10 Most Insane Things That Ever Happened At Comic-Con

If Lost still doesn't make any sense to you, years after the mystery-filled island TV show finally ended, maybe that's because you weren't paying attention to the whole story. Along with the marathon run of one-hour episodes about time travel, smoke monsters and steamy jungle romance, there was also a series of Lost "alternate reality games" running parallel to it. The Lost Experience was one of several ARGs played online by fans, who pieced together clues seeded through tie-in websites (like, say, a fake DHARMA Initiative homepage) and in a spin-off novel which had no directly publicised link to the show.

Things got seriously weird when the ARG broke the fourth wall into real life, with key character Rachel Blake (or rather, the actress playing her) showing up at the Lost panel during Comic-Con in 2006, where she accused the show's creators of conspiring with the Hanso Foundation, before being escorted out. Which was probably insane whether you were following The Lost Experience or not.
