 The Numbers
     
The Numbers
ظهر لأول مرة في تم حله في
"Numbers" "Lighthouse"
  • What do the Numbers mean?
    • Each number corresponds to the degree Jacob must turn his wheel to view candidates in the lighthouse. Each number was the degree of the remaining 6 candidates for his replacement. They were a sort of filing system, as seen in his cave. ("The Substitute") ("Lighthouse")
  • Why did the Numbers appear on the Swan hatch?
    • They were the station's serial number for the hatch lid. ("Some Like It Hoth")
  • Why did the Numbers reappear regularly both on and off the Island?
    • The Numbers also represent the factors of the core values of the Valenzetti Equation, which predicts the date of the destruction of mankind. These Numbers correspond somehow to various human and environmental factors, likely meaning that they are somehow embedded in the structure of the universe. This is also likely why the Numbers appeared to be cursed. The purpose of the DHARMA Initiative was to alter these values in order to stave off the destruction of mankind. The values were broadcast from the radio tower, with the intent of using the broadcast to determine when DHARMA had succeeded in changed them. ("The Lost Experience")

    • Because the Hatch occupant, Desmond Hume turned on the light after hearing a noise from outside. ("Live Together, Die Alone")
  • Why was the inside of the hatch door labelled "quarantine"?
    • The occupants of the Swan were under the impression that they had to wear a hazmat suit in order to leave the station, thus the quarantine was likely a way to keep them inside the Swan to ensure that the button would be pushed. This quarantine is likely how Radzinsky and Kelvin were able to survive the purge. ("Live Together, Die Alone")

"Deus Ex Machina" "The 23rd Psalm"
  • Who were the people aboard the Beechcraft?

    • Because Yemi, the corpse found by Boone on the plane was an actual Catholic priest, whose help the drug smugglers (Eko, Olu and Goldie) needed as only foreign and missionary planes were allowed to take off from Nigeria. He helped them, after they threated to burn down his church. ("The 23rd Psalm")

    • They used photos and information previously gathered by the U.S. Army who visited the Island in the 50's. The Island was found when a "clever fellow" constructed the Lamp Post station in which a Foucault pendulum revealed where the Island was most likely to be at a certain point. ("316")
  • Why were there no signs of DHARMA personnel on the Island in 2004?
    • Because they were almost all killed by the Hostiles in the Purge, after they violated the Truce between them and the Others over and over again by overstaying the 15 years that Alpert had allowed them to stay on the Island, by the extensive drilling at the Orchid and the Swan and by the location of the Swan, which was in the Others' territory. ("Enter 77") ("The Man Behind the Curtain") ("LaFleur")
  • How did DHARMA travel to and from the Island?
    • Via submarine. ("The Man Behind the Curtain)" ("LaFleur")
  • What was the purpose of the DHARMA Initiative?

 Pregnancy issues
Pregnancies
Introduced Solved
"Not in Portland" "LaFleur"
  • What are the pregnancy issues experienced on the Island?
    • Women who get pregnant on the Island are not able to bear their children to term. Sometime before the third trimester, the women experience a serious miscarriage which results in the deaths of both the child and the mother. Women who conceive off Island, such as Claire seem to be able to give birth without issue. Jacob and his brother were also born on the Island thousands of years earlier. In addition, women such as Sun who conceive on island, but leave before their third trimester, seem to escape miscarriage and death. ("Do No Harm") ("Not In Portland") ("D.O.C.") ("Ji Yeon")
  • Were women ever able to both conceive and give birth on the Island?
    • Yes. As late as the 1970s, women were able to carry a child to term on the Island, as seen by Amy's delivery of Ethan. This timeline hints that the Incident may have caused this. ("LaFleur") ("Across the Sea")
  • What does the Island do to the reproductive systems of its inhabitants?
    • Something on the Island causes the uteruses of women on the Island to age and deteriorate rapidly. Men, on the other hand, experience a five-fold increase in their sperm counts while on the Island, possibly due to the healing properties of the Island. ("Not in Portland") ("D.O.C.")

