So MUCH has happened in the last ten days! Kate, then Locke, then Jack all went down into the hatch. There was a crazy English man called Desmond down there. Kate said it seemed as if he and Jack knew each other! And there are supplies down there! Food, soap, a bed, running water, electricity and a washer and dryer (which somehow seem much more modern than anything else)! And a computer, that beeps every 108 minutes until someone enters a code (4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42) which REALLY freaks Hurley out. When Desmond thought the computer was beyond repair, he ran away, leaving us with the computer and the buttons. Who knows where he went off to?
And the people from the raft are back! It seems that some scary dude with a beard was on a little boat and kidnapped Walt! And shot Sawyer! Then blew up the raft! Jin, Michael and Sawyer all made it back to our island, but were kidnapped as well. Only the people who kidnapped them were also survivors of flight 815, in the tail section. There were really scared because many of the people in their camp (including two children) had been kidnapped and it turns out these "Others" had a spy in their camp! Ana-Lucia, this really strong LAPD cop killed the guy, but until they were sure that Michael, Jin and Sawyer were not also spies, they kept them prisoner.
Eventually, they made their way across the island to find our group. These "tailies" (Hurley's name for them) include Ana-Lucia, Mr. Eko (a dark, brooding priest with a dark, brooding history), Libby (a kind and pretty shrink, on whom Hurley's got a crush), Cindy (whom we never met because she disappeared on the journey here - maybe the Others got her, too!), and Bernard! Dear sweet Rose was finally reunited with her husband!
Unfortunately, though, that reunion was overshadowed by yet another death among us. During a terrible rainstorm on the way to our side of the island, Ana-Lucia (who was among many to hear some weird whispers in the jungle) accidentally shot and killed Shannon. Sayid and Shannon had become close and her death hit him very hard.
A couple of days later, Michael locked Jack and Locke in the hatch and took off to try to get Walt back. Sawyer, Locke and Jack went after him, as did Kate, on her own. They ran into some of these Others including the scary dude with the beard. They held Kate captive and told Jack to stand down or they would kill her. It sounds as if there are a lot of them and they are well armed. We are all a little scared.
Then, Eko saw the Virgin Mary statue that Charlie had and went a little psycho. He made Charlie lead him to the plane and do you know what he found on that plane? His BROTHER's body! His brother's plane had crashed on the same island. Too spooky. But he didn't see all that until AFTER he saw the smoke monster. THE SMOKE MONSTER!
You know what is weird though? Nobody ever TALKS about all these crazy things they see. I have to overhear private conversations just to have ANY idea what is going on around here. If I saw any of this crazy crap, I would be telling EVERYONE! Shannon and Sayid saw Walt. Kate saw a horse. Jack saw his dead father. Charlie and Eko saw the smoke monster. Why isn't anyone comparing NOTES!?
If I ever get off this island, and make these notes into a movie, no one would believe it! You never know what is going to happen next on this island!

I love that lion movie, thank you for sharing.
Okay, so if I guess the Shannon's irrelevant suitcase item, I guess that means it is my turn to ask a question.
Who was the first person thrown into Ana-Lucia's pit?
: ) P
Sawyer's Nicknames:
Episode 10 The 23rd Psalm
Freckles to Kate
Pillsbury to Hurley
Episode 11 The Hunting Party
Freckles to Kate
Doc to Jack
Mr. Clean to Locke
Daniel Boone to Locke
S O B about Tom
Zeke to Tom
Freckles to Kate
Episode 12 Fire + Water
Jabba to Hurley
Jethro to Hurley
Hoss to Hurley
: ) P
I think it was Jin
We live in San Diego less than 2 miles from downtown but we actually have about a acre of canyon land in our back yare complete with hawks, owels, cayotes, foxes and many other wild animals. very unusual for living in the city
Cool canyon in the city Circus Mom! Wasn't the first one in the pit another guy? Ethan killed him or something.....I can't remember his name. I think he was a survivor of the tailsection though....not an "other".......
I guess hair dryer. JK.
I think Ana Lucia was the first one in the pit....no?
I have a million wildlife encounter stories as I am an avid hunter. No, not all my stories are about the kill, in fact I don't take many. I just enjoy being amongst them (which is why I live where I do). I currently have a mother white tail doe with twin fawns who bed at the back edge of my property. We see them daily at the pond. We have the occasional coyote, more rabbits than my Basset's nose can handle (his name is Diogi, get it d-o-g?), and all the other usual MI critter except black bear (we are too far South). The pond has bass, crappie, blug gill and rock bass. We have a resident box turtle that I guess to weigh 50 lbs. as well as smaller ones and a couple of painted turtles too. We have a resident owl that makes a meal every couple of the mourning doves in the pines close to the house.
