got this from another forum...actually makes sense as to why there was a lock down....

I still think the hatch is a psychological research facility of some sort. The research would clearly be about isolation and manipulation, i.e. what it takes to get people to push the button all the time. My hunch is that the original procedures for the hatch were that they would lock the "crew" into the hatch while they're doing a food drop, so that they could replenish supplies while ensuring that the crew avoids contact with the outside world. Works better with a crew of 2 than 40-something.

I'm actually thinking the lockdown was an error in the system now. When Locke's on the bicycle, it says "20 minutes to lockdown." and then when he fiddles with it, it says "10 minutes to lockdown". And then a little bit later it counts down from 10 seconds.

Anyone notice the playing cards had a Swan on them?

I'm not sure it's been talked about yet but it looks as if the girl at the house Locke is inspecting is Nadia, Sayid's long lost girl?

She's like, "If I had a husband I am sure he would be happy to hear that"

Yep, that is most definitely Nadia.

HOLY CRAP!!! I can't even believe that I missed that. Good eye!

OK, I'm thinking that the lockdown happened because of the food drop. For some reason, I think the hatch goes into lockdown whenever there is a food drop. I think the speaker was an automatic warning that the hatch was about to be locked down. Unfortunately, something was wrong with the wiring maybe, and Locke couldn't understand the message.

Oh, and "Henry Gale" didn't fool me for a minute.

The countdown happened way too fast. It went from 20 minutes to "10 minutes to lockdown" and after the flashback it said something completed (almost sounded like "phase complete") and then did a countdown from 10 seconds and locked the doors.

I got an GREAT HYPOTHESIS! Thought up all by myself!

PERHAPS...the food drop was done because the timer went all the way down. I think that if it goes down, Dharma assumes that whoever was pushing the button in the hatch either died or got out. They drop the food so that whoever is the new person in the hatch (either one of the Others or whoever is assigned to go down there) will have plenty to eat. I think that because the timer cycled through, they assumed that no one was in there anymore (atleast not alive). As for the lockdown...I cannot really explain it...perhaps the 'mysterious' island was doing it knowing what would happen to Locke so it could re-handicap him.

Well, I don't know how they would get the food there so fast after the timer cycled. I mean they're thousands of miles from any place. This had to be a planned drop.

well, we really don't know for sure where they are...but the food got there somehow...

BTW...wasn't the food also on a parachute?...I am not so convinced that it was plane dropped, because someone should have heard/saw it if it had been. Perhaps it was sent via remote control from another side of the island by the Dharma guys. Who knows what all else is on the island. I mean, these guys could have a small airport and fleet of boats for all we know.

Well, we know they were off course a lot from where they should have been (pilot said a thousand or so).

Yeah, it was on a parachute. Via remote control? How? You'd still have to have something pretty sizeable to make a drop of that much food and supplies. We know they have one boat, we can't be sure of a fleet and an airport though.

why would the henry gail imposter draw a map to the parachute site if he knew that good guys would most likely dig up the body to inspect? that wasn't very smart.

my only guess is that he (they) didn't expect anyone to actually dig it up...maybe he hoped they would just see the grave and assume...i was shocked that they (the others) were smart enough to make up this whole story yet they didn't expect someone to check the grave? :blink:

I wonder why "Henry" left the drivers license on the REAL Henry Gale. It was almost like "Henry" tested the group to see if they could find it...

its not like the license was just sitting around...it was buried with the guy....even if it wouldn't have been if they had found the body they would have known it was a man....and if it had somehow decomposed too far when they came back they would have told Jack and he would have wanted to see it most likely...and being a doctor by looking at the pelvic bone he would have known it was a man not a woman...

i just think they didn't actually think anyone would dig up the grave...if they did they would of at least put a woman one would assume...

anyone can compare screenshots of nadia in previous episodes in afghanistan and the girl with teh house in lockdown?

and the promos, hurley, the extra man (perhaps he is dave, not the man in the hatch), the fate of the man in the hatch, the raid to the food drop, so many possibilies

and the three week gap between SOS episode and two for the road

Umm, how did you guys miss this? The guy in the hatch is not Dave...

Yeah, I think Dave is probably someone inside the institution Hurley was in. Hmm, what was Leonard's friends name? It wasn't Dave, was it?

Hmm, the lockbox number was 1516 and Henry's address was 815...seems the numbers are turning up everywhere :shifty:

Odd question.

I thought Locke couldn't feel pain in his legs?

Yet when the door fell on him, he clearly was in a ton of pain, especially afterwards when he was trying to walk.

    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      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

      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.