Unanswered questions

  • What caused women to be unable to bear children on the island, when conception had taken place there?
 Moving the Island
     
Frozen wheel
Introduced Solved
"Cabin Fever" "316"
 Frozen wheel
     
Frozen wheel
Introduced Solved
"There's No Place Like Home, Parts 2 & 3" "Across the Sea"
  • What was the wheel's purpose?
    • Turning the wheel manipulated the Source's electromagnetic power and allowed the person (or animal) who turned to travel through space and time, and when moved from its axis to make the Island skip through time. ("There's No Place Like Home, Parts 2 & 3") ("Because You Left") ("This Place Is Death") ("LaFleur") ("Across the Sea")
  • Why did DHARMA build the Orchid on top of it?
    • They discovered the Wheel while digging to the Source. Since Dr. Chang stated that they did initially plan to use the electromagnetic energy to time travel, they most likely studied the wheel to determine how to use the energy to accomplish it. ("Because You Left")
  • How was the wheel accessed and installed as it predated the DHARMA station?
    • Through the well, who were built by the Man in Black and the Romans when first discovering the Island's electromagnetic properties. ("This Place Is Death") ("Across the Sea")
  • Who built and installed the wheel?
    • The Man in Black built the original wheel, and even though it got buried before he can install it, it is most likely he built another one in another well, or spent many of his years on the Island digging that well out again. ("Across the Sea")

 The Well
     
The Well
Introduced Solved
"This Place Is Death" "Across the Sea"
  • Who dug the wells?
    • The Man in Black and Claudia's people. ("Across the Sea")
  • Why were the wells dug?
    • They were dug because the Man in Black wanted to reach the Source and use it as a way to escape the Island. They were dug on top of energy pockets where the Man in Black and his friends found that metal behaved strangely. ("The Last Recruit") ("Across the Sea")
 The Source
     
The Source
Introduced Solved
"Across the Sea" "The End"
  • What is the Source?
    • The Source is the electromagnetic core of the island. The electromagnetism found deep within the island originates here and radiates out to other parts of the island, so therefore it exists here in its most powerful form. ("The End")
  • Why must it be protected?
    • The Source must be protected because if the energy is released, it could cause a global catastrophe. Similar to the Swan Incident, the electromagnetic expulsion caused the island to shake, but much more severely. Cliffs began to split in half and there were landslides and rockfalls. If it had escalated, the implications could have been disastrous. ("The End")

"Two for the Road" "Across the Sea"
  • What was the name of "Him", the man Ben said was the Others' leader?
    • It was Jacob. ("I Do")
  • Who was Jacob?
    • Jacob was the son of Claudia, a Roman woman who crashed on the Island around two millennia prior to the crash of Oceanic 815, who, along with his brother the Man in Black were raised by the previous protector of the Island, known as Mother, after she killed Claudia. ("Across the Sea") He would eventually become the next protector of the Island, a job he would hold for about 2000 years, until passing it on to Jack, one of his 360 candidates. ("Across the Sea") ("What They Died For")
  • Where was Jacob living, as he was never seen with the Others?
    • He lived beneath the Statue, communicating with the Others through an intermediary, Richard Alpert.

    • They were bestowed upon him by Mother once he took over the job of protector of the Island. ("Across the Sea")

 The Man in Black
     
The Man in Black
Introduced Solved
"The Incident, Part 1" "Across the Sea"
  • Who was the Man in Black?
    • He was once a man, Jacob's twin brother and Claudia's second son, who was also raised by Mother, after she killed Claudia. He was keen on leaving the Island, though Mother constantly prevented him from doing so, eventually culminating with the Man in Black killing her after she killed Claudia's people and destroying one of the wells. Jacob, angered with this, threw the Man in Black into the Sources, making him the Monster. ("Across the Sea")
  • Why did the Man in Black need Ben to kill Jacob?
    • Because Mother, fearing that one of the brothers (and one of the candidates for her replacement) may kill the other one, made it so that they may not hurt each other, so the Man in Black couldn't kill him by himself. ("The Incident, Parts 1 & 2") ("Across the Sea") He chose Ben specifically, because he needed someone that had personal reasons to kill Jacob, and so wouldn't hesitate from killing Jacob because of his convincing words, unlike Alpert, and possibly others. ("Ab Aeterno")
 Candidates
     