Thx miss kim for the sports compliments.
Miss Kim is the closest with the "survivor who was thought to be an Other but wasn't" guess. Ethan didn't kill him though. Ethan was the spy in the LOSTies' camp. Goodwin was the spy in the Tailies camp and HE was the one to kill the first guy in Ana-Lucia's pit.
Maybe those hints will get you closer to his name, or maybe DocH will know. If not, I'll give you the answer and Miss Kim, as closest guesser, can ask the next one!
: ) P
Oh, I remember now. His name was Ned or Nate or something like that. Goodwin killed him 'cause Ana was going to torture him.
Close, it was Nathan (which is too much like Ethan!)
Okay, so Hammer or Miss Kim - you're up for a question!
: ) P
Okay I'll go while miss kim comes up with one.
What was the first "bad luck" thing that happened to Hugo after he won the lottery?
Ooh, good one. Okay, I think it was his grandfather having a heart attack over the news that he won. It might have been the new house he bought for his mother catching fire - but I think dead gramps came first.
How'd I do?
: ) P
B+, it was gramps, but at the news conf. instead of hearing of the news.
Are we waiting for miss kim or are you up?
Here's Diogi.
Great dog name, Hammer. My kids are into karate, so I was thinking Miyogi and would NEVER have got to D O G had you not told us! LOL
Oh man, I guess I will come up with one for now... hmmm.
Okay, before Eko burns the drug plane, Charlie hides a cache of Virgin Mary statues. Locke finds them and does what with them?
: ) P
Diogi is really cute. I have no idea where Locke put the statues......
I don't remember exactly what Locke did with them. I remember the deal for the guitar, but that was Charlie's stash. I remember Sawyer had them at one point. And I remember Charlie throwing them in the water. I am guessing he hid them, but don't know where.
Didn't he put them in the hatch station with all the guns?
In S4E3 "The Economist", Naomi and Elsa are both seen wearing bracelets. It was originally suggested that they resembled each other but that has been refuted by the producers. Who gave Naomi the bracelet?
Initial guess is Naomi's sister.
Thanks, DocH! That link was too long to work, so here is a tinyURL version:
http://tinyurl.com/58ky6a
Good answer, and good question L4E. I know there was a lot of talk about bracelets, but I do not remember where Naomi got hers!
(Btw, I picked the Virgin Mary statue question because after having viewed those episodes again, I feel like there was just TOO much importance placed on them for them not to come up again!)
: ) P
Well I am definitely not as intense a fan as some! On that DarkUFO quiz, I got less than half correct! But oddly, I seemed to get questions that had the lower percentages of people getting them correct.
It was fun, though.
: ) P
The actual relation to Naomi is unknown, but I like the sister guess. There bracelet reads "N, I'll always be with you. _ _ "
Thanks DocH, I love trivia games and I definitely find the one here very enjoyable. Buddy tv also has a fun one.
Ah, ha!!! Rattlee my brain, RG. That's right, we don't know who RG is yet. I went with her sister because of the secret code words. :)
What item did Eko take from Yemi's body.
Was it a necklace with a cross on it?
I think you're right, L4E. I think it was the necklace that was pulled from Eko as a boy before he was carted off by the militants who raided his camp. Yemi wore it religiously (pun fully intended).
So now you get to ask one L4E!
: ) P
In S4E4 "Eggtown", Kate "Scooby-Doo's" Hurley to find out the location of Miles. Sawyer than remarks that Hurley can't keep a secret. Who else told Hurley that he can't keep a secret? (HINT): He/She is definitely no longer among the living.
Lost4Ever said: (HINT): He/She is definitely no longer among the living.
Well I guess that rules out Charlie! LOL
I recall someone in the first season saying if you don't want everyone to know, don't tell Hurley, but I do not remember who it is.
: ) P
A Sawyer-centric episode meant LOTS of nicknames:
Episode 13 The Long Con
Doc to Jack
Jacko about Jack
Ana-Lulu about Ana-Lucia
Freckles to Kate
Sheena to Kate
Dimples to Cassidy (flashback)
Baby to Cassidy (flashback)
Tokyo Rose about Sun
Hoss to Locke
Freckles to Kate
Jonny Locke about Locke
Episode 14 One of Them
Rerun to Hurley
Barbar (sic) to Hurley
Hammo to Hurley
: ) P
Hung me on that one. I'll guess Libby.
