The Dharmageddon Location Cup - Quarter Final 3 (*Closed*)

Congratulations to The Main Beach Camp for taking the second of the 4 Semi-Final spots. It overcame a strong challenge from the Four-Toed Statue.

Today sees and On vs Off Island encounter. Can we get our first off-island location into the Semi-Finals or will the power of the Island keep it out?

Previous rounds:

Arctic Listening Station: Santa Rosa Mental Health Institute, Mittelos BioScience Presentation Room, Los Angeles International Airport
The Black Rock: Othersville, The Miami Hospital, The Dharma Van Site.

The Listening Station was featured in our very first, and perhaps only, real-time off-island scene. At the very end of Season 2 of Lost, we were greeted to a snow swept bunker of sorts. Inside were to be found two Portuguese men playing chess. It soon became apparent that it was their job to track major electromagnetic anomalies. It is thought that Locke’s failure to enter the Swan Station code, and Desmond’s subsequent turning of the failsafe key, alerted the Portuguese men to the location of the island. It also turned out that the Portuguese men are working for Desmond’s long time love interest; Penny.


The Black Rock was one of Season 1’s great mysteries. At first it was merely talked about but never seen, and so most viewers assumed that “the Black Rock” was indeed just a black rock. However, later on in the Season, Danielle led a small group of our Losties to the “the Black Rock” and we finally got to see it for ourselves. The Black Rock is a British slaving ship, located inland on the island, deep within the “dark territory”. Just how the ship became so far stranded inland remains a big mystery. Arzt met his end there while trying to stress the importance of safety with explosives. Naturally he blew himself up. Anthony Cooper also met his end there at the hands of James “Sawyer” Ford, after it was revealed that Anthony Cooper was in fact the man who conned James’ parents and ultimately killed them both.

The Dharmageddon Location Cup - Quarter Final 2 (*Closed*)

Congratulations to Room 23 for becoming our 1st Semi-Finalist.

Who will be joining it from todays battle between The Four-Toed Statue and The Main Beach Camp. You can see their previous conquests below.

The Four-Toed Statue: The Line, The Nigerian Airstrip, The Pearl Station
The Main Beach Camp: The Nigerian Village, The Fuselage Crash Site, Henry Gale's Balloon/Grave

This four toed statue was first spotted from a sailboat by Sayid, Sun and Jin, as they were sailing to what they thought was the Others’ island camp. Little is known about the statue itself, but what is known is that it pre-dates the arrival of the Dharma Initiative in the late 1970’s. To sum this location up nicely, and to quote Sayid: “I don’t know what I find more disquieting; the fact that the rest of the statue is missing, or that it has four toes”




The main beach camp was the island home to the survivors of the middle section of Oceanic flight 815. Sawyer has been known to refer to it as “Islandtown”. At first the camp was set up close to the plane wreckage, with our Losties seeking shelter beneath broken parts of the fuselage, and with some even sleeping on the open sand. Around day 22 the tide changed and started sweeping away the wreckage. Our Losties were thereafter forced to move up the beach to an area bordering the jungle foliage. There our Losties began to erect permanent shelters and huts. They were able to create a more confortable living space there. More recently the beach camp was set with explosives and blown to pieces in order to contest the attacking threat of the ‘Others’.

The Dharmageddon Location Cup - Quarter Final 1 (*Closed*)

Congratulations to The Black Rock (51%) for overcoming a titantic battle yesterday with Othersville (49%) which saw both locations neck and neck all day long.

Today sees the start of the Quarter Finals and is sure to throw together some heavyweight matchups and close battles. Thanks again to Dharmageddon for another set of photos for this round.

The first QF brings together 2 On-Island locations which have both seen a strong following in previous rounds.

The Cockpit has overcome: Mr. Cluck's Chicken Shack, Kate’s Iowa Home and the Pala Ferry.
Room 23 has overcome: Hoffs/Drawlar Funeral Parlor, The "Leyland" Pub and Ana-Lucia’s Tiger Pit

Who will win the first place into the Semi-Finals?

Room 23 was a locked room in the Hydra station compound, in which Karl was kept as a detainee in the episode "Not in Portland". It is located in what appears to be a relatively small outside facility guarded by an ‘Other’ named Aldo. Karl was subjected to some kind of brainwashing experimentation, by being forced to watch a trippy video through neon blue goggles, and all accompanied by banging drum-and-bass music. He was also found to have been injected with an IV needle in his arm. The video itself contained various quick cuts of images and text, including glimpses of Gerald DeGroot and Alvar Hanso. We were also given a rather exciting glimpse of the text "God loves you as He loved Jacob"


The front plane section of Oceanic flight 815 included the cockpit and the first class seating section. When the doomed flight 815 fell out of the sky, the front plane section crashed down into the dense island jungle, a few miles or so inland from the coast. In order to retrieve the flight’s black box, Jack, Kate and Charlie ventured into the jungle in search of the front plane section. Upon finding the intact plane section, the three of them also discovered that the pilot of the plane was still alive. However, the pilot’s life was for forfeit, as he was ripped out from one of the cockpit windows by what we now know to be the “smoke monster”.

Jorge Garcia and the Dharmalars

Thanks to Ralph from the Dharmalars for the following.

We recently sat down with Jorge Garcia and conducted a commentary for his episode "Tricia Tanaka is Dead". The Commentary also stars Jay, from The Lost Podcast with Jay and Jack. I thought that a lot of Lost fans would love to listen to it, due to the lack of commentaries present on the Season 3 dvds.

Here is a link to the actual file if you want to check it out.
