天鵝站 是迷失的地點,由系列的製作團隊創作,它在迷失第1季第11集正式登場。
地點簡介[]
天鵝站 是DHARMA計劃的3號研究站,它於70年代末期秘密地建於小島的地底裡,並位於敵人的領土內。天鵝站在小島的西南方,與815航班生還者的營地相距大約1英里。
The station was originally designed to be a laboratory where DHARMA scientists would study and manipulate the "unique electromagnetic fluctuations" emanating from this sector of the Island. However, after a mysterious "incident", a special protocol was instituted to prevent a potential global catastrophe. Template:Crossref Two individuals manning the station would take shifts pressing a button (entering the Numbers into a computer) every 108 minutes. These two operators would live and work in the station, continuing this task for shifts lasting 540 days.
On November 27, 2004, the Swan imploded on activation of the fail-safe by Desmond Hume. A large crater now resides in its place. Template:Crossref
History[]
DHARMA Initiative[]
Construction[]
The DHARMA Initiative somehow detected a pocket of anomalous energy beneath this sector of the Island and planned to create a facility to study and to try to harness its power. Stuart Radzinsky was the architect of this facility, which would later be known as The Swan, having started planning and designing the station as early as 1971. This energy pocket was similar to that beneath The Orchid only said to be 30,000 times stronger.
Construction of the Swan began sometime before July of 1977 and Radzinsky was seen with full blueprints of the station and a survey map when he was stationed at the Flame that same year. Radzinsky's goal was to manipulate electromagnetism through experiments at the station, believing the results would fundamentally change the world. According to Pierre Chang, the Swan project was "confidential" as the station was located inside Hostile territory. The station's existence needed to be kept secret per the stipulations of The Truce forbidding deep drilling.
During the construction of the station, one worker was killed when one of his dental fillings was pulled through his forehead by a huge electromagnetic force. Another worker at the construction site was seen hammering the Numbers into the hatch as serial numbers. Template:Crossref When Daniel Faraday returned to the Island in 1977, he immediately warned Pierre Chang that continued drilling would lead to a release of a highly unstable energy, causing the Incident. Template:Crossref
The Incident/aftermath[]
Little is known of what DHARMA hoped to achieve via experiments at the Swan. According to the Orientation film, the station was originally constructed to be a laboratory where scientists could study electromagnetism. The film claims that not long after the experiments began, an "incident" occurred requiring the establishment of a protocol where two men living at the station would push a button every 108 minutes. Failure to do so would result in dire consequences. Desmond described entering the Numbers and pressing "Execute" as being an action necessary to save the world. Template:Crossref
At some point after the Incident, Radzinsky came to be stationed at the Swan, where he was later joined by Kelvin Inman after the Gulf War in 1991. It is not known when these events occurred in relation to the Purge, but it seems likely that it was sometime post-Purge when Radzinsky shot himself while Kelvin was sleeping. Template:Crossref
Kelvin continued to man the station alone until Desmond's arrival on the Island aboard the Elizabeth. Kelvin and Desmond, as partners, continued pressing the button for three years, until the day of of Flight 815's arrival when Desmond accidentally killed Kelvin at the cove. Template:Crossref
Being away at the cove, Desmond failed to enter the Numbers in a timely fashion, which resulted in a "system failure" and a huge electromagnetic buildup. Although the system was eventually reset, the electromagnetic force was strong enough to be able to tear Flight 815 apart in mid-air in passing over the Island. Desmond would not come to realize his role in the crash until more than two months later. He continued to live alone for another 44 days before the survivors blasted open the Swan's hatch with dynamite. Shortly afterwards, Desmond fled the Swan, leaving it to the survivors. Template:Crossref
The Others[]
It is unclear when the Others first learned of the Swan. The Others seemed initially to be unaware of the station's existence and that that DHARMA personnel continued to staff the station well after the Purge. The Others clearly had learned of the Swan's existence by November 2004 as Tom was making use of The Pearl station to conduct surveillance of the survivors at The Swan. On November 9, Ben and Juliet also visited The Pearl briefly to observe Jack and were overheard by Paulo. Template:Crossref