Okay, L4E, I officially give up! Who else thinks that Hurley is LOST's Gladys Kravitz?
: ) P
Another hint: This character appeared in Season 1 and a mobisode and also provided some badly needed comedic relief.
This character is also a man, although you wouldn't know it by his first name.
I'm still in my early 30's and have no idea who Gladys Kravitz is. Any relation to Lenny?
I also live in the "concrete jungle" and love it. People, no matter how dumb they are sometimes, make the world go round.
It must be Arzt! Leslie Arzt, right? I didn't see the mobisode... unless that is a "Missing Pieces" clip.
Gladys Kravitz was before your time - it is really before MY time, but I watched Bewitched in syndication. She was the nosey neighbor to the Stevens family (Samantha was a witch), who couldn't keep a secret.
Oh dear, that means I have to come up with another question!
I'll think on that and be back shortly!
: ) P
Okay, got one.
Two secondary LOST characters show up in ONE of Sayid's flashbacks, name them. And, for bonus points, because I like that, name who else has had a relationship with those secondary characters.
: ) P
http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Arzt_and_Crafts
Inman and Kate's father?
Wow, guys you are good!
L4E, CORRECT! Your turn again!
DocH, thanks for the Wiki link to Gladys. I love Wiki! And yes, I think the way YOU showed the connections, that is a pretty good analogy! LOL
: ) P
I'm stumped.
Rural isn't for everyone. But I couldn't take the city life anymore. I could see the roof of my while sitting in traffic, but was still 20 minutes from getting home. I'd have to sit through 5 red lights to make a left turn and 4 more to make another turn into my subdivision. It used to take 45 mins. to get to the office from 15 miles away. I am now 32 miles away and it takes only 40 mins. The beauty is the vehicle is moving the entire 40 mins.
TY for the info on Kravitz. Never saw one episode.
Detroit traffic sucks Hammer and so do gas prices. I work up there every so often.
In S4E5 "The Constant", 2004 Daniel gives 2004 Desmond information to tell 1996 Daniel that would make 1996 Daniel believe that 1996 Desmond is actually 2004 Desmond. Confused? So was I for a month at that espisode.
What does Daniel tell Desmond to tell Daniel to prove that he is from the future?
I guess it would be hard to give LOST an Emmy nom. for a lead actor/actress award this season. If so, who could be considered lead ( this season )? I don't see how they could lose for best drama.
I have never been a fan of awards shows, but after browsing the list of Emmy Nominations at their site, It seems like cable TV dominated.
http://tinyurl.com/62h4ba
You said it right L4E. We have very minimal public transportation, so traffic is horrible.
Emerson in a landslide.
I don't remember the exact words, but Des was told to tell young Dan something about Eloise the rat.
Okay what is the name of the Portugese speaking fellow from the listening station that was a "dead ringer" for Jack in horn rimmed glasses?
I think 2004 Daniel tells Desmond to tell 1996 Daniel that Eloise sent him or something. He wants Desmond to say Eloise, but I don't think that Desmond knows it is the mouse.
I haven't seen Damages, but Bill Shatner and John Slattery seem to be kind of playing themselves mostly. If Emerson doesn't take it, there ought to be riots! I can't believe the way the LOST women were snubbed!
: ) P
Oh good, Hammer, you beat me to it, so I don't have to come up with another question.
I have NO FREEKIN CLUE what the answer to yours is!
: ) P
Was that Henrik?
Daniel told Des to set the machine to 2.342 and occilate at 11 hz. IF THAT didn't work tell him about Eloise.
Honestly, the only reason I know this one is because the guy looks so much like Jack. I have been keeping the "twin" thing in mind even though he and Jack are played by two different actors. So I have his named stored, waiting for an easter egg....plus it is a derivative of my first name...which ya'll don't know (though I'm not sure DocH hasn't figured it out. ;)
On a sidenote....HRG, aka Mr. Bennett rules. He somewhat reminds me of Ben.
Nope L4E, it's the other one.
Oops, I shouldn't have asked another one so quick. ;)
Your first name is Matt.
Okay, where did I leave my name?
That should be enough clue, there was only two guys and one is a derivative of Matthew.
So Hammer, do you have a screenshot of this twin guy? What episode was he in? I don't recall this at ALL!
: ) P
http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Mathias
Gives up the name, but I think the "twin" possibility is more interesting than the question.
LOL.
Thanks for the screencap, DocH! He sure DOES look like Foxy! So was he in the episode where two guys in an igloo call Penny?
