Congratulations to Jacob’s Shack who stormed into the last 8.
Today is the last poll from Round 3 before we start with the Quarter-Finals tomorrow. Who will capture the remaining place?
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.
Othersville, or “the Barracks”, is a secure residential base area located on the northern region of the island. It comprises of houses and various other buildings and facilities. Originally constructed by the Dharma Initiative, the ‘Others’ took control of it after ‘the Purge’. The Others have since used Othersville as their home and also their base of operations on the island. The Others abandoned the barracks in the episode “Left Behind”. The submarine harbor was located fairly close to the barracks, and as we all know the submarine has been the only means of getting on and off the island (short of crashing there). Therefore the barracks could be considered the island’s lobby of sorts. Previously it was where a large portion of the Dharma Initiative staff worked and lived.
