The Black Rock Meeting

I've listened to Lost Explained Part Two and the author mentioned that Man in Black appeared as Richard's wife Elizabeth while he was handcuffed. However, for Man in Black he needs a body to transform in dead person. How would he do that? What are you theories? Did I miss something?

Episode SOS

There's some really sad episodes, most obvious ones being where people die, but for some reason this episode always makes me ball my eyes out😭😭 just the love that Bernard has for Rose and him wanting to get her back home so bad only for Rose to tell him shes cured as long as they stay on the island 😭😭 my god, water works

Who is your Dickens?

Desmond Hume said he’s read everything Charles Dickens has written.

Do you have an author like that? Someone whose writing is so beautiful that you want to soak up every word?

The closest I have is John Steinbeck.

Question about episode 5x10: He’s Our You

This is the forth time that I rewatch Lost (that still remains the best show I’ve ever watched) and I’m aware that this is one of those questions where the answer doesn’t really matter to understand the show but I’m just so curious and haven’t find an answer here or on Lostpedia.
>
What kind of substance Oldham forces Sayid to take in order to make him tell the truth on episode 5x10:He’s Our You?
I theorized that might be Penthotal or Sodyum Amytal which are two barbiturates that make people drowsy and less guarded but they don’t guarantee the honesty of the user (I have kind of an amateur passion about psychedelic substances and stuff like that).
As far as I know there’s no substance that 100% guarantees that the user will tell the truth.
Another guess is that the substance was not a known existing drug but, instead, was Island-exclusive and so was part of the special, mystic and unique aspect and properties of the Island. Maybe obtained from a native plant or something like that.

This was probably, like many other things in Lost, meant to be free interpreted by the watcher. But I would like to know, if you ever wonder about that, what are your thoughts about it.

Every passager/crew was a candidate?

Black smoke kills the pilot off the bat. The guys does absolute nothing in the island and dies straight away, minutes after waking up. It was stabilished MiB couldn't kill candidates as long as they were candidates.

So Jacob brought the pilot for no reason? The pilot was not a candidate from the beginning and was brought on the island for nothing? Yeah Lapidus was supposed to be the pilot and he overslept, like...really? Jacob couldn't call the guy?


Also, how MiB could kill Mr. Eko? The guy was clearly in a improvement and betterment path...Jacob decided he was not a candidate anymore and MiB could kill him? Or Mr eko was never a candidate and was randomly brought to the island?

New Man in Charge question

Why did Hurley want the two men to stop sending the food drops? Don’t Hurley, Ben, and Walt all need to eat food still (especially given Walt’s affinity for Dharma granola bars)?

Are there any atheists or non-religious fans who still feel a deep connection to Lost?

I’m not religious, but Lost is still the most profound piece of media that I have experienced and it hits so hard for me. I know the show leans heavily into faith and spiritual ideas, but I wonder if others interpret it, and ending specifically, not through the lens of religion. Does Lost's own internal lore and mythology provide enough context to interpret the ending without the framework of any religion, or were we supposed to see it as religious, regardless of which one?

First time watcher

I'm on the 5th season of my first time ever watching the show. I think it's interesting how they're trying to take custody of Aaron away from Kate, and Jack is actually his uncle. I know Jack and Kate aren't even really together at this point, and I doubt it would legally matter that Jack is Aaron's uncle, as he would probably go to more immediate kin.

Just thought this was neat, what do you guys think?

Hi! I have fond memories of the old lostpedia message boards while the show was airing. I used my Reddit name as my login. I was just wondering if anybody migrated here? NAMASTE!
