PREVIOUSLY ON LOST

I’ve noticed that quite a few people end up at this site after typing a LOST related question into Google, and since some of the questions seem interesting enough I’ve added a new section “Lost and Found” where I’ll pick out some of the questions and answer them (assuming I know, or can find the answer). Got a question you’d like to see answered? Email me!

Another 10 multiple choice questions, this time more like the sort of questions you might expect in an IQ test. I don’t know if the questions are random or not, might take it again to see if I get different questions. There was also a video which mentioned that we are about half way through the “volunteer assessment program”, and according to Lostpedia there will be 8 tests in total. Not sure what happens after that, but hopefully something interesting.

Referred to as the “Dexterity and Attentiveness Evaluation” the third test involves moving a Dharma logo around on the screen to avoid colliding with four spheres that are moving around on the screen. The longer it goes on the faster they move and even with the cheat/glitch that was found to allow you to change the position of the logo to quickly avoid collisions, I still have managed to get to 100 (the maximum score). I probably just need more sleep.

Just took the second ‘test’ in this year’s ARG. This one was just a series of 10 multiple choice questions (apparently random). The quiz was timed, and they don’t let you know how well you do in the test either. With the aid of Google you could probably get all 10 correct, but since it was being timed I couldn’t be bothered searching for the answers and made some educated guesses instead. Favourite question was the last one I received, “The answer to this question is:” A: A, B: B, C: C or D: D. Quizzes are fun and all but I’m looking for something a little more interesting.

It only took me a week to get the “test” to actually load (its all in Flash, which is ‘obviously’ the problem). It was a simple tangram-style puzzle, with a selections of piuece you had to fit together to complete a square. not all pieces had to be used, and you had 100 seconds to complete it. You get one point for every second remaining when you complete it, they haven’t said what the points mean, if anything. Its definitely a slow start to this years ARG, much unlike last years Find 815 one.

So this is the product of me avoiding the half written posts that I’ve been meaning to finish for weeks. My bad. I’m taking a slightly different approach with this new ‘version’ in and effort to try and encourage me to post things more often during the ‘off-season’. I’ve got a couple of recaps to finish (and several to start), plus the ‘Missing Pieces’, and some theories, plus the continuation of my ‘rewatching’ that I started prior to Season 4. So how long before I get distra…ooo theres something shiny….

In case you haven’t already noticed this site now has its own “special” domain name. http://previously-on-lost.com Be sure to update your bookmarks etc etc.

So when Ben tells Jack that “every single living person on this island will be killed”, why do I get the feeling that “living” is the key word.

Yes, I’ll be posting my thoughts on Season 4, but I’ll hold off at least until its aired here in Australia. I’m also planning to post my thoughts and observations from the 13 mobisodes, and the Find815 ARG that were happening over the past couple of months. All in good time.

If only Sayid had gotten on the original flight that CIA had offered him, then he wouldn’t have been on Flight 815, his plane would never have crashed and he would have probably been reunited with Nadia.
