| − | '''Mr. Friendly''' is the name given by the executive producers of the show to one of the members of [[The Others]]. |
||
| − | ==Before the crash== |
||
| − | *Unknown |
||
| − | *We can only assume that he was on the island before Flight 815 crashed. |
||
| − | *As revealed in [[Live Together, Die Alone]], Mr. Friendly's actual name is Tom. Or, at least that's what the Others call him. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==On the island== |
||
| − | * Spokesman of [[The Others]], but subordinate to [[Him]] and perhaps to [[Ms. Klugh]]. |
||
| − | * Scolded [[Ethan]] for not making a list before bringing Claire to the medical hatch. After hearing Ethan's explanation, he replies, "You know what ''[[Him|he's]]'' going to think." Was clean-shaven at the time. |
||
| − | * Led the party which destroyed the second raft, wounded [[Sawyer]], and kidnapped [[Walt]]. |
||
| − | * Overtook [[Michael]], captured him with a sling or bolas, and took him hostage after he set off to find [[Walt]]. |
||
| − | * Confronted [[Jack]], Sawyer, and [[Locke]] when they went after [[Michael]]. |
||
| − | * Warned [[Jack]], Sawyer, and [[Locke]] not to cross "[[The Line]]"; meaning that they were not to explore the northern part of the island. He said that doing so would change the situation from a "misunderstanding" to "something else." |
||
| − | * He asked [[Alex]] to bring out [[Kate]] (however, [[Pickett]] is the one who actually did). |
||
| − | * Held Kate hostage with what appears to be a WWI or WWII vintage German Luger Parabellum P08 or Walther P38 pistol. |
||
| − | * Said that [[Walt]] and the others he took, including [[Emma]] and [[Zack]], are still alive. Referred to Walt as "special." |
||
| − | * While talking to [[Jack]], quoted [[Alvar Hanso]]: "You know, somebody a whole lot smarter than anybody here once said 'Since the dawn of our species man's been blessed with curiosity.' You know the other one about curiosity, don't you, Jack?" |
||
| − | * When Jack accused him of not having any real strength, instead having to rely on spies like [[Ethan Rom]] to infiltrate the survivor's camp and thus learning their names, he replied, "Well that's quite the theory." He then said "Light them up" after which numerous torches were lit, implying that Jack's party were surrounded. ''There was, however, more torches than there were actual people in Mister Friendly's party.'' |
||
| − | * Made Jack, Sawyer, and Locke to surrender their weapons. |
||
| − | * Brought [[Michael]] to the [[Others]]' camp on the beach. |
||
| − | * What seems to be his sock cap and [[fake beard|beard]] are found by Kate in [[The Staff|the Staff]], where [[Claire]] had been taken by Ethan. This, coupled with the fact that he was clean-shaven when Claire saw him, indicates that the beard and dirty clothes are a disguise. |
||
| − | * Was said by [[Henry Gale]] to be "nothing" (in the hierarchy of the [[Others]]) compared to the mysterious "[[He|Him]]". |
||
| − | [[Image:Fake beard and glue.jpg||right|thumb|Presumably the [[fake beard]] used to appear different]] |
||
| − | [[Image:Zeke two.jpg|thumb|right||In the jungle and in the [[The Staff|medical station]]]] |
||
| − | [[Image:Zeke_tattoo.jpg|thumb|right||Tattoo on his chest that could confirm a long time relationship with [[the Dharma Initiative]]]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Theories== |
||
| − | * Responsible for The Others' "Public Relations" |
||
| − | * Sawyer's nickname for him, ''Zeke'' |
||
| − | ** Could be a writer-included reference to the biblical character Ezekiel. |
||
| − | ** Could be because of his stereotypical hillbilly appearance and demeanour. |
||
| − | ** May also be a reference to a [http://muppet.wikicities.com/wiki/Zeke_%28Jugband%29 Muppets] character with wild hair and a shabby beard. |
||
| − | ** Could be a reference to the ''Wizard of Oz'' where Zeke was the person in Kansas who played the Cowardly Lion in Oz, and works for Dorothy's uncle [[Henry Gale]], as would apparently be the case in ''Lost''. |
||
| − | ** Could be a reference to a character in [http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0276033/03CT-10618.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Gainey,%20M.C.&seq=5 The Country Bears], after the style of Sawyer's other many [http://lostpedia.com/wiki/List_of_nicknames#By_Sawyer nicknames]. |
||
| − | ** In the Disney animation "the three pigs", the name of the Big Bad Wolf is Zeke. Also noted is the fact that in the Disney version of the story the wolf uses disguises. The fact that Sawyer used the name Zeke may imply that he could tell that the beard was fake. Also note that Zeke was faced by "three" people from the front half of the plane. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bad_Wolf |
