More book shizz...

Frank Lapidus: confirms he got the plane back to civilization.

Geronimo Jackson: A member named Floyd may have left the band to join the DI.

Ilana Verdansky: Jacob touched her face to heal her burns (maybe they showed this… I don’t remember)

The Incident:

- The bomb WAS detonated.
- Chang’s arm was later amputated

The Island: They list translations of the scripts on the island’s cork:
- “Embrace that which the Balance hath weighed, let a path be made for the Osiris in the Great Valley, and let the Osiris have light to guide him on his way.”
- “He hath reconciled the Two Fighters (Horus and Set), the guardians of life.”
- “Break the immovable yoke that we may sleep”
- “That silence may reign and we may sleep”

Notes continues...

D -

Daniel Faraday: Born off island in Essex, MA. Hawking gave him the surname Faraday whose "path" she wanted him to follow closely. It also mentions that Daniel did a ton of research on the Dharma Initiative... doesn't say why though (convenient answer to a question that always bugged me... why'd he know so much about DI even before he went to the island... unless he conscious skipped... and ... nevermind)

Danielle Rouseau: Candidate #20. There's an interesting note about her arriving after the purge. From my crummy math and Ben's entry... the purge must have JUUUUST happened when she and her crew landed.

Danny Picket: mentioned he was once considered for Jacob's candidacy.

E -

Eko: The smoke monster singled him out because he recognized him as an on island threat and wanted to remove him.

Eloise Hawking: She gave Daniel the name Faraday as an homage and a tool to keep Widmore from finding him. She left the island at 41 years old in 1978 to give birth to Daniel. She took the job at the ring store to ensure she'd run into Desmond and keep him on the correct path (not sure how she knew he'd be there... whatever)

Ethan Rom: Ethan and his mother returned to the island after the evacuation due to their relationship with Horace Goodspeed. Ethan wanted to join the Others and Widmore would allow it if he helped carry out the purge. (Guess that mean Ethan helped kill his folks... yikes.)

More notes...

Update...

Forgot a B.

Boone Carlyle: Confirms he was candidate #226

Ok... just finished C

C -

Charles Widmore: Eloise lef the island to safely have their baby (Faraday). The Purge was Widmore's call after they didn't follow the rules of the truce.

Charlotte Lewis: Cadidate #140

Christian Shephard: Confirms that it was the Man in Black as Christian who told Vincent to go wake up Jack after the crash. (This scene was depicted in a web short I believe... can't remember what seasons it was between)

Cindy Chandler: Cindy, Zach and Emma survived the mortar attack and escaped into the jungle. Also says along with Rose and Bernard, joined under Hurley's guard. (dissapointingly, it didn't really say any special converting method to joining the others. They explained their cause and she joined up basically)

More Lost Stuff!!!

I bought the Lost Encyclopedia (of course I did). It's official and shit, so it gives a few notes here and there that weren't necessarily made clear on the show (or weren't at all).

Here's some stuff I found interesting. I'll keep updating... really for my own records. But if anyone else wants to read and comment, boy that'd be swell.


Epilogue: I also read the "epilogue" of the book, it goes over the major characters in the sideways world, with some pictures, a few quotes and what their sideways journey was all about. A few interesting notes:

Sayid: Why Shannon woke him up... the love with Shannon allowed him to be the man he wanted to be. (Posters note, haha: It makes sense to me. Sayid had so much baggage and memories of the terrible life he used to lead and Nadia (not her fault but...) was a constant reminder of that. The relationship he formed with Shannon wasn't based on anything but his character)

Jack: I posted anout this one before, but the entry discusses David a little bit, and just that his upbringing was VERY similar to Jack's. (makes me think David was just a younger version of Jack so he coudl work out his father issues.)

A -

Ajira Flight 316: confirms that it was Widmore's goons that murdered the remaining passengers left on Hydra island.

Annie: Annie left the island during the women and children evacutation.

Ash: The ash circle around the cabin was broken at an undisclosed time, and it WAS used by Jacob, but after the circle was broken, the Man in Black began to use it. Ash was also used in the Sayid/Dogen tests.

B -

Ben: The "rules" Ben spoke to Widmore about in his London penthouse were to never harm each other or their families.

Blast Door Map: There's really a ton of little things here but here are a few:
The ? on the map was due to Radzinksy (R) not knowing who occupied the station.
R did not know what was going on at the Orchid
After the Purge R survived and marked the stations he could get to with the quarantine sign, and took refuge in the Swan.
The CVs that are all over the map refer to a Cerebrus Vent the name DI used for the smoke monster.

Bram: again mentions that they went to the Cabin to find Jacob but realized MiB had been using it so they burned it.

Bad News

TV season is starting and I jsut won't have time to go through the entire 6 seasons of Lost. As a consolation to the 3 people (more like 1... me) who still read this, I just re-watched the final season and finished the finale.

Everything that was awesome is still awesome. But over some time, here's a quick list of things that kind of bugged me:

- David Shephard. What happens to him? kind of sad actually. Will his parents just be gone now? What the hell is he supposed to do? Maybe that event (missing parents) leads him to the actual people that mattered in his life... or maybe he goes Kurt Russell/Vanilla Sky. Bummer.

- Miles. As a fan, I would have liked to see him in the church. But I'm ok with the idea that he lived a full happy life after the island and others were more important to him.

- Helen. Shouldn't she have been in there sitting with Locke? And if not her, Boone. He felt out of place sitting in the back with Sawyer and Juliet.

- Why can Jin speak perfect English in the sideways after waking up? Not really a complaint, just kind of funny.

- I think Boone and Shannon probably should have "triggered" each other... but they didn't have another way to get Sayid to wake up. It could have been Nadia but they used her too much and maybe... maaaaaybe they didn't plan ahead? No way.

- Still bums me out that Mikhail/Omar/Keamy are able to be killed. This is they're afterlife too. Maybe they're rotten shits and go to hell? Bummer.

- Hurley never said goodbye to anyone on the island. Still bugs me... but the epilogue takes care of that. I'm sure he got to see them all again.

- The plane didn't have to leave. Jack fixed it. But they didn't know that. Kind of a bummer. They wanted to leave anyway I guess.

Anyway, still the best ep of television ever.


So that's it for Lost right now. I'll watch em all again at some point. Hopefully soon. Might still try and update this site with other crappy tv stuff.

See ya!
