Does anyone have a screencap of the letter that was shown on the board at Isaac's place? The signature is hard to read but I think the first letter is an "L" and the last name starts with a "B". The camera zeroed in on this name and perhaps it's a clue. By the way, I think Isaac will probably show up later having something to do with the Dharma Initiative since he's an "expert" on magnetic places. What do you think?

I didn't get much of a look. Could it have been Libby? Cured of her mental illness?

Yeah, I was wanting to see some screencaps of that myself.

"Isaac" was misspelled and in the handwriting of a child so I'm assuming that the parent/guardian/somebody signed the child's name since it was in cursive. The body of the letter looks like it was also written by an adult but made to look like a child's writing.

I don't have a screen cap, but I did go back to look at this specifically to see the name. I thought it might be Libby, but on a second glance, I am not so sure.

Another odd thing about the note is that the first part, "Thank you for making me feel all better" is written in something that looks like child's handwriting but the signature obviously isn't. As always, it could be a red herring, but it seems like we were supposed to notice it.

There was a blue piece of paper on the wall of notes behind Rose. It look like it said
JOHN LOCKE with NO CRUTCH under his name. Did I see that? It went quick and I wasnt taping it to rewatch.

Could anyone make out any of the photos? We do not have hi-def. The one letter focussed on had a child's message, but an adult signature that is tough to read.

I believe it said "Look Isaac, No Crutch"

Heh, I was scanning that wall like crazy looking for pictures of Locke.

I'm sure there's a good chance there's something in there, but perhaps not. Good fodder for examination, though! Should keep us busy. Now the waiting game begins for the HD screenshots.

I have some pics:

The Isaac connection is sure to surface again at some point. Why would a faith healer talk about magnetic spots on the earth and how they varied. Made a point of telling Rose that it wasn't that she couldn't be cured, just that this was the wrong spot. Plus the flashback at the airport. Rose would remember the man in the wheelchair bumping into her and dropping the pill bottles on the floor long before he would have remembered her.

I see one (Dharma-ish) symbol repeated on the board (green background, wheel-type design, top right and bottom left) No idea if its important or what it might mean, but it jumped out at me.

I'll just kick back and wait for some hi-res pics :biggrin:

Oh yeah, we've gotta have something to examine! ;)

But Isaac didn't heal Locke; the island did.

I find it odd that one of the postcards on the wall is the Whitehouse. Probably not a clue, just odd.

The healer seemed surprised when he opened his eyes. It was not a look of resignation that he wasn't going to be able to help Rose. It reminded me of the psychic that got Claire to be on flight 815. I think they both saw something regarding the island in their "visions" or whatever.

And the Golden Gate bridge picture that is upside-down ????

As much as id like to think that theres more to it, im thinking that the connection between locke and rose that we've heard mentioned was just the way the island had actually healed the both of them. Like her line when she spoke to locke something along the lines of "you and i both know it wont take that long"

Guys let me make a small suggestion. This thread is one of those threads that is going to get really really long and then everyone will have to weed through 15-20 pages to get to the meat and potatoes of the thread. Maybe we can keep it from getting out of hand by posting things that actually add to the topic, rather than a post that contains just "cool!" or "I saw that too" and doesnt really add to the discussion. This is just a suggestion, if no one wants to try it thats fine. But I think these threads get really long really fast because of a lot of posts that do not really add any new information in the popular threads such as this one. Just trying to make these long important threads easier to read through. Thanks

I agree! He seemed shocked and almost a bit fearful when he popped his eyes open so abruptly. Not the look I would expect from someone who should seem 1. disappointed that he cant help her and 2. disappointed that he will have to return the large "donation."

I can't help thinking that there must be somebody familiar somewhere on that wall...

I see what you're talking about. Not quite Dharma, but oddly enough like it to make you look twice.

I see the signature on the note, but can't make out what it says at all.

Honestly, I wouldn't read too much into this.

Before anyone starts spinning off thinking the balding guy on the bulletin board with the mustache is Hanso or something I can tell you that this is a stock photo image. I remember coming across several shots of the this fellow a few months back. Alot of work went in to that bulletin board!

in the second picture teh postcard of the Golden Gate Bridge is upside down.

