Was Sawyer really abandoned when the tail-section survivors ran? 71.135.248.76 06:12, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
I didn't tape this episode, but I could have sworn that Sawyer was present in the final scene, Mike and Jin were carrying him in the stretcher and that is why they were at the tail-end of the group when Anna-Lucia shot Shannon. Doesn’t make sense to carry him all the way only to drop him for The Others. Shifter55 16:34, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
Sawyer was not visable in the final scene, but there's no way knowing if he was abandoned or not. - The monkeyhate 11:43, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
Sawyer was not "abandoned", when the camera pans round to capture Anna-Lucia you can see Mike and Jin in the background having trouble carrying the stretcher, then Mike proceeds to lower the stretcher to the ground. At this point the camera shows a close up of Mike's shocked face.
Trivia
In the final scene, Walt is wearing a different shirt than the first few times he is seen - is it the shirt Shannon has his dog smell to 'track' him? Shifter55 18:32, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
It doesn't look the same, but I don't want to say no. No is too definitive. If someone could tell me how to do screencaps of AVI files (whenever I try it doesn't work) I could compare the two shirts (not sure whether or not I'd be allowed to post them on here because of any possible copyright violations that may breach).
There is no evidence that Shannon was shot by Ana-Lucia, or even shot at all. The creators have left it so that it looks that way for now. However, much speculation is that Shannon was stabbed and Ana-Lucia shot the attacker. Until later episodes, when the truth comes out, I am editing the article so that it says something less definite. The speculation is possible, but Ana-Lucia, along with Michael, had a very shocked, suprised look on their faces at seeing Sayid and Shannon.
I can't believe that you have changed that. It was clear she was shot we heard a gun shot, heard a scream, saw shannon covered in blood from a wound looking remarkably like a bullet wound to the chest and Ana-Lucia holding a smoking gun less than 20 feet away. Secondly of course she looks shocked wouldn't you if you had just killed an unarmed girl and in Michaels case seeing one friend die a painful death in another's arms. It's like saying Sawyer didn't really shoot the sheriff in the first series as we didn't actually see it therfore it might not have. Your logic is to be honest completely ridiculous considering you place less value to the evidence I have set out and instead rely upon in your words "much speculation" to reach your conclusion.
I'll excerpt what I wrote in Talk:Shannon Rutherford about 67.86.8.154's vandalism of the Shannon Rutherford article:
Stabbing versus shooting
An anonymous person seems intent to inject his pet theory that Shannon was stabbed by John Locke, rather than shot by Ana-Lucia. While it may very well turn out that she was not shot, that's not what we, as viewers, have so far been presented in the episode. As such, any claim that Shannon was stabbed by an unknown assailant is Original Research and not to be included in the article. When the next episode comes around and Shannon's fate is revealed, we will know more fully who/what was responsible. Until then, please stop trying to formulate alternatives to what the show itself wants us to see. Save the theories for fan sites. Persons who persist in re-including misinformation or Original Research will be warned in accordance to WP policy, and may have their editing privileges suspended by an admin.
It comes down to this: the episode synopsis should present what viewers actually see— in effect, what the show's creators wants us to see at the time— not the inferences or guesses that we might make about what we think actually happened. If the word "speculation" is associated with anything that you might want to include (as in the first paragraph in this sub-section), then it's definitely not something that should be in the article. — LeFlyman 02:27, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
The 'Abandoned' episode description can be changed to say that Ana-Lucia shot, and killed Shanon. I have an official source. If you look at the Lost section of the ABC Web site, you'll notice that there is now an official Lost podcast. In the 2nd podcast, executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse confirm that Shanon is dead, and Ana-Lucia is the one that shot her. Stilgar 19:59, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
Also in a preview of this coming Wednesday's show, Ana-Lucia mentions that she killed someone he loved.
It was recommended by an anon user that Season 1 have one overlying (perhaps one overal and several character-based) summary paragraph. For those looking to join the show (or have joined the show) for season 2, the episode guide may be too long, giving too much extraenious information for someone who simply wants to be kept up to speed. The current summaries serve to inform a viewer of what they missed in any given episode, however for an overal rundown its is likely too long.
Well then it looks like that settles it! Hate to say I told you so!!!
Where did the information under the Collision episode come from? Did it come from ABC? Because I know not all of that could be inferred from the episode preview, especially the bit about Sayid kidnapping Ana Lucia. Tigger89 03:31, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
All these info's come from special email that people sign up for at the oceanic airline website. They revial a small info about future episiods. 71.136.191.59 00:04, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
We need the expand the description of Collision. I added a few lines, but it has to be much bigger.