Per the Lost producers, the Others were largely unaware of the Swan station and its inhabitants until the survivors discovered it. Template:Crossref
Clues pointing to the Swan's existence[]
It is unclear how the DHARMA Initiative managed to keep the station's existence a secret for so long:
- In 1977, Sayid clearly mentioned the name of the station in front of Richard Alpert and Eloise Hawking. Template:Crossref
- The sheer size of the Swan construction site, noise of the drilling, and the presence of at least one road leading to the site from the Barracks would make the project very difficult to conceal from the Others, whom Roger Linus described as "lords of the jungle." Template:Crossref
- Although the DHARMA Initiative was attempting to keep the construction of the Swan a secret, their security procedures seem rather lax given Dr. Chang appears to have no problem letting individuals such as Hurley (a relative newcomer to the Island) know about the existence of the site. Template:Crossref
- A quite large number of DHARMA Initiative members knew of the Swan, including Horace, Radzinsky, Pierre Chang, Phil, the construction staff and other security personnel. After the station was complete a rotating staff at the Pearl also monitored ongoing activity at the Swan for years prior to the Purge. Additionally the Swan itself had a change of personnel approximately every 1.5 years. Template:Crossref
- A model of the Swan and a number of blueprints pertaining to its construction were kept at the Flame in 1977. Template:Crossref
- Numerous notebooks from the Pearl containing detailed observations on the activities of the Swan personnel were dumped unceremoniously in the jungle at the capsule dump. Template:Crossref
- The prevelance of Swan logos throughout the DHARMA Initiative.
- It is unclear if the DHARMA Initiative would have bothered to continue their campaign of secrecy after the Incident - believing that the site had already been found and attacked by the Hostiles. Template:Crossref
- Eloise Hawking was clearly aware of the Swan and the protocol per her encounter with Desmond in 1996. Template:Crossref
- On November 9, 2004, Walt was somehow able to make use of another computer on the Island - very likely at a station controlled by the Others - to contact Michael at the Swan. Template:Crossref
- Periodic resupply drops continued to be made by an unknown party to the Swan after the Purge. Template:Crossref
Recent events[]
Season One (Days 1–44)[]
During the first season of Lost, one of the central plotlines was gaining access to the Swan, which they referred to as "the Hatch". The hatch entrance was first discovered by Locke and Boone by accident when Locke dropped his flashlight and the sound of metal was heard from beneath the foliage covering the ground. Template:Crossref
The two of them proceeded to excavate the hatch entrance and employ various means of opening it. One of their first attempts was the construction of a large trebuchet, designed to swing a large piece of shrapnel from the crash of Flight 815 into the hatch's window. The plan failed and a sharp piece of the shrapnel broke off on impact and buried itself in Locke's leg. Template:Crossref
A later attempt was successful, using dynamite obtained from the Black Rock to blow open the hatch. As they were setting up the dynamite, Hurley noticed the Numbers engraved in the side of the Hatch and made an unsuccessful attempt to stop them. The season ended with Locke and Jack looking down into the long shaft into the Swan. Template:Crossref
Season Two (Days 44–67)[]
In the second season, the survivors descended into the Hatch and encountered Desmond, learning also of the computer and the protocol of "pushing the button". Jack and Locke eventually took over Desmond's task of setting up a rotation of responsibility, wherein everyone would take shifts entering the Numbers, which Locke initially believed to be of great importance. Template:Crossref
