Well, we are in the midst of the holiday season and fastly approaching the end of 2009. 2010 will soon be here, and with it, the sixth and final season of LOST! We are in the waning days of the last hiatus of LOST, and the sixth and final season is on the horizon which means that Lostpedia will soon be in full throttle, giving you the lastest updates, articles, and news from the Lost universe. I hope that everyone here has a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!!!
So again it seems like these posts start with an apology - the Internet is still down, and this little blogger is not impressed having to source a way to get on and talk about Lost stuff. It's a shame that one can't so much blog with the stuff when it comes to an Internet experience. Business should resume next week, and thanks to the commenters so far not busting my chops for the radio silence - loving that we have some understanding folk who'll give benefit of the doubtiness.
If you read the comments for the last post, you'll know I held off before doing a post cause I wanted all the details together. In future, we're going to just update posts with additional clues as otherwise we just have way too many for one frame. So subscribe to us so you know, or follow us on Twitter for updates.
Thinking we should just code all these hints now Biblical style - so this one is 5:1. DCPB has updated with an image of a bookstore. Quick on the heels of mystery, folk over at DarkUFO quickly recognized it as the University of Arizona bookstore. Sure enough, if you check out the bookstore website then you'll find a corresponding image in the slideshow.
DCPB updated with an image advising us to go to Crumbs in LA or NYC today to get the new DHARMA URL. It seems a bit short notice this time, but hey we still got the URL. Thanks to Zort70 for letting us know that it's icangetyoupeanutbutter.com
DCPB has a new hint for Frame 4. The 13 black circles form a P-like shape, though I like commenter Catie's opinion that the 13th circle shouldn't be there, as though the other 12 are part of something and the 13th messes with it. So where does that get you - a baker's dozen... fitting in with the previous Crumbs bakery theory.
Well the dust has settled from Frame 3, and now it appears we have crumbs for Frame 4. DCPB has updated with a pic of the words "Wall Street / Larchmont" in a sort of normal font with pixels and specks falling off it.
This is breaking news (well 10 mins ago), so forgive shortness. It's just to let fans know a URL appeared at the bottom of the screen during Attack of the Show, according to sources, sending us to wewerecaughtinanet.com
Well done to all the peeps who worked out that AOTS stands for "Attack of the Show" - a TV show on the G4 channel. DCPB has now been updated with a picture of some legs and the word "DVDuesday". If you go to the Attack of the Show website on the hosts page, the legs pic matches a full image of the show's hosts, confirming this is the place to be.
Well with Frame #2 is already sold out, we now have a cryptic clue for Frame #3 on DCPB. Check out the 2D barcode to the right (aztec code, semacode, QR code - whatever the correct name is!). Definitely the first clue to date in this little experience that requires special technology decoding. But then again all you need is a fancy cellular phone to translate.
I got my timezones mixed up again, so mucho apologies that this post is rather late - don't shoot me if you wanted a really early issue number for frame 2! Anyway, so a good few Lost fans went to Boston today, and some (only 8 apparently) got hold of a beautiful skateboard, which on the back had the name of a website ThatAndBasketWeaving.com
e similarities and differences between Jack Shephard (man of science) and John Locke (man of faith). The science vs. faith theme reaches the pinnacle in "Exodus," and is explored in further detail in this episode. Flashbacks show us that Jack is not a believer in miracles, but his strictly scientific viewpoint comes to a halt when his patient, Sarah, recovers from a near-fatal spinal injury. Relating this episode to Season 5, we see Jack undergo some major change in character from Seasons 3-5. Jack is a firm and adament believer in science, doesn't believe in the supernatual. Once Locke dies in "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham," we see Jack make a major leap of faith (seen prominently in "316"). Christian Shephard delivers one of my all-time favorite quotes in LOST history, telling Jack that "false hope" is still hope. This episode is a masterpiece, and will forever remain one of my favorite LOST episodes ever.FAVORITE QUOTE:
CHRISTIAN: You might want to try handing out some hope every once in awhile. Even if there's a 99 percent probability that they're utterly, hopelessly screwed, folks are much more inclined to hear that 1 percent chance that things are going to be okay.
