"Lost" Who is Faraday? Trivia Quiz

Answer: Daniel

Daniel, more commonly referred to as Dan, is a member of the science team aboard the freighter. The character is named, perhaps, with Michael Faraday in mind. Michael Faraday was a pioneer in the field of electromagnetism.

Answer: head case

Of the four members of the freighter science team, Faraday is characterized as being a "head case," by Naomi. It may be due to Faraday's unsteady and often distracted demeanor. Charlotte is the anthropologist. Miles is the psychic and Frank Lapidus is the helicopter pilot, whom Naomi depicts as a drunk.

Answer: physicist

Faraday describes himself as being a physicist. Sayid asks Faraday what he does for a living. Faraday replies, "I'm a physicist. Well I guess you could call me a physicist, I don't really like being pigeon-holed into one..." Miles interrupts Faraday before he can finish. Miles says, "I swear to God, you say one more word I'm gonna break your fingers."

Answer: The Queen's College, Oxford

Faraday is a professor of physics at The Queen's College, Oxford. He also performs clandestine experiments in time travel, on his own time. Desmond Hume visits Faraday at the college in 1996.

Answer: Desmond

In the fifth episode of the fourth season, entitled, "The Constant," Desmond suffers from amnesia and travels back and forth in time. He must find a "constant," in order to stabilize his presence in the present. Apparently, Faraday is familiar with the side effects associated with time travel, and has written in his notebook, "If anything goes wrong, Desmond Hume will be my constant."

Answer: Charlotte

Faraday has a growing affection for Charlotte. Jin and Sun notice this, and Jin asks Sun, "Do you think she knows he likes her? Sun replies, "She's a woman. She knows."

Answer: Faraday's lab rat

Faraday uses a rat named Eloise to test his time travel theories. Faraday had instructed Desmond to tell him about Eloise, in the event that Faraday did not believe him, when Desmond traveled back to 1996.

Answer: Tempest

Charlotte and Faraday go to the Tempest station in order to deactivate the poison gas mechanism. Kate is explaining to Sun, why Charlotte knocked her out. Kate says, "I guess she didn't wanna have to explain why she was on her way to a poison gas factory. Juliet told Jack that it was a power station." Nevertheless, Faraday is successful in neutralizing the gas, despite the best efforts of Juliet to stop them.

Answer: Yes

Charlotte wants to know what is wrong. Faraday replies that, "Charlotte, did you hear what he said? They're going to the Orchid. They're using the secondary protocol." "We have to get off this island. Right now." Faraday realizes that the secondary protocol involves annihilating all of the inhabitants of the island, and they must leave at once.

Answer: Jeremy Davies

Jeremy Davies portrays the character of Faraday. He has appeared in several notable films and television series. Ironically, it was a 1992 Subaru commercial that garnered a measure of fame for Jeremy Davies. He also appeared in "Saving Private Ryan" and "Twister," among many others. As of the fourth season, the fate of Faraday is undetermined.
