LOST BLOG - The Constant

Okay, so I tried to make accounts with all the different LOST forums out there and to post picutres but I was not able to figure out how or they did not allow it. So I am making this blog to that purpose and effect. I watch the LOST episodes on ABC HD Streaming video and I use Screen Capture to get the stuff I have interest in. I will use this blog to post these interesting things for my own purposes, and for anyone else interested. The LOST website for streaming video is:

I've watched all the seasons of LOST, but I decided to start posting now, starting with Season 4 "The Constant".





Daniel Farday's journal











Daniel Faraday's Office and chalkboard with equations and Eloise's maze





























The painting of the Black Rock which took off from Portsmouth England on March 22, 1845 headed for a trading mission to Siam. We encountered the Black Rock back in Season 1 or 2 and it was a "Slave Ship" that had dynamite on board, stranded in the middle of the Lost island's jungle somewhere.


This soldier of the Royal Scottish Regiment bumps into Desmond Hume on base. He looked like the doctor guy from the Others but in the screen capture, it was not him.


The helicopter being flown by Frank veered slightly off-course (to 310 degrees) just at the time Desmond Hume started having time-traveling-consciousness. Daniel Faraday explained that if they went off of the 305-degree heading, there would be consequences. Incidentally, in the season finale of season 2, entitled, "Live Together, Die Alone", Benjamin Linus tells Michael Dawson and his son Walt, that with the little boat they are given, they must follow a direct heading of 325 to get away from the island. This is interesting that the bearings given by Ben to Michael lead Michael to safety, but Faraday's heading of 305 lead to Desmond getting mental-time-jumps.



The Journal of the first-mate of the Black Rock, the only known remnant of the ship to the off-island world, was being auctioned off at Southfield's. Apparently the Black Rock went down in the Indian ocean and Pirates got ahold of the Journal. Somehow, the Journal ended in the hands of "Tovard Hanso", whose decendants' Dutch or Danish foundation started the Dharma project.


Mr. Whidmore, Penelope's dad, auction patron #755 out-bid everyone else and bought the Journal for 380,000 British Pounds.

Keamy, one of the sailors aboard the Kahana, has two tatoos that are interesting...





This shot of Oxford University, where Desmond Hume from 1996 goes to meet Daniel Faraday, is also used in Harry Potter to depict part of Hogwart's school of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Penelope Whidmore's home address, given to Desmond by Penelope's father.


Panning shots of the sick bay aboard the Kahana. It doubles as a makeshift Brig, holding the consciousness-time-skipping Desmond Hume and George Minkowski.
