[B]Facts[/B]

    * The Pala Ferry is mentioned in the Pearl Orientation Video. Dr. Mark Wickmund instructs the viewer that they are to use the Ferry at the end of their eight-hour shift for transportation back to the barracks.
    * Michael is given The Others' boat here, along with his son Walt in Live Together, Die Alone. He is told that if he steers it to heading 325 then he will 'find rescue'. 


[B]Possible Connections & References[/B]

    * Dharmapala is a type of wrathful deity in Vajrayana Buddhism. The name means "Dharma-defender" in Sanskrit, and the dharmapalas are also known as the Defenders of the Law (Dharma) or the Protectors of the Law in English.
    * Pala is a utopian island in a book called "Island" by Aldous Huxley ("Brave New World"). (plot summary) 

        * On pg 49, the Rani says, "Nothing happens by Accident. There's a Great Plan, and within the Great Plan, innumerable little plans. A little plan for each and every once of us." This is very similar to the theme from Lost explored with the "Everything happens for a reason" promotional angle that was used in last year's commercials. 

    * It is interesting to note that in Bad Twin, Arthur Widmore, head of the Widmore Corporation, is very in tune with his Scottish heritage.
    * Pala also means "protector." It's the name of a dynasty of Buddhist kings in Bengal. .
          o Although perhaps insignificant in the LOST universe, it is interesting to note that pala means "visor" and "deceive" in Portuguese and "shovel" in Spanish and Italian. 
    * Pala is a town on Atauro Island in East Timor.
    * Pala Lagoon is next to the airport on Tutuila Island, American Samoa, a few miles by water and road from the town of Pago Pago. 

[B]Theories[/B]

    * As we do not know the exact location of the Island, or what surrounds it in the ocean, the Pala Ferry could in fact have been a transport to another nearby island, maybe the base of operations for DHARMA. The Ferry could even be to a well-known island; we have never established where the Losties are for certain.
    * The dock is part of another elaborate hoax (like "The Door").
    * Pala is another island neighboring the DHARMA initiative island.
    * The boat Michael takes might not be the ferry. The dock looks like a bigger boat would stop there?The ferry doesn't have to be a boat
    * Submarine perhaps
          o A submarine may transport personnel to The Flame 
    * This may not be the only Docking point for the ferry, but rather the drop off. If it was the collection point for the inhabitants of the Pearl, then it is situated dangerously close to the dumping point for the filled Dharma notebooks. Therefore the barracks, may be in walking distance of this dock.
