Talk:Stuart Radzinsky

From Lostpedia

Contents

Anyone else want to go back to the old picture?=

There was something quirky and charming about the only image of radzinsky being his brain stain.

Leonard Simms Speculation?

Ok, delete me if you think it's ridiculous, but at least give this a thought. Radinsky is Leonard Simms, and below are seven supporting arguments

A. They look similar
B. They both know the numbers
C. It could have been Sam Toomey who shot himself in the Swan leaving the blood stain
D. Kelvin Inman knew one could escape the island (why else repaire Desmond's boat), he knew this perhaps because Radzinsky had left the island
E. Radzinsky got a new identity "Leonard Simms", even perhaps in the same way as Locke had an alias off island --and got one from Widmore
Further it should be noted that Widmore purposely gave Locke the name of "another 19th century philosopher" meaning the anagrams [1] for Leonard Simms are on purpose and created by Widmore
F. Kelvin Inman is a proven lair (To Desmond RE: wearing the suit, repairing the boat)
G. Finally Radzinsky/Simms was driven crazy in a similar way Desmond was in The Constant, or in many other ways the island drives one mad--repeating the numbers again and again, and picked up by Hurley at Santa Rosa, suggesting a time loop hinted at in "Through the looking glass" when Ben said: "I took a decision that killed more than 40 people in one single day, and I tell you this because the history is repeating now" (I know, you think it's cannon that Ben meant the 40 survivors, but with events up to the airing of Namaste all this occurred to me)
I believe the kind of markings on the blast door map suggest that he was already going crazy while still on the island

Spelling

His name is Radzinsky. How do you change the title of the page? --Variable 11:40, 25 May 2006 (PDT)

Are you sure? If noone has yet, someone should check the closed captions from the episode to get the correct spelling.--Mescad 11:43, 25 May 2006 (PDT)
I'm Polish, and in Polish it would be either Radzinski or Radzynski. Ausir 14:20, 25 May 2006 (PDT)
We don't know if he was Polish. I'm checking to see if there's a transcript we can get his name from. -- Ramirez Selvarn 14:23, 25 May 2006 (PDT)
The Closed Caption spells it "Radzinsky". So you might want to brush up on your Polish --CaptainInsano
I am Polish also. The spelling Radzinsky looks like Polish name Radzinski ( with Polish variation of letter n(Unicode hex 0144). The name is somehow common in the phonebook. It can also loosely mean 'the glad/content one'. The same with couple of other European languages.--Totem
Oh man, since you say it is it must be true. We don't even know if he is polish it is staying Radsinsky.--CaptainInsano
^^oh, the irony --kaini. 11:24, 27 May 2006 (PDT)
Wikipedia says Radzinsky is a Russian name, and Radzinski is a Polish name. Since we don't know what nationality our particular Raddy is (if he's even real), let's just agree with the CC for now. -Chris[dt7] 15:59, 10 October 2006 (PDT)

I missed when/where Kate was reading about S.R. --Amberjet11 15:23, 25 May 2006 (PDT)

It was when she read the Pearl notebook --CaptainInsano

Hmm, I would have assumed it were spelt Radzinski. Nm. --Webbskinner 03:44, 26 May 2006 (PDT)

Deleting Ridiculous Theories

Okay, so yes, there's a chance Kelvin lied to Desmond about Radzinsky committing suicide, and yes, maybe he's actually a character that we've already met (despite the writers' obvious willingness to pile on more and more new characters), but to start naming every conceivable male character on the show as a "theory".... it's just silly, isn't it? And the idea that Radzinsky is Him? Come on, let's think about this. Desmond asked Locke if he was "him" because that's what Kelvin had asked when he washed ashore. Now why would Kelvin need to ask if someone is the man who lived with him for years? Bollocks, I'm deletin' 'em. --Joezoo 19:22, 25 May 2006 (PDT)

I know I had to delete one yesterday that said Jack was Radzinsky.--CaptainInsano

Spelling

Are you sure thats the spelling. The spelling I know is Radzinski, from the Canadian soccer player Thomasz Radsinski.

That is the spelling in the Closed Caption(Look for you're self, it is at the part were Desmond is watching the Oreintation film)--CaptainInsano
But CC has been known to get things wrong spelling wise.--Tricksterson 11:21, 27 May 2006 (PDT)
Well that the spelling we are going by. What else we got? --CaptainInsano
In Denmark, where we have subtitles, they spelled it Rezensky..--Tonsak 12:23, 13 June 2006 (PDT)
That's magical, but we are keeping it Radzinsky, they might have been spelling it phonically or something--CaptainInsano

Shotgun

Quote from article: The fact that the only weapons in the armory were rifles and pistols support this theory. If he had killed himself with a shotgun there would have been one when the losties came accross it.

