From Lostpedia

Personally, I think the episode Dave was specifically written to address/debunk the fan theories that the Island is all just a hallucination a là Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge. (I mean, really, if it were just a figment of someone's mind, how cheated would we all feel? Surely Identity is one of the worst movies ever made; no one wants to recreate it as a seven-season TV series.) But, hey, who knows. However, User:Drinn, I deleted some of your theories on the matter (there was no radio transmission from the authorities saying "there were no survivors," it was Bernard on the other end saying "we're the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815") and cleaned up the spelling and grammar quite a bit. --Joezoo 05:58, 6 April 2006 (PDT)

• Wow. You really think Identity is one of the worst films ever made? I really liked it. I happened to agree that I don't think it's a hallucination, but I do believe that (while unlikely) a group hallucination is a very plausible and interesting solution. I wouldn't be disappointed or think it's a cop out at all. Personally, I think the script in the glass box marked "In Case of Cancellation - Break Glass" may use this premise to tie up all the loose ends. --Sid67 17:59, 7 April 2006 (PDT)

I agree. All this theorizing about everyone being patients at the mental institute is way off track! --Stew Erickson 06:03, 6 April 2006 (PDT)

Yes, the fact that the spelled out the theory onscreen is proof that it isn't true.  ;-) --Uth 09:57, 6 April 2006 (PDT)

Hurley _visited_ Leonard?

Did Hurley visit Leonard after being released or was he still a patient in the first flashback in the hospital? --Jambalaya 02:38, 7 April 2006 (PDT)

He visited the hospital after being released as seen in episode 18 of season 1. --Rufus 05:10, 7 April 2006 (PDT)

Yes, User:Rufus is right. He went back to talk to Leonard after he won the lottery with the numbers. This was along the same timeline that he went and visited (the deceassed) Sam Toomey and his wife, Martha Toomey. --MisterHighway 7 April 2006

Here's a new one: Anyone who has Season 1 on disc, is Libby visable anywhere in episode 18 where Hurley does go back to Santa Rosa Mental Institute to visit Leonard? --MisterHighway 7 April 2006

Re-watched the Santa Rosa Scences from episode 18 again this morning and couldn't see any sign of Libby or anything else of importance --Rufus 05:46, 7 April 2006 (PDT)

Although the character of Libby was planned at the time, the actress had not yet been chosen at the time of that episode.--Tricksterson 10:52, 8 April 2006 (PDT)

The chalkboard

Can anyone make out what the patients at Santa Rosa are writing on the chalkboard in the flashback scenes from Dave?--Rufus 05:20, 7 April 2006 (PDT)

Mental HEALTH Institute?!?!?

I created this file a while back (before I was a registered user), but I omitted the word "Health" from the title. Any objections to forwarding to Santa Rosa Mental Health Institute or simply Santa Rosa? (by the way I haven't figured out how to forward articles) --BigSteve777 14:00, 7 April 2006 (PDT)

You can create a new article, copy all material (edit, copy/paste) to the new article and then write in the old one just one line: #REDIRECT [ [title of the new article] ] --aurora glacialis 14:03, 7 April 2006 (PDT)

You should NOT do that. Instead use the "Move" button and type in the new name of the page. -- Lostpedian 14:05, 7 April 2006 (PDT)

Is that function avaiable to regular users??? Didn't think so. --aurora glacialis 14:06, 7 April 2006 (PDT)

I am a regular user. Look for a "Move" button at the top of the page, or a Move link along the left side. -- Lostpedian 14:10, 7 April 2006 (PDT)

Aurora isn't a regular user, the only way to see a regular user's page would be to to create a new user without sysop rights. I don't remember having a move option in my regular user days, and there is no move button when you're not logged in. I have to assume I've forgotten the move button from my regular days or you're not regular or you're using some funky script. --skks 19:59, 7 April 2006 (PDT)

Emily Annabeth Locke's Admission form to Santa Rosa Mental Health Institute

Take a look at the picture on the right. The place is named Santa Rosa Mental Health Institute.

No, it says Santa Rosa *linebreak* Mental Health Institute. -- Lostpedian 15:03, 7 April 2006 (PDT)

That picture is way too funky to have any definite answers based on it, however, it does say "Santa Rosa Mental Heal...." and "Santa Rosa .... Health institute". I don't think it's far off to interpolate "Santa Rosa Mental Health Institute" from that. --skks 19:59, 7 April 2006 (PDT)

View-Source Secrets

Moved from article page 4/16/06 - this does not appear to have any relation to Lost. srigenetics.com is not registered to ABC/Disney and has been a registered site since 2001.
   Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 21:34, 16 April 2006 (PDT)

By going to the 'home' section of the Santa Rosa Institute site, right clicking and selecting 'View Source', additional information is found -

• Various keywords, some with obvious ties to the institute such as Genetics, Longevity, DNA and Lifespan.
  • More bizarre keywords: Vampires, Zombies.

The last two keywords make a little more sense when placed in the context of a link found only on the 'home' section: the FVZA museum, FVZA standing for Federal Vampire and Zombie Agency. Currently, there appear to be no ties between the FVZA and the Lost survivors. Santa Rosa Institute Site

Marcus?

Can someone tell me who Marcus is? I can't remember him. Which episode did he appear in? --LostCat 13:53, 17 May 2006 (PDT)

He was in Dave. http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Awww.lost-tv.com%2Ftranscripts+marcus --Ernest 14:02, 17 May 2006 (PDT)

I created a page for him. --Ernest 15:35, 17 May 2006 (PDT)

Anthony Cooper

One of the listed theories is that Anthony Cooper might have had Emily Annabeth Locke commited there, sugessting a link between the hospital and Widmore. Is there any evidence that Cooper is affiliated with Widmore? I've only heard of one source for such a claim, and it's widely accepted as fan-driven. --Wintermute 08:19, 17 July 2006 (PDT)

There is no evidence that Cooper has anything to do with Widmore. It is easy to have someone commited you don't have to pull some strings.--CaptainInsano

That's what I thought. Some people seem very keen to link any random background character to DHARMA / Hanso without a scrap of evidence. --Wintermute 08:55, 17 July 2006 (PDT)

Dave is not a patient at the Santa Rosa Mental Health Institute

I don't think he meets their criteria. Anyone have any evidence that they treat both real and imaginary people at this institute? :) -Silence 04:14, 15 July 2007 (PDT)

Yeah, good point. I'll remove it now. --Blueeagleislander 04:48, 15 July 2007 (PDT)

where is this place it does not say in the article where it is

Libby's husband

The line about Libby said, Its is unknown if she was admitted or if she was there for another purpose. If it were the latter, it is most likely due to her husband's death.

This doesn't make any sense to me. What would her husband's death have to do with "another purpose" for being in the hospital? I think the author may have meant "the former" (that she was admitted), but even then this speculation seems like a stretch. --Evan Prodromou 20:26, 31 January 2008 (PST)
