Watership down another book featured in lost
by Richard Adams
Watership Down portrays the issues of survival and trust from a variety of perspectives. The story begins in the threatened rabbit warren, Sandleford.

It is an ordinary society, pleasant but imperfect, neither an Eden nor a tyranny.

Its doom comes from without, not within; only a half-dozen rabbits, sensing some ill-omen, flee the warren and survive its destruction. Now in a hostile environment, the band, led by Hazel, must rebuild the rabbit community even as it travels. To survive, the group pools its wisdom, and each individual takes responsibility for what he does best: the fastest scouts ahead, the biggest confronts enemies, the most cunning chooses a place to rest.

Alice came to a fork in the road. "Which road do I take?" she asked.
"Where do you want to go?" responded the Cheshire cat.
"I don't know," Alice answered.
"Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter."

Alice in Wonderland:

Locke mentions this novel when speaking to Jack about the symbolic "white rabbit" (his father's elusive image); it is also the title of the episode. ("White Rabbit")

4 is an important number in this book, as the real Alice Liddell was born on May 4, 1852.
42 was used in numerous books by Carroll and is thought to hold special meaning for him. The first "Alice" book had 42 illustrations and Alice's age is "Through the Looking-Glass" is 7 years and six months (6 x 7 =42).

The book's sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, is the title both of an episode and the station introduced in the previous episode.

In "The Man Behind the Curtain," there are several "Alice" references: Ben releases a white rabbit to check the safety of crossing through the sonic fence which leads to another world (the world of the "Others." Alice follows the white rabbit down the rabbit-hole which leads to Wonderland. Ben's mother, Emily is seen wearing a blue dress with matching headband and long blonde hair. This is very similar to the costuming in Tenniel's original illustrations and in Disney's film adaptation.
Charlie goes into the Looking Glass Station, but his entry is more similar to Alice's entrance into Wonderland. In "Through the Looking-Glass," Alice climbs through the mirror on her fireplace mantle and enters a world that resembles the real world (at first) but everything is backward. However, in "Alice in Wonderland," Alice follows the white rabbit down a hole into a "very deep well." Charlie is searching for the white rabbit (the DHARMA logo) and descends very deeply. Charlie, like Alice, doesn't consider an exit strategy: "In another moment down went Alice after it [the White Rabbit] never once considering how in the world she was to get out again." Charlie's concern with bravery and being a hero also parallels Alice's initial thoughts: "How brave they'll all think me at home!" ("Greatest Hits")

The Island is home to unusual creatures, such as polar bears. Wonderland is also home to odd creatures--extinct Dodo birds, mythical gryphons, etc.

In "Alice in Wonderland," a baby boy turns into a pig. Sawyer is convinced that Frank Duckett's spirit inhabits the body of a boar. ("Outlaws")

The interesting thing too is the fact that there is a world within a world in Alice in wonderland. Quite cool considering the dark matter that torry has been on about and the mirror matter that i have.
Alice was a real imaginary novel and the follow up was quiet good too. People should have a read and comment on it.While away the hours waiting for the return

I know it is not anything to do with lost but the film Donnie Darko has a lot of similarity to lost whilst doing some research on the the numbers from lost there was a lot of symbolism of the afterlife that I did not see the first time I saw the mind screw of a film.
Did anyone else like this film ?

The Soviet Experiments in the 1960s
The catalyst for American interest in pseudoscientific intelligence methods was the publication, in 1970, of Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain. According to authors Sheila Ostrander and Lynn Schroeder, a number of Soviet scientists were interested in various aspects of the paranormal, including telekinesis, extrasensory perception (ESP), parapsychology, and various other psychic phenomena. These scientists had worked with military and intelligence agencies in their country to explore methods for deployment of paranormal abilities for defence and intelligence-collection purposes.
Among the most intriguing stories included in the book was an account of an experiment involving rabbits. Electrodes were inserted into the brain of a mother rabbit, and baby rabbits—without implanted electrodes—-were placed on a submarine that was then taken out to sea and submerged. A baby rabbit was killed, and as the scientists recorded, the brain of the mother, many miles away on shore, reacted at the moment of death. Setting aside all questions of animal cruelty and experimental ethics was interpreted to show that ESP existed and served to connect minds.
Qi could also be in link with the Sofar transmitter that Blacklove is on about.

We see walt looking at a comic that just happens to have a polar bear in the story then there in the jungle is a polar bear, unless walt uses some kind of energy to manifest a polar bear or there is zoo and it has escaped.
Just a thought.
Anyway hope tonights episode has been worth the wait.

Apparently the producers said the answers are written in stone on S1 . But then i guess no1 nows! We must have missed soooo many clues! or just looking too into it like ive always said

I had read this before but did not connect to till the mention of the ring. It could be the ring that Charlie had, that they are mentioning in the comic
This is the transcript from the comic that walt is reading.

[Note: The comic is "Green Lantern/Flash: Faster Friends #1", DC Comics,
1997.]

[The original PAGE 36 (the English version) reads: ]

LEFT PANEL: Kyle Rayner is on an icy planet. He looks over his shoulder and
finds a polar bear on its hind legs right behind him.
THOUGHT BOX: Oh.
THOUGHT BOX: One of those bearskin rugs ...
THOUGHT BOX: ... with the bear still in it.

RIGHT PANEL 1: Kyle Rayner skids to a halt.
KYLE RAYNER (GREEN LANTERN): Oops

RIGHT PANEL 2: Kyle Rayner comes face to face with a polar bear.
POLAR BEAR SOUND: RRRRRRRR
KYLE RAYNER (GREEN LANTERN): Heh. My, what Big Teeth you have.
THOUGHT BOX: Won't Wally look smug when he finds out I wound up as Polar Bear
Food.
THOUGHT BOX: I won't give him the satisfaction.

RIGHT PANEL 3: Kyle lifts up his ring and points it at the polar bear.
THOUGHT BOX: Or let down Jay and Alan.
KYLE RAYNER (GREEN LANTERN): I think you need to be reminded ...