During Ben's period of captivity at the Swan, a lockdown event occurred in which the blast doors throughout the Swan were lowered. Locke was accidentally trapped beneath one of the doors and sent Ben through the air ducts to push the button. At first, Ben claimed to have pushed the button, but later changed his story in telling Locke he had not pushed it. It seems clear, however, that Ben must have entered the Numbers as no system failure occurred. During the lockdown, supplies were dropped by parachute to a location just outside the Swan. It is unclear if the two events were connected. Template:Crossref
Upon discovery of the Pearl Orientation video, Locke lost all faith in the Swan, believing the entire setup at the Swan was nothing more than a psychological experiment being run by the DHARMA Initiative. Eko came to a different conclusion, however: he became convinced that pushing the button was of the utmost importance. Template:Crossref
At the conclusion of the season, Locke and Desmond, both frustrated by the station's ambiguity, conceived of a plan to not enter the Numbers to see what happened, believing they would prove once and for all that the station was merely a psychological test. Eko's protests fell on deaf ears and he was shut out of the computer room when Desmond brought down the blast doors. Inside, they let the countdown timer run down to zero, causing a system failure. The countdown timer flipped to five red hieroglyphs. The two of them came to the horrible realization that the system was real as a huge magnetic force surged up behind the sealed portion of the Swan, causing the entire station to shake. Metallic objects across the station were yanked across the room by tremendous force, some bent and twisted out of shape, including the countdown timer. Forced to act, Desmond entered the crawlspace beneath the floor of the Swan and turned the fail-safe key. Template:Crossref
Season Three (Days 68–91)[]
As a result of activating the fail-safe, the Swan was completely destroyed, imploding in upon itself and leaving a wide gaping crater behind. Bits and pieces were also thrown clear of the site, including the hatch door, the pingpong table and other odds and ends. Locke, Eko, and Desmond all survived, despite being inside the station at the time of the discharge. Template:Crossref
Season Five[]
After the moving of the Island, Daniel Faraday and a number of the other time-shifting survivors returned to the Swan for clues to the date. They first found the Swan as a gaping crater in the ground, which returned to its original state before the implosion upon their next time shift. Although no one initially responded to Sawyer's banging on the Swan's front door, Daniel later proved successful and had a brief encounter with a highly suspicious Desmond. Template:Crossref
Later in the season, the time shifting survivors became stuck in the 1970s at the time of the DHARMA Initiative's presence on the Island. At one point in 1977, Pierre Chang brought Miles and Hurley to the site where the Swan was being constructed. The two of them witnessed the stamping of the Numbers into the hatch. Template:Crossref
The time-stranded survivors, ironically, may have been responsible for the incident at the site referred to by Dr. Chang. In an attempt to prevent the station from ever being built, and thus, to prevent Flight 815 from ever crashing on the island, Jack dropped the "Jughead" bomb's core down the drill shaft at the Swan site, where it was later detonated by Juliet. Template:Crossref
Season Six[]
After the detonation of the Jughead the time-shifting survivors awoke, finding themselves in 2007, around the implosion crater of the Swan. In the center of the crater beneath a twisted mass of metal, Kate heard Juliet calling for help. Using the DHARMA van that was also transported with them from 2007, they were able to shift the debris and Sawyer was able to climb downwards to find a dying Juliet. Template:Crossref
Orientation film[]
Inside the Swan the survivors discovered an orientation film produced in 1980 by the Hanso Foundation - describing the origin and purpose of the station for new arrivals. In the film, Dr. Pierre Chang, using the alias Dr. Marvin Candle, gave a brief overview of the founding of the DHARMA Initiative. According to Dr. Candle, the Swan was originally designed to be a laboratory "where scientists could work to understand the unique electromagnetic fluctuations emanating from this sector of the Island". However, after an "incident", a protocol was introduced in which two individuals manning the station would take alternating shifts pressing a button (i.e. entering the Numbers into a computer) every 108 minutes for 540 days, at the end of which replacements would arrive.
