Match 11: The Black Rock was a trading ship supposedly heading for Thailand, from Portsmouth in England. It became shipwrecked on the mysterious island, and somehow ended up considerably far inland, surrounded by forest. The ship provided our Losties with dynamite, and it was also the setting for the long awaited Sawyer/Sawyer confrontation. The Dharma Submarine, known as the Galaga, was used as a means for Dharma personnel to travel between the island and the real world. It was later used by "the Others" to fit the same purpose. The submarine was supposedly destroyed by Locke. Danielle's maps of the island contain detailed information about the island. She created the maps during her time stranded on the island. Sayid later acquired the maps (stole them) and Shannon was able to translate some of the text on the maps. The Black & White Stones were discovered within the island caves. The stones were found in the possession of two corpses, referred to as Adam and Eve. Black & White is a common theme throughout Lost.
Match 12: The Swan Station Wall Mural is a large painting illustrating a number of various different objects, colours and numbers. Most notably, it depicts the number 108, a large eye, and what appears to be a struggle between two people. Jacob's Fire Pit is located within the secret confines of Jacob's statue home. It sits at the centre of his dwelling. During the confrontation between Jacob, Flocke and Ben, Jacob's lifeless body was kicked into the fiery pit. Radzinsky's Blast Door Map contains detailed information about the Dharma Initiative stations. After Radzinsky "blew his brains out", hatch partner Kelvin took over the duty of completing the map. The map appeared to Locke during a frantic scene involving a complete lockdown of the Swan Station. Locke memorized the map and used the information to his advantage. Locke's Compass is a paradox that appears to defy the laws of time. It was passed from Richard to Locke, then back to Richard, and then back to Locke again - all during the time jumps. What this seems to imply is that the compass never had a beginning, as least not within the time line we have witnessed.

Update: 21:40 Here is the official press release
ABC ANNOUNCES THE PREMIERE OF THE SIXTH AND FINAL SEASON OF “LOST,” WITH A SPECIAL ALL-NIGHT EVENT ON TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2
ABC announces the premiere of the sixth and final season of “Lost,” with a special all-night event on Tuesday, February 2. A recap special will kick
off the night from 8:00-9:00 p.m., ET, followed by the much anticipated two-hour premiere from 9:00-11:00 p.m.
The series will then air in its regular time period – Tuesday nights from 9:00-10:00 p.m., ET – beginning the following week, on February 9.
“Lost” stars Naveen Andrews as Sayid, Nestor Carbonell as Richard Alpert, Emilie de Ravin as Claire, Michael Emerson as Ben, Jeff Fahey as Frank
Lapidus, Matthew Fox as Jack, Jorge Garcia as Hurley, Josh Holloway as Sawyer, Daniel Dae Kim as Jin, Yunjin Kim as Sun, Ken Leung as Miles,
Evangeline Lilly as Kate, Terry O’Quinn as Locke and Zuleikha Robinson as Ilana.
“Lost” was created by Jeffrey Lieber and J.J. Abrams & Damon Lindelof. Abrams, Lindelof, Bryan Burk, Jack Bender, Edward Kitsis, Adam Horowitz, Jean Higgins and Carlton Cuse serve as executive producers. “Lost.” which is filmed entirely on location in Hawaii and premiered on September 22,2004, is from ABC Studios.
A 2008 recipient of the prestigious Peabody Award, and awarded the 2005 Emmy and 2006 Golden Globe for Best Drama Series, "Lost" returns for its final season of action-packed mystery and adventure -- that will continue to bring out the very best and the very worst in the people who are lost.
Oceanic Air flight 815 tore apart in mid-air and crashed on a Pacific island, leaving 48 passengers alive and stranded on a remote island in the South Pacific. The survivors include a diverse group of people from different walks of life -- a doctor, an escaped fugitive, a con man, an Iraqi interrogator, a married Korean couple and a man formerly confined to a wheelchair who is now inexplicably healed. As the castaways attempt to get home, flashbacks (and forwards) illuminate their troubled lives before and after the crash, as the island that they find themselves stranded on begins to slowly reveal its mysterious nature. Faith, reason, destiny and free will all clash as the island offers opportunities for both corruption and redemption... but as to its true purpose? That's the greatest mystery of all.
The survivors discovered that the island holds many secrets, including a mysterious smoke monster, polar bears, housing and hatches with electricity and hot & cold running water, a group of island residents known as "The Others," and a mysterious man named Jacob. They've found signs of those who came to the island before them, including a 19th century sailing ship called The Black Rock, a downed Beechcraft plane from a failed drug run, the remains of an ancient, four-toed statue, as well as bunkers belonging to the Dharma Initiative -- a group of scientific researchers who inhabited the island in the recent past. The survivors also encountered a freighter stationed off the island that some thought would lead to their rescue, but ultimately almost caused their extinction. And Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, Sun and Claire's son, Aaron -- known as the Oceanic 6 - actually escaped the island and made their way back into the world. But their stay turned out to be short-lived since the island wasn't through with them, yet.
With only 18 original hours left until the final episode airs in 2010, the island's violent shifts through time were ended by Locke when he traveled off-island in an attempt to persuade the Oceanic 6 to return. Back on the island, the survivors' stay in late '70s Dharmaville was over when their covers were blown and they were accused of aiding "The Others," and Sayid was gravely wounded during their flight. In addition, Ben killed Jacob at Locke's request. But since Locke's body was found to still be inside the coffin, exactly who - or what - is John Locke? And if Juliet was successful in detonating the hydrogen bomb, was she able to reset time, allowing Oceanic Air 815 to land safely in Los Angeles, or was the island destroyed along with all of its inhabitants?
The band of friends, family, enemies and strangers must continue to work together against all odds if they want to stay alive. But as they have discovered during their journey, nothing is what it seems, and danger and mystery loom behind every corner, with even those they thought could be trusted turning against them. Even heroes - and leaders -- have secrets

