"Revelation" Trivia Quiz

Answer: Jack and Ana-Lucía

Through brief flashbacks the chance occurrences and pivotal relations before the doomed flight are illuminated.
Upon their meeting in the airport bar, Ana initiates a conversation with Jack and a series of three questions are exchanged when she inquires about his absence of a ring. Ana told jack that she was sitting in the very back of the plane, and asked if he wanted to trade seats. (Sayid asks Shannon one question, to watch is his bag while he goes to the shops, to which she carelessly responds "sure, whatever". Michael is seen on the phone with his mother discussing what to do with his unexpected custody of Walt, but does not speak to Walt at this time.)
Meanwhile, Charlie scrambles to find the stash of drugs in his littered hotel room before catching the flight. (His female companion, visibly an addict, asks if he wants to get a fix before he goes.)
After boarding the plane, Jack is seen briefly discussing the turbulence with the woman next to him (Rose) while she waits for her husband to return from the bathroom.
Suddenly, the plane is shaken and torn in two. Some forty thousand feet below, the tail comes crashing into the ocean and sends a wave up the beach.
The narrator continues, skillfully puzzling the mystery of the island location. "A plane breaks apart, somewhere over the South Pacific."

Answer: False

Post-crash of the doomed flight, the narrator continues, "Two groups of passengers survive, separated on different parts of the same island."
However, recall that the plane had actually broken in three pieces: the tail, the fuselage and the cockpit. The cockpit was located in the valley sixteen hours later by three fuselage survivors, at which time the pilot (who had survived) was killed by the island "monster". The transceiver was obtained and proved to be a very useful device-- picking up the French woman's transmission, among other uses after being repaired by Sayid-- until it was lost on the raft. Charlie also found his heroin bag, which he had been about to flush in the bathroom just before the turbulence.
Immediately after the crash, the "tailies" battled to swim to shore while the fuselage group attempted to avoid engine explosions. Among each side two leaders emerged, bringing relief among the panic and fear.
On the first few days, the fuselage group encountered several appearances by the tree-crushing "monster", as well as the polar bear. Both these phenomenon were noticeably missing from the other side, whose survivors found a perilous battle against a different force.

Answer: Rescue

Initial, uncertain interactions began to take place between the groups of strangers-- 23 on one side, 48 on the other-- who found themselves stranded and isolated from the "real world". By result of the strange events, individuals who would otherwise never have spoken found themselves relying on one another for hope, comfort, and survival.
The narrator proceeds, "Recovery and rescue." The bodies were removed from the ocean and a signal fire blazed an S.O.S. on the beach.
Meanwhile, food rations were being divided and another signal fire burned beneath the starlit skies.
One pair, a husband and wife separated with the pieces of the plane, maintained a promising connection which linked the two sides in their search for reunion.
Frightened survivors inquired to one another-- where were the rescuers?

Answer: uncover

Between both sides, using information from the pilot and the flight's only surviving crew member, a recreation can be made of the final moments Flight 815 in air. At an altitude of 40,000 feet the plane hit an air pocket and dropped. Communication was lost and the plane flew in the wrong direction for two hours without detection. Headed for Fiji, 1,000 miles off course, the plane went down in pieces. As far as the outside world knew, the entire plane and passengers had vanished. The truth was made clear: no rescue was coming, because they were looking in the wrong place.
Divisions emerged among the survivors. Each is of an unknown background, and a different place on the road of life-- and each carries with them dark secrets from the past.
While some relocated into settlement, others refused to succumb to long-term residence on the island. Desperate not to let his son "grow up on this place", Michael began construction of a raft as means of escape. While he felt that it was time the survivors took control of their own destiny, some felt that this was their destiny. Upon further exploration of their side of the island, Locke and Boone came upon a new discovery-- a hatch on the jungle floor-- which gave mystified wonder and chilling puzzlement to the bizarre place on which they had landed.

Answer: crash

On the other side of the island-- the aura of which seemed to grow more disturbing and discontented by the day-- the trauma had only just begun. On the first night, a stealthy group of strangers invaded the camp. Two were killed, three survivors went missing.
With extreme uneasiness, it is realized that there are others on this island that had come before them. The haunting reality of the hunt for survival emerges, as one group's hidden agenda coincides with less credible motives.
And no trust can be forged when there may already be an enemy behind your own lines. The narration progresses, "Suspicion turns to paranoia. But has the real threat been discovered?"
Neither group is safe, as adversaries walk among them. Nine more tail survivors fall victim to Goodwin's "list" while the elusive Nathan is under accusation. Meanwhile, Ethan Rom abducts the pregnant Claire and murders one (almost two) fuselage survivors. Fault and blame fall upon one another, while the "Others" continue to prowl the jungles.

