Pregnancies

Shouldn't the the occurrences of pregnant women dying be included on this page?--Enzo ValenzettiEnzo-Valenzetti 14:26, 17 June 2007 (PDT)22.26 16th June 2007

A New/Old Mystery?

I have searched the site and have not found a link or write up in regard to the electrical tubing leading from the ocean, to the beach, and up to Danielle Rousseau's (old) camp, as found by Sayid (& Hurley?). Should the link come off of the theory of the underwater station The Flame? Or should it be a mysterious portal? I think it bears mentioning either way, but I'm new, and thought I should ask.

Namaste,

why did the directors mess up the timeline for the crash?

the flight departed sydney in the afternoon. if you look at hugo's ticket on the oceanic booking screen I think it was schedule for 2:55pm.

from the pilot the radio went out when they were six hours in, they turned back to land in Fiji. When they hit turbulence they were 1000 miles off course. Implying, of course, 8 hours into the flight (Assuming 500mph).

For compmarison purposes, If you go to qantas and check QF391 it departs Sydney at 13:10 and arrives local time Fiji 18:55. about 7pm. So a 2 hour later flight would arrive in Fiji around 9pm. If they "turned back to land in fiji" it should be nightfall., probably around midnight.

for the month of september: sunset is around 6pm. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/astronomy.html?n=82&obj=sun&month=9&year=2006&day=1


when the plane crashes on the island it appears to be mid afternoon.


--Slamkal 11:26, 3 June 2006 (PDT)

  • The island has a time dialitaion effect thing going on, so it could be that it was night when they crashed, but on the island its still day.

Daka 09:18, 17 May 2008 (PDT)

"is his father in the island?"

this is the question that desmond said to claire in "live together.." pointing aaron...and i think: why ask this? (since it is not a common question to do, in order to be the first contact...) notice about it: the others are interested in the father-son relation of michael-walt... and they, now have the list with four people: jack (his father is on the island; dead, but he is on it) kate (his father is militar....and there are a lot of military-realation with the people on the island...maybe he is on it) hugo and sawyer.......hum....i don`t know.....—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fuzter lost (talk • contribs) .

Pictures

Anyone like what I did with the pictures and stuff?--Peephole 09:10, 25 July 2006 (PDT)

Yeah but the discharge one is a bit bright, just looks white. There isn't really much of an alternative though I'll grant. Overall looks pretty damn cool --Nickb123 (Talk) 02:22, 7 August 2006 (PDT)

Island

uh....shouldn't the island be included here? i mean come on guys--Two Coyotes 01:27, 4 August 2006 (PDT) I don't have the ability to upload a picture, but if someone would put the island on the article page, again I'd really appreciate it.--Two Coyotes 23:08, 17 September 2006 (PDT)

I was just wondering if it should be included, because it's the place where most of the other mysterious things are happening, I thought it was kind of covered already. That's all. Someone else is welcome to upload if they feel differently, I guess. --PandoraX 23:38, 17 September 2006 (PDT)

This page could do with a few additions, I reckon...

As someone said, "The Island" itself is a mystery. Where is it? How do you get there? Why can't people leave?

Then, what about Walt's special abilities?

Also, doesn't Desmond deserve a page of his own for his premonitions? Because they're hardly comparable to the dreams that other characters have had.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by DHARMA Chief (talk • contribs) .

The Mittelos Bioscience

The Mittelos Bioscience should be added as a new mistery since its already on the main page.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jakovexc0 (talk • contribs) .

Connections to each other

Loads of the characters have had crossovers before they were on the island. There are too many to mention at the moment but dosent anyone else think this is a bit mysterious? Its all a bit much to be a coincidence I think. - H4eafy

Patchy

Nickname Eyepatch name should be replaced with Patchy's real name - Mikhail Bakunin.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jakovexc0 (talk • contribs) .

The Man From Tallahassee

Anthony Cooper's appearance on the island is one of the most mysterious events ever on the show. Mention should be made of him, or at least the box.--MacCruiskeen 07:26, 26 March 2007 (PDT)

  • Totally agree. Answers to "The Box" might be forthcoming nearer to the end of this Season, but this is one mystery that should totally be added. -mr_tee_canada

Eko's Brother

Can we change "Eko's Brother" to "Yemi"? I using names is a better approach --Mr. Crabby (Talk) 13:47, 8 April 2007 (PDT)

  • Absolutely agree with this one too. We should be specific on names and such... we are a wiki, after all! -mr_tee_canada

Jacob

After this episode, The Man Behind The Curtain, I really think we should put Jacob as a mistery, since he can be invisible.

