Okay, The Numbers 4 8 15 16 23 42.
So Leonard has gone crazy and he keeps repeating the numbers whilst playing Connect Four. Connect four has 42 holes on a 6x7 grid.
When you plot the numbers on 'Connect Four' grid taking the bottom left as 1 and the top right as 42.......you get this.
Looking at the numbers on the diagram we get a nice image of the Big Dipper, Ursa Major. The image of the night sky in the above pic is taken from Lost 'special' the scene right after Michael and Locke have saved Walt from the bear. The shot lingers on the clear constellation for a moment.
The shot of the Big Dipper in 'Special' is intriguingly reversed/mirrored. I have considered things like production errors, optical glass reversal but I found this interesting quote:
“Five of the stars of the Big Dipper are at the core of the Ursa Major Moving Group. The two at the ends, Dubhe and Alkaid, are not part of the swarm, and are moving in the opposite direction. Relative to the central five, they are moving down and to the right in the map. This will slowly change the Dipper’s shape, roughly In 50,000 years the Dipper will no longer exist as we know it, but be re-formed into a new Dipper facing the opposite way!"
Below is the correct dipper as visible in the current northern hemisphere.(plus the reversed number plotting)
Also worth a mention that if playing Connect four, one players 1 is another players 37.
We have seen the numbers on another 6x7 grid too.
We were reminded of connect four in the first episode of S4 'The Beginning of the end'.
Looks like Santa Rosa have a brand new board.
Any thoughts on the Connect four - Numbers - Dipper madness?