Answer: redemption

This seems to refer specifically to Mr. Eko, who takes a 40 day vow of silence after killing two "Others" in self defense. While carving scripture words into his walking stick (one of which being "revelation"), Mr. Eko seems to epitomize the struggle of every survivor to find faith and hope amidst chaos. As time progresses, the individual conflicts are encompassed by the island (which seems to eerily connect to each of their former lives) and interconnects with faith and fate.
Meanwhile, new island discoveries reflect the encounters of their counterparts on the other side. One underground bunker-- containing a Dharma logo like that in the hatch, as well as a Holy Bible, radio, and other items-- is located by the tail group as they hike through the jungle. Items found within the place are as perplexing as the "storage facility" itself.
Also, Ana's final conversation with Goodwin yields further insight into the ulterior motives of the kidnapping "Others". (Ethan was killed before he had a chance to answer any questions.) From the viewpoint of an "Other" it is learned that the objective is not to "attack". Rather, a "list" of the "good" people seemed to be compiled as criteria for who was to be kidnapped. An obsession with children is also a main factor in the practices of the "Others". Where they came from and how they came to be on the island are yet to be learned.
By the time the tailies make it through the jungle, five remain alive. When they reach the camp, it is down to four. With such devastating of circumstances, it is increasingly difficult for most to find the ability to hope for "redemption".

Answer: cry

While hardships are endured by both groups, it is the tail section which seems to sustain the greater part of the island's cruelness. After killing another person-- to avoid being victim herself-- Ana sees the distraught and hopeless faces of the four remaining companions.
Everyone has a threshold of endurance, and even a leader breaks down. With such a small group, the surviving members of the tail section created a far stronger sense of unity amongst themselves than did the much larger crowd from the fuselage. (Only a dozen or so interacted on a regular basis, with the rest appearing periodically among them.) Nonetheless, the survivors throughout inevitably formed connections: allies, enemies, attractions and friendships. Even those seeming least likely to tolerate one another become deeply united. (Boone and Locke, Shannon and Sayid, and Jin, Michael and Sawyer, for instance.)
Such interactions are the result of an interesting situation which seems to occur, when the person you never would have met nor spoken to becomes the person you need to survive.

Answer: Locke has a "vision" of a plane crash on the island

After the discovery of the hatch in the jungle, Boone and Locke became constant companions in their efforts to unearth the mysterious steel door. Locke, holding an unyielding sense of opinion that the island held a precise, guarded destiny for each of the survivors.
Indeed the island seems to hold an uncanny ability to bring forth the past experiences of the individuals-- sometimes manifesting the memories into authentic physical phenomenon-- and every dream or vision holds significance beyond present understanding.
After "seeing" a small plane circle the sky erratically and plunge into the jungle, Locke becomes certain that the experience was in response to his request for a "sign" of where to go.
Hence, the Nigerian beech craft. Balanced precariously on the edge of a cliff, Boone encounters stockpiles of ceramic statues of the Virgin Mary inside. Meanwhile, Locke's legs appear to be easing back into the paralysis from which he had miraculously encountered.
For the first time, contact is made between the two groups of survivors through a brief radio transmission:
"Hello? Hello? We're the survivors of the flight of Oceanic 815, please copy."
To which Bernard responds, on the radio found in the bunker: "We're the survivors of flight 815."
Ana quickly retrieved the radio, convinced that they are being "drawn out" and that there are no other survivors.
Meanwhile the beech craft tumbled from the cliff side, leading to Boone's death from the injuries he sustained.
Between the visions of ghosts, mysterious whispering, and bizarre creatures allusions begin to meld with reality.
Only one question remains as a result of all which occurred-- to where does it all lead?

Answer: False

It is day 40, and a long-awaited expedition is about to begin as Michael, Sawyer, Jin and Walt depart on Michael's handmade raft. In hopes of finding rescue, the four begin a voyage into the unknown-- and ends in disaster.
This was a first launch attempt, but a second raft. Michael had built a raft prior to the one on which they sailed, and it was burnt to the ground by Walt (who became anxious and didn't want to leave the island). Walt had mentioned his fear of drowning and, ironically, getting attacked by sharks. Walt has a change of heart the night before the second raft is to depart, however-- suddenly he has become insistent that they must leave.
While the launch attempts to find help, another journey brings Jack, Kate, Locke and Hurley to the hatch. Whether it is a site of salvation or Pandora's Box, determination for answers propels investigation.
An explosion leaves the forbidden entrance-- stamped with a large "Quarantine" warning-- open and accessible.
As the survivors communicate among themselves, Jack and Locke face one another in their ongoing clash of beliefs-- man of science versus a man of faith. Such a contrast is consistently enforced by the difference between black and white: did the plane crash on the island with the 48 survivors because of coincidence, or because of fate?
Locke insists that "each one of us was brought here for a purpose". Given the depth of each survivor's interrelation (before crashing, and after) this is probably true.
But is the purpose really by cause of fate, or something far more calamitous? The more the island reveals itself, the more there is to learn. If "the island" had brought Flight 815 and all of its passengers-- main group and tail-- as well as those who came before, perhaps far more than destiny awaits the survivors.

