The Dharmageddon Location Cup - Quarter Final 3 (*Closed*)

Congratulations to The Main Beach Camp for taking the second of the 4 Semi-Final spots. It overcame a strong challenge from the Four-Toed Statue.

Today sees and On vs Off Island encounter. Can we get our first off-island location into the Semi-Finals or will the power of the Island keep it out?

Previous rounds:

Arctic Listening Station: Santa Rosa Mental Health Institute, Mittelos BioScience Presentation Room, Los Angeles International Airport
The Black Rock: Othersville, The Miami Hospital, The Dharma Van Site.

The Listening Station was featured in our very first, and perhaps only, real-time off-island scene. At the very end of Season 2 of Lost, we were greeted to a snow swept bunker of sorts. Inside were to be found two Portuguese men playing chess. It soon became apparent that it was their job to track major electromagnetic anomalies. It is thought that Locke’s failure to enter the Swan Station code, and Desmond’s subsequent turning of the failsafe key, alerted the Portuguese men to the location of the island. It also turned out that the Portuguese men are working for Desmond’s long time love interest; Penny.


The Black Rock was one of Season 1’s great mysteries. At first it was merely talked about but never seen, and so most viewers assumed that “the Black Rock” was indeed just a black rock. However, later on in the Season, Danielle led a small group of our Losties to the “the Black Rock” and we finally got to see it for ourselves. The Black Rock is a British slaving ship, located inland on the island, deep within the “dark territory”. Just how the ship became so far stranded inland remains a big mystery. Arzt met his end there while trying to stress the importance of safety with explosives. Naturally he blew himself up. Anthony Cooper also met his end there at the hands of James “Sawyer” Ford, after it was revealed that Anthony Cooper was in fact the man who conned James’ parents and ultimately killed them both.