Match 9: Within the stone walls of his statue home, Jacob wove a large tapestry portraying the winged eye of Horus. Servants kneel before the eye. The tapestry also features harvest workers and sail ships. When Desmond first arrived on the island, he was approached by a man (named Kelvin) in a bright yellow hazmat suit, then taken to the hatch. Desmond later found that the hazmat suit was to protect from illness on the island, which turned out to be a lie. During the island flashes, Daniel and Desmond had an exchange, in which Desmond was wearing the hazmat suit. Jeremy Bentham's coffin revealed to us the true identity of Jeremy Bentham, in a scene that shocked and stunned viewers. Locke's wheelchair represents Locke's life before the island. It represents his struggles since losing the ability of his legs. The wheelchair was his bane, and prevented him from pursuing his dreams. After arriving on the island and miraculously regaining his ability to walk, he decided to burn the wheelchair in the fuselage fire.
Match 10: The mysterious cabin, once referred to as Jacob's cabin, seemed to appear and disappear at its choosing. The cabin was supposedly built by Horace, and was the setting to many interesting scenes, the most recent of which involved Ilana and her group burning the cabin down. Many theorize that the cabin was a prison. The freighter ship was sent to seek out the island by a certain Mr. Charles Widmore. The personnel on board were hired by Widmore for their particular expertise. The intentions of some of Widmore's recruits were a little less than favourable, which ultimately led to the destruction of the freighter ship. The Swan Station Orientation film was our first real glimpse at the people behind the scientific island structures; the Dharma Initiative. Narrated by "Dr. Marvin Candle", the film offered a brief history of the initiative, as well as the purpose and procedures of the Swan Station. The Nigerian plane was intended to smuggle heroin out of the country, but fate had it crash onto the island. The plane was discovered by Locke and Boone. Boone lost his life to the plane, the onboard heroin offered up a challenge for Charlie, and Eko was eventually reunited with his brother, Yemi.

Match 7: The Orchid Station Orientation Video introduced Locke to the notion of time travel. In the video, Pierre Chang ("Dr. Edgar Halliwax") makes mention of space and time, negatively charged "exotic matter", and electromagnetic energy. He is about to explain a demonstration on a bunny rabbit, but the video begins to rewind uncontrollably. The Circle of Ash is just that, and it formed a large circle around the mysterious cabin. It is thought that the ash acted as a boundary to keep someone or something at bay, like a prison. During Ilana and Bram's discovery of the cabin in Season 5, it was found that the circle of ash had been disturbed. The Four Toed Statue was first spotted by Sun, Sayid and Jin during their scouting mission. We didn't know then just how significant the statue was, but we now know it to be the home of Jacob. Prior to its destruction, the statue stood in the form of Egyptian goddess Taweret. An ankh was held in each hand. The Swan Station Computer Terminal was the bane of Desmond's island existence. It kept him confined to the Swan Station, having to input a series of numbers every 108 minutes in order to "save the world". Prior to Desmond's arrival on the island, it was Kelvin's job to push the button, and before that Radzinsky's. Later, Locke would take over the duty, but it was ultimately Locke that led to the computer's destruction, as well as the destruction of the station itself.
Match 8: Charlie's Guitar is another of Charlie's prized possessions. It was used as a bargaining chip, by Locke, to help Charlie move passed his drug addiction. Locke's Suicide Letter held a simple and powerful message. It was addressed to Jack, and simply said "I wish you had believed me". One of the most prominent questions at the moment is, who and what are Jacob and his adversary? They first appeared to us during a rather cryptic scene, in which they were wearing their respective shirts; one light, one dark. Are the white shirt and black shirt significant to their intentions? Or are we, the viewers, being misled. The Hatch Door was inadvertently discovered by Boone. It was one of our first major clues that the island was more than it seemed. After failed attempts at trying to open the door, it was Boone's death that led Locke to the brink of despair. It was during that time that a beam of light shot up from the hatch door, renewing Locke's faith.