  • Jacob is without a doubt a good candidate for mysterious happenings. Arrowoftime 12:55, 10 May 2007 (PDT)

I see dead people

I would like to nominate that several of the existing Mysteries be consolidated into one: that is, Visions (including dialogue with) of people that are believed to be dead. This would include Jack's father (Christian Shephard), Eko's brother (Yemi), and Ben's Mother. These are people that are either known or widely accepted to be dead, and the Island's living relatives have clear visions and conversations with.--Timbenj77 09:05, 10 May 2007 (PDT)

I agree with this, but would like to have a section for Visions, not just visions of dead people. I nominate to include Dave and Kate's horse. Also, can we delete mysteries that have been explained, such as the Polar Bears? -- RandomStranger

I totally agree, but the session could be about people who have visions, and that would include Jack (his father), Hurley (Dave and the bird), Eko (Yemi and Ana-Lucia), Kate (her horse), Desmond (flashes)and Ben (his mother). Maybe also Locke (Is Jacob a vision?)

Walt

Just about everything about Walt is weird and mysterious.--Overdubbed 19:55, 3 February 2008 (PST)

Update

This portal is in serious need of an update. With the Season 3 finale looming there have been so many new mysteries incorporated into the show, and so many old ones resolved that this is starting to look very outdated.


Here are some suggestions, which I think should at least be considered:


Remove:

Distress Signal - Why is this still considered a mystery? It was Rousseau, that's all there is to it.

Polar Bears - This has been pretty well resolved. Dharma kept bears, Dharma was killed off.

Button Pushing - Season 2 finale explained the purpose behind the button. It's not a mystery anymore

Orientation Films - Again, not sure what the mystery is here. They are films created to explain the work of the Dharma stations.

Shark - Answered in same fashoin as polar bears.

Numbers? - Not too sure about this one but TLE did explain what they meant, their origin etc. They are still quite mysterious though.

Merge:

Healing and miracles - Aren't these pretty much one and the same?

Christian and Yemi - With Ben's mother and the appearance of Boone and Ana-Lucia in visions I think that a more fitting category would be "encounters with the dead" or something similar.

Horse - While not a merge in itself, the horse is one of a series of similar encouters. A seperate link is probably warranted for these.

Dave? - Possibly an encounter like the above. Again, am unsure about this one.

Add:

Widmore - Widmore is just as prominent and mysterious as Hanso now.

Jacob - With TMBTC, I'd say that Jacob is more than just an "Other". Jacob is a whole mystery in his own right.

Dissapearance of 815 - This is one of the most prominent mysteries in the show now.

Cooper - He may be dead, but Cooper's appearance on the island is an un-explained mystery that probably warrants a mention.


These are just some suggestions. I'm sure there are other changes which are equally warranted. Either way this is seriously outdated.


--Paulus2 09:05, 11 May 2007 (GMT)

  • I agree that a lot of mysteries are curiously absent from this page, but I don't think mysteries that have been explained should be removed. Rather, a design overhaul is needed. I propose a table design more like the one in Portal:Transportation and Portal:Items, but with a a colour scheme to denote if a mystery has been explained (for example: green background on the entry if it has been explained, red background if it hasn't - sort of like the accomplished/failed backgrounds in A-Missions and O-Missions). MacCruiskeen 09:39, 13 May 2007 (PDT)
  • I think the biggest mystery that needs to be added is the disappearance of 815 (which was mentioned above). BETTYFIZZW (Talk) 18:18, 18 June 2007 (PDT)

agree--Connor401 06:08, 3 September 2007 (PDT)


  • Yeah, a HUGE update is needed here, not to mention the pics that illustrate the various categories...and are all wrong! (for instance a polar bear instead of the pillar of smoke) - TheAma1 14:33, 4 February 2008 (PST)
  • I agree a big update is needed. One of the biggest mysteries to me at the moment is the discovered wreckage of 815 and why the outside world thinks everyone is dead. I dont really have any experience in editing wikis so if anyone could volunteer i think it'd help!

I do keep wondering why some stuff is on here as a mystery when it isn't really. Dave, the Hurley Bird and Kates Horse are really linked in with Visions and Dreams and unlike things like the Statue (which we know is going to come back) they only occured in one episode (well Dave did, can't remember if the Hurley Bird and Kates Horse made more appearances).Wild ste 07:55, 20 February 2008 (PST)

  • agree, can some one try and unlock this, or update this.

