: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.

25 and 29 are the only numbers you see and Locke said he was changing the combination anyway.

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

didn't john lock faces the smoke once? he lived to keep it to himself.

it was on s01s04 epesiode walkabout.

He faced it twice, first time he was ok about it all I guess, the second (episode 23) he crapped his pants. :blink:

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

      By excalpius · Posted

      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 pradeepviswav · Posted

      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.

      I'm not sure if you are trolling because I saw people saying this with the straight face, but there were no United States of America when industrial revolution started, just United Colonies 🤣 p.s. I'm not British, so I'm not offended.

      Glad I uninstalled this incredibly buggy browser. Looking at that changelog, they clearly don't test their updates at all.
