[edit] New format

Since this article is taking on a new format, I have archived all of the previous discussions. The purpose of this "new" article is to create a synopsis of the general themes and major storylines throughout season 2. Details should be saved for individual episode articles. Lost is going to be a featured article on Tuesday, October 3, so we should work to make this article as polished as possible in the few days we have.

[edit] Mathias and Hendrik?

This article notes that the two men in the research station are named Mathias and Hendrik, but no source is cited, and the guest cast list for Live Together, Die Alone (Lost) only names them as Man 1 and Man 2. Is there any source for this? --Kahlfin 20:18, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Because no one has provided a source yet, I'm going to change it. --Kahlfin 20:15, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

According to LostPedia, the names of the two men who are inside of "The Listening Station" are on the script for the Season 2 finale episode. No one has provided a capture of the actual script however to prove or disprove this. The discussion pages for the two men provide the source information. I have updated the article with the necessary links to the page where the name source comes from. (I also fixed a few spelling errors) Spooons 17:26, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but LostPedia is not a valid source. Please cite which publication these names come from. Lumaga 22:41, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:PosterTwo.jpg

Image:PosterTwo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
