"Lost" TV Show - Currently Season 2 (US aired)


Recommended Posts

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...

it looks like he just didn't expect them to actually dig up the grave of his "wife"

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

Edited by sundayx

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.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
