i still hold by my original predition...on page 20 or something..that says the island was some sort of top secret military research institute that was abandoned and swept under the rug
i predicted they were doing tests on animals and looks like i was right...
the "others" may have come across the island and decided to resurrect it for their own intents and purposes.

Here are some of the translations of the Latin phrases on the map:

Hic Sunt Dracones – Here be dragons
Ut sit magna, tamen certe lenta ira deorum est - The wrath of the gods may be great, but it certainly is slow
Liberte te ex inferis - Save Yourself From Hell
Cogito ergo doleo - I think therefore I am depressed
aegrescit medendo – the treatment is worse than the disease
Sursum Corda – Lift up your hearts
Malum consilium quod mutari non potest - It's a bad plan that can't be changed.

"sursum corda lift up your hearts "

"we lift them up to the Lord"

matthew fox doesnt handle being lost very well

Quote :

" I Think It’s Time We Consider Eating Each Other’s Flesh By Justin Droms Send Print Quiet down, everyone. If we could all just find our seats here. James? James, I’ll need you to sit down. Well, for two reasons: one, because I have the conch shell and two, because I’m motherfucking Matthew Fox. You shut your mouth when you're talking to Matthew Fox! Because we agreed that whoever has the conch gets to talk, James. Well has anyone else here been nominated for a Teen Choice Award? I didn't think so. No, Steve, nobody cares that you have a P-H-whatever. Yes, very mature, Steve. I’m sure we're all very amused at the idea of me having sexual congress with the conch. Okay, let’s quiet down. So far, there have been no rescue attempts and I think it’s reasonable to assume that it might be a while before we are rescued. Now, fresh water shouldn't be too difficult to find, but it will only sustain us for a few days. More importantly, we're going to need food, and I think we'll all agree that we only have one clear option. That's right—I think it’s time we thought about eating each other’s flesh. Matthew Fox's middle finger bitch! More on that later. Quiet down, please—I'm still speaking. Now, look at the ground. We started here, in Cleveland, and were headed here, south, to Akron. That's at least 40 miles, people. By my calculations, we veered off course to the west by at least 4—maybe 6—miles, thanks to James, who just had to go to the bathroom. Thanks a lot, James. So if we were headed south, but then turned west, and… Oh my God—that means we're 10 miles off course. They won't know where to look for us. James. James! Please get off your cell phone while I'm speaking. No, I don't care about this "triple A" business. We need to worry about surviving, not a bunch of crazy letters. Because I have the conch, that's why. Yes, I know it's a Starbucks travel mug, but we agreed that we would refer to it as "the conch" from here on in. Matthew motherfucking Fox agreed, that’s who! Now, which human we decide to feast upon is going to be—hey, I don't want to hear any more nonsense about the "Hardee's" on the other side of the "highway." Let's be practical, people. If you have to ask why Matthew Fox dumped a Diet Sprite on his head you're never gonna survive out here. Now, as I was saying before Steve interrupted me… Nicole, you've lived a long, healthy life, and, well, simply put, there's a lot of you to go around. This is not time to get offended, Nicole. Yes, 130 pounds is overweight. Well I think it is. Don't roll your eyes at me. You've lived a full, vivacious 26 years, and I think it's time you sacrificed yourself for the good of the group. Now is no time to be a coward, Nicole. Nicole's getting away, people! Steve, this is not funny! Shit—she's headed towards the Hardee's! Don't follow her, James! Steve! What's wrong with all you people?! We'll never survive if we don't stick together! We need to eat Nicole's flesh! Nicole, I want to eat your flesh! NICOLE! JAMES! STEVE! OH JESUS WE'LL NEVER SURVIVE! Oh, hi. Thanks for coming so quickly. Yeah, just a flat. It was pretty nasty out here for a while though. Lucky I’m used to being Lost. Did you hear what I said? Used to being LOST? Nothing? You don’t recognize me? Where have you been for the past year, on a desert island? Wow, even with the desert island thing, still nothing? I thought that would have done it. Oh well. Would you mind me asking you how much you weigh, sir?"

Widmore Labs

In Fire + Water there was a sign in the London Skyline for Widmore Construction. The sign turned out to be illegible, but it is known from the official podcast that this sign was posted in the episode. In "The Whole Truth", Sun obtains a pregnancy testing kit from Sawyer, which is labeled Widmore Labs.

wtf has this show done to you fuckers

its like i miss one episode

and i can't comprehend what the fuck you're all doing

honestly

its like i missed the meeting at the cult where tom cruise explained we can't make a peep while our wives have kids and then we can't talk to them for 7 days

the barrier is not non-permiable

for most of s1, i was the biggest lost fan, i thought it was the best show on tv. my hate isnt toward the show, just the stupid directions they keep sending it in.

