LOST- comprehensive list of all unanswered questions
 

Post unanswered questions about the show and if they aren't already on the list I will add them. As questions are answered in future episodes, I will update the list! :)


1. The Monster- what is it and how does it work?

2. The Others- who are they and why are they so secretive? what are they trying to achieve? why don't they help the survivors?

3. Locke- why was he in a wheelchair and why can he walk now? In a wheelchair because his father pushed him out of a window and he broke his back.

4. Locke's father- was his wealth somehow related to Dharma/Hanso? He is a con-man.

5. The Pilot- why did the monster kill him?

6. Walt- how did he project himself to Shannon and Sayid? what were the "tests" the Others made him take?

7. Michael and Walt- where are they now?

8. The Hatch- what was the source of the magnetism and what was the purpose of trying to contain it?

9. Paintings in the hatch- who did them and what is their significance? The mural is a large painting along the wall of The Swan station. It was painted by Desmond, according to the producers (stated on the Season 2 DVD).

10. Desmond- magic powers? WTF?

11. Lenny- how does he know the numbers? was he on the island at one time? His navy buddy heard them being broadcast while working at a listening post. (thanks tcm)

12. Carl- how did he get there and why is he being treated as a prisoner?

13. The Black Rock- how does an old ship end up in the middle of a jungle?

14. The Statue- four toes? WTF? where did it come from and why?

15. The Island- why doesn't the rest of the world know about it? why can't it be seen?

16. Electricity- where does the electricity on the island come from?

17. Brainwashing- what is the purpose of the brainwashing that Carl was being subjected to?

18. The food drop- if the Dharma project is old news then why are food and supplies still being dropped?

19. The Immunizations- what are they for?

20. The Children- why do the Others want children so badly? what did they plan to do with Claire's baby?

21. Jacob- who is he and what is his list all about?

22. Submarine/Boats- where did they get them?

23. Whispers- what were the whispers Sayid heard in the forest?

24. Cindy- she is one of the Others now? how did that happen?

25. Ben- backstory please!

26. Hot People- how did so many attractive people end up on the same flight? The island, man. The iiiiisland.

27. Rags and Kerosene- they sure have a lot of torches at their disposal on this island The island, man. The iiiiisland.

28. Why hasn't anyone attempted to walk around the complete island? Sayid tried in the first season.

29. The guys in the Arctic, they presumably found the island, now what?

30. French Woman, if she has been on the island 16 years then how come she hasn't seen half the stuff the survivors have found in the space of 2 months?

31. What is the purpose of the cable Sayid found on the beach? Is it the source of the electricity for the entire island? And where does the other end lead? The cable leads to the submarine beacon.

32. The numbers. Are they significant or just coincidence? (This has yet to be revealed on the show, but the Lost web game revealed some things which I am leaving out of this list until they are confirmed in future episodes.)

33. What did Locke see when he "looked into the eye of the island"? A bright light...hopefully more details will be revealed.

34. Is Locke's father the "real" Mr. Sawyer?

35. How did Locke's father get on to the island?

27. who cares?!

28. I do.

:rofl:

you mean the mural or the blast door map? Kelvin and Radzinsky did the map.

his navy buddy heard them being broadcast while working at a listening post.

the island, man. the iiiiisland.

The mural.

one down, hundreds to go.

Take a look at this blog. It's about as comprehensive as I've seen (updated Wednesdays, so you'll have to scroll down).

I think Sayid tried in the first season, but then crazy French lady happened...

my dad and I were talking about this.. It's ridiculous.

I've never seen this show but it sounds a lot like the X-Files. Is there a smoking man?

Why do you show up in every lost thread if you supposedly don't care? You seem to care a lot about not caring about lost.

Answer to the first part coming soon!



Hitler.


Gooks walking around in tunnels.

I've never seen an episode but based on this thread this seems like the worst fucking show.

Mayfuckoff

It is. Even the first episodes that were supposed to be good are pretty dumb.

^wtf. is there even a plot in all this?

you ppl watch too much tv

That's the blast door map dudette. This is the mural: http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Mural

well she did basically say that her method of survival has been to keep to herself. she has come across things before they have, though, like the Black Rock and the radio tower.

it's a big island.

Or, she's a lying bitch from hell.

that's absurd.

French folks haven't lied to Americans since they built the Statue of Liberty.

bump

well now you know lockes dad pushed him out a window and he broke his back. ;_;

The guy's a con man, getting millions out of suckers. I don't feel like this is a genuine mystery.

He does not recognize the Brady Bunch reference Sawyer makes. Ben said he (Ben) was born on the island, so I presume Karl did as well. Why single him out for this question? How did Tom get there? How did Ethan get there?

I feel like this has been all but answered. Somehow--the magnet, inbreeding, who knows--the Others cannot have children. Juliet was brought aboard to study this. Wombs become barren and strange on the island. Which is why they're so interested in a woman who got pregnant off-island and was able to give birth on-island, and why they will also be interested in Sun if they ever find out about her.

They came from Dharma. Does this need to be explicitly stated? Everything else the Others use has Dharma logos all over it.

They answered this, the cable leads to the submarine beacon they use to find the island when coming back. I don't know where it specifically leads but one could assume it went to a station, or the underground tunnels.

He described it as a bright light. If you mean "what was the light," it was the monster. And you've already asked what the monster is.

Karl is a mystery because he is a child who he is being treated as a prisoner. If he was born on the island then why would they still be conditioning him after all of this time and keeping him in a cage?

You are assuming the sub and boat came from Dharma. Maybe the others hijacked them from people who became stranded on the island.

You are assuming far too much and that isn't what this list is about.

Okay, I'll give you Karl (and I basically contradicted myself by saying the Others couldn't have children and then saying, duh, he was born on the island! whoops). But the submarine--come on. Someone built a submarine beacon that appears to lead back to what Dharma built. I really don't think I'm "assuming far too much" to say, hey, maybe the submarine belonged to Dharma! There's no reason to hypothesize the existence of yet another bunch of people who were lured to the island.

I figured Karl was being kept prisoner because he and Alex aren't allowed to be together, and he tried to escape to be with her. Why they aren't allowed to be a couple seems to me like a genuine mystery, as in, something the writers will need to address.

Anyway, I'm clearly missing the point of the list, so I'll duck out. Sorry if I'm being too much of a dick.
