LOST Cartography
Ah, yes, another non-thrilling LOST episode in which the writers further hint that previously neon-lit clues (Locke's dad = Sawyer) are probably, most likely, almost certainly true while other mysteries (how was Locke paralyzed?) go completely unaddressed. Just to make us forget about all that, they throw us a bone. Behold, the Map of Leg Crushage:
The Blacklit original
In black and white
Overlay with some text filled in
Nearly all text filled in (great job, whoever did this!)
Apparently the producer's key, for a magazine (way to suck the fun out of the chase, writers)
More translations from story-hungry fans will no doubt turn up throughout the day (is it not sad that one has to look in the subtext for new action?), but here's what we know so far:
Four station symbols are clear: Swan, Arrow, Staff (cadeucas), Flame (not previously seen)
Center station is labeled "?" which is the title of a future episode
LatinPhrases translated:
Cogito ergo doleo = I think therefore I suffer
Malum consilium quod mutari non potest = It is a bad plan which cannot be changed
Sursum Corda = Lift up your hearts
credo nos, in fluctu eodem esse = I think we're on the same wavelength/wave/sea
un sit magna, tamen certe lenta ira deorum es = The wrath of the gods may be great, but it certainly is slow
Aegrescit medendo = the disease worsens with the treatment/the remedy is worse than the disease
hic sunt dracones = here there be dragons
ursus maritimus = polar bear
liberte te ex inferno = free yourself (?) from the underworld
nil actum reputa si quid superest agendum = consider nothing done if anything remains to be done
malum non fidit atra = evil does not trust the dark/evil has split the dark/black things
Dates listed:
December 7th 1981 - The Swan Station was the sight of a H.G. (Hanzo Group) Delegation Inspection
October 28th 1984 – suspected shutdown
1985 – Caduceus Station believe abandoned due to A.H. / MDG incident
April 8th 2000 - Dharmatel intranet Complete shutdown in effect
August 15th 2001 - Dharmatel intranet Complete shutdown in effect
Revision on April 4th 2002 – possible Zoological Site identified
January 6th 2006 - Dharmatel intranet Complete shutdown in effect
Extras:
MDG = M. DeGroot (conceived of the Dharma Initiative)
AH = Alvar Hanso (the 'star' of the Orientation video)
The equations relate to gravitational pull and magnetic field strength
Finally, if Helen isn't in on the Long Con of Locke, I will eat my hat.