: ) P
Wow, we are all posting within seconds of each other. Thank you, too, Hammer.
: ) P
Okay, DocH, I think you were the one to name the correct Portuguese guy.
What is your question?
: ) P
PJ, yep that was episode.
L4E, are you as good a slueth as DocH or did forget that I gave up my name in the past?
I know I mistakenly posted on the big island with my first name, as has Circus Mom. I don't remember you doing it Hammer.
It won't be long before I post here with my other Blogger ID and then the cat'll be out of the bag.
*g*
: ) P
Okay then, I'll go out on a limb and guess Patricia, Phyllis, Penelope, Paige, Pamela, Paisley, Peggy, Pearl, Pauline......:)
DocH, sorry to ignore. Yeah that's a cartoon rendition of a hammerhead shark.
BTW, DocH you're up again. ;0)
Wow DocH...you even knew the actor that portrays the character off the top of your head. That is impressive.
As for knowing Hammer's name...I have been a long time lurker of the big blog...but just started posting this year. How long ago did the rest of you start on the big blog?
Boy, I remember exactly when, I know it was during the TLE stuff.
Geez, DocH my little mind is having a hard time following...but I get it. Let's just stick w/your "or" question. :)
Sawyer
May of '06 is the oldest post I could find of myself on the big island.
Patricia, Phyllis, Penelope, Paige, Pamela, Paisley, Peggy, Pearl, Pauline
You forgot Phoebe, Pepper, Piper, Patrice, Pandora, Parminder, Patience, Portia, Paris, Parvati, Patsy, Petrina, Persephone, Philipa, Pia, Polly, Pollyanna, Priscilla, Pressley, Posy, Poppy, and Prudence.
And no, still none of those! *G*
I don't think asking about Hammer's avatar counts as a LOST trivia question, DocH!
As for the straight to video movie, I have no idea! I saw a few minutes of "Whisper" with Josh Holloway, but not enough of it to see any Heroes people.
And Circus Mom, I posted on the big island the first day I found it, near the beginning of season 4 I think. I believe my first post was believing that Naomi was related to Nadia. So I guess I am a relative newbie over there!
: ) P
Okay, now I'm confused. I thought L4E asked how long we've been on the big island. Circus Mom isn't L4E, is he/she? LOL. JK.
Okay, now I'm confused. I thought L4E asked how long we've been on the big island. Circus Mom isn't L4E, is he/she? LOL. JK.
Yes, you are right. It was L4E not CM that asked! I don't THINK they are the same person, but who the heck knows! LOL
: ) P
I cant be CircusMom. I am like Kramer...afraid of clowns.
Is it Miles and my favorite actress named Claire ( Heoroes ) DocH? Shanghai Kiss
I cheated on this one. IMDB.com. Didn't think it really counted as LOST trivia
In keeping with my SEASON 4 theme, in E6 "The Other Woman" ( IMO the weakest Epi of the Season ), Jack and Juliet share a kiss. This is not their first kiss. What episode was their first kiss?
Hammer, did you call me a he/she? JK, but I assure you, I am not a hermaphrodite.
ESPN is in Detroit today for Titletown, USA. Yet another cheesy promotion from ESPN.
It's nice to be included in the conversation even when I am hours behind on the West coast and stuck in meetings.
Did I really slip and use my real name at some point?
I think I joined the big island at the begining of Season 4.
Yes, Circus Mom, you did! A LONG time ago, I think. I remember seeing it in the archives when I was searching for something. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me! *bg*
Okay, I think Jack and Juliet kissed towards the end of season three when they were on their way to the radio tower. If I remember, it was a pretty pathetic kiss. Then again, the one they had in The Other Woman was without much chemistry. I think it is Foxy's fault actually, because the first big kiss that Jack and Kate shared in season two was fairly dull too, and I know Evie can kiss (I mean, she can kiss with chemistry with other actors).
*bg*
Am I right? About Juliet and Jack's first kiss, I mean.
: ) P
Right on PJ. The answer is Through the Looking Glass or the Season 3 Finale would have been acceptable also.
It's been a fun day here on the little island.:)
Oh gees, that means I have to come up with another question! Let's see...
Who is on the helicopter the FIRST time it leaves the island?
: ) P
Well DocH, you mentioned where Sayid, Desmond and Frank were sitting, but you are missing someone!
(You sort of got it, so I am just being tough because it was a bit easier than more recent questions.)
: ) P
I thought Naomi's helicopter crashed before it got to the island? That she bailed before it crashed and was found hanging from her parachute, in a tree? Maybe I am mistaken, but that's the way I remember it.
