Rescuing you and your people...I can't really say it's our primary objective.

And thus the stage was set for season 4 of LOST.  Season 4 issued in a whole slew of newbies and among them was my beloved Daniel Faraday.  He was deliciously geeky, ridiculously smart and wickedly cute in all his awkward glory.  Faraday was among the members of the freighter who came to the island.  Other 'freighters' included Charlotte (British redhead who Faraday ultimately admits to loving...that's right ladies, he likes red heads :P),  Miles (who talks to dead people),  and Frank otherwise known as Lawnmower Man otherwise known as the supposed original pilot of Oceanic flight 815.  Not there to rescue them as the losties had originally hoped, it turns out the freighters are hired hands of Mr. Charles Widmore and are there to find Ben.  Typical.  Locke spends the entire season searching for Jacob so that he can finish his 'purpose' on the island.  Michael reappears as 'Kevin', a freighter crew member. Keamy and his guns show up to blast the Losties camp to smithereens (don't worry it will be back...).  And then there was that helicopter which finally showed up to gather losties.  Oh yeah..SANS Claire.  Yeah screw you too, Darlton.  If Charlie had to die to save Claire the least you could do was load her up in the heli.  At any rate her storyline was dead boring by this point.  Even a flashback episode (Par Avion) couldn't save her sleepy storyline. Keamy kills Ben's daughter...or rather...Rousseau's daughter Alex though almost at the request of Ben.  So Ben responds by blowing up the freighter.  Goodbye rescue.  Sawyer and Jack play a virtual game of Pong with Kate as the ball bouncing back between them which leads Sawyer to utter the lines ,  

"In about a week you'll find a reason to get pissed at Jack and bounce right back to me." 

in response to her leaving. Again.  It turns out he might actually really love her though, sadly.  He later evacuates the heli mid flight as it runs out of gas and just in time to catch the island's time shift after Ben spins a wheel at the Orchid.  Oh and Penny's boat? Yeah it finally shows up.  Happy times for Desmond after a rough season with flashbacks.  Charlotte dies without finding a constant but Desmond is saved by Penny and then he is very literally...SAVED by Penny.   The six survivors of all this madness return to the real world but are plagued by guilt over those left behind.  All in all...a busy and action filled season.   So the nails...

The thumb represents New Otherton.  The abandoned barracks of the Dharma Initiative and later The Others, which the losties take residence in during the season.

The index finger is the logo for the Oceanic Six: Jack, Kate, Hurley, Aaron, Sun, and Sayid.

The middle finger is the chalkboard shown in The Constant, where Daniel works out his theories at Cambridge and where he ultimately becomes Desmond's life saver.

The ring is homage to Daniel and his cute little skinny tie. :)

The pinkie is the logo for MacCutcheon Whiskey which is a running point of contention (and pissing matches) between Desmond and Mr. Widmore.

On behalf of the DeGroots, Alvar Hanso, and all of us at the DHARMA Initiative, thank you, namaste and...good luck.

So it's day 2 of my Lost-a-thon mani series and that means it's time to break out the jumpsuits!! The Dharma Initiative was introduced in season 2 and let me just say...I'm OBSESSED.  I seriously have all sorts of Dharma swag and even once hosted a LOST party complete with Dharma beer!  Most..OK almost all of my art this season revolves around the enigma that remains the Dharma Initiative.  A lot happened in this season which I didn't cover on my nails. Not because it wasn't important but because I felt that the Dharma is MORE important. :P  There were those annoying Tailies who appeared seemingly out of nowhere and disappeared almost as quickly.  In fact, while season one saw only two major deaths (Ethan Rom and Boone Carlyle), season two seemed almost riddled with it. Shannon is notably taken out by the wrong end of Ana Lucia's gun.  Then later Micheal does everyone a favor by taking out both Ana Lucia and Libby in one fell swoop.  Rousseau captures Henry Gale in her trap and Jack, Sayid and Locke take turns torturing and coddling him for information.  Meanwhile there's that hatch.  Filled with the sexy goodness that is Desmond Hume.  The hatch, otherwise known as Station Three or The Swan Station was the big news on Season 2.  It caused more than one rift between Jack and Locke, acted as a safe ground for Sawyer while he was injured, offered the Losties shelter, food, and access to clean clothing and a shower, gave Hurley a new shot at being a DJ (complete with awesome records like Mama Cass!) and...supplied Charlie with an opportunity to make good on his peanut butter promise to Claire.  All in all, this season moved fast and delved much deeper into the characters and the island that season one had. 

 So the nails...the thumb is the side art from the Blu Ray box.  It depicts the island with dark water and cloudy skies. 

 The index is the opening screen of the Swan Stations orientation film...

"Welcome. I am Dr. Marvin Candle, and this is the orientation film for station 3 of the *DHARMA* Initiative. In a moment you will be given a simple set of instructions for how you and your partner will fulfill the responsibilities associated with the station."

The middle finger is the logo from Mittelos Bioscience which is the front by which the Dharma Initiative allegedly recruits new members like Juliet.

The ring finger is the mad face icon which appears on the screen of the computer inside the hatch just before the numbers are entered "4,8,15,16,23,42, EXECUTE"

The pinkie is the logo from Oceanic Airlines which is the airline which the losties (and the tailies) crashed on. I felt it was more fitting this season since the logo actually appears on the tail of the plane and also one of the tailies, Cindy, was a flight attendant.  

Colors used are listed below! Look for post number three tomorrow at 1:50PM (noticing a pattern yet?)
