--Pilotbread Working for one of the graphics companies that works with the Lost team, I saw stock footage that was used in The Listening Station was labled "Stock Footage: Antarctic" which seems to confirm the location being in antarctica
Very nice info. However, I wouldn't consider that to be confirming evidence of the location of the listening station until there is other evidence presented within "canon" to confirm.--Bernini 12:07, 25 May 2006 (PDT)
The two men
An open theory here. While the two men may be played by different actors, they look strangely similar to Hurley & Locke's bosses respective or irrespectively. hmmmmm НародныйАртист 19:14, 8 June 2006 (PDT)
Did they 'miss' the anomaly that caused the crash?
I'm not sure it's clear enough to include that as Fact. If I recall, one of the technicians said something along the lines of 'Did we miss it? How long has that been there?' Can anyone confirm either way?
- As far as I can remember they were pretty psycho and scared cause they were about to miss another one.. can anyone with a tivo clear this up? :) Hudd talkcontrib 08:17, 25 May 2006 (PDT)
I'm going to move it to theory. They did miss one, although it is unconfirmed that the missed anomaly was the one that caused the crash.--Bernini 08:28, 25 May 2006 (PDT)
- ok, but if they do say they missed one (you know, reruns and tivos and such, confirmation) than we at least should say "they missed a signature warning" in the facts and say "the sig. they missed was the one that crashed 815" down at the theories.. Hudd talkcontrib 08:48, 25 May 2006 (PDT)
- That sounds like a good way to handle it. GateKeeper 08:52, 25 May 2006 (PDT)
- I think that's what I did, no? Also.. I pulled the rather ill-informed theory that the station is off the coast of Sri Lanka. 1.) Um, Sri Lanka does not resemble the arctic and 2.) Sri Lanka's mountains are in the interior, not exterior of the country.--Bernini 11:38, 25 May 2006 (PDT)
- That sounds like a good way to handle it. GateKeeper 08:52, 25 May 2006 (PDT)
Also... wasn't there potentially a small "discharge" when Locke first saw the hieroglyphs? Could have been that one as well...--Bernini 16:11, 25 May 2006 (PDT)
portuguese?
can anyone confirm they are portuguese? - (Mikey 10:24, 25 May 2006 (PDT))
Yep... people have translated the portugeuse directly.--Bernini 16:11, 25 May 2006 (PDT)
They attempt to speak Brazilian Portuguese, however they do have a strong anglo-ish accent. I don't know if that's accidental, since the producers went so far as to making Sayid's Iraq scenes in Arabic and Jin and Sun's in Korean... I'm a native speaker of Brazilian Portuguese, by the way. Antiuser 18:50, 25 May 2006 (PDT)
I really disagree that. I'm Brazilan too and I think they are Portuguese. It is a fact that Brazilian languages and contraction influences the countries that speaks Portuguese — mostly because the transmitions of Globo International Network. Portuguese people learned the 'tá' (contracion of 'está' meaning 'to be') and many others. If you hear with attention, the only thing we may note is one or other word that sounds artificial, but because of the dialogue, not the accent. --DelBra 23:53, 6 Jun 2006 (GMT +3)
I strongly disagree: I'm portuguese and they are speaking Brazilian portuguese for sure!
--Mneves 06:42, 8 June 2006 (PDT)
It's not only the accent - the phrasal structure, enunciation and choice of words and expressions are very characteristic of Brazilian Portuguese. Antiuser 11:55, 8 June 2006 (PDT)
== Listening Post ==
The reason the listening post received a signal a second time in the season-ender was possibly because the magnetic buffer around the island was interrupted. The listening post did not intercept the magnetic event that shook the island and involved a bright light. What the listening post intercepted was an electronic tracking beam broadcast by the sail boat. The electronic tracking beam was shielded by the magnetic mechanism on the island and when it was disabled the listening post could hear the unshielded beam. The first time this happened what on Sept. 22 when the plane fell from the sky.

Brazilian
Sure they are brazilian characters, played by american actors (trying to speak brazilian portuguese).
They are from Portugal and probably are Portuguese, the accent match. They're not Brazilian and I don't think a series of that magnitude will let pass a mistake like 'american-playing-fake-brazilian' --DelBra 23:48, 6 Jun 2006 (GMT +3)
I strongly disagree: I'm portuguese and they are speaking Brazilian portuguese for sure!

Jack at the Listening Station?
Apparently, one of the guys at the listening station was played by Matthew Fox. Could this mean that Jack was at the listening station or maybe it was his twin/clone? Can anyone confirm or deny this rumour? --Rufus 03:10, 27 May 2006 (PDT)
He's Len Cordova, altough I personally think "Len" is a fake created by LOST producers, I mean, just look at how vague his filmography is and the little amount of photographs of him available
Could also be the producers sought a look a like of Matthew Fox, just to whipe up the whole "Bad Twin" theory again... -- Bramme 05:32, 27 May 2006 (PDT)
Just had a close look at the guy in the listening station again (Oz?). They do look VERY similar but apparently the producers have dismissed this rumour already on the podcast so I guess that's the end of that!--Rufus 06:45, 27 May 2006 (PDT)
I never thought he looked like Matthew Fox - it should be removed from the page now that the producers denied it. Neven 18:58, 27 May 2006 (PDT)
Background music?
Just watched the final episode again wearing headphones (with the volume up loud!). It wasn't completely clear, but the music sounded like an acoustic gituar version of Mama Cass's Make Your Own Kinda Music, as featured in the first episode of seson 2. Can anyone confirm this?

Photographs / Character connections
Browsing through the promotional photos for the finale in the photo gallery at lost-media.com, you can see these two guys have some family?/friends? photographs standing around. Knowing this show, these photographs could prove to be significant, if we're to see more of these guys, which I guess we will. [1] [2] --Jonathan Fakenham
Terminal Output
For what it's worth, I queried the four IP addresses listed in the terminal output message at arin.net (http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl). All are registered to Internet Assigned Numbers Authority; 4676 Admiralty Way, Suite 330; Marina del Rey, CA 90292-6695 (http://www.iana.org). According to the info, the entire block of IP addresses 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255, are "reserved for special purposes."
JakeApple 20:10, 31 May 2006 (PDT)
- Yep, those are "private addresses". They're often used by people who want to run an IP network without using "real" IP addresses, which are a limited resource, or maybe they want to keep their network isolated from the internet at large. IP addresses in the format of 10.x.x.x are often used in movies and TV shows for the same reason that fictional phone numbers start with 555, and troubled airlines are called "Oceanic". :) --Shodan1138 12:59, 8 June 2006 (PDT)
Portuguese I´m not sure
About they´re nationality, just hearing what they say, they have a portuguese from portugal accent. I live in brazil, and even they saying some words that are from brazil portuguese, they´re accent is like Portuguese from portugal.
I can say that they are from portugal.