After the reunification of the Flight 815 tail section survivors and middle section survivors, Mr. Eko revealed a cut-out piece of the film to Locke, which he had discovered at the Arrow. The two of them were able to splice back in the missing section, and in reviewing it found an additional section where Dr. Candle warned that using the Swan computer for any other purpose other than entering the code every 108 minutes was strictly forbidden and could potentially lead to another incident. Template:Crossref
The station[]
The Swan was originally conceived and designed to be a scientific laboratory, but after the incident it became a continually manned post with apparently the sole purpose of pushing the button. Dating from the 1970s, the subterranean station still had the conveniences and technology from that era when the survivors discovered it.
The Swan also contains one or more concealed cameras allowing video surveillance to be carried out from the Pearl. There is at least one camera in the main living area. Template:Crossref
Entrances[]
There were two known entrances to the Swan:
The Hatch[]
The first entrance discovered by the survivors was a steel hatch, set atop a long vertical shaft some 50 feet deep. A ladder previously led down into the depths, but it was broken and the rest missing a short distance down from the top. The inside of the hatch had the word "QUARANTINE" stenciled on it. The Numbers were also imprinted on the outside of the hatch; apparently the serial number of the Swan station or possibly of the hatch itself. A large spotlight was affixed to the wall at the base allowing illumination of the shaft above. Template:Crossref
Main Entrance[]
The main entrance to the Swan was a walk-in set of double doors emblazoned with the Swan logo concealed behind a curtain of vines and roots. Beyond the doors, a ramp led down a short distance to a pneumatic style door opening into an airlock. A second similar door permitted access to the station. The airlock appears to contain several lockers and several HAZMAT suits. The Swan architect Stuart Radzinsky is presumed to be buried close to the main entrance.Template:Crossref
Main corridor[]
Both entrances provided access to a primary corridor running the length of the station. About halfway along the corridor (across from the entryway to the living area) were two large obvious doors which had been hurriedly sealed with concrete, blocking access to the area of the station where the incident occurred. The area exhibited a high degree of magnetic attraction to metals, such as Jack's key and Eko's cross. Sayid attempted entry briefly and estimated the concrete behind the door was eight to ten feet thick Template:Crossref
Along the wall between the entrance corridor and the living area, was a large mural created by Desmond. Template:Crossref Painted in an expressionist style, it contained an assortment of images and writing, including the Numbers 108 and 42, a boat, an arrow, and depictions of a black man and white woman. The mural also contains the phrase: "I am sick."
Computer room[]
Enclosed in a geodesic dome, apart from the main living area, the computer room was where the occupants of the station would carry out the task of pushing the button. Situated in the middle of the room was the Swan computer, into which The Numbers had to be entered every 108 minutes, according to the protocol set forth in the Orientation film. Around the perimeter of the room were various other machines, including mainframe computer components, reel-to-reel tape drive units, and two oscilloscopes. A countdown timer located on the wall above displayed the remaining time before entry of the Numbers was required.
Living area[]
The living space was the largest part of the Swan where the occupants of the station would spend their time when not working. This area had many conveniences: a bedroom with a set of bunk beds; a bathroom with working sink, shower and hot running water described by Kate as having a sulphur smell; miscellaneous exercise equipment; a washer and dryer; a dining nook; a central kitchen area equipped with an oven, stove-top and sink; and a lounge area equipped with a record player, LP collection, well stocked bookshelves, a ping-pong table, and a painting of a tree. A small cabinet contained an injector and a number of vials of a strange DHARMA vaccine. On the ceiling near the armory is a blood stain from Radinsky's suicide.
