- MATT MITOVICH: I'm Matt Mitovich and this is a bonus edition of TVGuide.com's "Getting Lost". As I reported exclusively a few weeks ago, producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse decided to turn it over to the fans this season to nickname the season finale's jaw-dropping final moment. Well, they've narrowed it down to a final thirteen which they're going to reveal on ABC.com's official podcast, but they've given us exclusive dibs on the number one rejected nick name. And here it is.
DAMON LINDELOF: This was hard because there were so many fabulous rejects to choose from. But the number one reject that did not make it to he top thirteen...
CARLTON CUSE: is the "Invisbul Dinasaur Hed".
DAMON LINDELOF: spelled ...
CARLTON CUSE: "Invisible" with a U-L, and "head" with just H-E-D.
DAMON LINDELOF: We will not be naming the final scene that. But it is the number one reject!
CARLTON CUSE: "Dinosaur" is also spelled D-I-N-A-S-A-U-R.
DAMON LINDELOF: OK.
CARLTON CUSE: But apparently there's a long running joke among members that if you look at a scene where there's a smoke monster, if you pause it in the sixth frame and tilt your head to the left, you will see an invisible dinosaur head.
