| - Very little is known about the history of the Tempest, although it was built by the DHARMA Initiative some time between the early 1970s and 1977. ("Namaste") As the station's only apparent purpose appeared to be the manufacture and study of deadly gasses, it may be that the station was constructed in response to the escalating tensions between DHARMA and the Hostiles. ("The Other Woman") Kate described the station to the other survivors as a "poison gas factory." ("Ji Yeon")
- The Tempest is a 2010 American comedy-drama film based on the play of the same name by William Shakespeare, featuring Helen Mirren in the principal role of Prospera, David Strathairn as King Alonso, Djimon Hounsou as Caliban, Alfred Molina as Stephano, Chris Cooper as Antonio, Reeve Carney as Ferdinand, Alan Comming as Sebastian, Tom Conti and Gonzalo, Ben Whishaw as Ariel, and Russell Brand as Trinculo. The film is directed by Julie Taymor and premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September 2010.
- The Tempest was the most random DHARMA Station on the Island. It stored deadly gas. No Hurley jokes please.
- There is no obvious single source for the plot of The Tempest, but researchers have seen parallels in Erasmus' Naufragium, Peter Martyr's De orbe novo, and eyewitness reports by William Strachey and Sylvester Jordain of the real-life shipwreck of the Sea Venture on the islands of Bermuda, and the subsequent conflict between Sir Thomas Gates and Sir George Somers. In addition, one of Gonzalo's speeches is derived from Montaigne's essay "Of the Canibales," and much of Prospero's renunciative speech is taken word for word from a speech by Medea in Ovid's poem Metamorphoses. The masque in Act 4 may have been a later addition, possibly in honour of the wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Frederick V in 1613. The play was first published in the First Folio of 1623.
- The Tempest was the last play Shakespeare was able to write before his death. Originally intended to be a short poem, a period of sleepwalking and scribbling created a classic but foreboding tale of an old man's quest for vengeance and justice against the men who made him go on vacation against his will.
- The Tempest might refer to:
* The Tempest (play), a play by William Shakespeare
* The Tempest (novel), a Deep Space Nine novel
- The Tempest was a normal man named Fritz Drizzle who worked as a weatherman for the Edge City News but seem to get the weather wrong sometimes, he blame the station for not giving him the proper weather equitment, after he was fired he tried to ruin a weather statellite but then was struck by lighting which rebounded from the satellite dish onto him and he was mutated into a freak with the ability to control the weather. His First Major appearance was in the episode "Rain of Terror" where he used his powers to seel revenge on Edge City by making a Hailstorm, a blizzard and floods appear. The Mask was able to stop him by opening a manhole which sucked him down, along with the flood waters he created.
- The action takes place on an island which was formerly the home of Sycorax the witch. After the death of Sycorax, Prospero and his three year old daughter Miranda arrived there. Prospero had been the Duke of Milan and had spent most of his time while duke studying magic. Prospero's brother Antonio, with help from King Alonso of Naples, overthrew Prospero. He and Miranda were placed in a boat, the kindly courtier Gonzalo made sure that they had food, water and clothes and that Prospero could take his magical books. When he arrived on the island, Prospero released the spirit Ariel, who had been magically trapped inside a tree by Sycorax, and found Sycorax's son Caliban, described as being ugly and deformed. Prospero made both Caliban and Ariel his slaves.
- The Tempest is the name Olimar gave the metal phantasm that he spotted before he blanked out on Impact Island. It is the final area, and you'll actually go there a few times in the game, but you won't reach the final dungeon until you've completed specific requirements. The Tempest is always wreathed in a storm when it appears, so the "storm" factor will always be at 100% when it rises.