Eyes

i have noted that charictures eyes change color, this should be added as a section.

New Format - DESPERATELY NEEDS PICTURES

I've updated this page to the new Portal format, plus included a bunch of mysteries that were missing. I'm sure I'm missing a few things still so feel free to add anything. I've also added a "Solved"/"Unsolved" template so that we don't have to argue about removing any mysteries once they've been solved. The major thing, though, is that we need new pictures for all the mysteries listed (even the ones that currently have pictures, because they're being stretched). I'll work on some of them, but if anyone would like to help, that'd be great. The template uses images that are 123 pixels wide and 90 pixels high. Thanks and I hope you like the new structure. :)  Jimbo the Tubby  talk  contributions  17:37, 10 June 2008 (PDT)

    • I did two, but for some reason the images are blurred.... anyone know why? I did the dimensions exactly as you specified, Jimbo. New format looks good by the way. :)--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  01:50, 11 June 2008 (PDT)
      • Thanks. :) I looked at your two images that you did (the Hatch and the Cable if I'm not mistaken) and they don't look blurry to me, at least no more than could be expected for non-HD screencaps that have been shrunken. Good stuff!  Jimbo the Tubby  talk  contributions  02:01, 11 June 2008 (PDT)

Haha, I totally thought "Claire's message" was from the season 4 finale. I totally forgot about the seagull :p--Halcohol 12:46, 11 June 2008 (PDT)

  • Haha same here, until I clicked on the image. :p Hence me changing the photo (too confusing!) - TheAma1 15:12, 11 June 2008 (PDT)

Wow, that came together really fast. Thanks for the help with the pictures, that was great. Can anybody think of any mysteries that we're missing? There were a few in my head last night but when I went to write them down, they were gone.  Jimbo the Tubby  talk  contributions  13:29, 11 June 2008 (PDT)

  • I reorganised the mysteries in each category in the order in which they arrived in the show and/or were mentionned for the 1st time (hence the black rock in 1st position - let's not forget "le rocher noir" in the distress signal of Rousseau at the end of Pilot Part II). - TheAma1 15:37, 11 June 2008 (PDT)

Looks great, nice job! Robert K S (talk) 17:57, 11 June 2008 (PDT)

The fake Flight 815 should definitely be added. Andris22 08:23, 18 June 2008 (PDT)

Page got messed up

I dunno what happened, I'll assume that it was an accident, but somebody went and reordered all the mysteries alphabetically, arranged the images to be rows of less than 5, and (worst of all) changed half of the pictures into images that were stretched or distorted, as well as getting rid of one of the sections altogether. I've restored it to a previous version, I just wanted to leave a message saying that it happened.  Jimbo the Tubby  talk  contributions  20:10, 18 June 2008 (PDT)

The Temple -- Solved?

The Temple has a green box around it, implying we know what it is. I don't recall seeing it or hearing anything about it except that it is where the others were hiding.--Lost Logos 01:31, 20 June 2008 (PDT)

  • You are right. It's not solved at all. I changed it. --Anfield Fox 01:37, 20 June 2008 (PDT)

That was my bad, I copied and pasted the char portal and forgot to change the once letter that determines colour. Thanks for fixing it.  Jimbo the Tubby  talk  contributions  12:24, 20 June 2008 (PDT)

Horace

The dimensions of the image for horace is messed up. It needs a new image. --   Connor401    talk    contribs    email   16:41, 21 June 2008 (PDT)

Working on it! -- Sam McPherson  T  C  16:47, 21 June 2008 (PDT)
What should the proper dimensions of the images be?--   Connor401    talk    contribs    email   16:49, 21 June 2008 (PDT)
Fixed. And for all AA portals, the dimensions are 122x90 pixels.-- Sam McPherson  T  C  16:52, 21 June 2008 (PDT)
123x90, actually... Though it probably wouldn't matter that much.  Jimbo the Tubby  talk  contributions  15:21, 22 June 2008 (PDT)
...no, 122 is correct. See Image:Portal-Sawyer.jpg, Image:Portal-Jack.jpg, Image:Portal-Locke.jpg-- Sam McPherson  T  C  15:34, 22 June 2008 (PDT)

Huh... looking at the source code for the portal, it specifies 123x90 on the div tag and 122 on the actual image width. Is this an error or am I just reading it wrong?  Jimbo the Tubby  talk  contributions  15:44, 22 June 2008 (PDT)

I'm not sure. But the dimensions are definitely 122x90.-- Sam McPherson  T  C  15:50, 22 June 2008 (PDT)
