Something i noticed from lastnights episode

I think locke is a bad guy, in season 1, i remember locke speaking with walt about "in every game there is a good and bad side".. i believe walt is the good side and locke is the bad side, he's hiding something that is relavent to everything going on. Also, in this episode, if you'll notice he's writing on something with green chalk, when clair comes up to him, he puts the chalk in his backpack and that's it. BUT, when they show eko walking through the woods later in the episode, you see a tree clearly marked with green chalk, is locke making a path to somewhere? possibly to the others?

I'm still waiting for the episode that explains why Hurley hasn't lost any weight in the 50 days they've been on the island :D

As for last night's episode, it may not have had the others, or the smoke, or shooting, but it was still a worthy episode.

We had Eko marking trees that 'he likes'. Why? Is he going to start clearing jungle? Jack and Ana have been in and out of the jungle. What are they doing in there that has to do with Jack's 'army'? Why did Locke store the drugs instead of destroying them? Also, what was he doing with the door to that closet? Did he change the lock so that only he could get in? That could prove troublesome for next week when Jack wants those guns. What was up with the camera fixing at Locke at the very end of the episode?

Not every episode is going to be a wham, bam, run from the others, shoot people type episode.

green chalk? what green chalk? i don't remember anything about it... or seeing anything? can you point me out there?

on another note, it was interesting in some way, but expected more :D

Ok peole said the writers said that there was a clue in the skyline of something. anyone catch it?

battersea power station was the iconic building....there was some text but without hdtv and very clear screen you couldnt make it out :no:

I put a warning in the thread's title to forewarn anyone coming in here that we would be discussing plots that have aired in the US. So if that is all we are talking about I see no need to put those in spoiler tags. Sorry for those non-US fans, but it airs here first so... nyah, nyah... ;)

Now if you want to post something that has not yet aired, then please spoiler tag it.

On topic, I don't think Charlie set those fires at all - doesn't he still have the tape around his fingers? That was the first thing I noticed, the fire starter did not have the tape.

We can still "acquire" it though :shiftyninja: :D

I think Charlie went a bit overboard this episode and setting the fire was a bit too far. Nonetheless Mr Eko is a legend! :laugh:

^But he admitted to doing it.

This episode just made me feel sorry for Charlie. Locke's becoming more of an arrogant jack*** than anything else.

Did he? I must ahve missed that - oh well, toss that into the great big pile of theories that don't work. :)

Shhh... Neowin doesn't even want you to joke about that type of stuff anymore, so let's not even insinuate, ok?

I'm fairly sure the only time we see the tape on Charlie's fingers is during his first dream at the beginning of the episode.

That, and he confessed to setting the fire so he could distract everyone and grab Aaron in the confusion.

But, as someone mentioned, I don't think Charlie burned the trees Mr. Eko was marking. Charlie burned an area of mostly brush, while Eko seemed to be marking trees in the transition area from beach to jungle.

This is why I need DVR :crazy:

You can still see the ring Charlie is wearing on his right hand when he is lighting the fire and even when he is talking to Locke before he isn't wearing the so-called tape around his fingers.

About Locke becoming arrogant. I think you're right. From the clips on next weeks episode we can see that he's going power hungry, hiding the weapons, and not wanting to tell Jack were are they.

One thing (of many :)) I don't get is, why Locke instead of destroying the Virgin Mary statues, locked them away????

more and more, it seems as if Locke is being set up as the antagonist, at least within the group of survivors. I can picture it coming down to 'Jack and those who want to fight' vs. 'Locke and those who want to reason'. The preview for next week already shows them about to throw down over the guns.

Charlie did not have tape on his hands when he was holding the baby. If you see the rings are the same for the person making the fire as charlie while holding the baby at the end of the show. I do not think they are the same trees as Eko marked. Eko's were closer to the water and beach with nothing between.

this episode made me feel sorry for charlie a bit and made me get annoyed at claire. just the way she shouts "my baby! my baby!" annoys the heck out of me. oh yeah and my liking for locke is also starting to go down. i liked it better when he went hunting and chucked knives at trees and stuff.

i agree with adrian. eko = legend. there need to be more ecko episodes.

i think locke kept the drug for medicinal use, like if somebody gets hurt, jack can ease the pain with it

Even in moderate controlled doses, heroin would probaby cause an addiction.

The last thing the island needs is another heroin addict or someone suffering withdrawal.

Few people take heroin and live to tell it.

morphine is basically the same as heroin is it not?

it might be useful for pain relief just like in hospital :yes:

After watching the episode, my only thought is that Locke was acting wiered. I can't really put my foot on it, but it's as if Locke acted completely different. He seemed more rash than usually. That's not to say that Charlie didn't deserve getting punched and all, but it seemed like Locke was out of character.

    • 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. You can also support Neowin by registering for a free member account or subscribing for extra member benefits, along with an ad-free tier option.
    • Text extractor hasn't been working great on 0.99.1 but I am now updating to this version, hopefully it's better!
    • Yet you did exactly what they wanted you to do - is it better now without "Europrats"? BTW, UK had joined EU (EEC back then) and was one of the leading member states, it never joined Schengen Zone though 😉