Bookshelf[]
The Swan's bookshelves contained a number of titles, including:
- After All These Years
- Dirty Work
- High Hand
- An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge
- Our Mutual Friend (brought there by Desmond)
- Rainbow Six
- The Brothers Karamazov
- The Third Policeman
- The Turn of the Screw
Surveillance telescope[]
The living space also was equipped with a system used for surveillance of the facility. A telescope could be pulled down out of a small opening in the ceiling. A small control panel nearby allowed the manipulation and movement of mirrors throughout the facility. An operator could look through the telescope via the mirrors and observe all parts of the station. A separate mirror was stationed at the foot of the shaft at an angle allowing the operator to observe the hatch opening far above. Template:Crossref
Why a telescope would be installed instead of some sort of security camera system similar to other stations on the Island is unknown. While the telescope would be unaffected by the station's latent electromagnetism, the control panel operating the mirrors clearly would be affected. The Swan also was equipped with hidden cameras that could be monitored from The Pearl. Template:Crossref
Pantry[]
The pantry was opposite of the living space's lounge area. The pantry's shelves were well stocked with food and other supplies from the periodic resupply drop, including notable products such as Apollo Bars, DHARMA Ranch Composite, peanut butter and shampoo. Template:Crossref
The Swan was constructed hurredly when it was realized that the electromagnetic source they had drilled to would need to be released on a strict schedule. It's function was crucial and the repercussions of its failure made it a sort "bomb shelter," a fall-back position that could be needed to sustain it's personnel independently for a substantial period of time. And it did in fact do this from the time of the Purge until the Crash of Oceanic 815, so that the Swan was the station last occupied by the DHARMA Initiative, in the form of Inman, who was still there when Desmond arrived. Thus it was crucial that the Pantry be well-stocked.
Armory[]
Adjoining the living space's lounge area was a gun vault. It contained a wide and formidable array of weapons, including pistols, semi-automatic rifles, bolt action rifles, assault weapons, shotguns, and grenades. The door had a combination lock that was changed several times by Locke. Template:Crossref
After the weapons were removed, the room served as a holding cell for Ben, starting with the episode "One of Them".
Blast doors[]
Inside the Swan were a series of blast doors designed to seal off the living space and the computer room during a lockdown incident. A message would sound over the speakers notifying the occupants of the upcoming event, after which the blast doors would descend and the electrical power would be interrupted, causing the lights to flicker. It was theorized by Charlie that the lockdown may have something to do with the periodic resupply drop. Template:Crossref
A lockdown incident unexpectedly occurred while the survivors were holding Ben prisoner, during which Locke's leg was crushed beneath the blast door near the mural. After Ben crawled through the vents to push the button, the normal lighting completely turned off and a different set of ultraviolet "black-lights" turned on. This revealed a large hand-drawn map on the blast door, supplemented with numerous equations and notations written in English and Latin. Template:Crossref There is a second layer of notation that can be seen under different lighting. The second spectrum includes additional information regarding other island locations including the Barracks, the Hydra, and the Looking Glass. Template:Crossref
Kelvin told Desmond that he had learned from Radzinsky how to fake a lockdown by touching two bare-wires together, forcing the blast doors to come down. This allowed them to work on the blast door map. At a later point, Desmond triggered the blast doors to come down as part of his and Locke's plan to keep Eko out of the computer room in order to not push the button. After manually initiating a lockdown, Locke destroyed the computer, which ensured that a system failure would occur. Realizing what they had done, Desmond was then forced to trigger the fail-safe, and the entire Swan imploded. Template:Crossref
Ducts and crawlspaces[]
The Swan also possessed a number of airducts and crawlspaces. Ducts large enough for a person connected the armory, computer room and pantry via the ceiling. Several floor openings in various parts of the station also allowed entrance to a fairly extensive underfloor crawlspace. Numerous pipes and cabling were seen in this area. There appeared at one time to be a means of access to the sealed-off area of the station, although it too was found to be blocked with concrete. Sayid guessed that this area was part of a geothermal generator providing power for the station. Template:Crossref
