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


Recommended Posts

Locke is the king :cool:

John Locke is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, my favorite character on the show (Y) I can only hope I am as courageous and brave at his age as he is. Man oh man was this ep great.

A question for Lost devotees (and I ask without intentionally trying to spoil): Do you guys think that the creator/writer of Lost had this specific story-line from the get-go (the beginning)? Reason I ask is Jack was originally supposed to die in the pilot episode :o

Oh GREAT WAY TO START THE SEASON

My take, on the hatch It is some kind of test facility that does tests on people but they have to be kids, thats why they took the french ladies baby, the black kid (forgot his name)....also those people Hurley ran into who were spooked by the numbers were people who had been tested on...ok a bit out there but it was the first thing that came to my mind soon as I saw the inside where that dude was... and that doctor Jack met before is of course a doctor there :p

They had a general idea for what the island is, but not really the characters. They basically knew the setting and then created some characters to throw in there. Jack easily could have died, which is the same with everyone else. It doesn't change what the island is, so anyone is expendible.

I'm just creeped out by a few things:

-All that computer equipment is old as crap. So, why does Desmond have a brand spanking new washer and drier?

-What does that computer do anyways?

-WTF was he injecting into himself? I'll have to check the HR-HDTV rip for that.

-What in the hell was that Walt scene all about?

Well, the hatch was opened, but there are now way too many questions to answer. It's a good thing they didn't end inside the hatch last season, that would have led to a revolt for sure... :D

^Yeah. JJ Abrams said that he knew what was on the island when he was writing it. And it is not dinsaurs :D

Amazing episode. After I saw Desmond, I thought to myself, that can't be "the guy". Turns out, he was. Wow.

So many more questions need to be answered now. Come on next weeek! :)

edit: the numbers on the vile were CR 4-81516-23 42

WTF!

Edited by Sniper34123

Yeah, I slowed down the Tivo and I saw the numbers on the vial as well.

But guess what, it's even better than that... when Desmond first types into the keyboard, slow it down and watch what he types. He uses the top row and you can CLEARLY see he is typing the numbers! If you don't believe me, check it out in slow motion. Hell, you can plainly see it in regular speed too!

A few other things I noticed:

1) Desmond some how has access to a food supply, running water, electricity, etc.

2) It looks like he works for some company or the place was built by some company. The logo on the panel where he pulls the injection from is the same logo on the suit that he slips on when he feels the explosion.

3) At the end, when Jack realizes he knows Desmond, Desmond has NO look of surprise whatsoever on his face... as if he was expecting Jack!

4) What in the world was that wall in the tunnel that was all blocked up and full of concrete buckets?! Something in there had an enourmously powerful magnetic field because it attracted Jack's key on his neck. Maybe this could have thrown off the plane's navigational equipment causing it to crash??

5) The whole little mirror telescope thing was awesome!

I'll post more things on here as I remember more but hopefully this will get you thinking.

BTW, the whole Shannon seeing Walt was FREAKY!

Don't forget the number 108 painted on the wall, which is sum of "the numbers" added together.

And a picture of an eye in front of the words M SICK. "EYE M SICK".

The words quarantined appeared under the lid of the hatch. Meaning, the outside was quarantined?

Damn! I was trying to figure out what in the hell 108 meant! Wow...

And I had the same thoughts about the quaranteen signage! What we were thinking was that the island has some sort of disease (which is why Danielle killed her crew... they were 'infected'). This would work hand in hand with why Desmond injected maybe some sort of vaccine into his arm.

Excellent Theory!!!

AMAZING episode... UGH, man I hate this show. Keeps me so wrapped around it, thinking of different theories, etc...

The people who wrote this are great at building and secret keeping, that's for damn sure.

    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.

