Why did she want Michael kept out of Walt’s life?
Was her keeping Michael away from Walt the reason that the latter was so rebellious and utterly disrespectful towards the former on the island?
Did she ever love Michael before and after they had Walt or was their relationship all a lie?
What's on your mind?

What if there is a deeper connection between the mysteries of the series?
Jacob is obviously the villain in Lost. A woman comes and kills his mom, he and his brother are raised by this abductive guardian, his bro learns the truth and wants to go home, but as he's fine with Jacob staying and protecting the island (Like, why would that be the right thing to do?? If an evil woman broke into your home, killed your mom and tells you to do something, you'd assume it's the wrong thing, right?) So then Jacobs mom goes to burn his home down, and kill his friends, like... Jacob is like, 'No, you have to stay here and fight me! We must be enemies!' So, there's no reason that BOTH of them need to guard the island, both she and Jacob can do that, so then Jacob keeps him here on the island in misery. And when Jacob crashes the plane, everyone has a terrible life and he wants to steal them as candidates and tells the others to even kill some of them. Jacob's brother is only putting them out of their misery and keeping them away from control over the island so that he can leave. He's doing nothing wrong! Jacob is going to ruin Walt's life anyway! There is NO reason to think Jacob is a good guy! He's the literal VILLAIN of Lost!

You got the entry for Tom Friendly wrong. Tom had never shot James "Sawyer" Ford in "Exodus". Sawyer had raised his gun to shoot Tom and one of Tom's companions beat him to the draw and shot the con man. Also, Sawyer had lied about killing Tom for Walt's kidnapping. Sawyer had never really liked Walt. And he had stopped caring about Walt's situation the moment he had stepped foot back on the island in early Season Two. In "The Hunting Party", Sawyer had made it clear that he wanted to kill Tom in retaliation for him getting shot in the Season One finale.
"815" is a comprehensive and in-depth documentary series about the show's creation, covering all aspects from the business drama, to the early idea, the production, the marketing, the premiere and everything in between across six episodes - featuring exclusive information and never before seen footage.

I didn't participate in the Lost Experience back in 2006, but I was always curious about it. A couple of weeks ago, I was researching the whole thing here in Lostpedia when I noticed that a lot of the links were dead. Some stuff I could only find by searching in the Internet Wayback Machine, and some stuff wasn't even there. So I thought I would make a file with everything that was released during the Lost Experience in one place. That way, nothing gets lost even if the Internet Wayback Machine ever goes down. I didn't find everything, but I found most things. This file contains most of the documents, audio files, video files, podcasts, etc. It also has transcripts of some stuff and screenshots of most websites.
The entire thing is 858MB and has 882 files.

Or here:

I also added a PDF file in every folder, with a small summary of all the important events that happened each day. Most of it was copied and pasted from Lostpedia and other sources.
I don't know how much interest there is in the Lost Experience in 2023, but some of the stuff here was in danger of being lost forever. I've been repacing some of the dead links here in Lostpedia, like the DJ Dan podcast links that were dead.
Here's some images of the contents of the file:

After a couple of weeks of posting about it, the trailer for my LOST fan film is finally finished. Some people will like it and some people will hate it but it’s important to remember that most people on planet Earth won’t even care. It’s a fan film. I am just one person.
I hope everyone will enjoy it.
I am curious: Has there ever been lost media involved in this franchise, like a lost episode, a promotional video or photo, or a lost script, something like that?
It's official. My LOST Fan Series entitled "Avalon Station" has finished filming.
(Check out my earlier post on this topic from 2nd February 2023.)
I attach the poster below. More details to follow....
Was there every any explanation at all as to what the individual numbers represent in the equation? I remember the Sri Lanka video with Alvar Hanson talking about the equation but I can't seem to find out what each number represents. Does anyone know or have theories?
Just started watching Lost. Curious to know whether there are any scenes with snakes, as they just creep me out.

I've had this theory/interpretation since the summer of 2010 when the series ended, and it's been growing ever since. I finally started on a video series and most of it is finished/posted.
It started with the question of what exactly is the Flash/-Sideways/Afterlife/Bardo in the final season? Clearly it comes from 'the Light' at the Heart of the Island. But then I noticed an interesting little detail. When Desmond is transported to the Flash-Sideways, he is placed in a giant wooden Box. Also, the Series Finale opens with a montage of conspicuous shots of the Large Box transporting Christian's body to the Church.
Why is the statue underwater in LAX? Because one of the last things Kate said to Jack was to let the island sink, and he didn't. Miles talks about ghosts only being who they were when they died. So the Flash-Sideways is the Magic Box, giving all the people touched by the Island what they still wanted at the moment of their individual deaths.
I remembered Ben's speech about the Magic Box. Whatever you wanted and imagined would be inside the Box once it was opened. Everyone's afterlife storyline is based around fulfilling and reconciling whatever was left over at the time of their individual deaths. John found out Helen died of cancer the day he died, so she is the focus of his Flash-Sideways, Hurley still misses Libby, Kate still regrets stealing Aaron, Sawyer misses being a Dharma cop with Miles, etc.
Then I remembered JJ Abrams' Ted Talk about the Mystery Box in storytelling (mostly in reference to the Hatch).
He talks about how the individual imagination places something different in the Box for everyone.
Then I thought about what the Hatch was. A container for the Electromagnetism. Not unlike when Jacob is describing the Island as a bottle of darkness with a cork. The darkness being the Smoke Monster, who came from the Light.
This is not unlike the Freudian model of the subconscious mind, the collective repressed thoughts in the mind, just beneath the surface of the self, contained by the Superego.
It never made sense the way that 'Walt' led Shannon to her death, exactly the way the MiB would. Walt wasn't dead, so could it be the MiB? Well yes, because the dead are part of the collective subconscious, and Shannon projected her repressed guilt (for losing Vincent) onto the Monster, allowing the MiB to take the form of Walt, the Horse, the Spiders, even the dreams and visions that led Locke along episode to episode. Smokey led Locke to the '?' so he would lost faith and fail to press the button, allowing the MiB to escape through the Swan pocket.
Then it all came together. The Light is the Island is the Magic Box is the Mystery Box. "It's not an island. It's a place where miracles happen."
The Light/Island created the Smoke Monster as a defense mechanism. As part of the Island, the Monster is the Magic Mystery Box too, scanning flashbacks and manifesting inner darkness to lead Candidates astray from the path to redemption laid out by Jacob.
Jacob and the Candidates subconsciously project repressed desires (dramatized as flashbacks) onto the Smoke Monster (Jacob projects the Brother he murdered just the same as anyone else). Smokey has no permanent identity. It is a part of the Island, and of the people who come to be stranded there.
The Monster slowly becomes consumed in the identities it takes. That's why as Christian, it kidnaps Claire. Christian was in Australia to see Claire before he died. Smokey becomes more and more like Locke over the course of Season 6.
Anyway, give it a watch.
March is Women's History Month! This year's theme is embracing equity. Fandom is recognizing women, femme-identifying, and non-binary people and how they build the tables in industries where they often do not have a seat.
Read about Women's History Month in Fandom's blog post:
Embrace Equity with Fandom this Women’s History Month
Fandom Wikis are also taking a focus on women in relation to their wikis, including characters, storylines, cast, crew, and even wiki editors.
Are there any examples from your wiki of women embracing equity that you'd like to share or spotlight? Post in the comments!