Also in a small alcove down here was the fail-safe switch. In the event of a system failure (i.e., failure or inability to follow the protocol), the fail-safe could be manually activated to terminate the electromagnetic anomaly. Desmond was forced to activate the fail-safe after Locke destroyed the Swan's computer. The resulting discharge caused the entire station to implode. Template:Crossref
The Incident Room[]
In the video game Lost: Via Domus, Elliott Maslow discovers "The Incident Room" on the other side of the door sealed by concrete. The Incident Room was accessed by a tunnel and a large locked door near the exterior of the Swan. Template:Crossref The Incident Room can be seen on the blast door map and is located a very short distance away from the Swan. Template:Crossref On one of the blast doors in the Swan, a small map showing the route to the Incident Room's entrance can be seen on the second spectrum. Template:Crossref
The room contained a large reactor surrounded by severely damaged equipment. The reactor was tilted to one side, and discharging arcs of electricity and a watery fluid. The reactor had the appearance of two large electromagnetic coils suspended over an excavation into the Island. Unlike the Swan, the Incident Room's machinery is in a state of disrepair, possibly due to the Incident. The Incident Room also has its own computer. Template:Crossref
Blueprints[]
Radzinsky was building a scale model of the geodesic dome on a set of Swan blueprints in the Flame when interrupted by the arrival of Jin. Template:Crossref
- A number of blueprints of the Swan station's interior design are found on the Season 2 DVD special featurette "Secrets From the Hatch".
- There also appears to be a blueprint on the DHARMA van road map. Template:Crossref
- A floor-plan blueprint appears in Template:Mag of Lost: The Official Magazine in an advertisement for a free poster that comes as a subscription reward.
- The Incident Room appears in the video game Lost: Via Domus. The room's look and design was made to look like what the creator's had envisioned, through never-before-seen blueprints given to the game developers by the Lost set crew.

Electromagnetism[]
Under normal conditions, the Swan is adjacent to an unusually strong magnetic field. The field is noticeably stronger in the main corridor near the door that was sealed off with concrete. The concrete is estimated by Sayid to be eight to ten feet thick. Even sealed away, the magnetic source behind the concrete was strong enough to attract the key around Jack's neck, making it visibly move towards the wall. Template:Crossref On several occasions, the field has grown to immense strength during "system failures" capable of destroying the station. Template:Crossref
It is not clear exactly what took place when Desmond turned the fail-safe key, although it appears the magnetic source was completely destroyed. The drastic shift in the magnetic field resulted in the discharge, the implosion of the station and caused Desmond to temporarily shift in time Template:Crossref.
In the Season 2 DVD featurette "Secrets from the Hatch", Damon Lindelof described the Swan station:
“ |
The function of the Hatch, what it is built for, is because there was this accident here. Basically, if you were to perceive the fact that the Hatch is a structure that is essentially a big thumb, and that thumb is sticking in a dike. And that dike is holding back this massive electromagnetic anomaly that is just sort of illustrated on the other side of this wall that makes Jack's key rise. That's what the design is. |
” |
In the Season 3 DVD featurete "Access: Granted", Damon Lindelof described the electromagnetism:
“ |
Let's just say, theoretically, inside the Island there was this ball of electromagnetic energy. And, let's just say, there was a group of people—we’ll call them the DHARMA Initiative—sort of drilling around, and doing general futzing on the Island, and they accidentally drilled into this hole, and suddenly that entire ball of electromagnetism became untapped, so they built this Swan station above it, in an effort that it wouldn’t get completely out of control. So, by plugging that hole, you don’t actually do away with all the electromagnetism. It's still there. |
” |
Trivia[]
General[]
- Of the Season 2 main cast, only Claire and Shannon never appeared in any scenes in the Swan.
- For the first four seasons, the only time a survivor referred to the Hatch as "the Swan" was when Eko referred to it as such when looking at Locke's map. Every other time, it had been referred to as "the Hatch". Template:Crossref Sayid became the second Flight 815 survivor to use the station's correct designation, during his drug-induced interrogation by Oldham. Template:Crossref
- Swan is the Coptic name for the Egyptian city of Aswan, the site of the modern day Aswan Dam. This links to Kelvin's Dam (theory).