    • Microsoft Weekly: 5 years of Windows 11, more support for Windows 10, and expensive Xbox by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year of support, Windows 11 getting new taskbar settings in preview updates, Steam Machine prices, higher XBOX prices, and many more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. On June 24, 2026, Windows 11 turned five. The controversial operating system was released half a decade ago, and during these years, it received a fair share of criticism (such as poor Windows Search and its web results), which Microsoft is now actively addressing with regular preview updates that deliver missing, long-requested features. With Windows 12 nowhere to be seen on the horizon, it will be interesting to see if Windows 11 can stay on the market for as long as Windows 10 did. Speaking of Windows 10 and staying on the market, this week, Microsoft quietly prolonged the Extended Security Updates program for Windows 10, allowing users to get one more year of security updates if they do not want or cannot upgrade to Windows 11. Finally, Microsoft released this month's non-security update for Windows 11. KB5095093 arrived with a traditionally long list of new features, including point-in-time restore, new Windows Update settings, quieter Windows Widgets, new accessibility features, File Explorer updates and performance improvements, and more. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Build 29617.1000 and build 28120.2374 These builds bring new accessibility features, new Windows Update controls, audio improvements, and more. Dev Channel Build 26300.8758 This build includes redesigned taskbar settings, File Explorer improvements, and more. Beta Channel Build 26220.8754 and build 28020.2366 This small update fixes the OneDrive bug in File Explorer, tweaks system sounds in dark mode, and more. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. If you use AI-powered browsing history search in Microsoft Edge, the company has bad news. A new update on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap revealed that Microsoft is discontinuing the feature. Despite using on-device models for natural search, some users found it creepy, claiming that Microsoft lacks trust in features like this. While the ability to find pages without using 100% precise words may sound cool, customers argued that it was nothing but another feature to bloat the browser with more AI. Good riddance? PowerToys received several updates this week. For one, Microsoft released version 0.100.1 with several improvements and bug fixes for the recently arrived version 0.100. A couple of days later, Microsoft dropped another update, this time fixing memory leaks in Command Palette Dock. In addition, the company is working on a new module that will make it easier to switch between windows within one application using the Alt + ` shortcut. The new module should make it to the stable release somewhere soon. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: New Ventoy update adds Windows 11's mandatory update support and more Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with chat cost tracking and multi-agent chats Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" Microsoft adds new AI study and teaching tools for free to Microsoft 365 Education Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams Microsoft's fast coding model, MAI-Code-1-Flash, comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.2 with FSR 4.1 support for RDNA 3 graphics card. However, the driver contained a bug, which prevented installations on Windows 10 PCs. AMD fixed that with a quick hotfix update. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week This week, Steven Parker published several reviews. He shared his experience with the Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe, a high-quality sound card with a headphone amp, low-latency communications, great build quality, and DSD256. However, it is on the pricier side of the spectrum, and it lacks EMI shielding. Check out the full review here. The second review is about the TerraMaster F4-425 Pro, an octa-core Intel NAS with a stand-out feature: built-in AI (OpenClaw). We also published a few Hands On reviews, which you can view below: We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on Hands-on with BOOX Tappy: cute little reading accessory Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25 affordable ergonomic mouse On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. If you plan to purchase a new Xbox, it's time to act now. This week, Microsoft announced yet another Xbox price increase. Starting August 1, 2026, all Xbox Series X|S models with 512 GB of storage will cost $100 more. As for the 1TB models, they are going up in price by a whopping $150. Finally, Microsoft is discontinuing the 2TB Xbox Series X. To make up for that, Microsoft announced a few programs to make its consoles more accessible. Those include BNPL, interest-free financing, pre-owned consoles, certified refurbished consoles, and more. Valve also shared some not-so-welcome news. The company has finally announced prices of the upcoming Steam Machine console, and if you plan to buy one, get ready to spend a whopping $1,049 on the 512GB configuration. The Steam Machine is now available for preorder, with shipments scheduled for June 29, 2026. Grand Theft Auto VI also received its official price tag. Rockstar Games announced that the long-anticipated game will launch at $79.99 for the base edition and $99.99 for the ultimate edition. The latter includes an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Those who preorder the game will get extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. NVIDIA announced new games for its GeForce NOW streaming service. Those include Dark Scrolls, SAND: Raiders of Sophie, Deer & Boy, EMPULSE, and more. Steam is running its annual Summer Sale, during which you can purchase plenty of various games with big discounts. It runs until July 9, so in case you missed it, you can still get some games at a lower price. Also, you can get two games for free in the Epic Games Store, plus more deals are available in this week's Weekend PC Game Deals issue. This link will take you to other issues of the Microsoft Weekly series.
