Thinking about what Goodwin saying about how The Others only take the good people. I think all the regulars have been revealed to have some kind of skeleton in their closet. Its not hard to imagine that the other unnamed characters who hang around in the fringes have done something, whether it's cheat on their spouse or yell at their kids, but what about Rose and Bernard? They have been very positively characterized so far, and it seems like they are loved by all the fans, unlike the other characters.
I wonder what dark secret they're hiding, or if they are hiding none at all.

What is the big mystery surrounding Kate’s character? So far, the show has presented four flashbacks about her past, and we’re still left with a lot of questions. Her background has been presented in a manner more vague than any other character. Why?
*Did Wayne molest Kate . . . or did they have some other kind of relationship? The show is very vague about this.
*Why did the U.S. Marshal arrest Kate at the bus station? Had she already left Iowa at the time of the arrest?
*Was she really married? And if so, who was he and how did their marriage end?
*Why did Sam Austen believe that unlike him, Kate was capable of murdering Wayne? If Kate had been molested, I could easily see him killing Wayne. Yet, he didn’t murder Wayne. Even more importantly, he believed that Kate could. Why?
I’m sure there are a few more questions about Kate, but at the moment, I cannot think of any.
-------
Will there ever been essay reviews for "Exodus I and II", "Adrift", "Collision", "What Kate Did" and "Fire and Water"?

I think you've listed the main ones for Kate. And really, when I look at them, they kind of all boil down into one big mystery - which is, what kind of person is Kate, really? Granted, we could say the same about any of the other cast members or, really any other human being. But I sort of feel like we've had more of the other character's inner lives or motivations revealed to us. Kate, we've seen actions, but not as much . . . what's really going on with her. As to the other analysis / reviews . . . . well, I know we have some folks who've volunteered to do upcoming ones, and we may very well have someone step up and back fill some of the missed ones. Someday. Heck, you could write up your own ideas and submit them.

I did a little google-fu to find translations of Jin and Sun's dialogue. This one looks good, though it only has season 1. www.lostlinks.net/translations.htmDoes anyone know of another site?

On other LOST forums, many fans have been complaining that the characters on the show are becoming increasingly darker. They want to see their favorite characters continue to overcome their personal demons, and not regress in any manner. Personally, I think the fans want the situation on the island to remain as it had been by the end of the season - you know, the whole "we are the world" mentality the characters seemed to have before Michael, Walt, Jin and Sawyer left the island on the raft.
I must be one of the few who like the darker direction that Season 2 is going. Mind you, I enjoyed Season 1 very much. But I honestly didn't think that matters would remain "peachy keen" between the Lostaways, as it had become by the end of Season 1. Let's face it . . . human beings are not capable of sustaining continuous positive relationships with each other. Personal demons and other problems always have a habit of getting in the way and I think that the Lostaways will have to learn - the hard way - on how to deal with them on a continuous basis. And it looks as if those lessons are about to commence.

And it looks as if those lessons are about to commence. I completely agree with you. The "honeymoon" period would be the time when everyone is trying to figure out and adjust to the situation, and that is definitely over. From now on we will be seeing the very difficult process of people getting to know their own--and each other's--limitations and dysfunctions in this setting. The common enemy may eventually unify them, once the Others are less ephemeral and everyone knows what they're dealing with. But then, I'm kinda talking through my hat here.

Random thing about the Lost numbers. Everyone's probably been through this before. Somebody in LJ-land thought maybe they were supposed to represent coordinates, i.e. 4.815, 162.342, which is in the South Pacific near Australia. Of course, you can fiddle with the decimal places and come up with a couple different places around the world. Discussion ThreadI tried to see them as coordinates in degree/minute/second form (thinking of Close Encounters), but ended up with a location in Africa. So, still nothing. It would make sense for a the radio or whatever to be broadcasting coordinates though. Also, is it possible to keep this thread towards the top of the first page? It keeps moving on down. If it's not on the first page, I think people will be less likely to see it and use it.

For all of you who, like Matthew, who dislike the <spoiler cut> character, you will be happy to know that <spoiler cut> have been fired due to the DUI charges. Apparently, ABC is too hypocritical to do the same with the likes of <spoiler cut>, who had his own run-in with the Oahu law.
I, on the other hand, will no longer be watching the show.

Has that actually been confirmed somewhere? I know rumors have been flying about certain characters for a while now, but has there been an announcement from TPTB at either Lost or ABC?

As far as I know, it's been confirmed. According to my source, <spoiler cut> had been informed, last month. <spoiler cut> IS NOT taking the news well, considering that <spoiler cut> had adhered to ABC's instructions regarding the DUI charges. I also heard that <spoiler cut> will be leaving. <spoiler cut> had protested against ABC giving raises to ONLY Fox, Lilly, O'Quinn and Holloway. <spoiler cut>
Also, J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindehoff are set to work on the new STAR TREK movie. Abrams and Lindehoff will write and produce; and Abrams will direct.