I was just wondering if the receptionist that brought Rose in was anyone that was on before?

I knew there would be something about that here. I bet someone we would not think about is on that wall............. Wonder who.....

That is signed "LOL Pole"

the "note" that looks childlike... not necessarily... from the signature, could just be someone who has really poor handwriting and decided to print the note so it could be read, and then signed it properly.... just wish I could figure out the signature...

It does look like it starts with an "L"... do we know Libby's last name?

That is signed "LOL Pole"

I'm not sure about the "Pole" part (it looks like it starts with a B to me), but it is for sure LOL (lots of love).

in this picture...
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a194/gumpy500/issacletters2.jpg

that letter is definetly not addressed to an isaac

did anyone else see Dr.Phil? lol

If we are to extract anything from that board, I put money on the upsidedown golden gate bridge. It's the only out of place thing that is shown long enough, or clearly enough. It's also something you're likely to miss the first time through.

Looks to me like "LOL- Pele"

Hmmm... this is quite a strech here but maybe a refrence to Pele's curse?

where?

I'm not sure about the "Pole" part (it looks like it starts with a B to me), but it is for sure LOL (lots of love).

I would say a 'B' is possible it could be "Blo"

I said P because it looked like the person may have just not lifted the pen between the 'P' and the 'o', it's hard to say with out a bigger sample of the handwriting, but it also looks like 2 different people signed it "LOL" and "BLO"

Asian family bottom right look like Jin & Sun probably not though

Looking at the blue letter in the bottom-righthand corner of this image (http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a194/gumpy500/issacletters2.jpg) you see a scrap of light-blue paper on top it. This bit of paper (looks almost like wrapping paper) has a hot-air balloon in it. Wouldn't have thought much of it before, but it might be a tip-of-the-hat now.

Also, the striped letter in the bottom left corner of that image is coming from San Francisco, just not sure who sent it.

Finally, the little girl holding the flowers - this is a stretch - does she look like Emma (http://lostpedia.com/wiki/Emma) to anyone else? Maybe that's why Emma and Zack were travelling back from Australia?

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a194/gumpy500/issacletters1.jpg

Oh look Isaac healed Mrs. Doubtfire (bottom-center)

There is also a piece of paper with "THAILAND" written on it. There is a Thailand connection through Jack already. During the card game he told Sawyer that he learned how to play cards in Thailand.

Could this be the woman in Eko's smoke images? Maybe Magic Isaac healed her from polio.

http://www.tinypic.com/view/?pic=vdh92r

hey my fellow lostfanatics. I just found someone we know in grumpy5's pics. In the last pic, ther is a man in a blue shirt and hat pretty clear. anyway that guy is who kate stayed with for awhile and who ultimately turned her in!!!:eek2:

it seems like there are a lot of children on his board. Dharma??

jeresig, I actually thought it looked more like a young shannon? Sorry I'm so sleepy I don't even know if I'm spelling ok

I noticed that, too. The headdress seems different, but her facial features are similar.

Funny that you mention that because I thought it looked very much like Locke himself. In fact, looking at the picture now, I almost swear it is him!

I think it will be significant that Bernard said he received 3 calls from people as a reference to take Rose to see Isac. Given that everything is connected in some sense, I'd imagine the people who made those calls will be people we are already familiar with. If that is the case than Issac would be aware of the eminent plane crash. It could even be possible that Rose is not healed completely and her condition will eventually catch up to her.

In connection to the aforementioned theory that Rose was geared towards Issac as part of a master plan to (sort of a checkup/physical prior to the island experiment) could it be possible that Locke and other castaways (libby, walt's mom, gin and sun) received similar references to see Issac for their medical ailments?

hey my fellow lostfanatics. I just found someone we know in grumpy5's pics. In the last pic, ther is a man in a blue shirt and hat pretty clear. anyway that guy is who kate stayed with for awhile and who ultimately turned her in!!!:eek2:

not only is he here but if you watch closely during rose and bernard's flashback, when bernard first pulls into crazy ivan's ( i mean isaac's ) place "dr." Ray Mullen can be seen walking across the driveway in front of bernard's rental car wearing his trademark brown floppy hat!

There is a picture of a man near the bottom center, wearing an Orange T-shirt and he has his arms outstretched like when Henry was tied up in the hatch.