Well there is at least one shotgun, not only does Kate hit Desmond on the back of the head with it, but Michael also has it when he tries to find the others. Bugmenot 13:54, 31 May 2006 (PDT)

And...It is seen in Collision when Jack is getting to try to get Sayid back.--CaptainInsano

Can we get rid of the brown stain not cleaned up theory also? Red blood, when dried (especially in something porous like concrete), would leave a brown stain that would be difficult to remove. It doesn't mean that Kelvin didn't try to clean it up; it may only mean that he wasn't able to get it out. -- LOSTonthisdarnisland 09:53, 1 June 2006 (PDT)

He might have even liked it there. It is like the the Volleyball, Wilson, from the movie Castaway--CaptainInsano
or like the brown stain that Homer thinks is God in an episode of the Simpsons that was really the remnant of a waffle that Bart had thrown onto the ceiling

What about Dj Dan

I'am probably wrong but what do you guys think about Radzinsky beeing "DJ" Dan Lapinsky. Their two names are pretty simillar. --Unsigned comment

That could work. It might explain why DJ Dan is so secretive about himself, and it adds to the theory that Radzinsky was trying to subvert the DHARMA Initiative's plans, now that he is on the outside, and trying to bring others in to take down Hanso.

It remains to be seen, I guess. Aero*Zeppelin 17:14, 10 June 2006 (PDT)

A Bad Plan

I am not sure if this should go here or not, but somebody kind of missed the boat on this one. The quote is an ancient one. It is Maxim 469 by Publius Syrus(42 B.C.), and a more precise translation would be: It is a bad plan that admits of no modification. This is a somewhat different feeling from the one suggested under the theories. The traditional understanding of this would be that any plan is a good one if it allows room for change, not that it is a bad plan, and that it cannot be changed. I would guess that Radzinsky intended to change his plan - but died before he was able to. Which would suggest that the plan may be workable, if the Losties can just figure out what it was.--Heatherlark 00:04, 9 July 2006 (PDT)

LAO Teacher?

What is this "LAO teacher?" I searched the lostpedia and don't see any other reference. That needs an explanation... Piscez 11:32, 19 July 2006 (PDT)

Where did you see this? --JPB. T. C. E. 19:22, 6 July 2008 (PDT)

Why Kill Him Self ?

I have a theory, i think he find out about the sign "?" but he doesn´t could see more because he must go back to the Swan and later he put the sign on the blast door map and the other day he goes and find out about the Pearl station so he saw the orietation film and later knowing that the all he do was for nothing he put a shoot in the head. --AvArO CrAsH 17:25, 22 August 2006 (PDT)

But why wouldn't he tell Kelvin?--CaptainInsano
Because he was so depressed that he just close up because i think that Radzinsky was a genius that he was so sure that what he was thinking and heknow all that just close up because he was surt that it was true and he lose all that year of his life. --AvArO CrAsH 18:10, 22 August 2006 (PDT)
If he was a genius why would he work for DHARMA, he should be able to find a job some other place.--CaptainInsano 11:30, 23 August 2006 (PDT)
If he was a genius he must work to the DHARMA initiative, if you watch the Sri Lanka video you would know that the DHARMA initiative it was looking for genuis. --AvArO CrAsH 13:53, 12 September 2006 (PDT)
The producers have said that the Lost Experince wouldn't affect the show.--CaptainInsano 14:27, 9 October 2006 (PDT)

Um.. couldn't he have just been seriously depressed like Desmond was?

  • I know why he killed himself, the same way that [Sam Toomey] died, (shotgun in mouth). The reason is that

the numbers drove them both to insanity.--Nzoomed 09:26, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Actual Spelling?

My last name is Wrzeszczynski, pronounced "Ra-zin-ski" and I don't know about anyone else but I've listened to the name dozens of times and I never hear the 'd' in it. --Manthem

  • I agree that I've never heard the D in his name either. I always assumed it was Ryczinsky or Ryczinski. --CrystalSkull 07:39, 13 September 2006 (PDT)
  • That is what closed captions had it has so that is what we are going by.--CaptainInsano 11:22, 13 September 2006 (PDT)

Um, wha?

"Radzinsky was in "the arrow" and he owns the glass eye, The blood stain is actually the blood of his eye buried in the ground after getting out by an accident."

This makes less than no sense at all. Well, the second half anyway.