||
| − | * Because we have never learned a true name for Mr. Friendly, it is possible that he is one of the many characters who has been mentioned but never seen: |
||
| − | ** There has been wide speculation that he is actually [[Gerald DeGroot]], one of the founders of [[the Dharma Initiative]], even though some say that the writers have debunked that idea. However, a collection of "screen caps" posted in one of [[The Lost Experience]] (likely) "in-game" [http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/L/lost/blog/index.jsp blog] has added weight to the theory that he is in fact DeGroot, and the woman on his boat was his wife [[Karen DeGroot|Karen]]. |
||
| − | ** Mr. Friendly could potentially be [[Danielle Rousseau]]'s supposedly deceased husband [[Robert]]. |
||
| − | *** Danielle's potential mental instability suggests that she may not actually have killed her team, or she may have been led to believe that she did. |
||
| − | *** Mr. Friendly wears his disguise when roaming about the island so that, along with 16 years of aging and plenty of dirt, Danielle will be unable to recognize him. |
||
| − | *** [[Alex]]'s kidnapping could be explained by the fact that 'Zeke' is her father. In [[Maternity Leave]], Alex appears to be behaving normally, dressing like a normal 16-year-old girl, and she seems to be able to move about [[the Staff]] hatch freely; it doesn't look like she's a captive or an experimental subject. |
||
| − | *** Danielle's Anglicized pronunciation of "Robert" suggests that the real Robert, whoever he is, is not French, but rather British or American (or from some other country where English is the native language), further lending credence to this theory. |
||
| − | * It is possible that [[Sawyer]] had previously met Zeke, which would explain why he knew his supposed name; |
||
| − | ** Sawyer was present during the first two encounters with 'Zeke'. |
||
| − | ** If Sawyer knows him from before, that would explain the need for a disguise. It's possible Zeke is hiding his identity specifically from Sawyer. |
||
| − | ** If Sawyer used Mr. Friendly's actual name, it'd also explain why the disguise was later discarded and found by Kate in [[Maternity Leave]]. |
||
| − | ** It still seems more likely that Sawyer called him "Zeke" because the beard makes him look like a hillbilly. |
||
| − | * When he warns the survivors to keep off from certain parts of the island, it is highly possible it is because one of the Dharma stations lies there - probably [[the door]]. |
||
| − | * A link between the [[Others]] and the Dharma Initiative is confirmed when we see Zeke working in one of the Dharma Stations. ''(The Others may have just "set up shop" in that station, like the 815 survivors have in The Swan Station. Possibly they may have been tricked into thinking the functions of that station are their "save the world task," similar to the 815 survivors having the "push the button" task)'' |
||
| − | * It's been hinted that Zeke has something in common with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characters_from_Arrested_Development#Tobias_F.C3.BCnke Tobias Fünke], an "Arrested Development" character. Tobias Fünke was a psychiatrist and struggling actor. |
||
| − | * Mr. Friendly crashed on the island, like [[Flight 815]], [[Rousseau]]'s science crew or [[Desmond]]'s racing boat. |
||
| − | * There is a character in [[Walt]]'s comic called Maj. Gen. Ezekial Gunther. Mr. Friendly may be related to this character in some fashion. |
||
| − | *He could be him to a certain extent, maybe there is no "[[him]]" but it is just Mr Friendly running the show, the reason "[[he]]" is so feared is because Zeke has another group of people working with him who wreak his vengance etc, or perhaps work for him, these people could be dharma members and the [[others]] are just another group of test subjects on the island. ''(This runs somewhat counter to the devolvment of the character as the series has progressed; by his appearance in [[Three Minutes]] Mr. Friendly appears to be something of an lackey or errand boy and on the surface appears to hold a lesser position in the "[[Others]]" hierarchy when compared to people like [[Ms. Klugh]] and [[Henry Gale]].)'' |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Other appearances == |
||
| − | * Mr. Friendly (or someone looking a lot like him) appeared in the audience of Jimmy Kimmel Live on May 12, 2006. [[J.J. Abrams]] was guest-directing the show. When Jimmy commented on Mr. Friendly's appearance, Mr. Friendly responded with a sentence that was obviously pre-recorded and played backwards.