JACK: Her spine's crushed. I tell her that everything's going to be okay -- that's false hope, dad.
CHRISTIAN: Maybe. Maybe, but it's still hope.
that is revealed in this episode is the framework for the mythology that we see in later seasons. Seeing the Swan orientation film for the first time was mind-boggling and overwhelming, and much like Locke, I wanted to watch it again (and again, and again). Flashbacks show us more of Helen and John's relationship, and how Anthony Cooper continues to get in the way of them. This episode only skims the surface in DHARMA; we learn much more about DHARMA in later seasons, especially Season 5, when the survivors time leap to the 1970s when the Initiative was in its heyday.FAVORITE QUOTE:
CHARLIE: Yeah. Quite simply, John, there are a lot of secrets around here, and I'm tired of being at the bloody kid's table. I got Claire's baby back. I didn't go swanning off to the Black Rock on the bloody A-Team mission, but I would have if someone had asked me. I think I'm entitled to some sodding answers around here.
Episode 5 - "...And Found"
In this episode, Sun loses her wedding ring. She searches for it desperately, and in the process, destroys her garden in anger. Locke approaches her, saying that he used to get angry all the time. He claims that he isn't lost anymore, and says that the only way something lost can be found is if you stop looking for it. Across the Island, Michael goes off looking for Walt (which becomes a common occurence this season). Eko and Jin go looking for him, and leave Ana Lucia, Sawyer, Bernard, Libby, and Cindy. One of the most classic scenes of LOST is in this episode: when Jin and Eko are in the jungle, they see a group of Others pass by. This scene raises a few questions: what was that group of Others doing in the jungle, and where were they going? In flashbacks, Sun meets Jin for the very first time.
FAVORITE QUOTE:
LOCKE: I'm not lost anymore.
SUN: How did you do that?
LOCKE: Same way anything lost gets found -- I stopped looking.
r Adam was killed. Shannon's stepmother Sabrina abandoned her when she took the money left by Adam, and left none for Shannon. Ana Lucia sheds more light on the "Other" issue when she explains to Michael what happened on the first night of the crash (these events are later seen in "The Other 48 Days"). While the Tailies trek closer towards the beach camp, Cindy ominously disappears. They know that it was the Others that took her, and they keep moving on together. The group hears whispers (the sign that the Others are near) and start to run. At this same instant, Shannon and Sayid see Walt in the jungle. Shannon runs after him, and is shot by Ana Lucia. Sayid comes into the scene, and holds Shannon in his arms as she slowly dies. Ana Lucia looks on in disbelief, astounding at what she had just done: murdered a fellow survivor.
tue (the same statues that are seen in flashbacks, and were used to smuggle drugs outside of the country). Charlie and Eko go into thr jungle, towards the drug smugglers' Beechcraft. The Monster appears, and encounters Eko face-to-face. For the first time, we get a very long and full view of the mysterious Monster (that has been heard in the jungle since "Pilot, Part 1"). What is very interesting to me is that the Monster leaves Eko unharmed here. However, this is not the only encounter Eko will have with the Monster. In "The Cost of Living," Eko will encounter the Monster again, but this time, he will be killed. As seen in "Dead Is Dead," the Monster (also known as Cerberus by the DHARMA Initiative) judges people, and can take the form of other people (including Yemi from 305, and Alex from 512). I think that we're going to have to wait until Season 6 before we get the full story of the Monster.
