Week 49, 2009

Time travel is a recurring theme and part of the mythology on Lost. First hinted in the season 2 episode, "The Long Con", the Island constantly moves, and by using an ancient wheel underneath the Orchid, the electromagnetic power on the Island allows the inhabitants to travel through time. Other cases feature the risks of time travel, which often end with death, due to the inability to find a constant. Time travel played a major part in Season 5, and may have a strong influence on Season 6 depending on the resolution of the Jughead cliffhanger. (more...)

Week 48, 2009

Danielle Rousseau kept several maps and notes that she made or acquired during her first 16 years on the Island, containing diagrams, maps, equations, and various notations. Sayid, after escaping imprisonment at Rousseau's camp, took the maps and notes with him back to the survivor's camp. ("Solitary") He recruited Shannon to help translate the French notations that accompanied the mathematical equations on the maps and notes. Some of the notations that originally appeared to Shannon to be gibberish were later tranlsated as lyrics to the song "La Mer", from an animated children's movie. ("Whatever the Case May Be") Sayid retained possession of the pages, excepting a brief period during which Hurley took some of them, until he left the Island. ("Numbers")  ("There's No Place Like Home, Part 3") Rousseau's maps include several Island locations that have yet to be seen on the show, such as the extremely dangerous rivers, the bay of coconuts, the bay of storms, and the crater.

Michael shot and killed her out of shock, as she walked in on him fatally shooting Ana Lucia. (more...)

Week 38, 2009

Oceanic Flight 815 was a flight from Sydney, Australia, to Los Angeles, California. On September 22, 2004, the aircraft crashed on a mysterious Island, killing many of the passengers and leaving groups of survivors stranded across the Island.

Week 30, 2009

Whispers from an unknown source frequently appear when characters are in peril, when the Others are near, or during other moments of tension. These are not random noises, but rather actual speech, and can be decoded using audio software. See the Whisper transcripts for additional information. The majority of the whispers in the show are heard in the jungle. When they happen, the camera tends to rotate around the characters hearing them as they look around for the source, confused. The whispers are somehow associated with the Others, but the exact source of them is unknown. In "Dead Is Dead," Ben told Danielle to run the other way whenever she heard the whispers. (more...)

Week 29, 2009

Penelope "Penny" Hume, (née Widmore), is the wife of Desmond Hume, the daughter of Charles Widmore, and half-sister of Daniel Faraday. Before he crashed on the Island, Penny was the long time girlfriend of Desmond, however due to Desmond's fear of commitment they stopped seeing each other. After Desmond went missing in 2001, Penny began searching for him hoping he was still alive. Due to a brief interaction with Charlie, she knew there were survivors of the crash of Oceanic Flight 815. Thanks to a phone conversation with Desmond, she was able to track his location to the area near the Island, aboard the Searcher. There, she picked up a lifeboat containing the Oceanic Six, as well as Frank Lapidus and her long-lost love, Desmond. After the rescue of the Oceanic Six, Penelope married Desmond and they had a child together, Charlie. (more...)

After being fired, Christian left for Australia with Ana Lucia where he died as a result of an alcohol-induced heart attack. However, following the crash of Oceanic Flight 815, on which his son Jack was transporting his body back to Los Angeles, he began appearing, seemingly alive and well, to Vincent, Jack, Hurley, Claire, Locke, Miles, Michael, Sun, and Frank. (more...)

Week 27, 2009

The Statue of Taweret is a monument on the Island dedicated to the Egyptian goddess of fertility, Taweret. Though its builders are unknown, the statue has stood since at least the nineteenth century, though it was partially demolished before 2004, leaving only the left foot and calf behind. The base of the statue has served as a residence for Jacob as well. The statue was first seen by the survivors of Flight 815 when Sayid, Jin, and Sun sailed around the Island in the Elizabeth, causing Sayid to note the strangeness of the fact that the statue's ruins had only four toes. The statue was later seen briefly by Sawyer's group during the time flashes. In 2008, Jacob's nemesis, in the guise of John Locke, led the Others to the statue's ruins, where he and Ben journeyed inside in order to kill Jacob, a task that they were successful in. (more)...

Week 26, 2009

Week 25, 2009

Since at least the 19th century, Jacob has been in a rivalry with a man known only as Jacob's nemesis. While their conflict seems to revolve around the inherent nature of humanity, as shown by one of their conversations, Jacob's nemesis stated a desire to kill Jacob. Many years later, in 2007, he finally succeeded in this goal by taking over the body of the deceased John Locke after the crash of Ajira Flight 316 and integrating himself with the survivors of the flight, eventually resuming his role as leader of the Others and traveling to the Statue of Taweret, where he convinced Benjamin Linus to fatally stab Jacob in the chest. Unknown to him, during the confrontation with Jacob, his ruse was revealed by Ilana's group, who showed the real John Locke's body to Richard Alpert and the Others. (more...)

Week 24, 2009

Hieroglyphs are writing systems that use iconic symbols to communicate messages. Multiple ancient cultures used hieroglyphs, but the most famous variety are Egyptian hieroglyphs. There have been numerous encounters with hieroglyphs throughout Lost. Damon Lindelof indicated in Access: Granted that the symbols are used because "there are many interpretations of hieroglyphics, that's what we were going for." Some of the hieroglyphs, like those on the countdown timer in the Swan station, were created by the DHARMA Initiative. Others, like those on the Temple and the Tunnels, appear to be much older.

