Why Did the Lockdown Take Place? - LOST EXPLAINED FAQ

Welcome to the LOST EXPLAINED FAQ. This video series addresses Frequently Asked Questions about LOST and drills down into the specifics of the show. The aim is to answer smaller, more complex questions that deserve their own explorations and deep dives. In this FAQ, we explore the events that took place in the hatch throughout Season Two. There are many lingering mysteries from the second season that need to be unpacked, so you'll find many answers in this one video. Questions answered include: the reasons as to why the lockdown took place; who was talking to Michael on the hatch computer; what Ben's masterplan really was; whether or not The Others knew about The Swan and its purpose; and many more!
