Instead of reverting, please use the article's ] to work toward making a version that represents ] among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See ] for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant ] or seek ]. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary ]. | |||
| '''Being involved in an edit war can result in your being ]'''—especially if you violate the ], which states that an editor must not perform more than three ] on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—'''even if you don't violate the three-revert rule'''—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.<!-- Template:uw-3rr --> ] ] 15:24, 12 June 2016 (UTC) | |||

| Hello there. I missed this. I would like to try. Here goes. | |||
| I am not confident that this is the FIRST series to have the audience as active participants in the story outside of the show, but I think it remains the apex of this idea. The show actively coaxed a large part of the audience into looking up books, checking ancient history, learning cryptography and cartography, and researching famed philosophers. It became a multimedia platform. The two Exec Producers dropped hints on their own weekly podcast, There were weird clips, there were websites with clues to...er....something sponsored by the show. Etc. | |||
| The viewer, should she wish to watch on that level, became a de facto character in the LOST world. The actual characters on the show knew that there were weird mysteries on the Island, but weren't privy to some that the show provided for the FolksAtHome. This inspired, with the Show's encouragement, thousands of fan theories to make sense of things. The show traded on this. | |||
| I agree that when Pierre Chang appears on screen, it impacts none of the characters, really. They're most interested in surviving But this is the first time We have seen things from the perspective of a character who understands exactly what he is doing. The first time we see Dharma functioning "business as usual" in it's formative days. This is a major development for the show. The blinds are starting to fall away. So we meet Chang and his real name- then Chang steps in front of the camera and calmly gives a fake name. A thousand theories fall, and one big fact appears. Dharma is purposely manufacturing a mystery. They purposely didn't make sense. They're messing with people. It's part of the gag. This immediately shows the I-Guy character (Us) that this might be the answer to all the other incongruities as well. It doesn't add up....because that's how they wanted it. | |||
| Now, it is in my opinion, that on THIS show, with all of this extra content and focus on fan participation, that this moment is a major plot point. I think the show provided it as a pressure-release valve....because they couldn't pay everything off. Whether this is is true or not, this moment is SPECIFICALLY highlighted as the FIRST thing in the wind down seasons to show that some of the mysteries may just be there to be mysteries. Misplaced Pages is not designed to cater to fictional characters, it's designed for folks to access info quickly. This is quick. I think it deserves four words (Five, I think "Dr." should be in there too) to show when this began. | |||
| Sorry about the format of this. I guess it has something to do with spacing. | |||
| Hmmm. That's too bad. The solving attempt didn't go very well, did it? | |||
