Talk:Par Avion (Lost)

message: In the article it is said that Christian tell Claire that she has "...the body of a goddess." In the Italian-dubbed version he says nothing like that (it would be very strange). Is it vandalism on the page? 93.33.1.165 (talk) 19:24, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I added the following error section with the following material: -
Errors in Production
Claire's mothers surgery, medical treatment, and subsequent life support and stay in hospital is addressed by Claire's aunt who says, "We can't afford to pay for that.", which the doctor addresses that the payments have already been sorted out. Australia uses the Medicare system, whereby all hospital treatment and medical care is given free to people who need medical treatment. There is never a question of a bill, nor is insurance required. 
During the cafe scene where Claire has a coffee with her newly reunited father, the father discusses other 'alternatives' to relieve Claire's mothers pain and cites that switching the life support machines off is illegal. Whilst euthanasia is illegal in Australia, removal of treatments, such as life support machines, is not deemed to be euthanasia, although it is effectively the same it is legal. 
During the hospital scene where a very pregnant Claire visits her mother, who is still on life support, her mother is seen to still have a tube down her ausophogus. Life support over duration would require a tracheotomy for further use to avoid liquid build up in the lungs, pneumonia and eventual death. 
User ChazBeckett has subsequently reverted these edits as each individual one was made, citing: -
*we have no idea how the Australian medical system works in the Lost universe
*Lost exists in a fictional universe; differences from the real-world are not errors
Lost has, from the get-go, focused on realism as it's fulcrum to engage the audience, whilst I accept some things are far fetched and fanciful and intended as fiction, there are, through this episode, numerous errors, both to do with the medical system and to do with the medical care of a patient.
You could argue that in the 'Lost universe' human rights such as the right to medical treatment are absconded.  But many would argue that this is a factual inaccuracy as to a faux pas of the means by which the medical system of Australia runs.  Perhaps, if you are not an Australian, you would not detect this; thus it is notable as an error as many others who aren't Australians would not note this normally.  Wikipedia is about items of notability.
Perhaps you could argue that in the 'Lost universe', the laws of Australia are more akin to the American producers home countries laws, but again this is a faux pas (and possibly even factually incorrect by US standards IMHO), and thus is notable to our worldly audience of Wikipedia.
Furthermore, the last point I addressed is something that cannot exist in the 'Lost universe', as the patient over a period of a few weeks on ventilation through a tube would develop pneumonia from liquid build up on the lungs and die.
Thus, before you abitrarily revert my edits, reading your talk page, or perhaps the discussion page may be of benefit not only to yourself, but to fellow Wikipedians.  It is impolite to just randomly revert peoples edits because you, personally, believe X or Y.  211.30.75.123 18:56, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: It appears our IP'd friend has gone to bed, which, if he's a fellow Aussie is probably a good idea given that the sun is rising here.  Allow me to field this one.  The information he addressed is common knowledge and thus doesn't fall into the WP:OR category.  I have ammended citations as you requested after your third revert of this information which addresses your WP:CITE and WP:RS concerns.  And with that, I too am hitting the sack for the evening.  <3  Jachin 19:17, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

message: After watching this episode I re-watched the seventh episode of season one "The Moth ". Just after Charlie volunteers to go into the cave to rescue Jack (time 23:25) there is a still of the island in which a series of regularly spaced posts can be seen in the lower left. I've not found any references to these on fansites etc., but I think this may be a little hint to the pylons which are seen in this episode. Uberdude85 11:01, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
