not in the arrow station its where they sit sawyer and co thats the doors down...all thats left is the shell...thats how im reading into it...thing is arrow isnt one of the 6 so its gotta be pre-dharma station planning :wacko:

hell that would make perfect sense considering the chance that station had the "incident", then it was closed down and they started over and succeeded(i guess)and made the 6 stations we know now.

this is becoming a joke now. they can't just show 1 episode and then a break and then another episode and then another break. they're trying to make the series last longer but this has got to be turning people off of the show - not me, but less patient people. i'm glad we don't have this many (if any) crazy breaks here.

I know, it's especially frustrating for my wife and I, since we watched one episode to begin with, got hooked, then borrowed the season one box set and downloaded the season two episodes up until we were caught up with the current episode. Watched 30 or so episodes in the matter of a week-and-a-halfs time. Now that we're caught up...seems like there is a new episode every few weeks at best.

I've read that the writers intended to have this story end; it would have a finite run and end after 3-4 years. After the success of 'Lost' so far, CBS stated they want the story open-ended, so it could continue indefinately. That absolutely sucks for a story intended to have an end, especially one packed with as many details as 'Lost'. I have a feeling we'll be seeing more fluff stories and episodes spread out like this.

Sorry, but CBS has absolutely no control over ABC's shows. :)

Even if Lost stays on the air for longer than the intended 4-5 seasons, when the final season arrives the writes should give us a finite ending. Don't worry...

Surface fans, now... they have something to worry about. :-/

Most shows do this. It isn't just Lost, the only reason we're paying more attention to it with Lost is because Lost is more popular, so the breaks get more attention.

Every episode of Lost is edited in that 'to be continued...' style, rather than a stand-alone episode. So you really notice the gaps between new episodes because you want to know what happens next and aren't satisfied with the episode alone.

However, Lost does seem to take more breaks than the average TV show. The show uses a lot of special effects (not all of them are obivous) that need to be applied in HDTV quality, which takes a bit of post-production time.

Yeah that does make sense, its because its not like Family guy for example where there is 1 episode and thats it but Lost is continuous

maybe there are plenty of surprises

you don't know the storyline or whats to come

do you know Prison Break? well writers have that planned for 3-4 seasons..if they can do that why can't Lost which has a broader set of directions and content?

      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.
