:lol:!

I don't think so, as we never heard of the security system until that episode getting to the black rock... if its been scanning people, they would have noticed. :p

Do you think perhaps this cloud could unleash the "sickness" on people that it scans? I really don't think the French chick was nuts when she said they got sick.

that was the first time we *saw* the security system. the security system has been making noises and rushing after people since the begining of season one

Actually the first time we see the security system is in Episode 1. You need to watch it in very slow motion but you can see the black smoke fly in and destroy one of the plane engines (the one that sucks the guy in).

I didn't put a spoiler tag since.. Well it's the first bloody episode lol.

One of the creative guys who works on the show over at The Fuselage has confirmed that it isn't the smoke which hits the engine in the first episode. The engine blows up because someone gets sucked through it. The other engine is clearly struck by a piece of metal.

The security system is seen a number of times before this latest episode though you see the 'smoke' snaking through the woods in many episodes.

Has anyone heard anything about the possible secret crossover event that might appear on LOST & Invasion? I heard this morning on the entertainment report that there may be a possible clue or event related to one of the shows appearing on the other show. Sounds odd. Hmm.. maybe a Dharma logo will show up in Invasion or something..

Are there any producers/directors/writers who work on both shows? Seems unlikely to be honest...

Idea, why doesn't somebody create a Lost Spoiler thread. It cuts out all the black spoiler tags I see in here.

Pros:

Nobody can complaing E.G ''Dude! You should hide that, it's a SPOILER''

No more black spoiler tags.

The freedom to say anything you want without fearing you're giving away too much.

Some people do not know the spoiler tag command. Alot do, a small minority don't

Cons:

The isn't one and 1 extra topic, it's not going to kill anybody.

My suggestion anyway, take it or leave it. :)

And the last episode. Great stuff (Y)

anybody have any theories about that smoke thing?

i dont have a theory as much as i have a suggestion to the lost creators... for the love of god, hire someone that can do some decent CGI... from the polar bear in season 1, all the way to this black smoke... it's just god aweful, not realistic in any way (yeah i know.. it's a black smoke monster, not supposed to be real) but did you see how it retracted away from eko.. omg it was horrible. And dont even get me started on the polar bear.. i thought it was someone with a bear skin rug on their back... anyone else with me?

No.. I don't thinks theres a need for that.. I'd say the spoiler tags really only need to be used during and before an episode..if people haven't made an effort to see the episode by say a day later then they deserve to be "spoiled" as otherwise it just makes discussion impossible.

So there was something like a t-rex in the first episode yeah? And something that killed the pilot.. not the same thing as our smoke monster? The smoke monster definitely makes interesting sounds though..

yeah i thought the same thing when i first saw it... seems almost like a strong field of electricity, that maybe works almost like an artificial brain... a very advanced brain at that to be able to read eko's mind

    • Onkyo Dolby Atmos AV receivers are really solid deals

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Onkyo Dolby Atmos AV receivers are really solid deals by Sayan Sen Recently we covered great deals on several soundbar models from the likes of Sony, JBL, Samsung and others for really good prices (the lowest in several months). Aside from that we also reported on the Edifier S3000MKII, a hi-fi two-way bookshelf monitor that's available for only $800. Today we bring a list of AV receivers from Onkyo that are available at great prices including the Onkyo NR7100, RZ30, and 8470 (purchase links under the specs table down below). The Onkyo TX-NR7100 and Onkyo TX-RZ30 are both 9.2-channel AV receivers designed for immersive home theater setups but they occupy slightly different tiers within Onkyo’s lineup with the RZ30 positioned as the more advanced model. The TX-NR7100 is a THX Certified 9.2-channel receiver offering up to 100 W per channel (8 ohms, 2 channels driven). It supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced formats, with flexible configurations such as 5.1.4 or 7.1.2 speaker layouts. A key highlight is its built-in Dirac Live Room Correction which should help optimize sound based on your room and its acoustics. In comparison, both models share several core capabilities though the RZ30 is geared toward enthusiasts seeking more precise calibration and system flexibility, while the NR7100 is positioned as a slightly more accessible, value-focused option with strong all-round performance. The technical specs of the RZ30 and NR7100 9.2 AVRs are given in the table below: Specification Onkyo TX-RZ30 Onkyo TX-NR7100 Power Output (FTC, 2ch driven) ~100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) 100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) Dynamic / Peak Power 9 × 170 W (6Ω, 1kHz, 1% THD, 1ch driven) 220 W/ch (6Ω, 1kHz, 10% THD, 1ch driven) Frequency Response 5 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) 10 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) THD 0.08% 0.08% Room Correction Dirac Live (full bandwidth) Dirac Live (with AccuReflex support) Immersive Audio Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Speaker Layout Support Up to 7.2.2 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing Up to 7.2.4 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing HDMI Inputs / Outputs 6 inputs / 2 outputs (eARC) 6 inputs / 2 outputs (Main + Sub/Zone 2) HDMI 2.1 Support 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC Video Formats HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 Streaming / Network Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Get them at the links below: Onkyo TX-RZ30 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $797.00 (Sold and shipped by Electronic Expo) Onkyo TX-NR7100 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $699.00 (Sold and shipped by Adorma) Onkyo TX-8470 2 Ch Stereo Receiver: $449.00 (Sold and Shipped by Adorma) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      A different thing with Russia. When you say is it better, depends on things. It is better that we don't have the E.U making rules and laws that have nothing to do with them. Is the trading part better? No, that is really mucked up, but then we knew that was going to happen and we would have make agreements, like we do with other parts of the world. Freedom of movement is certainly better, but could be improved, we still need more control over our borders. do you live in the U.K?

      So what am I quoting from them? I never listened to what Farage or his cronies said. I wanted the U.K to leave the E.u years before the referendum and it had nothing to do with Farage and his cronies. So what country do you live in? Did we work much better together? We were always at logger heads with the E.U because we disagreed with them so much. Maggie was always on at them. I would have thought the E.U was glad to get rid of us as we stopped the integration or made it a two tier. Now without us they can integrate more. I would not have voted out if it was just a trading block and we can still work together on somethings.

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.