Did you guys notice the compass like pixs/
drawings down left and upper rigyt corners.

In this pic http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a194/gumpy500/issacletters1.jpg I can make out a woman who favors Ana-Lucia. A child is in the pic with her, & to the immediate left of this pic is a police officer.....maybe another clue to it being AL?!

Also, the is another bridge pic. It's to the right of the "I heart Isaac" pic.

10 O'Clock to the "I heart Isaac" picture appears a blond woman which I am sure some people will begin to think is Desmond's girlfriend from the hatch photo.

I think the signature from pic 2 looks a bit like those on the Hatch map, dont you think?

That's not a hot-air balloon, it's a kettle!

And the Golden Gate bridge picture that is upside-down ????

Easy. Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, the picture of the Golden Gate Bridge is actually right-side-up. It's Australia that's upside-down.

Hey y'all,

Does anyone here think the circular symbol on the green paper here (http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a194/gumpy500/issacletters1.jpg) could be representative of the Mayan Calendar and the Long Count? I'm certain I've seen that same image somewhere on the show before, possibly in the hatch.

Asian family bottom right look like Jin & Sun probably not though

That's a possibility.... We don't know yet why they were in Australia, unless it was a layover stop between Korea and Los Angeles. (Which wouldn't make sense to me.)

:crazy:

Yeah definitely - the psychic knew the plane was going to crash 'no - you must take this flight' - he wanted claire to raise the child herself. In season 1 claire realises this with charlie.

To me, the signature at the bottom of the note in picture 2 looks like the first name is "Jojo". The last name looks like "Ble", but is most likely just the first couple of characters.

Re: the picture of the White House?

Maybe Isaac tried to cure President Jed Bartlet of his MS.....

Oops, wrong show!

:wacko:

I can't make out the first part of the unreadable signature but the second part might actually be 'Role'.

That's a possibility.... We don't know yet why they were in Australia, unless it was a layover stop between Korea and Los Angeles. (Which wouldn't make sense to me.)

:crazy:

Actually we do know why they were in Australia. Jin mentioned this to his father in "...In Translation."

JIN: (in Korean) [subtitled: Her father wants me to deliver watches to his
associates in Sydney and Los Angeles.]

FATHER: (in Korean) [subtitled: Then let that be the last thing you do for
him, Jin-Soo ... then walk away. Don't come back. Go to America ... save your
marriage.]

In the signature What looks like LOL , there is a small "mark" after it, Maybe the first name is LULU? Short for Lucy? Laura? Lois? As for the last name thats anybodys guess.

Dear Isaac

Thank you for my new kidney! It works fine.

John Locke

Kidding..just kidding! Had you going for about half a second though..didn't it? :D No? Well..I tried.

So not only have the losties crossed paths back in the world... the people in the flashbacks are having 'connecting' moments now as well?

Wonder if there is anything from Liam up there? He is actually in Australia and could have used all the help he could get quitting drugs...

Hey Johnny. In the video, when they show Gerald DeGroot in his office, there is a round ornament on the shelf, that looks like the Mayan calendar.

After reading through all the crazy things people want to see....

Finally a laugh!!

The baby in this photo http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a194/gumpy500/issacletters2.jpg looks like Charlie to me. I think this is plausible, as we haven't seen anything significant with his character yet. He must be important somehow, maybe this is it.

Can anyone make out what is on the black T-shirt right above the "Isaac Thank You" note in the first pic:
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a194/gumpy500/issacletters1.jpg
We only see a portion of the torso, face is covered up by another letter. There's a circular drawing (the map??) and words underneath. I can't make it out.

upside down golden gate bridge?

It looks like I "heart" Las Vegas to me.

I have to believe that that signature is something signifcant. The stopped on it for way to long for it to be just nothing. My initial instinct was that it was Libby, but after looking at the screencaps, I have no idea.

The one thing I think I'm right about it that it was written by a child but signed by an adult--what was Walt's stepdad and mother's names? Brian and Susan Lloyd? Maybe the nanny? Did she have a name?

