


5. Mission Impossible III
Another Abram's flick, another Lost Easter egg. This one comes right at the end credits. In addition to the Hanso Foundation being credited with a "Special Thanks", Lostpedia informs me that the building which Ethan Hunt infiltrates to steal the "Rabbit's Foot" also carried the 'Paik Heavy Industries' logo.