: ) P
Kudos to you, DocH. Yeah, I think Naomi counts as being on the helicopter!
I don't remember the grid search thing at all! Shows what a great memory I used to have! LOL
Your turn!
: ) P
Patricia, Phyllis, Penelope, Paige, Pamela, Paisley, Peggy, Pearl, Pauline
You forgot Phoebe, Pepper, Piper, Patrice, Pandora, Parminder, Patience, Portia, Paris, Parvati, Patsy, Petrina, Persephone, Philipa, Pia, Polly, Pollyanna, Priscilla, Pressley, Posy, Poppy, and Prudence.
And no, still none of those! *G*
Could it be Rumplestiltskin? Or maybe......Teresa?
Okay, Miss Kim, I get the Rumplestiltskin reference, but I don't understand the Teresa reference. Please explain?
: ) P
Okay, DocH, I remember Mikhail speaking Russian (I am pretty sure it was Russian) and English. But... I am guessing that since you asked that, it has to be more than two.
Anyone?
: ) P
Sawyers nicknames for Episode 16 The Whole Truth
Sunshine to Sun
Sweetheart to Sun
Daddio to Jin
Papasan to Jin
Bernie to Bernard
Suzie to Bernard
: ) P
Circus Dork and I guess Phi or Princess.
hey how about prunella
wow i just read the first few comments and a few had repeats or misspells my mom misspelled owles
P: I read your first posts on the Big Island. Prior to you posting someone named Teresa posted. Teresa "disappeared" after PJSanders appeared. I thought maybe you were "Teresa" and then started using PJSanders...similar writing style, though not "English Teacher" perfect! There was a Pippy that posted.......
Mikhail understood Naomi when she was speaking Portuguese....or maybe it was Italian....I say English, Russian, and "Naomi" for languages.
DocH said: What is it with Keamy, Mikhail and Naomi that they are so willing to die? Are they fanatical/brainwashed? Or is what they are fighting for just SO important?
Good point, DocH. Though I am not sure I agree that they were all "willing" to die. Keamy, I think was willing to do almost anything for a buck, but I also believe he had a bit of an invincible complex - like teenagers who think they're immortal!
Mikhail DIDN'T die when he should have - several times as I recall - maybe he WAS invincible (to a point ).
Naomi, well, I am not sure she expected to die. *I* sure didn't see the knife coming for her! LOL. By the time she talked to the freighter, I think she had resigned herself, more than was willing, to die.
JMO.
So, Miss Kim, I think we can count your question as correct enough! Your turn for another question!
: ) P
(who is neither Phi, Princess, Prunella, Pippy or Teresa)
What is one thing that occured to make us think that Aaron may posess "psychic" abilities like Walt?
Panigiota? It's Greek, and not on the P-names list. Paula? Paula Jean.....ok--I'm off and running--taking my daughter and my parents to see Mamma Mia.
I haven't a CLUE about Aaron, but I am eager to find out! Good question, Miss Kim.
: ) P
(not Panigiota, nor Paula)
Lots of good Sawyer nicknames!
Episode 17 Lockdown
Muttonchops to Hurley
Amarillo Slim to Jack
Doc to Jack
Cool Hand to Jack
Mongo to Hurley
Episode 18 Dave

Babynapper to Charlie
Moonbeam to Libby
Deepdish to Hurley
Freckles to Kate
: ) P
Aaron started crying when Charlie died (Sorry PJ) even though he was miles away in the jungle.
And owles was a typo, not bad spelling.
Of course, I may just be assuming it starts with the letter P. Hmmmmmm. Y'all know what happened the last time I assumed things w/ you, PJSander. Until I hear otherwise, I'll go w/ p names. Paloma. Penny. Parker. Paxton. Perry. Peyton. Pistols. Preeth.
Good work Circus Mom. You're up.
Miss Kim said: Of course, I may just be assuming it starts with the letter P. Hmmmmmm. Y'all know what happened the last time I assumed things w/ you, PJSander. Until I hear otherwise, I'll go w/ p names. Paloma. Penny. Parker. Paxton. Perry. Peyton. Pistols. Preeth.
My first name indeed starts with the letter P. You are safe to assume that. And those are all very pretty P names (okay, not QUITE all! Pistols? Preeth?), but none are mine! *G*
: ) P
I like trying to figure this out....Paulette? Paula and Pauline have been thrown out there....but not Paulette. Petula. Pashma.
PETRA. Yes.
Great minds do think alike. I just came on line to ask if PJ's name actually started with a P.
OK, my question.