- A female swan is called a "pen" (which is also an abbreviated version of Penelope).
- In the Season 2 DVD featurette "Secrets from the Hatch", production designer Jim Spencer says about the hash marks seen covering the wall in Template:Crossref: "These may be the days, they may be the weeks. But there's 9,000 hatchmarks here." If these marks represent days, pressing the button could have started in early 1980.
- The skeletal remains of Roger Linus were found wearing a Swan jumpsuit in the DHARMA van, but it is unclear if he was ever an inhabitant of the station. Also found in the van was a road map showing a dirt road leading to the Swan station. Template:Crossref
- In the special feature Access: Granted on the Lost: The Complete Third Season (DVD) Blu-ray edition, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse said that it was indeed Walt who communicated with Michael on the Swan computer.
Cultural references[]
- The constellation Cygnus, or "the Swan", is also known as the "Northern Cross" because of its distinctive shape. The tail of the swan is marked by the bright star Deneb, Arabic for "tail". Three fainter stars cross the line between Deneb and the star at head of the swan, Albireo.
- Swan in Latin is Cygnus.
- The names of the stations seem to be related to the god Apollo from Greek mythology. Swans are sacred to Apollo, and circled around him when he was born.
- In Hinduism, the Sanskrit word for "swan" is hamsa or hansa, and is used as the vehicle of many Hindu deities, such as the goddess Saraswati.
- In Irish mythology, the Children of Lir were trapped inside a swan.
- In Finnish mythology, Kalevala is a book, and considered an epic poem. Kalevala is said to be the National Epic of Finland. In Cantos 11–15, The main character Lemminkainen must kill the Swan of Tuonela. Tuonela means the land of the dead. "Swan of the land of the dead"
- Taiwanese performance artist Tehching Hsieh created an art performance in 1980–1981 in which he entered a room and punched a punch clock once per hour, every hour, for a full year. Photographs he took during this performance show him dressed in a one-color worker's uniform not unlike the DHARMA outfit.
- The Black Swan Theory is about events that have a large impact, and are rare and hard to predict. These are called "Black Swan Events"
- In the early models of the hydrogen bomb circa 1950, the initial U-235 atomic bomb used to trigger the device is known as the "Swan". This is the small, heavy, explosive-bullet-in-tube atomic weapon that Sayid removes from "Jughead" and manipulates to trigger on impact causing the incident. (The secondary larger U-238 bomb is called the "flute.")
- "Leda and the Swan," a poem by W. B. Yeats questioning if man is ready for god-like powers, comes from a Greek myth in which Zeus disguised as a swan rapes Leda who then gives birth to Helen (of Troy) and Pollux (divine "twin" to Castor, son of Leda's mortal husband).
- In Hans Christian Andersen's tale "The Ugly Duckling," the title character turns into a swan.
Production notes[]
- According to the Season 2 DVD featurette "Secrets from the Hatch", the Swan interior was originally inspired by Tomorrowland at Disneyworld. The featurette describes Tomorrowland as being decorated how people in the 1970s pictured "the future".
- The set dressing of the Swan is somewhat different between the opening scene of "" and subsequent appearances. This included things such as the bed being next to the computer, the type and placement of lamps, the style of record player and arrangement of records, as well as the relative cleanliness of the living quarters. These discrepancies led some fans to incorrectly conclude that there were two separate time lines. In reality, the producers simply decided to dress the Swan differently between its first and subsequent appearances.
- The armory was subsequently enlarged when Henry Gale became a prisoner.
- Hurley at one point comments that the washer and dryer are newer than the rest of the appliances in the station. This is an in-joke reference/cover to a prop error in the design of the Swan. Template:Sourceneeded
- The Swan's implosion crater appears somewhat different in "第6季 第1集" than it did when first seen in "". This is likely dramatic license.
