"Lost" TV Show - Currently Season 2 (US aired)


Recommended Posts

Actually, the first season is supopsed to be the first 40 days on the island.

And yes, after a week or two, the men should be sporting some sort of beard. I know if I don't shave for two weeks, I start looking like a bum. So some of those guys should have somewhat of a beard by now.

What about their hair? No one's hair has grown, especially Jack's.

Come on man, it's a show. If they had to keep track of hair, facial hair, etc. every week it would be an even more insane task to shoot the damn show than it already is. They're already shooting on-location on an island, on beaches, in the woods. Everyone looks like they've been lost for quite some time if you ask me. Their clothes are dirty and worn, most of the men DO have overgrown facial hair of some kind... I just don't think they want to have to keep track of the ULTIMATE little details for every episode, everything seems to work fine in context anyway.

I have do disagree with the people talking about mysterious magical powers and voodoo curses. As far as I can tell, every single thing that has happened so far has had a rational explaination of some kind. Some things are left unanswered, but my feeling is the show is not going to end up being about some weird voodoo curse and people on a "lost world". Abrams likes to include faith in Alias, but never goes so far as to say that what is happening is somehow mystical, it's always predictions of the future that unfold as self-fullfilling prophecies -- events that become inevitable as the characters make decisions based on what they "know" will or must happen, or are influenced by outside forces (that have so far never been mystical, mostly just people and organizations intent on fulfilling their interests at all costs). This seems obvious by the way the story unfolds about the numbers. Just because it has driven people mad and they believe it is some kind of curse, that does not mean it IS a curse, I believe it is something much deeper, definately not evil being unleashed or any of that hooplah.

Obviously, what you're saying is true, from a production standpoint. Based on interviews that I've read, however, the executive producers want to keep the show as realistic as possible. One of the main reasons that I am hindered from feeling this "realism" is the fact that over the course of the month or so that they've been stranded on this island, no one's hair has grown. Facial hair is a different story, as I'm sure people brought razors with them on the plane that they could very well be using now.

Don't get me wrong; "Lost" is definitely one of my top 3 favorite shows airing on television today. But that doesn't mean I find it 100% flawless.

  • 3 weeks later...

Moo. I mean bump :p

Just saw the preview for next week :woot:

Looks like a small 2 propeller plane crashes and Locke says "The island is trying to take [it /whatever the island did to him] back" or something

Looks like he couldnt walk any more :/

Boone is seen talking on the radio and then you hear a womans voice saying "Hello?"

I haven't really been watching the show, but I was flipping through today and I found it odd they seem to have cell phones, which also seem to work somehow since someone was talking to someone else on one...why don't they just call for help? Or was I wrong and that wasn't a (working) cell phone?

doh.

they probably are using razors.

:)

whats with the hatch and numbers?

No one had a cellphone, as far as I recall. And even if they did you'd need a celltower in the general area to call someone... which I doubt the island has. You may be referring to the ham radio they made.

585662685[/snapback]

Good point!

BTW, those numbers are really beginning to creep me out!!

4 8 15 16 23 42

Lenny really freaked when Hurley told him that he used the numbers. Also, there are a TON of correlations between the numbers and other things in the show. Blacked out is the stuff from TV Tome about the numbers I was talking about.