Answer: soon

Literally.
On the 40th day, the raft voyage found a tragic ending. A speedboat had departed from a nearby location (the island), and was in fact heading back. Interrupted by a distress flare, the "Others" came upon the jubilant survivors. On board was a bearded man who threatened them, a pair of identical twins (one of whom shoots Sawyer, and both of which attack Michael for Walt), and a bomb-tossing woman who sends an explosion blazing into the night.
On day 41, a new "eye" is seen, in the same way Jack's was on the day of the crash. Here, inside the hatch, was contained the answer to one of the most intriguing investigations. An introductory film describing a strange organization, a hatch inhabitant familiar to Jack, a timer and a number code containing Hurley's cursed numbers (known to the French woman, on the hatch, and the original transmission emitting from the island) leave only more unanswered questions.

Answer: destiny

Before Jack, Kate and Locke encounter Desmond in his peculiar living quarters, a glimpse is given into his routine activities as the sole occupant. A cycle of circles-- a spinning record playing the dated song "Make Your Own Kind of Music", the turning of the exercise bicycle wheels (with the speedometer fixed on 16 mph), the swirling of water as he washed a bowl-- reflect the repetition and monotony of daily life.
The activity seems normal enough, until a noise sends the inhabitant into panic. He stands with a loaded rifle, peering through a periscope and realigning the mirrors as the startled Jack and Locke peer in by torch light above.
The narrator reconsiders destiny. "... or is it better left alone?"

Answer: Jin

The first discovery by Libby and Cindy on the beach leads to the capture of a mysterious stranger in the water. The narrator proclaims that "one discovery begins to provide answers" as Mr. Eko attempts to interrogate Jin.
Jin awakens, incredulous, and escapes to the beach just as Michael and Sawyer return to shore. All three are made captive by the tail section, each believing they are facing the dreaded "Others", until the confusion is resolved. Both groups are joined and set off to reunite on the site of the main group, opposite the island of the tail section.
Meanwhile, Desmond reveals to the hatch explorers the story of how he came to be on the island three years ago, after crashing into the reefs on his "solo race around the world". He met Kelvin, who brought him to the hatch and claimed he must press the button every 108 minutes in order to "save the world".

Answer: Mr. Eko finds Jack and Kate

The narrator announces that "the search begins."
Various expeditions across the island lead on scattered tracks and weave back to one common destination.
While both Shannon and Michael search for Walt in the danger-ridden jungle, Sayid, Jin, and Mr. Eko follow in close pursuit.
Through the dizzying landscape, the traveling "Others" are seen once again. An overpowering sense of stealth and uniformity surrounds the strangers, and the haunting image of a dangling teddy bear passes before the eyes of Jin and Eko.
The narrator supplies, "The search continues for the father desperate to find his son."
Michael is found and brought back to the group, and the trek continues towards the main survivors' camp. The hike proves life-threatening for the ill Sawyer, and also claims another of the tail survivors.
As Jack and Kate engage in a lighthearted golf game, with Mr. Eko approaching with Sawyer, the unavoidable is warned.
It is a collision which will change everything, beginning with the fatal shot ringing through the island-- it seems meeting was only the beginning.

Answer: Jack and Kate

In the midst of the inner turmoil faced on the island, Kate and Jack share their first kiss. The event leaves Kate torn, and the narrator surveys her reaction: "What do you do when you want to hold on, but your instincts tell you to run?"
Jack is hurt and bewildered, and stumbles upon another of his old acquaintances when he sees Ana-Lucía once again. It is a new turn in the relationship Jack once had with Kate (and she returns to the hatch to be with the recovering Sawyer).
Meanwhile, Sayid carries Shannon's lifeless body and the tailies return to the beach.

Answer: "Two groups, separated, at last reunited."

The narrator first contemplates, "Reunion, but at what price?"
After forty eight days apart, the tail section people (with the rafters) finally return to the remaining forty passengers of the fuselage. Rose and Bernard and Sun and Jin are together at last, while Jack and Ana Lucía reconvene their initial meeting. Eko and Locke, the two philosophical believers, bring together two pieces of the spliced Dharma film to reveal that communication is forbidden via the microcomputer processor.
At the same time, Michael believes he has finally made contact with the missing Walt.
The narrator completes the saga with, "Two groups, separated, at last reunited."
However joyful the occasion, the torment and difficulties are far from over. The rejoining of the group brings about new and unforeseen results, and new dynamics among the passengers believed to have been lost long ago. The way in which they will progress from two groups to one is a central focus of the second half of season two.