I do feel that there is an importance with the letter with the signature but what about the picture below the upside down Golden Gate bridge? The writing on it might say "look", but there is also a torn peice of paper or something in the corner. It looks like a drawing.......possibly part of a drawing of Michaels. I went back and looked at some of the pictures that Michael drew that were hidden on the Oceanic website.......and they both are pencil drawings. Does anyone have a better screencap of that part?

in this picture...
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a194/gumpy500/issacletters2.jpg

that letter is definetly not addressed to an isaac

Isaac is misspelled in this letter, it is spelled "I-S-S-A-C"

Kids seem to pick up on stuff adults miss all the time! The bulletin board did remind me of the one in "the usual suspects".

There is a drawing of two hills with a sun rising in between them and a river or stream coming down the left hill.

There is a section of the beach that is almost the same, and Jack and Hurley are seen talking there. I call that area the Butt Mountain (I spose it could be the Boobs Mountain) Maybe it means , My Butt Thanks You.

There is a picture of a little boy, could be a young Hugo.

Since they were already in Australia on business, maybe Jin took Sun to get healed so she could get pregnant. There wasn't really anything wrong with her, but it's possible they went so are now connected to Isaac.

The return address on the letter says San Francisco, yet the zip code 86303 is for Prescott AZ. Also, could last name on letter be Dole?

Just want to add something about the signature. The second name looks like it starts with a B, but if you follow the way it's written it doesn't follow the flow of how a B is usually written. I think it almost looks like a funky R or maybe it is a P. But following the line, it doesn't look like they intended a B.

We have the Golden Gate bridge upside down but then the envolpe in this shot
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...acletters2.jpg (http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a194/gumpy500/issacletters2.jpg)

Has a return address of San Fran

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b381/happypixie/SANFRAN.jpg

If that's supposed to be from San Francisco in California, it looks like the zip is wrong if that's an 8 at the beginning.

The signature in question could also be Polo

Maybe they have a running game of Marco/Polo going on.

It looks like the first part reads LOL or Lots of Love, the name is throwing me off though? Bill? Belle?

Working in the media biz. All those photos look like royalty free stock photos. Anyone can get their hands on those. They come in large books and we use them for graphics sometimes. Scan them into ur computer and do what you will.... since they aren't copyright.

I don't think the people in those picture have any real connection to anything.

Sorry guys

The signature in questions looks like Lola to me.

The signature looks foreign to me, like maybe German. The German "s" looks a lot like an L. Especially with the way the lower part of the letter goes way below the main part of the word. Here's a link to a website with German signatures. The names are typed also so you can compare:
http://gwdu05.gwdg.de/~nwinnig//adel.htm

EDIT: Forgive me, its "h" not "s"!!!! Its been a LONG time! Here's a better web site too:
http://www.suetterlinschrift.de/Englisch/Sutterlin.htm

OK. I see the farmer that turned Kate in, but did anyone see the picture of what looks like Zeke.
It's as soon as she sees the board, not any of the images posted here. It's the wide frame as she enters.
In the top left corner I could have swore I saw him. He has a moustache and it's NOT the one that's in the issacletter1.jpg.

Maybe I found Charlies stash or something too.
:)

It just dawned on me - could the last name on the letter be PACE - as in someone from Charlie's family?????

The letter with the return address in question is addresed TO what looks liek Mrs Cheryl Cliff ..
http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/4664/cheryl5fo.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

it seems that everyone forgot that rose was dead for a while (when jack revived her in the pilot)... maybe that has something to do with her thinking the island cured her...

It is an APO address which is a military mailing address. The zip code is 96262. You may be familliar with the APO (Army/Airforce/Marines) or FPO (Fleet Post Office) addresses. it is an Armed Forces Pacific address. This one was the APO out of San Francisco.

I know this may be a wicked stretch, but wasn't Kate's mom sick? If you remember back to when we found out "What Kate Did", she was visiting her mom in a hospital and her dr. friend used the excuse of a ct scan in order to get Kate to see her. Maybe she had a terminal disease and used some of the life insurance money from when Kate killed her dad to go to the healer (Maybe why Kate followed her to Australia in the first place).

Plus, Kate's dad was in the Military and would have used an APO address. Maybe he had something to do with the letter? Writing it in order to get his ex-wife healed? I know it's a stretch!

What do you think?

in that first pic there is an interesting round symbol shown twice on the board in the background

Is that not an original Dharma wheel ( as relating to Buddhism ) on the green card ?

