The writers of Lost have proven to be masters of dropping small clues and hints throughout the series, many far too subtle to detect. While watching Season 5 not too long ago, a particular scene struck (forgive the pun), an interesting chord with me.
It involves Charlie's Drive Shaft ring that he left in Aaron's crib in Season 3, later to be discovered by Sun in Season 5. On the surface, of course, this D.S. stands for Drive Shaft; however, I have wondered for some time if it is a well-placed clue by the writers...
Charlie is a musician. We've seen his musical know-how displayed in Season 3 when he keyed in the numerical melody of "Good Vibrations" into the jamming mechanism in the Looking Glass station. Now, D.S. in musical notation stands for Dal Segno. (Italian for "from the sign") This abbreviation D.S. is placed on sheet music as a navigator of sorts, directing the musician to repeat a particular passage marked by "the sign." The sign could be anywhere in the piece of music, even the beginning.
When Sun found this "D.S.", was this a clue that we are about to repeat a portion of a particular set of events from a particular time? Is it a clue of Charlie's return? Is it the desperation of a musician and avid Lost fan trying valiantly to come up with a decent theory? (This last one, I can tell you is very true.)
At any rate, just wanted to share.
Looking forward to January,
Justin
