I was watching my Season III DVD (Best Christmas gift ever!). In the episode with Jacob - the volcanic ash (or whatever it is) surrounding his shack could be to keep Jacob in. I don't know why I was assuming it was to keep people out but in re-watching it he is asking for help. What if Jacob represents "Good" and Ben represents "Evil". Does Jacob need help because Ben has him trapped in the circle? Ben was so agitated that Locke could hear Jacob he shot him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.213.198.197 ( talk) 18:58, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
The supposed attorney's name is Abbadon. Do any of you think it is worthwhile mentioning that the hebrew word in fact means 'destruction' and in some contexts 'hell'? Or am I just looking for things that are not there? Chelman ( talk) 21:56, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
It seems to me that the reception section of this article is biased towards stating only the positive reviews. As per Wikipedia's policy, some of the negative reviews should also be listed for a neutral point of view. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Da rulz07 ( talk • contribs) 12:18, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
Just looked over the article - after seeing the episode last week (a week after the US) and my computer having been down the last two weeks - with a few comments, considering that in the future this may be nommed for good or featured status by thedemonhog (or maybe someone else!). Anyway.
So that's my two cents (I saved a few Australian 2-cent coins from back in the day - sorry, terrible humour) if it's worth anything. Overall it is a well-written article, a pat on the back to everyone who's given up their Friday nights for a good cause. ;) • 97198 talk 07:23, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
I just noticed that in the scene where Hurley sits in the interrogation room and Charlie appears in the water, he's got "they need you" written on his hand. It's not really mentioned in the text until the next scenes so I thought someone could include it. A reference to this is included in Wikipedia articles on Charlie and Hugo, so I thought this would be a good place to put it as well. Karafior ( talk) 01:17, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Technically, Dominic Monaghan was starring in this episode, not guest starring. He conserved his "starring" status from the previous seasons, and only ceased to be credited as starring as from episode 4.02. I'm not sure how to indicate this in the article, though. Aridd ( talk) 14:46, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
The guest stars in the infobox need to have their characters listed. Ophois ( talk) 16:43, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
Ben shoots Locke in the stomach in one of the last episodes of season 3 and is just about to shoot himself when Walt appears. In the season 3 finale he is still injured and walks gingerly but throughout this episode he is completely healed. I know The Island has some sort of healing ability but this all happened in the same 24 hours. The island doesn't usually heal so quickly and even if he had healed he would still be covered in blood, have a hole in his shirt etc. Is this worth mentioning or is it revealed in a later episode? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.26.93.13 ( talk) 23:19, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
not sure if it's original research or not, but in the production section it mentions easter eggs referencing the mythology of Lost. When Jack and Hurley play Horse, they stop after "HO". I counted out the letters numerically, and H is the 8th letter of the Alphabet, O the 15th. Another reference to the numbers, since they are even in sequence. I could add it, but I'm not sure if it's considered original research, since I don't think it's mentioned anywhere else, and not directly noted in the episode. 75.158.132.201 ( talk) 17:35, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
The first sentence in the article currently reads "[ABC's] television drama series Lost," but the version on the main page of Wikipedia today (in the featured article box) says "[ABC's] drama television series Lost," which is rather awkward. If someone knows how to change the version on the main page for today's visitors, it might be a good idea. 131.158.237.205 ( talk) 14:56, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
someone likes pie, i guess.
