Fair enough, but Π isn't Pi. Maybe the article should be moved to the appropriate title. --skks 23:23, 31 August 2006 (PDT)

This is the uppercase version of pi. Due to the way MediaWiki is made you can't use lowercase letters at the start of page names; I presume that's the same for greek letters.

There can be no uppercase or lowercase on mathematical symbols without changing their meaning. The symbol of Pi is a small cap greek letter and it can't be used as an url, the current one is only similar to the greek alphabet that represents of the uppercase of the Pi symbol. --skks 03:49, 1 September 2006 (PDT)

What I did was cut and paste the symbol from IMDb's official movie title over, and that's what the Pi came out to after wikification. I have an article called just "Pi" that redirects here, also. Sysops are welcome to move over the main article there if they wish. --PandoraX 07:06, 1 September 2006 (PDT) ETA: You know, it's so funny, I never noticed that regular users can move pages themselves, and it's so simple :) I just took care of it just now.

Analysis request

• The article text states that Lindelof considers ? as an ode to Pi. Can someone go through the storyline and themes of Pi and "?", because the current analysis of "parallels to Lost" is more general and does not seem to be specific to the episode "?". -- ^C¯ _Santa_ ¯^T14:46, 20 November 2006 (PST)

• I don't think it's meant to reflect the plot directly. I think he just meant that the show is honoring some of the cinemtography choices that Aranofsky might have made, though this is just speculation. It'd also be speculation about any plot points that could parallel Pi, so I personally would leave this section alone, because we'd all be guessing what he meant... I think if people want to analyze it in greater detail, they could put in theories. --PandoraX 15:09, 20 November 2006 (PST)

Just the Facts

I was reviewing this page thanks to the rewrite nomination, and found that some of the facts were a little wrong after I read the cited articles. Apparently, Aronofsky contacted Lost asking to direct, he wasn't recruited by them, and I didn't see any mention that the episode was an "ode" to the movie, or any credits to him regarding the themes of the series.

In light of the new facts, despite the parallels some people have proposed, it looks like any connections are speculation at this point, and the writers of Lost haven't confirmed any intentional allusions or references to Aronofsky's movies. As a result, I'm going to move the parallels to the Theory section. EncyclopediaBrown 03:54, 6 December 2006 (PST)

The writers don't have to confirm uncanny similarities, if many exist and its significant, it should be under the main article as it counts as valid trivia --Nickb123 (Talk) 04:14, 6 December 2006 (PST)

Ok. Also, regarding the Fibonacci series -- it doesn't appear anywhere on the Blast Door Map, and mathematically The Numbers are also a set, albeit a finite one.EncyclopediaBrown 20:52, 6 December 2006 (PST)
