Removed Reference to Death

I removed the reference to Chang dying in the Purge. It's possible, perhaps even probable, that he did, but since we have no information one way or the other on his fate, we should not say that he's dead. --Pennyj 01:36, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

We have information about his death from the DHARMA Booth Video, but it is possible that Chang's source was mistaken and he only thought that Pierre was dead. --Crash815 02:54, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

From Ann Arbor, Michigan - Source?

When as it made clear that Chang is from Ann Arbor, Michigan? I don't remember ever learning that, if it is true it adds much fuel to the 'chang as mile's father' theories.

Dharma booth video: "I am the professor of theoretical astrophysics from Ann Arbor, Michigan."

Miles' Father?

With Miles having bloody noses in "This Place is Death" indicating he'd been on the island before, could he be the baby Dr. Chang feeds in "Because You Left?" --Talkster 11:09, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

This is more appropriate under the theories section (someone correct me if I'm wrong). --Crash815 16:30, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
You're right; I'll add something.--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 18:48, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Status?

Shouldn't his status be deceased hence the DHARMA Booth Video?--Jinx Talk Contribs 16:09, 30 August 2008 (PDT)
- Agree. We'll undoubtedly see Chang, but he's as dead as the Goodspeeds.--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 16:17, 30 August 2008 (PDT)
- Agree. Since he himself has stated he will die, he's dead until proven alive. -- Sam McPherson T C E 17:14, 30 August 2008 (PDT)
Fixed--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 17:18, 30 August 2008 (PDT)
- Disagree. Since he wasn't dead at the time he recorded the video, he is merely presenting information that he has been told: "a man named George W. Bush" and "something called Internet" are phrases that show that he is uncertain of them. Until proof is shown, he must be considered Unknown. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Edwallols (talk • contribs) .

Possible name connection.

I was reading about Ursa Major... M108 - Messier 108 - A spiral galaxy that is in Ursa Major (Big Dipper). This galaxy was discovered by a man named Pierre MeChain. --kansasgal71 20:02, 14 December 2008 (PST)

That might be a little bit of a stretch. Interesting fact, though. -- Sam McPherson T C E 20:08, 14 December 2008 (PST)

His names

Dr. Marvin Candle, Dr. Mark Wickmund and Dr. Edgar Halliwax make him sound all candle-related haha. Is this intentional?--Mistertrouble189 03:58, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Pierre?

Pardon my ignorance, but could someone remind me how we know what his real name is? I heard the DI workers call him Dr. Chang, but where do we find out his name is Pierre? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jdnosilla (talk • contribs) 04:28, 22 January 2009.

His first name was revealed in the DHARMA booth video during the DIRP. -- CTS Talk Contribs 04:29, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
Also, I was just rewatching last night's episode and the guy that interrupts the filming of the orientation film calls him Dr. Chang. Crash815 18:18, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Name Reference

Pierre could be a connection to Pierre Curie, husband of Marie Curie. His famous Doctoral studies were on the subject of Magnetism. [1]
- Maybe his wife is named Marie Chang... Nick2010 23:21, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
Pierre Chang is an unusual combination of a French name with a Chinese surname. Surprisingly, the same holds true for the actual name and surname of the actor, Francois Chau. However this could be explained by presuming that, (as the actor François Chau himself) Pierre Chang is of Cambodian (or Vietnamese) descent. Cambodia being a former French colony, a French surname is possible, especially for someone likely to be born in the 30's or 40's like Chang.

Added note on BYL

If a 30 second, lineless Libby FB at the end of Dave counts as a "centric episode", then I get the feeling the opening of BYL (clearly from his POV) counts. --Golden Monkey 22:43, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm unsure, I don't know how to describe it - but I wouldn't go as far as saying "Because You Left" was a centered on Chang. Libby played a big part in the narrative of "Dave" and was central to the story while Chang has no relevance to the main story of "Because You Left". Also, the episodic pages list "Because You Left" as having no centric so I propose we remove this for now, to keep up some concordance between the pages on the site. --Jamie-0408 20:18, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Baby In Background? (from Unanswered Questions section)

Could the baby heard in the background be the baby boy born to Horace and Amy in "LaFleur"? Interesting that so far as we know, only one baby has ever been conceived and born successfully on The Island... -Voo 00:20, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

It's probably Pierre Chang's son. -- Sam McPherson T C E 00:25, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

What makes you say that? Or are you just guessing? -LOST-Voo 07:12, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

It's just very, very likely. -- Sam McPherson T C E 11:30, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Not Really Chang ?s

Who was his reliable source that gave him information from 30 years in the future?
Who is the man filming his transmission and arguing with him?
There is a baby heard in the background, was this baby born on the island, and if so, how?

shouldn't these point to the comic con video page or something? not directly about chang really.--moss ryder 08:20, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Agree. --Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 13:08, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Main Image

Hey guys, can you please change the new main image (in the Infobox) for Pierre Chang? I think it's too much creepy... LOL -- Calick talk contributions email 02:05, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