Looks very similar to this

I think some people are looking at this way too complex. Like connecting Kevin Bacon and Rob Lowe in 43 moves.

The Godlen Gate bridge stapled upside strikes me as odd too. At first glance I thought it was an explosion on the top of the picture.

The other thing I wondered was why would the picture be there to begin with? Did he heal a bridge? hahaha. All the other pictures we saw are of people, not roads or bridges, or lakes. So, why have it there, why have it upside like that?

Unless, is the Australian outback EXACTLY on the otherside of the world from the Golden Gate Bridge? I must confess I am poor with geography, and have no idea how to research such a thing.

Thank you for posting those pictures. I loves me some LOST detective work.

Njc-----------------------------

I think there is an obvious link with Sisco on the board but whether or not it has anything to do with the island is another matter.

No, Sisco is not directly opposite Australia. I think that would be something like in the Atlantic south of Greenland, east of New York

I think the paper that looks like a purple flower with hearts all around looks a lot similar to the diagram of the hatches....just draw in a different shape

Don't mind me, just a bit of snobbery on my part, being in the area and all. :kiss:
But I will say that Sisco is a new one, usually it's Frisco.

I'm wonderfully curious as to why the bridge is upside down though. And why the zip is different.

The zip might be a mistake. Think about it - props are getting this bulletin board ready and someone has to prepare an envelope. Wrong zip is written down. Most of whats on there won't have been intended for close scrutiny

Aren't those "the numbers" on the top line of the return address?

It certainly begins 4, 8 and ends with 3, 4, 2. The number of characters is consistant with 4 8 15 16 23 42.

probably, but the producers/writers throw those numbers in all the time with no purpose... like the episode flashback, when hurley is rushing through the airport, he passes a girls soccer team with their jerseys on, and the numbers on their backs? 4 8 15 16 23 42.

If that really is the first frame then I would say that there is something to the picture of the Golden Gate. It is near the center of the shot, a place for important things. So there must be something important about it. But what?...But what?

But there are always numbers on jerseys. That makes sense in a certain context. Numbers after a name on a return envelope? What possible sense does that make?


Could they possibly signaling that this is a legit clue?

I agree that the numbers frequently show up with little relevance toward advancing the plot..........but they always occur for a logical reason, such as a hotel room number, safe deposit box number, car dashboard, etc. You never see a character walking down the street and the numbers are randomly spray painted on a wall, or scratched into a tree. The numbers always occur in a logical context.

The numbers on the envelope have no obvious logical context. That is what is sticking out to me.

I hope you can figure it out... would love to know.:)

Maybe the "B" in the last name in the LoL. Ble actually stands for other letters as well, like in a company logo that contains several letters. Maybe the "B" contains not just a B but also a P and/or an R and/or an 8 and/or a 0 and or an X, etc. Otherwise, we may be looking for a person who signs their name with a special way of creating a letter in cursive.

The zip might be a mistake. Think about it - props are getting this bulletin board ready and someone has to prepare an envelope. Wrong zip is written down. Most of whats on there won't have been intended for close scrutiny

I guess since people don't read all the posts, I'll just post it again:

It is an APO address which is a military mailing address. The zip code is 96262. You may be familliar with the APO (Army/Airforce/Marines) or FPO (Fleet Post Office) addresses. it is an Armed Forces Pacific address. This one was the APO out of San Francisco.

I know this may be a wicked stretch, but wasn't Kate's mom sick? If you remember back to when we found out "What Kate Did", she was visiting her mom in a hospital and her dr. friend used the excuse of a ct scan in order to get Kate to see her. Maybe she had a terminal disease and used some of the life insurance money from when Kate killed her dad to go to the healer (Maybe why Kate followed her to Australia in the first place).

Plus, Kate's dad was in the Military and would have used an APO address. Maybe he had something to do with the letter? Writing it in order to get his ex-wife healed? I know it's a stretch!

Does anyone else feel like we are looking at a page from an "I SPY..." book? My kids love those books. Maybe I should have my kids start watching LOST, then I could replay this episode for them, and they could spot everyone and everything we are missing!

That is a good comparison - I SPY!