feeling that Charlie is using again, and when he follows Charlie to his stash, he takes it, saying that he hgave Charlie a choice before, but not anymore. After Charlie awakes from one of his dreams, he is holding Aaron precariously near the ocean. Claire and the survivors find him, and Charlie is baffled as to what happened. One of my favorite moments in this episode is when Sawyer tells Hurley to make his move on Libby, calling him three hilarious nicknames in the process (Jabba, Jethro, and Hoss). The climax of the episode comes when Charlie sets a fire near the camp, causing all of the survivors to go to help put it out. Charlie uses this diversion to kidnap Aaron, and take him to the ocean to try and baptize him. After he reluctantly returns Aaron, Locke punches him three times, and the survivors leave him helpless on the shore.
of his position in Paik Industries. On the Island, Locke enlists Ana Lucia to talk to Benry about his balloon. Ana convinces him to draw a map to the balloon, and she leaves with Sayid and Charlie to look for it. She does this without talking to Jack or Locke, since they are too worried about Locke and Jack. On the Island, Sun takes a pregnancy test and discovers that she is pregnant. She is unsure of whether or not the baby is Jin's (and we won't find out until late season three episode "D.O.C."). Sun tells Jin the whole truth about his infertility, and Jin believes that it's a miracle. Th ending of this episode is one of the greatest endings of any Lost episode ever; Ben says that if he were one of them, he would make his map lead the survivors into an ambush, and force a trade, him for them. He then says, "got any milk?"Episode 17 - Lockdown
There are many surprising twists and amazing scenes in this episode. It is also a Locke-centric, which are typically full of mythology, mystery, and intrigue. Anthony Cooper comes to Locke again in flashbacks, and this time he wants help. Locke feels reluctant at first to help the man who conned him and stole his kidney, but eventually he agrees. When Helen finds out that he returned to help his father, she leaves him, saying that Locke chose him over her. This devastates Locke, who was planning on marrying her. I have a lot of sympathy for Locke, but I really don't understand why he helped Anthony. He could've returned the money to the rightful owners, or kept it for himself, but why give it to the con man who ruined your life? I know Locke did it because he wanted to improve upon their relationship, but I don't think their relationship could ever be improved. On the Island, Sayid, Ana, and Charlie find Gale's balloon. At first this leads us to believe that Ben was telling the truth, but Sayid's unrelenting skepticism comes back, and he digs up the grave, discovering a black man by the name of Henry Gale.Episode 18 - "Dave"
Since Season 1 I had wondered about why Hurley never lost weight - this episode answers that question. He has a secret stash! Unlike Sawyer's stash (which includes medicine, guns, magazines, etc.) Hurley has a stash of food that he's been hiding from the camp. With the help of Libby, Hurley decides to destroy his stash and begin a new life on the island. Just after he does this though, they discover the food pallet that has fallen from the sky. Along with Hurley's temptation for food comes someone named Dave. Dave is Hurley's subconscious, and flashbacks show us that he prompted Hurley to eat when he was in Santa Rosa's. We're led to believe that 
Dave isn't imaginary for most of the episode, but when Dr. Brooks reveals a photo of Hurley's arm around thin air, he begins to realize that he's making Dave up. In the Hatch, Sayid interrogates Ben, who is now under captivity as an Other. Ben is once again caught in a lie when Sayid asks about Henry Gale; Ben says that Henry was dead in the balloon when he found him, but Sayid pulls out a 20 dollar bill with writing from Henry. Sayid threatens to kill Ben if he doesn't talk to him about the Others, but Ben says that He would kill him if he did. Hurley follows Dave to a cliff. Dave tries to convince Hurley that everything he sees is all made up and imaginary; he says that's why Hurley's lottery numbers are the same numbers in the Hatch, and he says that no girl like Libby would ever like Hurley. Hurley almost listens to Dave, but Libby comes and convinces him that everything they see is real.
FAVORITE QUOTE:
CHARLIE: Locke said some kind of blast doors trapped him in the Hatch. Maybe it was because of this -- so no one would see who dropped it. Any of you guys see a plane last night?
SAWYER: Yeah, I saw it, Tattoo. I just decided not to tell.
SAWYER: Hold on, take it easy. You guys are like locusts. How about a little order here?
