SIMILARITIES BETWEEN
LOST & RETURN TO SHANGRI-LA
• Conway states that due to the cold temperatures and “icy winds” in Shangri-la, “…I sometimes think that if I were creating and idyll, I might choose a South Seas island…” – Page 232
• Nicholas Brent states to Conway, “The sixties must have worried you. The Cuban missle crisis…” in reference to how close mankind has come to destroying itself just as Alvar Hanso mentions the Cuban missle crisis being the event that led to the creation of the Valenzetti Equation and ultimately the Dharma Initiative in the Sri Lanka orientation film. – Page 247
• Conway states, “I doubt whether the birthrate can ever keep up with the deathrate, which is of course one of our hopes.” In regards to maintaining the population in Shangri-la through procreation. There is a similar problem on the Island with no child or mother surviving pregnancy. – Page 250
• A helicopter appears out of nowhere in the Valley of the Blue Moon and then Shangri-la just as a helicopter appears out of no where on the Island. – Page 271
• Nicholas Brent speaks of spending a weekend in “Tunisia or Copenhagen.” What are the odds that those two places mentioned would just coincidentally be very significant locales in the world of Lost. Tunisia is where everyone and everything ends up when they are transported off the Island by means of turning the Frozen Donkey Wheel. Copenhagen, Denmark is where the Hanso Foundation that funded the Dharma Initiative is. – Page 276
• There is a mention of cages holding creatures that are similar in concept to Yeti that live in the Himalayan mountains around Shangri-la and are being studied and utilized in the Valley of the Blue Moon, much the way there are cages that once held polar bears for study by Dharma on The Island.