Candidates
Introduced Solved
"The Incident, Part 1" "The End"
  • Who are the candidates?
    • The candidates were possible replacements for Jacob, who knew that the Man in Black would eventually succeed in killing him. Many candidates existed, however by the time of his death, Jacob had narrowed it down to six names, each of which corresponding to one of the numbers: Locke (4), Reyes (8), Ford (15), Jarrah (16), Shephard (23) and Kwon (42, either Jin or Sun). Ilana also suggested that Frank may have been a candidate. ("The Incident, Part 2") ("The Substitute") ("What They Died For")
  • Why were the candidates chosen?
    • Jacob selected the candidates because they were "like him": alone and looking for something that was missing in their lives. ("What They Died For")
  • How was Jacob able to get the candidates to the Island?
    • At some point in each of their lives, Jacob came to the candidates off the Island and physically touched them. According to the Man in Black, somehow this touch caused fate to take control over the events in the candidates' lives, which eventually led them to the Island. ("The Incident") ("The Substitute")
  • Why was Kate not a candidate?
    • Jacob removed Kate's name when she became a mother to Aaron. According to Jacob, her removal as a candidate was only a line of chalk in a cave and she could take the position if she wished. ("Eggtown") ("What They Died For")
  • Which of the two Kwon's were actually one of Jacob's candidates?
    • Although Ilana seemed unsure whether Jin or Sun was the actual Kwon candidate, given that Jacob had removed Kate from his consideration when she became a mother, it is likely that Sun was not the candidate for the same reason. ("What They Died For")
  • Who was the final candidate?
    • Jack decided that he would accept Jacob's offer and became the new protector of the Island. His position was short-lived, however, as he was fatally wounded battling the Man in Black and died shortly after he prevented the Island from sinking. Hurley then took over the job, advised by Ben.

    • No. Daniel Faraday had hypothesized that a sufficiently major event, such as preventing the Incident could change the timeline, he was later proven incorrect. Although it originally seemed that such actions could cause the timeline to diverge into two different versions, it was later shown that the events of the flash sideways timeline took place in the afterlife, long after the crash of Oceanic 815. ("The Variable") ("LA X, Part 1") ("The End")
 Island's submergence
     
The Island#Flash sideways timeline
Introduced Solved
"LA X, Part 1" "The End"
  • How could the Island have sunk?
    • Removing the cork from the source causes the Island to begin to sink. ("The End")
  • Why was the Island submerged in the flash sideways timeline?
    • Due to the revelation that the flash sideways timeline was actually the afterlife, it is likely that the Island being submerged was simply a narrative device to indicate that the Island held no power over the lives of the Oceanic passengers in the flash sideways. ("LA X, Part 1") ("The End")
 Misplaced luggage
     
LA X#Flash-sideways timeline
Introduced Solved
"LA X, Part 2" "The End"
  • What happened to Locke's knives and Christian's coffin?
    • The items were simply misplaced by Oceanic Airlines.
 Jack
     
Jack Shephard (flash-sideways timeline)
Introduced Solved
"LA X, Part 1" "The End"
  • How was Jack's life different in the flash sideways timeline?
    • In the flash sideways timeline, Jack had had a son with Juliet Carlson. Though he strove to be a better father than Christian, Jack's relation with his son David were strained. Despite this, Jack was able to patch up his relationship with David; something he had never been able to do with his own father. ("Lighthouse") ("The End")
  • What caused Jack's recurring neck wound?
    • The neck wound was an artifact from Jack's life on the Island, where the Man in Black attempted to stab him in the neck. ("The End")
  • Why did the wound keep reappearing?
    • Given that the flash sideways timeline had been created to help the Oceanic survivors remember their former lives, the neck wound was likely meant to help Jack remember. ("The End)"
 Desmond
     
Desmond Hume (flash-sideways timeline)
Introduced Solved
"LA X, Part 1" "The End"
  • Why was Desmond on the plane in the flash sideways timeline?
    • He was in Australia to close a deal for his employer, Charles Widmore. ("Happily Ever After")
  • What did he want to show to the rest of the Oceanic 815 passengers?
    • He wanted to show them that this wasn't their real life, that it was actually their afterlife, and wanted to help them all remember their past lives, and fulfill their purpose in the flash sideways timeline (Hurley finally going out with Libby, Locke "letting go", Sayid meeting Shannon, Claire meeting Ilana, and therefore Jack and David). ("Everybody Loves Hugo") ("The Last Recruit") ("What They Died For") ("The End")
  • Why did he ran Locke over?
    • He wanted him to meet Jack again (this time as his patient), so he can have the surgery and finally "let go". ("What They Died For") ("The End")
 Jin and Sun
     