CHARLIE: Shouldn't we let someone a little more trustworthy take care of this?
SAWYER: Like you, babynapper?
Episode 19 - "S.O.S."
Rose and Bernard are two of my favorite characters of LOST. Ever since season one, these characters are usually on the sidelines, and rarely are involved in the main plot or storyline. I love seeing there backstory revealed in this episode. Flashbacks show us that Rose had cancer, and Bernard brought her to Australia to see Isaac of Uluru, a faith healer. Rose doesn't expect him to fix her, and she tells Bernard that she has been healed so that he'll stop trying to do something. On the Island, Bernard gathers the survivors in an attempt to make an SOS sign across the beach. Rose is opposed to the idea, much to Bernard's surprise. Rose thinks that if she leaves, her cancer would return. I think that this is a very underrated episode, and is a very emotional on-island and off-island story that deepens our understanding of Rose and Bernard's relationship.
FAVORITE QUOTE:
BERNARD: Okay, 2 months we've been on this island -- 2 months. And already we have a water trough, and we've got a food pantry. And people are taking showers in your hatch. Have you forgotten that we all crashed on this island? It's like none of you want to go home again.
CLAIRE: How can you say that? Of course we want to go home.
BERNARD: Well, then why aren't we doing anything about it?
HURLEY: Dude, we, like, built a raft. But it got blown up.
BERNARD: Okay, so what are we doing now? That pallet of food had a parachute which means a plane dropped it here which means there are other planes that fly over the island. So, we are going to build a sign -- a massive sign along the beach. So that way if a plane flies over or a satellite takes pictures from up there -- we want to make damn sure that they know we're here -- that they know about us.
ROSE: Maybe we should speak to Jack about this first.
BERNARD: Well, do we have to run everything by Jack? I mean, he's not the president. He's a doctor.
ROSE: You're a dentist.
Episode 20 - "Two for the Road"
After being with the Others for several episodes, Michael Dawson has finally returned. We are led to believe that Michael found one of them, followed him to the Others' camp, and then returned to the beach. Little do we know that Michael is really working for the Others now. Ben has been plotting to use Michael in order to capture Jack, Kate, and Sawyer for his master plan. His plan, of course, is to manipulate and exploit Jack's emotions so that he will agree to do the spinal surgery on Ben. Flashbacks in this episode show us the relationship between Ana Lucia and Christian Shephard. Ana agrees to be Christian's bodyguard in Australia. Christian goes to see Lindsey, and wants to see his daughter, Claire Littleton. The most shocking part of this episode is the ending. This is truly the most shocking and unbelieable moments in all of LOST history. Michael shoots Ana Lucia and Libby, and then enters the armory, and shoots himself in the arm. It is now when we finally realize that Michael has been working for the Others, and "Henry Gale" now escapes.
FAVORITE QUOTE:LOCKE: So, it worked?
JACK: What are you talking about, John?
LOCKE: Your deal -- the trade. If they gave us Michael...
JACK: They didn't give us anything.
LOCKE: So, it was just a coincidence that he came wandering out?
JACK: I was shouting; he heard my voice. What, they just let Michael go hoping we would keep up our end of the bargain? You think they're on the honor system?