--Frankie Viturello


--Donnymaan 16:06, 5 November 2006 (PST) I dont think the glass eye belongs to Radzinsky. On the last episode, Locke and few other people were in the pearl station and saw a guy in the TV who was clearly missing an eye. If that was Radzinsky, then he has came back from dead

Picture

I don't like the picture used for Radzinsky... suppose there are people who just had watched the Lost series after season 2 and they come upon this... They will be confused with the picture. I think we should remove it and leave a picture of the unknown person. picture --    Nusentinsaino     talk    contribs    email  

I understand where you are coming from, but we do have the spoiler warning on the main page.--CaptainInsano
Also, this isn't a spoiler from after season 2... maybe you meant middle of season 2? Either way, it's a bit morbid, but it's not a pic that bothers me personally... a little reminder, but not really a "portrait standard". --PandoraX 17:02, 8 November 2006 (PST)
I think it's hilarious, personally. It's the best photo of Radzinsky we have thus far :)
Androo 09:46, 12 August 2007 (PDT)
Totally. I come to this page just for the laugh sometimes. :D--Halcohol 02:31, 23 May 2008 (PDT)
Keep the picture, i agree its the best photo of him too. If people havnt seen past season 2, there are plenty of spoiler warnings.--Nzoomed 22:06, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

IMDB (Spoiler)

(Spoiler?) I was kicking around IMDB, trying to figure out if the dog that played Vincent was the same dog in Gran Torino and I came across this: (REMOVED)

  • Yah, i saw that too. You might want to be careful putting that on here though, because they don't like having spoilers on here. Crash815 01:32, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Yeah, I figured that might be the case. I knew not to put it on the main page or in the theories, but I thought this was OK. Thanks for the warning, though. --Boddah217
  • Does an IMDB actor listing for an episode that has already aired count as spoiler?

I think Ben is Radzinsky, because he visited most of all the dharma stations.

robert h

I can tell you now, Robert that ye is wrong. --LOST-The Cartographer 19:18, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

It was just a joke.

robert h.

First name

Where did his first name get revealed? It wasn't in the episode and no one has given a source to it yet.--Baker1000 21:28, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

- He is listed as Stuart Radzinsky on the Internet Movie Database. --Feek9 21:32, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

...IMDB's often inaccurate, and I think that may count as a spoiler since ABC didn't release it. --Golden Monkey 21:35, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Rename

Middletown Journal interview with Eric Lange confirms the character's name as Stuart Radzinsky. ShadowUltra 05:00, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

  • Well, I guess so. If Eric told them, I guess it's good enough.--Mistertrouble189 05:13, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Didn't they read in one of the Pearl notebooks, "S.R. moves the ping pong table."? Makes sense, but it's not really canon, is it?--Emissary23 07:39, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Why would it not be canon? It was in the show, it makes perfect sense.--{{SUBST:User:Mjuice/autosig}} 22:29, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
  • OPPOSE Until it comes from some more authoritative source than the Middletown Journal reporter.
  • Agree Dark UFO , the best spoilers source provider, found out that 'Stuart' was his name in December. I see no reason not to add it. --LOST-The Cartographer 23:17, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Agree If you dont know his name is Stuart Radzinsky then your on the wrong site anyway.--Czygan84 23:44, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
  • "the best spoilers source"...there's your reason. It's a spoiler if it hasn't been confirmed in the show, much like Eloise Hawking. I could very well go ahead and add all I have read on DarkUFO if we were to allow everything he posts...--Baker1000 23:51, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
    • I completely agree with Baker1000, even though I was against locking and not renaming Ms. Hawking, as the Enhanced pop-ups confirmed her name. As you said it is a spoiler site, though DarkUFO can be viewed as a reliable source and can be argued as a enough of a confirmation for Radzinsky's name, nevertheless it still is a spoiler and an answer to a minor mystery (Who is the S.R.?) and I think that we should wait for it to be mentioned in an episode, press release or even a Lost Podcast. -- Orhan94  Talk  Contribs  00:14, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
      • I wouldn't call that much of a spoiler. In fact many people already thought S.R. was Radzinsky, giving the fact it ends with R. This was more of a confirmation than a spoiler. Also, how can we be totally sure S.R. is Radzinsky? I'm not saying that I believe it isn't, but what if it was actually a guy name Sam Russell? Food for thought. Lastly, DarkUFO obtained all but the season finale press releases, and they just call him Radzinsky on all of them, save the finale of course. --LOST-The Cartographer 00:55, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
  • No - Wait watch and see. See LP:SP if you have further questions.    Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 03:29, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Well as of this episode it is pretty much confirmed his name is Stuart. Sawyer calls him "Stu. --LOST-The Cartographer 01:54, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
    • And that is all we needed to wait for.--Baker1000 19:15, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
    • Horace and Juliet also called him his full name, Stuart, for the first time on the show last night in "Follow the Leader" Kaisle 16:29, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't know but wanna people wanna know wich characters Radzinsky has met?--Station7 17:17, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
