It could be a garbled up bit of their last radio transmission including people on the other end It could be people trying to raise them on radio after they disappeared It could be memories they're having while delirious on the island or having flashback scenes to the preparations for the journey It could be cannibals discussing what spices would go best with them (now that's dark show...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cartography WWII in the Pacific theater Pirates of the Caribbean King Kong Gilligan's Island Castaway Lost Amelia Treasure island Lord of the flies Shipwrecked pompeii The Bermuda Triangle El Dorado Monster Island Skull Island Given the corps recent delving into literature or historical periods/events and creating an interesting and audience friendly show, I would lean toward possible shows with a lot of substance which would eliminate (IMO) most but: Amelia, Lost, Treasure Island. The SOS part creates interest as it can be for a ship, plane. SOS is the international distress signal and has a linguistic origin. It is a French translations for "Help Me". It was first used in 1908 for a Cunard ship SS Slavonia. SOS also does not mean "Save Our Ship". It has other meanings, one of which is "Save Our Souls". So that is what I just learned about it. It is actually a bit complex. So taking that thought, I guess we are going to get a much more complex show from Boston this year, which kind of aligns with the camp reports. Suffice it to say, Boston appears to be stepping up their game. Eat em up Boston 2018. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the interest of historical and linguistic accuracy, I think you might have confused two distress calls. S.O.S. isn't a translation for "help me." Mayday is. It's an English-ized version of the French "m'aidez," which means "help me" in English where it's usually rendered "mayday." S.O.S. in French is S.O.S. - you just pronounce the letters a little differently. As for the teaser, it feels like more new age blather to me. Here's hoping it's not.

Nothing better than being corrected...Love it. I apologize for my horrible lack of precision in the explanation. But you get the gist right? And you kinda said what I said. SOS is Mayday which means help me. It is also a fun and creative teaser but if you don't like it, there is no reason to characterize it as new age blather. Sheesh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