Something in my jaded mind makes me think this board is just a red herring - lots to look at and develop theories with, but in the end, it is all irrelevant to anyone on the island. TPTB probably thought we could play with this little toy until we get a new episode. Like a kitten with a new ball of yarn.......

About the signature.. the first name looks like it starts and ends with an "L" right? well normally, you don't capatalize the last letter in your name.. like for example would you write your name like "LaurA"? No, I don't think so. Therefore, I think the "L" is the initial to the persons middle name, which also explains why there is a dot after it.

the only problem with this is why they looped part of the first name to the initial?

just a suggestion. Plausible or not? you can decide.

The only flag that I noticed on a letter was a Canadian flag.
Possible connections:
The bulletin board is in the Australian outback.
A Canadian company - Placer Dome - has a large mining operation at Kalgoorlie, in the Australian outback.
Hurley visited Sam Toomey's widow in the Australian outback.
Mrs. Toomey said that Sam won the bean counting contest in Kalgoorlie.
Not Henry Gale claimed to have been involved in mining.
The "Black Rock" had mining equipment.
Ethan and Nathan each claimed to be Canadian.

The baby in this photo http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a194/gumpy500/issacletters2.jpg looks like Charlie to me. I think this is plausible, as we haven't seen anything significant with his character yet. He must be important somehow, maybe this is it.
The black girl in the same link looks like Michael's wife. I know it's a reach, but maybe whatever saved her, when she was young, mutated and caused her to die many years later.

The 'healer' may be involved in Dharma's medical experiments.

I think some people are looking at this way too complex. Like connecting Kevin Bacon and Rob Lowe in 43 moves.

2 moves

Rob Lowe was in "Tommy Boy" (1995) with David Hemblen
David Hemblen was in "Where the Truth Lies" (2005) with Kevin Bacon

Small world after all, huh? :cool:

Could this be the woman in Eko's smoke images? Maybe Magic Isaac healed her from polio.

http://www.tinypic.com/view/?pic=vdh92r

Wow, I don't know if it's her, but the resemblence is remarkable.

It just dawned on me - could the last name on the letter be PACE - as in someone from Charlie's family?????

The second word in the signature could say "Popo" which in Korean (according to Sun) means "a kiss" so it could be "Lots of Love and a kiss"


I know this may be a wicked stretch, but wasn't Kate's mom sick? If you remember back to when we found out "What Kate Did", she was visiting her mom in a hospital and her dr. friend used the excuse of a ct scan in order to get Kate to see her. Maybe she had a terminal disease and used some of the life insurance money from when Kate killed her dad to go to the healer (Maybe why Kate followed her to Australia in the first place).


The episode where she sees her mom was Born to Run.

I think Kate was in Austrailia because she stole a ticket and went wherever it said.

My response to the upside down Golden Gate Bridge...

Well I'm sure the whole "end of the world" theory surrounding this entire show has been played with, so is this some sort of clue towards that? I'm not saying I necessarily believe that to be the case, but this show is strictly about the island and what happens there. Not anywhere else in the world, not with rescue efforts (if any) or what families of victims are doing or ANYTHING. Is it possible that the world is turning "upside down?" Not literally but methaphorically. There was that whole pole reversal theory that has been around as well and the island is basically protected because of this whole magnetic force surrounding it. I don't know just some ideas, maybe a funny joke that some set decorators thought would be fun too. Most of this board probably means nothing, but I think a few of the pictures/messages are direct ties to people and places we've seen/will see on this show. Just like the psychic, I don't think him or Isaac are random characters never to be seen again.

I know this is a stretch, but is there any way the signature on the letter could be
Jennifer Gale?

Just above the wheelchair, in a white letter w/ a red matte (background), I can read:
Mr. Isaac,
Thank you.
My baby is
better. Thank
you.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a194/gumpy500/issacletters1.jpg

I also noticed, as somone else said, that there seems to be a lot of pics of babies and children posted there. What IS the significance of that? (And of the children the Others want?)

That upside-down bridge is something I noticed right away too, as well as the scrap of paper in the blue letter that looks something like a black & white drawing of a hot-air balloon. (Not a frying-pan or whatever someone else said.)

I saw a young girl there who made me think of Nadia.

