More Book stuff

Shannon Rutherford:

- Candidate #31.

- Also said it was never confirmed whether her visions of Walt were really warnings from Walt or some Smoke Monster trick. (items like this bug me, cuz they make the rest of the book seem flawed... Walt wasn't dead, so how coudl Smokey show up as him?)

The Sickness:

- One of the sicknesses was caused by the Smoke Monster. He needed a wound or entry point to enter the body and darken their spirit.

- Smoke Monster actually killed Montand and then posed as him to lure the other French team members down into the hole.

- Dogen never had complete knowledge of the Sickness (like us!!!)

- Before the Incident in 1977 pregnant women could safely give birth.

- Kelvin Inman was aware of the Purge.

The Smoke Monster:

- The Man in Black's "spirit became fused with the all-powerful force that lay hidden inside the heart's island".

38 pages left...

Quick one...

In Sawyer's section it mentions that he and Kate had a tight bond that grew into a great friendship even after they made it off the island. So that's nice.

Almost done...

Magnus Hanso: Jacob was the person who commissioned the expedition. Hanso told his first mate as much. So he brought that boat to the island.

Man in Black: He could appear at two places at once (Isabella/Richard scene).

Medusa Spider: The Man in Black appeared as the Medusa spider and but Nikki in that form.

Mother: She killed the Man in Black’s campmates at night. It does not make any mention of her being a “smoke monster”.

Nadine: The team crashed in 1988.

Nikki and Paulo: Confirmed above. A REAL medusa spider bit Paulo, but it was the Smoke Monster that got Nikki.

Oceanic Flight 815:
- Survivors: Janelle Granger kept a diary (this was online I believe, I didn’t know this was her name though)
- Emma: Along with Rose, Bernard, Zach and Cindy, she joined Hurley.

The Others: Richard was impervious to the smoke monster’s attacks.

The Pearl: SR (written on the journal notepads) was Subject Radzinksy, and SI was Subject Inman. The mark in the ground above the hatch was a circle and not a question mark. The ? on the blast door map just meant Radzinsky didn’t know who was in there.

Penelopes Widmore Hume: Desmond made it off the island back to her and Charlie.

Pierre Chang: killed during the Purge.

The Purge: Radzinksy survived the Purge because he was stationed in the Swan hatch, he somehow figured out what happened with the gas, and subsequently labeled the Arrow and The Swan as Quarantined.

Ryan Price: Candidate #14

I think I totally missed the point of the finale... "Let go, move on"... cuz I've done neither of those. TV sucks now. You realize Lost would have started season 7 by now right? Ya know if there was a season 7...

Anyway, here's some more stuff I found interesting from the book:

Kate Austen:
- Candidate #51
- Says 1977 as her birthdate, but a picture of her passport says 1979.

The Lamp Post:
- The first station built by the DI.
- Only off island station.
- Built it around an electromagnetic pocket in LA.
- After Hawking left the island to give birth to Daniel, she took over the Lamp Post (doesn’t say how), and she kept it from Widmore because they weren’t on good terms anymore.

Lighthouse:
- Just some numbers I thought were interesting:
- 14 Pryce
- 20 Rousseau
- 101 Faraday
- 102 Montand
- 104 Lewis
- There were just a few from a couple of screenshots.

John Locke:
- Locke and Walt were both special and “attuned” to the island
- Locke DID see the smoke monster early in season 1 (don’t remember the exact episode, but it’s when they went on the boar hunt and Michael got hurt, right?). He thought the smoke monster’s flashes to pull his memories were beautiful.

Looms:
- Jacob was the one who left a piece of his tapestry in the cabin so Ilana and crew could find him.
- Some quotes translated from the tapestrys: “May the gods grant thee all that thy heart desires” and “…and may the gods grant thee happiness” both from the Odyssey by Homer. “Only the dead have seen the end of war”, by Unkown. Also, on the red tapestry, three from the Iliad by Homer: “Now by evil war thy heart’s desire”, “And the earth flowed with blood”, and “And trhe black cloud of death enfolded him”.

Jacob -

Mentions that Pickett was wrong about Jacob's list. He was wrong abotu a lot of things.

One part of Jacob's tapestry was a quote from "The Odyssey": "And may the Gods grant thee happiness"

When we first saw the Cabin, Jacob was no longer using it.The Man in Black put on the display for ben and Locke and made it so Locke could only hear him say "Help Me"

Jin-Soo Kwon -

Listed as Candidate #42 (but so was Sun... so....)

They do have a paragraph on Ji Yeon. Seemed like folks thought it was passed over. Probably deserved more, but she is represented.

Juliet Burke -

Listed as Candidate # 58

She was branded with the fleur-de-lis or lily flower. In France during the 17th century, criminals earned this brand for treasonous acts. (maybe everyone else knew this, but I didn't).

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.)