Kwon
Introduced Solved
"LA X, Part 2" "The Package"
  • Why did the Oceanic agent refer to Sun as Miss Paik?
    • Because in the flash sideways timeline, Sun and Jin never got married, though they did have a love affair. ("The Package")
  • What were the money that Jin was suppose to deliver in L.A. for?
    • They were to be delivered to Martin Keamy, an associate of Woo-Jung Paik's, who was being paid to kill Jin, because he had an affair with Sun. ("The Package")
  • Why was Jin tied up in Keamy's restaurant?
    • Because Keamy was suppose to kill him after talking to Sayid. ("The Package")

 John
     
John Locke (flash-sideways timeline)
Introduced Solved
"LA X, Part 1" "The Candidate"
  • How did Locke lose the use of his legs in the flash sideways timeline?
    • In a plane accident with his father. ("The Candidate")
 Dr. Linus
     
Benjamin Linus (flash-sideways timeline)
Introduced Solved
"The Substitute" "Dr. Linus"
  • How did Ben end up in the outside world and was he still affiliated with any of the previous Island factions?
    • He left the Island with his father, Roger Linus while the DHARMA Initiative was still functioning on the Island, so Ben was never part of the Purge, and never defected to the Others. ("Dr. Linus")
 David Shephard
     
David Shephard's mother
Introduced Solved
"Lighthouse "The End
  • Who is his mother?
    • Juliet Carlson, who had married and been divorced from Jack Shephard in the flash sideways timeline. ("The End")
  • Was he real?
    • As Christian Shephard explained to Jack in the church, everyone was real, however Juliet and Jack did not have a son together in their Earthly lives, so David was apparently a surrogate, needed by Jack to help him overcome his father issues, and by Juliet, herself a fertility specialist, to reconcile never having a child of her own. ("The End")
 Seeing other timelines
     
Timeline differences
Introduced Solved
"LA X, Part 2" "The End"
  • How did Juliet know "it worked"?
    • When Juliet was near death, she was able to see a vision of the afterlife, wherein Oceanic 815 never crashed. She may have incorrectly assumed that they had been successful in preventing the Incident, resulting in Oceanic 815's safe landing in Los Angeles. However, she also said to Sawyer as she was dying, "We should get coffee sometime. We can go Dutch." Later, when she met him at the vending machine in the flash sideways, she said the exact same thing about going Dutch for coffee, followed by "It worked," referring to the trick she suggested for getting Sawyer's stuck candy bar out of the machine. So it is possible that those last thoughts, "It worked," that Miles detected from her grave, were actually her seeing her afterlife, and repeating what she said to Sawyer at the machine. ("LA X, Part 1") ("The End")
  • How was Charlotte Malkin able to communicate with Yemi?
    • Similar to Juliet, when she was close to death via drowning Charlotte Malkin was able to see into the afterlife where she presumably spoke with Yemi who gave her a message for Eko. ("?") ("The End")
  • How is Desmond able to see visions of the flashsideways timeline?
    • Since, exposure to large amounts of electromagnetism can cause characters to see visions of their past and future, Widmore's experiment forced Desmond to see so far into his own future that he was looking at his own afterlife. ("Happily Ever After") ("The End")
  • How are the flashsideways characters able to see the events from the original timeline?
    • Since the timelines were not actually separate, and the flashsideways timeline was the characters' afterlife, these visions occurred when characters were able to make some sort of connection with their previous lives, granting them awareness of the events they had previously lived out. ("Happily Ever After") ("Everybody Loves Hugo") ("The End")
 Moving On
     
The End
Introduced Solved
"The End" "The End"
  • Why aren't Michael and Walt at the church?
    • Michael wasn't at the church because he was trapped on the Island as a ghost for having murdered Ana Lucia and Libby. Walt likely wasn't there because the Island (and thus the Oceanic castaways) were no longer a part of his life; he had "been through enough." ("Two for the Road") ("The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham") ("Everybody Loves Hugo")
  • Why wasn't Ana Lucia at the church?
    • Because she wasn't ready to move on. ("What They Died For")
  • Where were the characters moving on to?
    • The writers and cast alike have stated that the nature of "moving on" in the afterlife is subject to personal beliefs, which they respect, and is thus open to interpretation.
