"?" Clues

  • Mr. Malkin, Joyce’s dad, is the psychic who made sure that Claire was on Flight 815 (Ep: 1x10, Raised by Another).
  • Lost fan John says: In the Orientation Film for the losties hatch, The Swan, the same man identifies himself as Dr. Marvin Candle (Ep: 2x3, Orientation). Here he’s Dr. Mark Wickman. In The Swan Orientation film he seemed to have a prosthetic arm. Here his arm seems fine.

    Also, isn’t one of the other hatches called “The Flame?” …wickman, candle, flame… interesting.

  • I’ve listened to the taped message that Eko and doctor listened to in Eko’s flashback. It’s hard to hear, but it says something like this:
    “Patient female, she’s 161 centimeters, 51.3 kilos. Body prepped and washed by the very lovely Valerie McDurmish.” A female says, “Thank you, Doctor.” The doctor’s voice says something about the Pope and then, “This is a clear case of drowning. I’ll begin with a thoracic-” Screaming.

    Who is Valerie McDurmish? She and the doctor seem to have had something going on. I bet we hear her name again.

"?" Questions

  • In the forum, John points out that "Eko's flashback actually never explained why he was in Australia. It showed that he wanted to leave Australia for the USA. What took him from Nigeria to Australia?"

  • Why does Locke let Eko climb in the same spot where Boone had climbed to the plane and plunged to his death? If I were Locke I never would have told Eko about the dream.

  • How did Joyce know that Eko would be at the airport at that time?