What was the one thing that would calm Aaron and get him to stop crying in his early days.
Sawyer's voice?
Your'e up Miss Kim.
DING DING DING DING DING!
Miss Kim got the question about calming Aaron AND my name. How were you so sure, Miss Kim? And how did you know it was Greek?
Anyway, bonus points for you (except, as in the words of Drew Carey, the points don't matter!).
: ) P
How many Dharma stations are ther? (That we know of!) Try and list them.......(I couldn't do it. Lostpedia's helping w/ this one.)
Alrighty....as far as "guessing" your name, PJ....it ended up not being a guess at all. I stopped guessing and went looking. I looked a little bit before but misunderstood "how" you used your real name. I thought that you meant you used a different user ID...that's where I came up w/ the Teresa thing. I realized it must have been an oversight at one point when you "signed" your post....thus I was able to find it on the Big Island. I had no idea it was going to be a Greek name. I only mentioned that "Pangiaota" was a Greek name because I wasn't sure most people would recognize it as being a name at all! (Kind of like Pistol--which was a user ID on the Big Island...though I don't think that really is a name!!!) I had determined that your name was probably not mainstream from the guesses that had already been offered. I threw a Greek name in there as a stab in the dark. Anyhow, Yiá sou,Petra. Hérome yia tin gnorimía....though you're always going to PJ in my mind.
I remember something about six DHARMA stations and I do so because I was wondering, was it a coincidence that there are six O6 members, and six "numbers"?
BUT, since the DHARMA logo is an octagon, I am willing to be there are eight. I wish I had a photographic memory and could remember the glowing map on the blast doors of the hatch.
Name them, hmmm.
Pearl
Swan
Looking Glass
Orchid
Hydra
Where the tailies were (don't remember what it was called)
There was also the place where the gassing chamber things were - where Charlotte and Daniel were going. I know I kept thinking it was the temple. The Tempest!
Well that is seven. So either theory (six or eight) is messed up with that. I must be forgetting one. Or maybe I am wrong about the numbers!
Well I gave it a good shot anyway!
: ) P
Miss Kim said: Anyhow, Yiá sou,Petra. Hérome yia tin gnorimía.
eh?
I tried an online translator. It didn't recognize it as Spanish, Italian, or Greek. Please, to translate, por favor, s'il vous plait?
LOL
: ) P
Speaking of the DHARMA logo, has anyone noticed its similarity to the Korean flag?
http://tinyurl.com/25oftg
I don't know its significance yet, but surely Sun and Jin should have recognized it - even if only on the DHARMA food drop boxes!
: ) P
It's the "english" version of Greek......here's the greek version to the best of my ability. (I do much better with Greek when it is not written in Greek!!! LOL.) Γειά σου. Είμαι ευτυχής να σας ξέρω.
Try this: Don't use a translator....google:
Hérome yia tin gnorimía
Actually, this would be a better Greek version: Γειά σου. Χαίρομαι γιὰ τὴν γνωριμία.
I have noticed the similarities, and I found this interesting. http://lostpedia.com/wiki/I-ching
Scroll all the way to the bottom after each logo is examined and it discusses the Logos' origins.
Miss Kim said: Γειά σου. Χαίρομαι γιὰ τὴν γνωριμία
I am happy to "meet" you as well, Miss Kim!
That page of DHARMA logos is cool. I realize there is SO much I have yet to discover on LOSTpedia. I will spend some time looking at the logo page soon.
: ) P
I seem tied to my computer today, which is unusual for me for the most part. Since we're off season and are allowed to discuss non-LOST things, I'll share something interesting that's been holding my attention for about a week now. Actually, in some abstract way, it kinda, sorta, but not really, could be somthing that happens on LOST!!!
My SO is a Marine Biologist. He's somewhere in the Aleutian Island chain right now doing his thing. Last Saturday, without warning, a 3,500-foot volcano, called the Okmok Caldera, located on Omnak Island, about 60 miles west of Dutch Harbor erupted.
It is 6 miles across and contains more than a dozen cones. It is continuing to erupt, with ash still shooting up to 6 1/2 miles in the air. The plume is mostly steam and volcanic gas, and doesn't have a lot of ash, which is good for the people and the aircraft in the area. Most of Alaska's volcanoes are located along the 1,550-mile-long Aleutian Arc, which extends westward to Kamchatka and forms the northern portion of the Pacific "ring of fire". Since 1760 27 Alaskan volcanoes have had more than 230 confirmed eruptions. This averages to nearly one eruption per year. If we add in those volcanoes and eruptions that are suspected but unconfirmed (and often, unconfirmable), then we have 54 volcanoes with about 424 possible eruptions, yielding an average of 1.7 eruptions per year.
