There’s something odd about the Oceanic Hotline Number…
So I was giving Lost a second watch and I’ve made it to Season 4 episode 2. I saw the scene where the fake plane is being broadcasted and I decided to call the number on the screen. Well for some reason it took me to a phone sex hotline… Don’t worry I didn’t click on any of the numbers I was told to press lol. I thought this was a joke from the producers but when I looked up the number on Wiki, it gave a full trannoscription of what’s supposed to be said and it didn’t mention anything about the phone sex at all. Is this a recent change? Did a phone sex hotline take over the number? I highly doubt this is what people heard when the number was fresh. Has anyone here also called the number?

Torches
How easily they have torches bothers me. Everyone has a torch and no one makes them.
Torches aren’t simply a rag on a stick. They require oil, resin, pitch, something.
One time I saw Locke wrap cloth around a stick, but only once.
I get it’s not a sexy thing to add to a show, but it bothers me.

How come the Lost cast weren’t really prominent outside of the series?
Except for Charlie and Kate going in to the LOTR/Hobbit franchise, I haven’t really seen any other actors/actresses elsewhere. I think I saw sayid in Sense8, but other than that, no one…
Maybe it’s a series thing? E.g the Friends cast with the exception of Jennifer anniston.

This is the scene Sawyer was watching from Little House. Hits hard. I figured I'd share.

S3 EP20, why doesn't Richard tell lock or Ben?
1. In S3E20, Locke asks Ben in front of the others including Richard and Ben to take him to Jacob. If Richard is the only one actually seeing and hearing Jacob, why doesn't he oust Ben as a fake or tell Locke that Ben will take him to a fake trip?
2. When Ben asks John in the cabin if he is seeing Jacob or acting like he is talking to Jacob, is he simply lying or trying to manipulate him?
3. Furthermore, how is Ben leading everyone and telling everyone he communicate with Jacob with Richard being around and knowing this is not the case?
4. When Richard talks with Jacob, doesn't Jacob tell him that Ben is not actually in contact with him (Jacob)?
5. Why isn't Ben shocked by hearing "help me" and seeing the Cabin shake and all that since her never had any experience like that before?

Question about Eloise Hawking
First off -- I'm a superfan as many of you are, and I like to think I "get" much of the lore and mechanics of the show. I fully understand "whatever happened...happened" and the unavoidable path of time and and destined events.
One detail jumped out to me during a recent rewatch, though --
In S3, "Flashes Before Your Eyes," we get our first glimpse of Desmond's mind going back in time, to England 1996. He obviously knows what happened around that time -- he didn't buy the ring, which lead to his eventual split with Penny -- something that's mentally plagued him since, so he decides he's going to do things differently.
We are then treated to a good deal of exposition from Eloise Hawking, where she explains some of the "rules" of time and the impact that someone jumping between eras can or can't have.
She notes the red shoes guy, which suggests she's already lived that -- and further, her "you don't buy the ring" and her knowledge that Desmond must eventually go to the island says to me that she is ALSO "visiting" her past self from some future point, and is aware that Desmond is as well.
How can this be? Is this something she can do at will, or does she get "stranded" at some point in the future, and is thus permanently in her "past" and able to interact with and guide Desmond, etc? Her knowledge of Daniel's invariable fate makes perfect sense to me because that happened in her past, so she remembers it -- but how does 1996 Eloise know the red shoes guy will die? Who Desmond is and what he actually did the first time he lived that time? That he will eventually end up on the island and set off a chain of events that will bring O813 and the candidates to the island?

Cobtroversial opinions
I’ll be straightforward here, feel free to share your own unpopular opinions and disagree with mine as well.
-Season 5 isn’t the best season, but it’s definitely the best written.
-Jack during seasons 3–5 was annoying.
-Overall, the secondary characters are better than the main ones.
-Hurley is unnecessary at times.
-Juliet is a top 5 character.
-Desmond > Locke.
-Kate is the worst character in every sense.
-Eloise Hawking is a heroine.
-Daniel Faraday was the most tragic character.
-Jacob is a selfish villain.
-Boone could have been great if he had stayed alive.
-“Live Together, Die Alone – Part II” is a top 3 episode.
-The end is perfect.

Among Us
Okay okay, random I know, but has anyone ever thought about how the music from the game Among Us feel straight out of Lost? I’ve been rewatching the show and I can’t stop thinking about the similarities 😅 Am I the only one?

Any theories about how young Ellie came to be on the island?
She's a pivotal character, playing crucial roles for several characters and storylines. She's linked to the island's history, the Others, major characters, events and even a location. She also fulfills similar narrative functions as Richard -providing information, linking the outside world and helping people on and off the island-, yet they never went deeper to give us more info. Didn't think about it til now tbh.