remembers seeing the ? on the blast door map, but he is losing faith in the Hatch and the Island. Eko is convinced, though, that it is important that he and Locke find this place. Eko and Locke find the drug smugglers' plane, which happened to land right on top of the ? (Pearl station). I find it very interesting that the drug plane and the Pearl station are both in one location; both of these locations are fundamental aspects of Eko's faith in the Island. Inside of the Pearl, the dynamic duo views the Pearl Orientation video, hosted by Mark Wickmund. This video strengthens Eko's faith in the Hatch, saying that their work is now more important than ever. Locke, however, feels like the Hatch was a colossal joke, and that they're slaves if they continue to push the button. These two different faiths in the Hatch becomes a very important theme for the finale.Episode 22 - "Three Minutes"
Michael Dawson has a very intricate and unique storyline in LOST. Every since "Exodus," when Walt was taken off the raft, Michael has become intent on finding him. In "The Hunting Party," Michael goes off searching for Walt, but is captured by the Others. The Others make a deal with Michael: he must free "Henry Gale" in order to get his son back. Michael goes to the extreme, murdering two fellow survivors in the process. In this episode, we see the on-island flashbacks that detail Michael's time with the Others. We see parallel events from "The Hunting Party," when Jack, Sawyer, and Locke went searching for Michael. At the Others camp, Michael sees another hatch, and the Others' lifestyle. They live in tents and yurts, eat fish, and have few guns. This is all a facade, though, and when Walt visits Michael, he says that they're pretending. Overall, I really enjoy watching this episode, and feel that it's very underrated.
FAVORITE QUOTE:Episode 23 - "Live Together, Die Alone, Part 1"
Part one of the explosive season two finale starts off with the return of Desmond David Hume on his boat, the Elizabeth. In flashbacks, we discover that the Elizabeth was named after Elizabath "Libby" Smith, one of the Flight 815 survivors. I always wonder what it would have been like if Libby had survived; seeing Desmond and her boat that she gave him would've been quite the shock to her. Michael leads Jack, Kate, Sawyer, and Hugo (the four people on the list he received) towards the Others' camp. During their trek, the Hurley Bird returns. Michael attempts to shoot it, and realizes that his gun was never loaded. He is now suspicious, fearing that his cover has been blown. In the Hatch, Locke and Desmond force a lockdown, keeping Eko outside. Locke is convinced that the button is fake, claiming he has never been more sure about anything in his life. As Sayid, Jin, and Sun are sailing toward's the Others' village, they see the four-toed statue. Little do we know that this statue is an essential part of LOST's mythology, and is the home of Jacob, the leader of the Others. In a flashback, we see that Desmond was dishonorably discharged from the Royal Scots Regiment. He sees Charles Widmore, who pays him money so that he will leave Penelope. The on-island flashbacks in this episode are very interesting, and show us more of Desmond's time on the Island with Kelvin. One day, Desmond finds Kelvin in the Swan basement, holding the key above the fail-safe. Kelvin says that the Incident was a magnetic leak, and the button has to be pushed to discharge the buildup. He says that with a simple turn of the key, all of this goes away.
FAVORITE QUOTE:
LOCKE: That in a minute that computer's going to start beeping, and when it does you're going to let it go. You're going to let it run down to zero, past zero. And you're not going to push the button.
EKO: But I am going to push the button. Why wouldn't I?
LOCKE: Because you don't want to be a slave.
EKO: I am a slave to nothing.
LOCKE: You're a slave to that, just like I was. So I'm going to tell you again—don't push it.
EKO: Do not tell me what I can do.
LOCKE: You cannot push that button. No, it's not real. We're only puppets—puppets on strings. As long as we push it, we'll never be free!
EKO: Well, you're free now, John. Do not come back.
Episode 24 - "Live Together, Die Alone, Part 2"
The season two finale is an incredible episode, and is full of intriguing flashbacks, shocking reveals, incredible acting, and an unforgettable cliffhanger. Sayid comes ashore to the Island, and enters the Others' camp. He finds that no one is there, and that the Hatch opens up into the cliff. On the other side of the Island, Jack forces Michael to admit to his crime to Kate, Sawyer, and Hugo. Michael admits that it was the only way, and that he murdered Ana Lucia and Libby. Jack says that they have to keep moving, or the Others will kill them all. Flashbacks show us that Desmond follows Kelvin outside, discovering that he has been pretending to use his HAZMAT suit to deceive Desmond. This makes me wonder, why would DHARMA provide the Hatch inhabitants with the HAZMAT suits? Was the quarantine designed to keep them in the Hatch? Or was there really a sickness on the Island? Desmond discovers that Kelvin planned on leaving Desmond, and taking the Elizabeth back home. Desmond unintentionally kills Kelvin, and runs back to the Hatch to enter the Numbers. He is late, though, and a system failure is under affect. This causes the crash of Oceanic Flight 815 on Semptember 22nd, 2004. We see this day, Semptember 22nd, from numerous points of view.