However, these figures do not consider the large discrepancy in observation and reporting of Alaskan eruptions. For the past 40 years - a period in which we have fairly good records -- Alaska has averaged more than two eruptions per year. The frequency of reports of eruptions is higher now than in the past, and has been increasing during the twentieth century. Alaska's volcanoes are potentially hazardous to passenger and freight aircraft as jet engines sometimes fail after ingesting volcanic ash. From what he (SO) has told me, the air quality is definately being affected in the Dutch Harbor area. So.....in conclusion... maybe 813's demise had nothing to do with electromagnetic forces and button pushing. Perhaps next season will be called the "Zombie/Volcano" season....
In addition to "Pearl, Swan, Looking Glass, Orchid, Hydra"...
I'd add 'The Flame' and 'The Staff' and 'The Arrow' as stations.
How about the 'The Barracks'... Dharma lived there and it had the secret chamber where Ben went to summon Smokey.
DocH: so far you've got 8 out of 9stations. Nice.
The eight are: Pearl, Swan, Looking Glass, Orchid, Hydra, Flame, Staff, and Arrow.
Good job, DocH - you're up!

Actually.....doc got 8 out of 9.....1 more left to guess.....but by all means--doc's a lot closer thatn I would have gotten!
Sorry, Miss Kim, I misunderstood. DocH got 8 and then you listed 8. Then I see you said 8 out of 9. So what is the 9th?
Anyway, DocH, since you were closest, will you ask one please?
: ) P
The Tempest is the 9th.
There is a 10th station. The Temple. It was seen (poorly) on the map that Ben gave to Alex when fleeing the Barracks.
Fertility question. When Roger and Emily were hiking and Ben was born - How many months pregnant was she when she gave birth and died?
I think Emily Linus was seven months along (and Emily Locke was six, as I recall) - but it is really a guess.
I just finished watching ? and cannot BELIEVE how much stuff I missed the first time around watching these episodes! All this stuff that people have mentioned on the big island - that I took note of - and now I am SEEING it, ostensibly for the "first" time!
It is really kind of cool.
: ) P
Correct - 7 months when she had Ben. Your turn
Okay, I doubt this will be relevant in the grand scheme of things, but Christian and Ana-Lucia used fake names when they were "working" together. What were those names?
: ) P
Hmmmmmm. Sarah and ___________.
Tom?
Good-O, Miss Kim.
You're up!

==== Obscure Reference Alert ====
One of James most prophetic names?
Jack approaches Sawyer and Kate on the beach, and Sawyer refers to him as "Dr. Giggles".
"Dr. Giggles" is a B horror movie made in 1992 which is centered on a psychopathic son who escapes from a mental institution to exact revenge on the town where his mass murdering doctor father was captured.
• Seems like Christian has been captured by the island.
• With all of Christians' drinking and remorse, and operating room & fertility mass murdering.
• Jacks' a bit psychotic lately.
• Jack has been spending some time in the mental institutes lately, visiting mostly.
Interesting use of fake names. Christian was "Tom", Claires boyfirend and Aarons father. Ana Lucia was Sarah, Jacks x wife, who later showed up pregnant when she came to see hom in the hospital.
What was the timeline of when Sarah left Jack? Could the baby be his? It's a long shot.
What was the name of the woman who "read" Jack and put a tatoo on him?

ESPN is in Detroit today for Titletown, USA. Yet another cheesy promotion from ESPN.

Yes, but it was a joke 'cause of the confusion. :)
Ya'll have been busy. Had another tourney for my boy. Took 2nd. One more tourney this weekend coming up, then ball is done!!!
I remember the actress who played her ( Bai Ling ), but I can't remember her name. Not really familiar with Thai names.
I don't remember her name either, but I wonder if they are ever going to explain why her friend beat him for getting the tattoo?
I don't have the SLIGHTEST idea of the answer, Miss Kim! In fact, I don't remember much at all about that episode except that I didn't really like it!
: ) P!
I didn't really care for the episode either....however, like most LOST episodes, there had to be some kind of substance in it. The tatoo lady's name is Achara. From Lostpedia: In Hinduism Achara and Dharma are synonymous and mean "the regulation of daily life." Indeed Achara is often referred to as the Supreme Dharma.
