The others apparently live on the island in a small, nicely tended, community located in a volcanic crater.
They pretend to live survivalist lives to fool the crash survivors.
They are aware of the DHARMA initiative.
They forcably abduct "Good People"
No children have been seen amoung them.
They have contact with the outside world via at least electronic and TV. Yet they remain on the island.
They seem content to allow the crash survivors to live on the far side of the island.
They don't seem to concerned over the french woman, where they have conducted plots against the crash survivors at the expence of at least 5 of their members lives.
Some of them may have been on the island before the DHARMA initiative arrived. (Ben who appears to be in his late 30s early 40s claims to have been on the island his entire life)
They speak english. --—The preceding unsigned comment was added by ASEO (talk • contribs) .
Images
Any idea why the image dimensions are so strange? --Admin 02:27, 26 October 2006 (PDT)
brainwashing
Karl is a member of the Others. Karl is forced to watch the brainwashing film. Have how many other "Others" been forced to get a brainwashing? Stay on the island, all their arguments (include "we are good") is a choice or the result of brainwashing? (Sorry for my bad english!)—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mauro (talk • contribs) .
Add Luke
Would an Sysop be so kind as to add Luke to this portal, thanks. -Mr.Leaf 15:59, 15 February 2007 (PST)

Colleen Pickett
Can we extend the name Colleen to Colleen Pickett? It seems more complete that way.Clayaikenatemybaby 21:56, 7 March 2007 (PST)
Where are Richard Alpert & Ryan Pryce?
Can you please add Richard Alpert now, especially since his profile has elevated from "flashback character" to "minor other" (at least, so far)?? Ryan Pryce could also be added to the minors, no? Highspeed 23:52, 21 March 2007 (PDT)
I agree with this. Richard is as prominent Other, and Ryan is like Danny Pickett was inside The Others community.
Guys, the episode aired last, night, relax, it hasn't even been 24 hours, it will get done.-Mr.Leaf 04:58, 22 March 2007 (PDT)
Him/Jacob
I know there's a discussion already for merging 'Him' and 'Jacob' pages, and Carlton/Lindelhof have confirmed "it's fair" to say they're the same entity, so can't we have this happen already? And on the Others portal, similarly merge the "Him" and "Jacob" links? --Cyhunter 12:36, 14 April 2007 (PDT)
- It most definitely has been confirmed, and the majority vote is yes, but someone still has to do it. --Sauron18 12:38, 14 April 2007 (PDT)
- "Him" was voted for merging with Jacob, so we can take it off this index now. Any sysops around? :) --Jackdavinci 21:36, 19 April 2007 (PDT)
Sabine
Should be removed from portal: the others, We dont know if shes a hostile/dharma person/or a random survivor --Presariocompaq 06:58, 15 April 2007 (PDT)
- Ben said they were all willing women before Claire, meaning they were as much Others as Juliet is. --Jackdavinci 01:01, 16 April 2007 (PDT)
Jacob picture
Shouldn't we put Jacob's image?
unknown headshot
Can the male and female "unknown" portraits be made more similar to each other in style? --Jackdavinci 12:24, 25 May 2007 (PDT)
We have two sets of them, the black ones and the purple ones. Unfortunately I cannot find the female version of the black one or else I would add it. Its just for a little while until the images on the wiki work again and i can make minis for them. -Mr.Leaf 13:19, 25 May 2007 (PDT)
Dead Vs. Alive Grouping
Do we KNOW that Mikhail is dead? He's already come back from dead twice, and the underwater 'death' was a lot more ambiguous than the foaming/bleeding from the ears and harpoon through the heart. I have a feeling his picture will be going back and forth between the two groupings until February.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Requiem (talk • contribs) .
- The picture will stay under deceased until the new season for the following reasons. While his death is not confirmed or is up in the air there is more evidence to support his death then him being alive at the moment. If he somehow managed to survive the explosion he would have still died. He was not wearing his breathing equiptment, just a face mask, he had already been in the water for at least 30 seconds to a minute holding his breath. The water rushing in to the room would have held him back for at least another 10-20 seconds, and swimming up that much while still holding his breath would nearly be impossible. Not to mention the fact that he was bleeding (however little) and that there are sharks in that area that we know like the taste of blood. On the other hand, we can say they never really showed him completely dead. Although the latter is possible there is way to much information for the first option. -Mr.Leaf 09:24, 26 May 2007 (PDT)
Juliet & Alex
Juliet and Alex should be move to a new section - "Former Others" Green Ape 09:37, 26 May 2007 (PDT)
Mikhail Bakunin
I don't think we should put Mikhail in the "deceased others" tab. We don't know if he lives or not.
Proposal: Creation of "Status Unknown" section on this page
Certainly Mikhail Bakunin belongs in this category...for/against? --ukexpat 14:41, 30 May 2007 (PDT)
Against - Mikhail is dead unless proven otherwise. Him being alive is a slim glimmer of hope by some people. The same could be argued for Diane, Pryce, Ivan, Luke, etc, etc. -Mr.Leaf 14:43, 30 May 2007 (PDT)
- But having blood spout from your ears and nose whilst frothing from the mouth, and being shot in the heart area with a harpoon, would kill almost everybody. So Mikhail could possibly be still alive, seeing as though we thought he was dead twice before. --Magnet 22:41, 30 May 2007 (PDT)
Isabel
Isabel is dead, according to Damon and Carlton at Comic-Con. >: 4 8 15 16 23 42 04:24, 31 July 2007 (PDT)
Redesign Applied
- Obviously there are a few things to fix before this goes online, in particular the images of the characters need to be resized. I need to ask people though. Ben... Technically he is a defector from the DHARMA Initiative, so shouldn't he go into the "defectors" list at the bottom? Plkrtn talk contribs email 01:21, 21 August 2007 (PDT)
- Yes, I think so. After all, as you say, he went from DHARMA to the Others, having originally been a DHARMA workman. So yes, he is a defector. -- Lost Soul talk contribs 04:06, 21 August 2007 (PDT)
- I don't think so. After all our definition of the Others is not the group that was originally on the island (that is in a sense the Hostiles). The Others were always the group opposing the Losties. We also know that there are other members of the Others that are from DHARMA (as noted by the producers) and I don't think moving just Ben would work. The Others are the people that have opposed the Losties since they came to the island. Ben's actions before this really don't matter to the Losties and don't change their views of him as an Other. I hope what I'm saying is clear. -Mr.Leaf 10:09, 21 August 2007 (PDT)