And omg, I had to laugh when I saw the pic that someone pointed out looked like Mrs. Doubtfire! :)

I think that's all I wanted to add, except they sure made us notice that wheelchair propped up against the wall of letters, didn't they? But we know Locke wasn't healed until he reached the Island.

Exactly ! Sometimes people make things far more difficult than they actually are.

There may be something on the board that is significant but ask yourself this : What about the people who watch Lost but don't use the internet, blown up high definition pictures and slowed down sound files to enhance their experience ?

If anything is on that board, surely it cannot be that important ? We're not going to see - unlike in The Usual Suspects - another flashback of Rose examining the board and thinking :eek2: .

Is that not an original Dharma wheel ( as relating to Buddhism ) on the green card ?

Looks very similar to this

http://www.kadampa.org/english/reference/dharma_wheel.php
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_of_Life

I think the most obvious and glaring clues on this wall are the (at least) TWO DHARMA WHEELS. Not the octagon shaped Dharma logo, but the Dharma wheel. In the following cap, you see one on green paper just to the right of Rose's head and another one on the far lower left by the corner. What better place to hide something than a shadowy corner? The purple symbol below the green one, next to Rose's face also seems familiar, and may contain another Dharma wheel in the center.
http://www.lost-media.com/modules.php?name=coppermine&file=displayimage&album=1039&pos=480

Incidently, the picture on the wall, to the left of her shoulder, with the white glare down the center, reminds me of Sayid's picture of Nadia.

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a194/gumpy500/issacletters2.jpg

Looks like "Lulu," to me.

I think those are compasses (sp?) on the board, and a decorative plate in the Degroot's office, no?

Here is a little info on it....(the wheel of life)

I my self belive so to but ya never know if we are making something out of nothing but ahhhhit is fun anyway:biggrin:

I thought is was just cool to see them on the wall

Sorry if this has already been posted, I haven't bothered reading the whole post but is that a photo of a woman in a police uniform? Possibly Ana Lucia?

We also have the

I think there is more too "Black Rocks" period then we have previousely thought.

-The Ship Black Rock

-The Line where jack and Kate go to is marked with a big Black Rock

-Bernard found a bunch of lava (black) rocks they where chosen because they contrast the sand) He has now gathered a bunch of black rocks. I wouldn't be surprised if these rocks get "taken back" for some reason. lava rocks can be found all over pacific islands as there is subteranean volcanic activity, but to find a bunch around the same relative size is odd?

Why would a faith healer talk about magnetic spots on the earth and how they varied.
He also mentioned geologic features. Both of which have been mentioned about the hatch: the magnetism, and Sayid speculating that it's geothermal.

It's Luray Caverns

The black girl in the same link looks like Michael's wife. I know it's a reach, but maybe whatever saved her, when she was young, mutated and caused her to die many years later.

Walt's mother's "death" was very suspicious. (Why was her husband at Michael's door within hours with airline tickets for him, instead of arranging/attending her funeral?) Maybe instead of dying, Walt's mother went to the miracle shack and got saved. I'm sure we haven't seen the last of her.

The Girl with the dot(come-come-)on her head, is At Home With The Kumars.

The signature is With A Giggle And A Hug And A Tickle And A Kiss.

The bridge may not necessarily be upside down, I don't think it's the Golden Gate Bridge at all. There are many shapes that a bridge can take, the pic of the bridge looks like a spandrel design. If it's a real bridge that exists somewhere, then I believe that is the type of bridge to look for, and the fact that it appears to go over a body of water should also help narrow it down.

This isn't the bridge in the picture but is an example of the type of bridge I am speaking of, the one in the picture does not appear to have any visible concrete or brick as a part of the exposed part of the structure. But then again the picture may have been tampered with, there also looks like something was scribbled out in black on the top right corner of the photo of the bridge in question.

http://pghbridges.com/basics.htm

If it is the Golden Gate Bridge and they turned the image upside down they may have scribbled out the structure at the end of the bridge.
http://www.bridgemeister.com/pic.php?pid=140

I'd say the picture of the bridge next to the "I :heart: Isaac" looks more like the Golden Gate Bridge.

This bridge is has an interesting plaque on it.

There is such thing as upside down bridges though, here is an interesting one, the Lockport Bridge.