"The mark of Dharma is Achara or good conduct. Achara is the mark of the good. From Achara is Dharma born. Dharma enhances life. Man attains prosperity and fame, here and hereafter, through the practice of Dharma". The tatoo Jack has (supposedly) translates into: He walks amongst us but is not one of us". In "Stranger in a strange Land", why did Achara's brother attack Jack, and why was marking him "breaking the rules"? Incidently, this is the same episode that Ben has commuted Juliet's sentence as 'the rules don't apply', but also ordered her to be "marked". Interesting......
Well thank you,Miss Kim, for the info about the episode! But since you stumped us, I think you get to ask another question!
: ) P
Alrighty. What was written on Eko's stick and how was it interpreted by Locke? (It led to the discovery of the Flame Station by Locke, Kate, and Sayid)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh!
I know that one!
"Lift up your eyes and look north!"
As for Locke's interpretation, I think he took it literally and followed a northward path?
: ) P
Oh, I guess that means I have to ask one, eh?
Okay, who said this line:
"Men reject their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and honor those whom they have slain.... So what's the difference between a martyr and a prophet?"
: ) P
It sounds like we are running out of trivia questions and moving on to obscure quotes. I have no idea who said that, maybe Yemi or Ekko.
L4E said: It sounds like we are running out of trivia questions and moving on to obscure quotes.
Actually, I don't really think it is all that obscure. I believe it speaks to the underlying question that seems to be important: who is good/evil, and who decides it?
It was not Eko or Yemi, though I understand the reason you'd think so. If it helps, the first sentence was a quote from a book.
However, in the interest of keeping it "trivial" *bg* I will ask another question, as well.
Who are the first characters to *ahem* copulate on the island? (Do not include Sun and Jin who *must* have, since Sun is pregnant, but we didn't see anything to show they did.)
On a side note, I realize that not including Walt, none of our central characters HAVE children when they crash. (Well, Sawyer has Clementine, but he isn't central to her life.) None of the characters are worried about their "kids back home." I wonder if that was a conscious decision, and it has significance, or just a coincidence.
: ) P
Sawyer and Ana Lucia.
Was the quote from Locke?
You are right with Sawyer and Ana-Lucia, Circus Mom... and CLOSE with Locke!
But it is your turn for a trivia question!
: ) P
I didn't mean to offend PJ. It is an obscure quote though, but not irrelevant as I think you meant. Can you give us a hint as too which season it was uttered? My next guess would be Ben.
L4E said: I didn't mean to offend PJ.
Oh no worries, I wasn't offended! I realize now that it WAS obscure, but at the time I wrote the question, it wasn't... I had just seen it on DVD! LOL
You are right, it was Ben. The first line was quoting the Dostoyevsky book (The Brothers Karamazov) that Locke had given him. Season 2, Episode 16, The Whole Truth.
Thanks!
: ) P
Okay, so I've often doubted things on LOSTpedia, but now I have definitively found an error.
We watched S2E23, the finale, Live Together, Die Alone tonight. I went to LOSTpedia to look up Desmond, to see if I could find out WHY he was dishonorably discharged. I could not, so I suppose that information is still unknown.
Anyway, the timeline they have there for Desmond's pre-island life is a bit off. They talk about him meeting Penny sometime in 1995. Then they say that he and Penny dated for two years without Charles knowing.
But that would not make sense with the 12/24/96 visit on Christmas Eve to get Penny's phone number so he could call her on 12/24/2004.
Not that big a deal, but I am glad to know it isn't perfect! LOL

In what city did Rose and BErnard meet?
Just a guess...New York...but I think that's where she grew up.
I dont recall it ever being stated in what city they met, but I do remember the proposal of marriage was in in Niagra Falls.
He helped her get her car out of the snow...in a wintery city. :)
Hammer, You got it. The Bronx, New York.

Okay.
Okay. :)
Bernard found a radio in the Arrow station. Who did he make contact with when he used it?
Wild guess. Was it Patchy?
I think I know! It was Boone who was using the radio from the drug plane, right?
: ) P
Give the girl a prize...Boone it was.
Oh gees, coming up with the questions is much harder than answering them! LOL
Behind which book did Desmond keep the Fail Safe Key?
: ) P
Wasn't it the same book he wa saving to read...Our Mutual Friend by Dickens?
Well, okay L4E, you are sort of right... Desmond kept the fail safe key *IN* that book after Inman left. I guess it was Inman who stored the key behind a different book.
It was the same place that I think the orientation video was stored.
But since you are really right (since I didn't quite ask the question I meant to), why don't you ask a question while others perhaps ponder my "real" question! LOL
: ) P
Turn of the screw?
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!
WTG L4E.
Your turn again!