Several other numbers references from Lost

Note that there are many other iterations of these numbers on the show, but I only listed the ones that could be connected (Walt needing a '4' and a 3 for a dice roll doesn't really count, for example). -Locke was crippled for 4 years -There were 4 guns in the marshall's case -Hurley's grandfather got his pacemaker 4 years ago -Sam Toomie killed himself 4 years ago -Sawyer made his "birthday wish" 4 years ago -Claire's boyfriend left her 4 months into her pregnancy, which was also 4 months ago, and the psychic had been calling Claire for 4 months to convince her to keep the baby -When Locke ties up Boone he says camp is about 4 miles due west, meaning the hatch they found is 4 miles from the plane crash site -Leonard playing Connect Four -Claire is 8 months pregnant at the time of the crash -8 people died in the shoe factory that Hurley owned -Michael was hit by the car 8 years ago -Michael had been writing to Walt for 8 years -DriveShaft was going to tour for 8 weeks -Michael worked in contstruction for 8 years -Shannon was 8 years old when her father married Boone's mother -Hurley's lottery drawing was on Channel 8 -Walt was born in August (8th month) -15 members on Danielle Rousseau's research team -15 was the number on the whiskey bottle that Sawyer and Jack's father shared -Danielle's expedition team shipwrecked 16 years ago -Danielle's distress call has been looping for 16 years -16 weeks since someone won the lottery before Hurley -16 years since Sam Toomie and Leonard heard the numbers -The flight that crashed was supposed to be 16 hours long -Jack's seat number was 23A -The reward for turning Kate in is $23,000 -There are 42 spaces on a Connect Four board (this is the only 'direct' reference to 42 on the show so far, unless it's someone's age and we don't know it yet) 8 & 15 together: -Oceanic Flight 815 -Kate robbed the bank for safety deposit box #815 -The copy machine Charlie sold was model C-815 -The arrival time of the flight was supposed to be 8:15 PM

Ah, that may be it. Someone was just talking into something he had pressed up against his ear, I couldn't tell what it was.

^wow, impressive, i never would have gotten all those connections. did you figure them all out yourself?

585662741[/snapback]

Yeah right! I didn't figure those out... :laugh: That actually came from the TV Tome listing for Lost. Look towards the bottom. There are more discussions about the numbers.

Ah, that may be it. Someone was just talking into something he had pressed up against his ear, I couldn't tell what it was.

Boone was talking into a radio he found in another plane on the island. If you notice in the preview, there is a plane flying aobve them I think but I know for a fact that it was a radio inside another plane.

My question is

who was the guy they heard on the cockpit radio (which by the way said that there were no survivors from flight 813) and what in the hell was that light from the hatch?!!?!?!?!?!?

I WANT MORE LOST!!!!!

things that i thought

is it my imagination or did Locke look into the future and past in his "dream"

anyone else notice very little character side stories?....like it was not as pronounced as in previous ones

Locke was beginning to loose the ability to walk again, but it came back....so maybe something was dislocated that prevented him from walking previouslly....more than some disease.....

also on that note....he could walk before....had a different job....ect...and hair...i don't think i've ever seen the actor with hair!(on top of his head), that was pretty good make up.

Also they will have to keep the plane crash, let alone drugs out of Charlie's hands....did anyone else notice the heroine was in same bags as Charlie's was....

and did anyone else notice the maps?....non for were that region.....maybe this is where the Triangles (Bermuida, Great Lakes, others) collects things.....

discuss.....

thechitowncubs...your not suppose to talk about pirating

    • Edifier S3000MKII hi-fi audiophile grade bookshelf speaker is at its lowest price now by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a bunch of Dolby Atmos soundbar deals with several ones from Sony, as well as from JBL, Samsung, Polk Audio, and more. You can check them out in this dedicated piece. Those are not audiophile category speakers though as they are built with home theater use in mind. If you are searching for the former then Edifier has its S3000MKII at its lowest price at the moment (purchase link under the specs table down below). This is a two-way bookshelf monitor speaker designed to produce accurate sound. While it may not produce the best high-fidelity audio possible out there, it should still be significantly better than what you will get on soundbars of this price range. As such it will do justice to high-res audio played back through it. The only thing that may feel lacking is sub-bass as Edifier claims the unit can go down to 38 Hz, which should be enough for studio monitor purposes, but not for deep room-shaking rumbling bass. Where this does excel though is in its treble reproduction. With its super-tweeter, it claims to go as high as 40 kHz in the frequency spectrum, which should offer a sense of "air"yness. This is an active speaker which means it packs its own amplfication. It has a top-notch Class D amp that may be able to rival many Class AB designs too in terms of sound reproduction quality. The technical specs of the Edifier S3000MKII are given in the table below: Specification Value RMS Output Power 256W RMS (Treble: 8W × 2, Mid-Low: 120W × 2) Tweeter Driver 107mm × 107mm Planar Magnetic Tweeter Mid-Low Driver 6.5-inch (179mm) Long-Throw Aluminum Diaphragm Driver Frequency Response 38Hz – 40kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio ≥ 85dB (A) Bluetooth Version Bluetooth 5.0 Bluetooth Codec Qualcomm® aptX™ HD Wireless Speaker Link Proprietary 5.8GHz wireless connection between speakers Supported Hi-Res Audio Hi-Res Audio Certified, up to 24-bit/192kHz Digital Processing XMOS XU216 Digital Signal Processor Audio Inputs Balanced XLR, Optical, Coaxial, USB Type-B, Line In, Bluetooth Input Sensitivity (USB) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Optical) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Coaxial) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Bluetooth) 450 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Balanced XLR) 1000 ± 50mV Input Sensitivity (Line In) 600 ± 50mV ADC Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DSP Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DIX Capability Up to 24-bit/216kHz DAC Capability Up to 32-bit/384kHz XMOS Processing Power Up to 2,000 MIPS Edifier S3000MKII Audiophile Active (Powered) Wireless Speakers: $799.99 (Sold by Edifier US, Shipped by Amazon US) If you do not have the kind of budget to spend on the S3000MKII, you can also check out the Edifier R1280Ts which is right now on sale at just $114 (its lowest price in a very long time).

