Answer: an unnamed island in the Pacific Ocean

The flight was going from Sydney (Australia) to Los Angeles (USA), but was pulled off course and was heading toward Fiji when it crashed. The island had been inhabited by a research group called the Dharma Initiative, and also had a group known as "The Others" who lived there. Surprisingly, given the intent of these populations to live there indefinitely, no one seems to have given the island an official name through the first five seasons.

Question by player lowtechmaster

Answer: Basset Hound

Lt. Columbo was a homicide detective played by Peter Falk in a long number of TV shows from 1968 to 2003. The disheveled detective usually lulled the chief suspect into a false sense of security, and almost always got his man, or woman. In the episode "Etude In Black" (1972), Columbo found the Basset Hound in a dog pound and adopted him.

After much debate, he finally named his new pal "Dog". The unattainable hound was usually seen lolling about in Columbo's car and was noted for his love of ice cream.