In "Pilot, Part 1," "The Other 48 Days," and other episodes, we see the 72 survivors of Flight 815 crash on the Island. In "A Tale of Two Cities," we see the Others witness the crash from the Barracks, and Ben commanding Ethan and Goodwin to infiltrate the camps. And in "Live Together, Die Alone," we see Desmond Hume fail to enter the Numbers, causing the electromagnetic failure and resulting in the crash of Flight 815. At first you might suspect that this is all coincidence, but it is much more than that. In "The Incident," we see Jacob touch several of the survivors of Flight 815. Did this touch really alter their destinies? Or does free will still exist? Hopefully, many of these questions will be answered next season. At the end of this episode, we see "Henry" arrive at Pala Ferry as the leader of the Others; Michael leaves the Island, with Walt; Jack, Kate, and Sawyer are prisoners of the Others. In the final scene, we see Henrik and Matthias inside of a listening station. They see that an eletromagnetic analomy has occured, and they contact Penelope Widmore: "I think we found it."
DCPB has updated with new information on Frame #2. We're shown a photo of people queuing in a street and the words "Newbury" and "Weds". Now factor what what people have been saying about that red line from the Frame #1 video, August 26th, and it sounds like our frame will soon be released.
DamonCarltonAndAPolarBear.com has been updated with a YouTube vid of the event at Bardot in Hollywood, and at the start has some red text for a very brief moment. Not only is it brief, it's also really small - but seems like a little clue to when the next frame will be released... what can you guys make of it?
Wanted to take a little time to gather up info from the events of last night - apparently it was quite chaotic to find out clues and what not. Anyway, the event was in the nightclub which carried on like an ordinary night by accounts, though had a number of cool Lost touches to it. For instance, the Black Rock artwork was on the wall, there was a mock Swan hatch, a DHARMA logo. Twitter Hollywood Bob gives good coverage, and LostARGs have some good images.
DamonCarltonAndAPolarBear.com has been completely overhauled, now showing 16 picture frames, with the first of Paul, Damon, Carlton and Ronie Midfew (seen from only from behind). Clicking on it, or clicking on 'hub' takes you to your first hint... advertising Banana Split Sundaes - described as 'a house party... in a club!"FRIDAY – 4:08PM @ RONIE MIDFEW ARTS GALLERY - XXX XXXX DRIVE, BEVERLY HILLS*Note the address has been blanked out for obvious reasons. So the man in black is E. Sau. I wonder what the E stands for? Anyway, tomorrow sounds fun - Sau said no camera or recording devices... but a part of me feels like Paul will come through for us with some big sombrero or cowboy hat a la Homer Simpson. It would indeed be very interesting to hear or see Ronie Midfew, and also understand why THE MAN is specifically targeting our man!! BTW, Paul has said he'll ask Midfew some of our questions, so post them in the comments section on his blog without delay (the meeting will be happening soon!)
SEE YOU THEN – E. SAU
Paul Scheer was again active today - blogging some thoughts on Richard Alpert and also making a cameo on DocArzt's podcast to answer some questions. He mostly reiterates what we know, though clues that his new works on August 15th will be published on a new site. DocArzt comes up with an interesting theory that the paintings might be rattling Ronie Midfew's cage because of their content... they may in fact be inadvertently prophetic paintings of Season 6. A neat theory, and it would give a little verisimilitude to our current tale, explaining why Midfew Arts are gunning for Paul Scheer over copyright specifically and not the legion of other Lost fansites.
In the most recent issue of Lost: The Official Magazine (issue "It's Time for the Beginning of the End"), we got an even better glimpse of the statue of Taweret, which we've only seen from an odd angle.
