Confirmed Dead Newspaper - Le Journal de Tunisie

This is a pretty clear good size screen cap, but I cannot make out the date on this newspaper. I really want to know when they found 815. Have you seen this reported anywhere, please leave me a comment if you have.

I went to Babelfish to translate the French to English.

le lavage de cerveau en liberte ="the washing of brain in freedom"
This Article comes up when you search the French title in Google, "Plus efficace encore que les dictatures, le lavage de cerveau en liberté." Google will translate it for you if you let it. This blog was published on November 10, 2007, but was from an interview from August 2007. Here is a translate portion of it:
"In an interview with the France Inter journalist Daniel Mermet, the American intellectual Noam Chomsky analyzes the mechanisms of domination media and puts them in their historical context.He recalled, for example, that totalitarian regimes were based on the springs of advanced communication tools in the United States in the aftermath of the First World War. In addition, he stated that the prospects for social change in today's world, and what might look like utopia for those who, despite the pedagogy of impotence hammered by the media, have not renounced change the world ."

LOST Season 4 Episode 2 Confirmed Dead - Off Island Recap

Confirmed Dead Flashbacks - The Crew of the Helicopter

Off Island
Daniel Faraday (the physicist) Flashback
His is a short flashback. He's watching footage of Flight 815 being found on TV and is strangely sadden by the events. He doesn't know why he is so strongly affected.

Miles Straume (Ghostbuster) Flashback
He goes to an grandmother's house cause busting makes him feel good. Well talking to a dead boy and getting a wad of cash certainly does anyway. He apparently makes contact with the woman's dead grandson, who was murdered, and finds drugs and money. He takes the money and tells the spirit to leave, but leaves the drugs. He also gives the lady half of her money back. In my mind, this does confirm that they are ghost in the world of LOST.

Charlotte Staples Lewis (C.S. Lewis, archaeologist) Flashback
She in in Tunisia in the desert. She too sees confirmation that Flight 815 was found. She doesn't want to believe it apparently. She bribes a man to get into the closed dig. There she finds a polar bear skeleton with a Dharma Hydra Collar. How weird is that?

Frank Lapidus (drunk pilot) Flashback
He too is watching the footage of Flight 815. He however calls the Oceanic hot line and tells the supervisor that the "pilot" they are showing on TV isn't the pilot because he would have never taken off his wedding ring. How does he know? He was supposed to be flying flight 815 and knew the pilot that did.

Naomi (the dead military expert) Flashback
Even though she was dead she too had a flashback. Matthew Abaddon, the scary man that visited Hurley last week, hires her to get this team to the island and back safety. She was the only one of the oddly assembled group with any military training. She asks what is they encounter survivors of 815? Abaddon is adamant that there are no survivors.

Answers:
Oceanic 815 was found and the whole world knows. It was big news all around the globe, in many languages! So survivors being found, when all 324are confirmed dead, would be even bigger news.


Questions:
What is going on with Flight 815?
If that wasn't the pilot, who was it and who put that body and that plane there?
Was it a plant by Abaddon and those at Oceanic or Maxwell Group or something else?
Was it a copy as a result of the Cashmere Effect?
What made Daniel so sad and connected to the find of 815?
What is up with Miles Straume's ghost whispering?
Why were there a Dharma polar bear in the desert?
Why did Abaddon assembly these random people into a team?
What's the connection to C.S. Lewis? (more of this in the on island post)

LOST Confirmed Dead

LOST Season 4 Episode 2 "Confirmed Dead"
Thursday February 7, 2008 9pm - 10:02 pm

ABC's official description: "The survivors begin to question the intentions of their supposed rescuers when four strangers arrive on the island."

There are also two sneak peeks available at ABC.com for Confirmed dead. Be sure to check tomorrow for an updated recap of all the action on island and off island.

Also how cool is it that LOST gets an extra couple of minutes? I think that's awesome.