This, under "Trivia" is incorrect: "It is also interesting to note that the rest of the crossword puzzle is just a random assortment of letters, except for the word Gilgamesh." While many of the words are indeed nonsense, many aren't. I see: Ghent, ransacked, tiers, ate, led, Alain, tense, Edgar, age, log, its. Look at these screen captures of the crossword and the clues (go to previous pic for clues pic): http://www.lost-media.com/modules.php?name=coppermine&file=displayimage&album=820&pos=225 Only Ghent and Gilgamesh seem to be correct answers from the clues we see, but in any case it's incorrect to say that Gilgamesh is the only actual word we see in the puzzle.
There was no "flashback" in this episode. The only argument that there was a flashback would be because the other episodes had reached a certain point in time, and this covered a time period already covered in previous episodes. However, if you were to use that argument, you would have to count Locke and Kate's entire plotline in "Adrift" as a "Flashback" because it ends at the same point as "Man of Science, Man of Faith". -- DDG 18:53, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
I recieved an email from the writing team, which anyone could get from the oceanic arline website, and they said that the storytelling for this episode would be different from original episods. 71.136.191.59 00:02, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
From the preview from "The Other 48 Days," it becomes obvious that Shannon is dead. So why was that removed from the session summary? Vahan010 00:13, 18 November 2005 (UTC) From Ask Ausiello:
AA: Can you confirm that Shannon was, in fact, shot? Fans have been speculating that she looked like she had a stab wound. Carlton: She was shot. Damon: People are getting a little too… AA: They're reaching a little too much? Carlton: They totally are. And she did not have a Dharma Initiative stamp on her.
It says that Jin only has new scenes. But, Michael has a new line "What the hell was that?" after Shannon gets shot.- JustPhil 02:58, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
It is implicit from ther excerpt below that the episode is on Kate. -- Q: On Nov. 30 we'll finally learn what Kate's precrash crime was that landed her in so much hot water. Any other big flashback revelations this season?
Damon: In the next string of episodes, one of the really compelling backstory elements is what happened to Jack's marriage. We think Julie Bowen is amazing and she and Matthew Fox are so great in scenes together, and I think the audience is really curious as to what went wrong there.
Carlton: And you should pay attention to Mr. Eko's stick. -- http://www.tvguide.com/news/askausiello/
--
I've been lurking here a little while and am struck by the way people fail to grasp what "speculation" means. If an interviewer from TV Guide states "implicitly" that an episode will contain flashbacks about Kate, then it's still speculation. It should only be considered "confirmed" after the episode is shown -- or if one of the producers (or an official press release) says "The Nov. 30 episode contains a flashback about Kate and the crime she committed." Mind you, if some sucker were willing to bet me that the flashback would not be about Kate, I'd take the bet and almost certainly win. But that doesn't mean it isn't speculation. -- Clampton 20:15, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
Someone put information under that episode(like someone did for collision), that I'm not sure where it came from. I removed it, so if it came from an official source could someone please cite it and put it back? Thanks. Tigger89 15:32, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
The summary contains the line: "Ana loses her calm, pulls her gun and shoots a TV set". Watching the episode back, she does no such thing. She merely pulls a gun and the guy drops the TV in fear. Could someone do a eloquent edit please? -- Ernst blofeld 22:39, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
It also says she asks for suplies from the hatch, but she just asks for suplies in general. She (nor any of the others there) know about the hatch.
There is an item in the trivia section for "Collision" as follows: "Ana-Lucia's mother mentions that Jason McCormick was arrested at Echo Park, linking it to the hatch." What does Echo Park have to do with the hatch? Could someone flesh this out a bit? Ahkond 02:44, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
The summary for "Orientation" refers to Helen as a member of Locke's support group. I thought that she was its leader, and a therapist or counselor of some kind (which would make her relationship with Locke ethically dubious). Can someone with a copy of the episode check to be sure? — Josiah Rowe ( talk • contribs) 09:02, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
HELEN: Probably a good idea. You know if you get kidney cancer you've only got one.
LOCKE: That's funny. I'm sorry if I ruined your meeting.
HELEN: Oh hell, you just said everything I've always wanted to say in there. Most of the time I want to stand up and scream: get over it, freaks.
In the summary for 'Man of Science, Man of Faith', it seems to be missing the dialog between desmond and locke. At first, Desmond thought Locke was someone he was expecting (a replacement?), but then latter asked him a riddle (I think it was "What does the snowman say to the other snowman?"). I could be wrong, but I think this is important to the plot and will be elaborated in future episodes if Desmond comes back or if the person Desmond was expecting actually shows up.
What are the sources for the recent outburst of new episode titles? I have left comments on User_talk:84.77.44.234, User_talk:219.88.183.60, User_talk:24.205.248.71, and User_talk:68.115.21.32 and temporarily enclosed all future episode information with the tags that make them not appear. Thanks. — MATHWIZ2020 TALK | CONTRIBS 21:50, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
Someone edited the man of science man of faith section yesterday and changed all of the instances of hatch to Hatch(well, they missed one, but they tried to change them all). When I checked, the rest of the article seems to use both hatch and Hatch. So, is it capital Hatch or just hatch? Tigger89 13:36, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
