I've completed viewing all the bonus materials on Disc 7 of the Lost Season 2 dvds, all except a section titled "Lost Connections." For those who haven't heard about it or haven't seen the dvds yet, what it involves is tv monitors connected to each other with a various number of cables, depending on how many connections a particular character had with others before the crash. Since Jack was the first character we saw in the pilot episode it begins with him. You select a particular cable leading from his monitor and it takes you to others and a short clip is played which shows the previous connection. The character that seems to have the most connections (as far as I've discovered anyway) is Hurley.

I am sure that most avid fans of the series noticed the connection between Jack and Sawyer (Sawyer boozing it up with Jack's dad in an Australian bar) or Jack and Shannon (the auto accident which brought Sarah into Jack's life is the same one that claimed the life of Shannon's father).

But today's trivia challenge is for you to tell me connections that involve minor background players (ie, not on the island) that tie two of the Lostaways together. Specifically:

Identify the character that had an interaction between both Hurley and Locke.

Ditto for the one who had a connection with both Hurley and Sawyer.

PLEASE NOTE: As far as I know these two minor characters are not on the island, at least I haven't noticed any indication of it yet, but that of course might change in upcoming episodes.

I *think* Hurley was Locke's boss. Or at least owned the box factory where Locke worked.

I'll have to ponder the Hurley/Sawyer one some more...

Close, but no cigar on your first guess DTH.

The question is which other character connected them.

Um... was it Hurley's boss from the Chicken place? Did he show up as Locke's boss too?

Randy was Hurley's boss at the chicken place, and Locke's boss at the box company.

The girl Sawyer brought back to his hotel room when Hibs was there to tell him he'd found the 'real' Sawyer was also the girl reading off the winning lotto #'s on TV.

Correctamundo!

In the third episode of the first season, the guy who taunted Locke about the Walkabout is the same one (sans the mustache and goatee) who was Hurley's boss at Mr. Cluck.

Groo posted as I was composing my last one.

He is also correct, and I believe her name is Mary Jo.

Okay, here's (an easy) one: what's the connection between Locke and Sayid?

Locke inspected a house Nadia was buying.