Week 23, 2009

The DHARMA Initiative was an organization that came to the Island in order to conduct research on the many mysterious properties there. Based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, DHARMA was founded by Gerald and Karen DeGroot, with funding from Alvar Hanso. On the Island, the Initiative was led by Horace Goodspeed and Stuart Radzinsky. DHARMA built many stations across the Island (and at least one off the Island), many of which were discovered by the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 many years later. After traveling through time, several of the survivors became members of DHARMA, including Sawyer, who became the Island's head of security, as well as Juliet, Miles, and Jin (and later Kate, Jack, and Hurley). DHARMA was often involved in a conflict with the indigenous people of the Island, whom they called the "Hostiles." A truce was formed between the two groups, but was later broken by DHARMA when they began building the Swan in Hostile territory. The conflict eventually escalated until the Hostiles massacred DHARMA in the Purge in 1992. (more)...

Week 22, 2009

"Jughead" is the name of a bomb left on the Island by the United States Army. At Daniel Faraday's behest, the Others buried the bomb in the Tunnels for twenty years, until it was exhumed by Jack Shephard and Sayid Jarrah in an attempt to destroy the Island and make it so that Oceanic Flight 815 never crashed on the Island. Taking the bomb to the Swan site on the date of the Incident, Jack dropped the bomb's plutonium core into the pit, though it did not detonate until later, when a mortally wounded Juliet found it and detonated it by pounding it with a rock. The effects of this detonation are as of yet unknown. (more)...

Week 21, 2009

Charles Widmore is a former leader of the Others, a wealthy industrialist and the father of Penelope Widmore and Daniel Faraday. He has a long-running and mysterious rivalry with Benjamin Linus (also a former leader of the Others) over control of the Island. The expedition of the freighter Kahana failed to return the Island to his possession. For unknown reasons, Ben cannot kill Widmore even when given the opportunity. However, Widmore is apparently plotting to kill Ben, a "common interest" he had with Sun-Hwa Kwon until Sun learned that Ben's actions on the Island had not resulted in her husband's death. (more)...

Week 20, 2009

The Incident, first mentioned by Dr. Marvin Candle in the Swan Orientation film, was an electromagnetic anomaly that apparently caused a catastrophic event that resulted in the DHARMA Initiative establishing the Swan station's protocol. The Incident occurred on the fourth day following the Oceanic Six's return to the Island in 1977, when a drilling accident at the site of the Swan station unleashed a pocket of electromagnetic energy. The DHARMA Initiative was forced to contain the the energy with high amounts of concrete and constructing The Swan around the pocket, using the protocol to regulate the anomaly. (more)...

Week 19, 2009

Jeremy Davies is the actor who portrayed Daniel Faraday throughout seasons four and five of Lost. Davies was born on October 8, 1969 in Traverse City, Michigan. During his acting career, he appeared in many roles, most notably as Pvt. Upham in the Tom Hanks film Saving Private Ryan. He also appeared in the film Rescue Dawn alongside Francois Chau. In late 2007, Davies responded to the casting call for the character of "Russell," a fake name used during casting in order to prevent the leakage of spoilers. The actual character, Daniel Faraday, made his first appearance in the episode "The Beginning of the End," appearing in a much larger role in the following episode. Davies was confirmed to be a series regular for the show, and appeared in a total of twenty episodes until his character's death in "The Variable." (more)...

Week 18, 2009

VALIS is a novel by famed science fiction author Philip K. Dick that was featured on Lost. The book made its appearance in episode "Eggtown", when Locke selected it for Ben to read while waiting in captivity. Though Ben complained that he'd already read it, Locke instructed him to read it again, because he "might catch something you missed the second time around." The book, the first in Dick's last trilogy of books, concerns the character Horselover Fat as he attempts to untangle the meaning of gnosticism and God. The book shares many themes with Lost, including the ability to "mentally" travel through time, without the subject's body ever physically leaving, as well as films with subliminal clips and messages. (more)...

Ajira Airways Flight 316 was the flight used the Oceanic Six (with the exception of Aaron), as well as Ben, to return to the Island. The flight was chosen by Eloise Hawking, who had determined that the plane would fly right over the Island. Efforts were taken by Hawking and the Oceanic 6 to make sure that the flight was as similar to Oceanic Flight 815 as possible, through the use of proxies. Besides the five members of the Oceanic Six, Benjamin Linus, and the corpse of John Locke, other significant passengers included Caesar, Ilana, and Bram, as well as the pilot Frank Lapidus. Midway through the flight, the plane crashed on the Hydra Island, though Jack, Kate, Hurley, and Sayid were teleported to 1977. The other survivors remained in 2007, and set up a beach camp, of which Caesar assumed leadership. (more)...

Week 15, 2009

Due to nature of Lost, many fans experience apophenia when attempting to solve the many mysteries of the show. Apophenia is the perception of patterns, or connections, where in fact none exist. The most common form of Lost-related apophenia is due to the numbers, which appear many times throughout the show. Fans have attempted to use random and most likely insignificant appearances of the numbers to mathematically explain the various happenings on the Island. Many other forms of apophenia, such as attempted connections between Mathias and Jack, have appeared around the fan community. (more)...

The Orchid DHARMA Initiative station is a time travel and botanical research station located on the Island. The Orchid is comprised of three main sections: the greenhouse, the inner sanctum, and the wheel chamber. The greenhouse is part of the facade for the station. The station's true purpose was hidden from other members of the Initiative. The fake purpose of the station was botanical research, and the station's exterior is filled with a myriad of flowers and greenery. Behind the patch of anthuriums on the station's north wall is a secret elevator that descends into the Orchid's inner sanctum. Inside the interior of the station, experiments on time travel were conducted by the Initiative. In the Orchid Orientation video, Pierre Chang demonstrates the properties of the station on a bunny. In "There's No Place Like Home, Part 3", Ben accesses the wheel chamber by placing metal inside of the Vault.