Dev originally had this on a episode thread, but I thought it might be more appropriate here: I origionally posted on the main S3 board asking about the www.retrieversoftruth.com website and how it tied in with the show. After a little digging I found they are all part of a game called Lost Experience. Read about it for yourselves but there are other sites: www.sublymonal.com/www.letyourcompassguideyou.com/www.hansocareers.com/Hopefully some of your questions regarding these sites can be answered via that link. I noticed somone posted about a hacker called Persephone... it's all part of the game so it appears.

From Entertainment Weekly: 2. DOES NBC'S HEROES TAKE PLACE IN THE SAME WORLD AS ABC'S LOST?(Too-Good-to-Be-True Conspiracy Theory of the Week!) ANALYSIS Roughly 13 million-plus Americans have fallen hard for Heroes, television's newest cult-pop sensation, and I am proud to say that I am one of them. My friends and family have applauded the expansion of my geek-TV interests; they were worried that Lost had begun to take over my life. Of course, Heroes isn't much of a leap from Lost, considering how much they overlap: Both shows have a diverse, multicultural, interconnected cast; fixations with fate, coincidence and destiny; mysterious comic books; an inexplicable recurring motif (in Lost, it's the Numbers; in Heroes, it's a helix-shaped pattern); a mythology grounded in weird science and possibly sinister scientific experimentation; and even a potentially superpowered kid with estranged parents. Hmmmm... In fact, after watching the most recent chapter in the unfolding Heroes saga, my conspiracy-theory senses began to tingle and twitch in that crazy Brad Pitt-in-12 Monkeys kinda way that makes my wife very, very nervous. Because it suddenly struck me that Heroes' fantastical premise — that human beings are breaking out with superpowers as an evolutionary response to environmental changes (overpopulation, global warming, war) threatening the survival of the species — is conspicuously similar to the sci-fi conceit of Lost's Hanso Foundation/Dharma Initiative mythology. And by ''conspicuously similar,'' I am indeed suggesting that both shows occupy the same creative universe. THEORY The mysterious island on Lost was a mad-scientist laboratory focused on accelerating human evolution that created the superpowered heroes on Heroes. According to the Lost revelations disclosed this past summer through The Lost Experience (and if you haven't seen the mother of all Lost orientation films, check it out here), the purpose of the Dharma Initiative was to develop radical scientific solutions that could save the world from an impending apocalypse, as predicted by a mathematical formula called the Valenzetti Equation. The Numbers belong to that equation; it seems that each digit in the sequence — 4 8 15 16 23 42 — is a value in the equation that corresponds to a key variable in Valenzetti's recipe for disaster. Those variables include overpopulation, global warming, and war — the same environmental factors that are (allegedly) triggering Mother Nature to sire a world full of X-Men on Heroes. Apparently, Dharma financier Alvar Hanso believed that if just one of the values in the Equation could be changed, Armageddon could be averted, or at least delayed. Dharma's activities on the island somehow had the ability to have an impact on the rest of the world, perhaps via the ''unique'' electromagnetic energy that radiates from the same section of the island where Station Three: The Swan was located. Remember the radio tower that was broadcasting the Numbers? It was basically a weather report, updating the scientists on the condition of the world; when and if they heard that the core values of the Equation had been changed, they would know that their work had succeeded. Alas, according to The Lost Experience, the Dharma Initiative failed to accomplish its mission. But what if the Dharma scientists did have an impact on the world, one that defied calculation and measurement at the time? Remember, Dharma was active on the island during the '70s — about the time that all the superpowered characters on Heroes were conceived and born. What if Dharma spiked the world's gene pool with some superpowered hooch? According to The Lost Experience, Hanso is affiliated with a prominent confectionary marketer called the Apollo Candy Company; maybe one of those Apollo candy bars gave Nathan Petrelli on Heroes a real high-flying kick, if you know what I mean. Okay, maybe I'm the one who's high. But I think there's enough reason to be suspicious, especially since the two shows in question share one unquestionable link: the creator of Heroes, Tim Kring, and the co-creator of Lost, Damon Lindelof, used to work together on Crossing Jordan and remain good friends. So: Are the brilliant buddies quietly engaged in some kind of clandestine creative collaboration? RESPONSE FROM HEROES CREATOR TIM KRING Hey! Look at this! Turns out we're onto something, at least in a wishful-thinking sort of way. Asked if Heroes and Lost are in a secret alliance, Kring says, ''Well... Damon and I did talk about a lot of stuff. And unfortunately, we're on different networks, because otherwise, a lot of those things would have been really, really fun to have done.'' By ''stuff,'' do you mean you guys actually discussed the possibility of mythologically linked shows? ''Oh, yeah,'' says Kring. ''We've talked a lot [in general] about how two shows could dovetail. But again, we are limited by the fact that we are on competing networks.'' But couldn't you guys conceivably do this idea without ever technically acknowledging it in any formal way? ''That's true. That's true,'' says Kring with a laugh.