    • Ignoring the fact that this "colony" kicked the empire of King George's arse during those early years... You are confusing the First Industrial Revolution (which was clearly pulled out of some butt-hurt Brit historian's arse after the fact) with the Second Industrial Revolution (aka now called the Technological Revolution, undoubtedly by that same butt-hurt Brit), which transitioned the world from the UK/UPS Empire to the USA as the world's only superpower. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Revolution I hope you realize that I am having big fun here.
    • OpenAI announces GPT‑5.6 Sol, its next-generation flagship model beating Claude Mythos 5 by Pradeep Viswanathan Credit: OpenAI OpenAI today announced a limited preview of its new GPT-5.6 model series, which includes the Sol, Terra, and Luna models targeting different price points. GPT-5.6 Sol is the flagship model targeted at demanding reasoning and agentic workloads. GPT-5.6 Terra is positioned as a balanced model for everyday work, featuring performance competitive with GPT-5.5 while being half the cost. GPT-5.6 Luna is the fastest and most affordable model, delivering strong capability at a lower price point. Unlike previous model releases from OpenAI, GPT-5.6 is starting with a limited preview for a small group of trusted partners due to U.S. government restrictions. As expected, OpenAI previewed its plans and the models' capabilities to the U.S. government ahead of launch, and the government asked OpenAI to limit the first wave of access to select partners. OpenAI also mentioned in the official announcement blog post that it does not believe this type of government access process should become the long-term default. OpenAI highlighted that GPT-5.6 Sol comes with a robust safety stack featuring improved protections for higher-risk activity, sensitive cyber requests, and repeated misuse. The company also spent several weeks pressure-testing the system and hardening it against real-world attacks. On the capability side, as expected, GPT-5.6 Sol is OpenAI’s strongest model yet. It delivers better results in agentic performance across coding, biology, and cybersecurity. On the Terminal-Bench 2.1 benchmark, which tests command-line workflows requiring planning, iteration, and tool coordination, GPT-5.6 Sol sets a new record with a score of 91.9%, beating Anthropic's Claude Mythos 5. Additionally, GPT-5.6 introduces a new "max" reasoning effort for even deeper reasoning. The new "ultra" mode uses subagents to accelerate complex work beyond what a single agent can handle. Pricing starts at $5 per million input tokens and $30 per million output tokens for Sol. Terra costs $2.50 for input and $15 for output, while Luna costs $1 for input and $6 for output. GPT-5.6 comes with more predictable prompt caching, including support for explicit cache breakpoints and a 30-minute minimum cache life. Sol will also launch on Cerebras in July at speeds up to 750 tokens per second for select customers. OpenAI plans to make GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna broadly available in ChatGPT, Codex, and the API in the coming weeks.