Match 5: The Jughead was one of the centrepieces of Season 5. "Bury it", Daniel told his mother, which they did, only then for the bomb to be resurrected as part of a daring plan to alter the timeline of the island and indeed the world. Did it work? We shall see. One of Charlie's cherished possessions, the Driveshaft ring remained with him for his stay on the show, before being passed down to Aaron. We eventually found out that it wasn't a tour ring at all, but a ring representative of "Dexter Stratton". We still don't know what is/was inside Hurley's guitar case, only that it was passed on to him by Jacob. Some theorize that it contains something vitally important, whilst others think that it was merely a floatation device for when Hurley flashed into the island lagoon. Old time favourite, Michael's Raft, was built by Michael, Jin and Sawyer, and was intended as a means of salvation. The first raft got toasted, but the second raft had a successful launch. Hopes were shattered when the raft was intercepted by The Others, and Walt was kidnapped. The Raft was mostly destroyed by an explosive.
Match 6: Following the crash of Oceanic flight 815, the tail end survivors got the worst of it. Eko was forced to kill, in order to protect his fellow survivors, and as a result he created what we now refer to as Eko's Stick, or the Jesus Stick. It is a stick upon which he inscribed scriptures from the bible. Following Eko's death, the stick offered Locke the inspiration and knowledge that he needed to continue on his journey. Ben's ninja baton has appeared a few times, but the most notable appearance was in the Tunisia desert. Ben was approached by two armed men on horseback and forced to surrender. But surrender he did not. He flipped open his baton and put to work his incredible close-combat fighting skills. Sawyer's Letter defines the journey of Sawyer's character. Written as a child, the letter remained with him throughout his entire life. It was his every intention to deliver the letter to "Mr. Sawyer" personally, and then to get his revenge. Perhaps it was indeed fate that eventually brought our Sawyer and Anthony Cooper together. Within the darkened confines of the Black Rock ship, Sawyer was finally able to get his closure. The Apollo Chocolate bar is one of those props that doesn't hold a massive significance, but it doesn't need to, because it is instantly recognisable as being a part of the LOST universe. Not only that, but it is probably one of the single most recognisable pieces of the show.

Match 1: Room 23 was an unforgettable Lost location, and what better prop to represent the room than the glowing blue brainwashing glasses. The Orchid Station time travel pod was designed to harness the special properties of the island, or more specifically the frozen wheel. One small hop for a white rabbit, one giant leap for the Dharma Initiative. Daniel's Journal contained much mathematical knowledge, a lot of which seems to pertain to the island itself, but it was "Desmond Hume will be MY constant" that played a significant role in our understanding of the show. Charlie's FATE, or LATE, was perhaps our first real hint that the fates of our Losties were already decided. These tiny finger decorations would later act as a breadcrumb trail, in the search for a certain Mr. Ethan.
Match 2: As if the underground temple cavern wasn't astonishing enough, the camera then focused in on the wall mural of the god Anubis and what appears to be the Smoke Monster. The mural sits above the Cerberus vent. It seems to indicate that the Smoke Monster has long existed. The photo of Desmond & Penny caused a bit of a stir when the female in the shot mysteriously changed, and again when it appeared that there was more than one copy of the photograph. Still, it has played an important role in the character development and story telling of fan favourite Desmond. The Ancient Hieroglyphic Door is just that, and it is located within one of the Dharmaville houses. It offered Ben right of entry to an underground grotto , in which he was able to summon the Smoke Monster via a hole in the ground. Locke's Orange Peel isn't a piece that holds a lot of meaning, but it is a piece that is instantly recognisable. It offered up a rather surreal moment, when a disturbed Kate was removing the boots from a deceased Oceanic passenger. Locke merely smiled at her, revealing the bright orange peel. It was apparent there and then that Locke would be an interesting character.
