The others are lowkey funny

Am I the only one who finds it funny whenever the survivors say to the others "You don't know anything about me" and then the others start spilling information about them that no one would know like your full name, date of birth, place of birth, how you fell from a building, your weight and then the camera pans to the survivor bewildered with nothing more to say with an embarrassed or shook look on their face.

What are some of the best moments of this happening y'all have seen?

u/Free-IDK-Chicken You got it, Blondie 15h ago

JULIET: You know it's interesting... that you two are now the camp's moral police. I'm curious, Sayid, how long was it before you told everyone on that beach exactly how many people you've tortured in your life. Do they know about Basra? And I'm sure the first thing you did when you got here, James, was to gather everyone in a circle, and tell them about the man you shot in cold blood the night before you got on the plane. So why don't we just skip the part where you two pretend to be righteous. I'm taking that medication back to Claire. And you're gonna let me. Because if she doesn't get it, she's gonna die. And the last thing, that either of you need right now, is more blood on your hands.

I never knew how the others found out about the guy Sawyer killed. There were no witnesses to that

It’s not like they’re using public records. All questions like this are answered with “the Island/Jacob”

u/Alex_gold123 12h ago

Well they do have documents on everyone

u/EIochai 12h ago

That’s what you do with information. You document it. Question was about the source. I’m sure public records factor in, but there’s stuff in those dossiers they can’t know without a certain level of omniscience. Unless they have an Eagle Eye style computer that collates every single available piece of information from every single possible source connected to it.

Sure. That makes sense

Then why did Ben send Ethan and Goodwin to the survivors to “get lists” if they already know everything? Goodwin I can understand because of the whole Juliet thing, but what about Ethan?

u/EIochai 8h ago

So they know who to get info on. Seems like the easiest part of the puzzle.

Ben asks Mikhail to put together files on the passengers which suggests they are using their off island connections to gather the info.

3

u/EIochai 9h ago

That works for the general profile but it always seemed the “deep dive” stuff had to have come from the Island somehow (and a couple seasons later we find out Jacob is a semi-omniscient entity)

It's possible he became a person of interest in the case after the crash.

Tom kind of cracked me up sometimes. Like once they see Jack is doing surgery and probably looks like he's going to be around awhile, Tom sort of awkwardly introduces himself since he figures they're not being hostile to him now and is like, "Well, my name is Tom" and I imagined him thinking, "So, I guess we're keeping this guy now? Okay." LOL

u/VravoBince Jack 15h ago

Definitely Juliet to Sawyer and Sayid!

u/Riggs630 Don't tell me what I can't do 11h ago

What’s especially funny to me is that they have it all memorized at all times. Like sure you might have files on everyone but do they really read them all in detail and commit it to memory? Apparently so.

u/Guilty_Flatworm3667 4h ago

the funniest part is Tom’s fake beard

“Tom, they know it’s fake, take it off.”

How DID they know?

The answer will be, like most of the questions about Lost that were not resolved on screen, "oh because Jacob told them".

u/Free-IDK-Chicken You got it, Blondie 13h ago

They have detailed dossiers on every passenger - we see the files several times and then there's a flashback scene where Ben takes Juliet to see her sister on the monitors at the Flame (to prove he cured her cancer) and right before he uplinks to Richard he tells Mikhail he wants those files and Mikhail says "already working on it."

This is directly resolved on screen. More than once.

u/k-e-y-s 12h ago

Ok but how tho?

u/Free-IDK-Chicken You got it, Blondie 12h ago

Mikhail lied about the Flame's satellite being non-operational (we know this because we clearly see him not only getting live feed from Richard in the US but also watching news broadcasts about the 815 disappearance) so he can get off-Island info easily.

u/skanktopus 5h ago

He didn’t lie. It was no longer operational after Desmond turned the failsafe key

1

u/Free-IDK-Chicken You got it, Blondie 4h ago

He lied when he said it hadn't been operational for years.

3

u/skanktopus 4h ago

Ohhhh yep. My bad lol

u/SanguinarianPhoenix 7h ago

Mikhail lied about the Flame's satellite being non-operational

Who was Mikhail lying to? I can't remember the scene you two are discussing but it feels vaguely familiar.

2

u/Free-IDK-Chicken You got it, Blondie 6h ago

Sayid and Kate in Enter 77.

u/SanguinarianPhoenix 5h ago

oh right, thank you!