3/31/2006 1:08:24 AM

is non permeable so we can never get into the octagon and so they can never get out

3/31/2006 1:18:11 AM

many people will get out as the show screws up

3/31/2006 1:37:59 AM

i've talked to many people who were avid fans of LOST, but are getting fed up with it now and quit watching.
I will keep watching, b/c I don't like giving up on a show that easy.

By the way, I liked the "some shit from wikipedia" on the drawing above...

3/31/2006 7:09:57 AM

Charlie, i'm digging the new "cloud"

3/31/2006 8:03:58 AM

yes

"Some shit from Wikipedia"

is the best part

3/31/2006 8:35:09 AM

but its kind of like

the best part of a pile of shit

is still shit

so what did you really get in the end?

shit

3/31/2006 8:40:17 AM

Lokken's just mad because he's not in the vicinity of the octagon

3/31/2006 9:57:50 AM

3/31/2006 9:58:38 AM

ok

changed it

3/31/2006 10:12:27 AM

not this "my lost penis is bigger than yours" cloud shit again

eventually every response to every theory will be "you are in the octagon" and totally destroy any real discussion. it's fun hypothesizing about what will happen because none of know what will actually happen. If you don't have anything to contribute to the discussion, don't say anything at all.

3/31/2006 10:41:38 AM

you're in the octagon

3/31/2006 10:44:12 AM

its one thing to hypothesize

it is an entirely different thing to

1. look at some chicken scratch
2. determine it is latin
3. break it into words
4. find latin phrases that look like these words
5. attribute meanings to the phrases that may not be what the phrase actually means, or even what the chicken scratch might say
6. formulate ideas about what is going to happen in the show based on these meanings

YOU FOLKS ARE ACKIN' LIKE THIS IS THE DAVINCI CODE

3/31/2006 10:48:24 AM

I don't get it. Are you trying to say it's not Latin?

3/31/2006 10:55:06 AM

i'm saying most of it is chicken scratch

(the stuff that has people scrambling for translations, obviously some of it is clearly legible)

i don't know if any of you guys read Tvgasm, but http://www.tvgasm.com's recap of wednesday's show has a neat little link that decodes some of the others' "whispers". Plus, usually there's a good discussion going on in the comments section. (also blogs other tv shows as well)

3/31/2006 2:43:50 PM

What's the over/under on how many TOTAL seasons this show will actually run?

3/31/2006 3:38:24 PM

they better not push it past 3

3/31/2006 3:39:39 PM

6 or 7 seasons, i think.



big fucking version of the map:

3/31/2006 3:41:44 PM

6 or 7? are you fucking kidding?

there is no way in hell...absolutely no way...too many people will lose interest

by 6 or 7 seasons either the whole original cast will have been killed off or the plot would be so far off course that it would completely suck.....hmmm.....

3/31/2006 3:45:05 PM

at some point

someone important is going to want to go do movies

a la george clooney

3/31/2006 3:45:43 PM

its gonna be either sawyer or kate

and the little hobbit already did movies, so he don't count

3/31/2006 3:48:06 PM

i remember readin last summer i think that the creators had an original story arc that would last like 5 seasons or somethin

3/31/2006 3:59:11 PM

The original outline was for roughly five seasons.

3/31/2006 4:21:47 PM

they need to do a couple 2 hour specials, that might appease me a little

3/31/2006 4:27:56 PM

please replace the word hate with criticism, ive never demonstraighted hate, just barbed critisicm....
i dont hate the lost fans, im just 100% certain they will all realize how stupid this is sooner or later

the show was about survival....thats what it started as. thats what it should be about, not some dhorkma initiative.

they went from a show about random encounters and how one would cope with that, to a show
that has admitted that these people were meant to be on the island, that they were connected
and are part of some experiment. its just simply not what season 1 was about.

am i wrong on this? can anyone say that the dhorkma shit is better then the how these characters
are surviving and interacting? thats the interesting stuff.

agreed. it also gives me somthing to do for at least an hour every week and drawing the storyline out in such a slow manner makes it more exciting than any book. if it were a book, id read it all straight thru in a days time and forget it two weeks later.
