Unanswered Question Edit

I removed the unanswered question "How did Locke know how to make the hallucination drug?" because it's irrelevant. You could ask the same thing about how Sun know about eucalyptus leaves etc. --Draven87 11:41, 30 May 2007 (PDT)

agreed. Who cares how he knows. He just does. They've already established that Locke knows all kinds of jungle voodoo lore.

Boone and Shannon-CentricEdit

"Dave" in Season Two has several flashbacks focusing exclusively on Hurley, HOWEVER, when Libby has a brief 15-second POV at the end, suddenly the episode is Hurley AND Libby-Centric. The same should apply to this episode. Shannon appears prominently in several scenes, and even when she does not appear, her voice is heard or she is referenced constantly. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TomCaruso (talk • contribs) 12:00, 08 June 2010.

The mistake is "Dave"'s. "Dave" is not Libby centric. Nor is this Shannon centric. --- Balk Of Fame ♪ talk 12:15, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

"Dave" is not Hurley and Libby centric, nowhere on this site says that. It says it is just "Hurley" centric". What you are referring (probably) is the episode infobox which states the flashback is Hurley, Libby. That is different from an episode's overall centricity. Libby does have one flashback from her POV, therefore that makes it one Libby centric flashback, but the other flashes in the episode are all from Hurley's POV. This is a Boone-centric episode, because all of the flashbacks are from his POV. Shannon only appears in scenes with him, even on the Island (as far as I remember), so it's not her centric. The same as "Abandoned" is only Shannon-centric despite Boone appearing in a few scenes, because none of those scenes are from his perspective. The same applies to why "House of the Rising Sun" is Sun-centric, and "...In Translation" is Jin even though it covers roughly the same events and they both appear in each others flashes.--Baker1000 19:16, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah despite many peoples claims Libby does not have centricity in dave, neither does Jack in TBOTE or Juliet in Two cities, Karl in Greatest hits, etc. -- B1G CZYGS  Talk  Contribs  20:20, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

What about: Exodus and The End, where "Various" characters are considered Centric (not "Various") yet some are restricted to one or two brief flashback scenes? I'm not trying to sound like a moron here, I'm just trying to understand... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TomCaruso (talk • contribs) 2010-06-08T20:57:36.

If an episode covers several characters' flashes equally, it's centric to all of them. If it primarily covers one character's flashes, it's centric to just that character, regardless of other minor flashes. --- Balk Of Fame ♪ talk 02:32, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, one other problem: Special. Michael and Walt-centric. It has, what, seven flashbacks? Of those, only two of them are from Walt's POV. I would hardly say that's equal. I'm not trying to sound like an asshole who's like "Well all your shit's wrong", I'm just trying to make sense of the information presented. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TomCaruso (talk • contribs) 2010-06-13T19:02:02.

Yes, Special has two flashbacks from Walt's POV and is thus Walt-centric. This episode has no flashbacks from Shannon's POV, so your point is moot.  Jimbo the Tubby  talk  contributions  00:31, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, that's not what I meant. I realize that this episode is not Shannon-centric, I'm just referring to the above comments notion of evenly dispersed flashbacks represent centricity, whereas the flashbacks in Special are technically uneven. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TomCaruso (talk • contribs) 2010-06-13T20:58:43.
