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.

    • Microsoft further improving Windows 11 Taskbar with latest builds

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft further improving Windows 11 Taskbar with latest builds by Sayan Sen Microsoft has released new Windows 11 builds for users flighting the Experimental channels. The new builds are 26300.8758 for Windows 11 26H2, 28120.2374 for 26H1, and 29617.1000 for future platforms. There are improvements related to the Taskbar, File Explorer and more with the new update. The full changelogs are given below: First we have the build 26300.8758: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Taskbar] Taskbar customization just got easier. As we continue to make improvements to the Taskbar experience mentioned last month, we've introduced a dedicated Taskbar Size setting, making it simpler to find, understand, and personalize your ideal taskbar experience. UI showing the new Taskbar Size setting in Settings. We've also made refinements to the transitions between taskbar sizes for a smoother overall experience. [File Explorer] We've improved the reliability of thumbnail previews for cloud files in the Details pane. The pane has also been reorganized so file properties are easier to find and review at a glance. Fixed an issue where the OneDrive shortcut in File Explorer stops working when File Explorer is run in administrative mode. Fixed an issue where the confirmation dialog might display an internal Recycle Bin file name instead of the original file name when permanently deleting a file. [Sounds] Improved system sounds when using Windows in dark mode. Up next we have build 28120.2374: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out This update includes a small set of general improvements and fixes [Mobile Device Settings] You can add and manage your mobile devices in Settings under Bluetooth & Devices > Mobile Devices. On this page, you can manage features such as using your device as a connected camera or accessing your device's files in File Explorer. [Remote Recovery Management] Added a recovery remote management plug-in to extend WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers. [Input] The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of the Tenor API. Finally we have the changelog for Windows 11 build 29617.1000: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announce blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [Windows Magnifier] Magnifier now gives you more control over how you zoom. You can type an exact zoom percentage directly in the magnifier toolbar to land on precisely the level you need. We've also added preset step increments (5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 150%, 200%, and 400%) to the Settings dropdown, so you can jump to common levels in a single click. Whether you need a subtle boost or a dramatic close-up, Magnifier adapts to how you want to zoom. Enter an exact percentage or jump to preset steps —5% up to 400%. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Magnifier. [Accessibility] We're introducing screen tint, a new accessibility setting that applies a color overlay across your entire display, softening its intensity so it's easier on your eyes throughout the day. If bright, saturated screens leave you with tired or sensitive eyes by the end of a long session, screen tint can help. Screenshot showing UI for screen tint in Accessibility, with color presets and a strength slider. To get started, open Settings > Accessibility (or press WIN + U) and look for screen tint under the Vision section. From there, you can: Pick from six preset colors or choose a custom color of your own. Adjust the tint strength slider from a subtle wash to full intensity. Night light warms your display to reduce blue light that can interfere with sleep. Screen tint reduces overall screen intensity to ease eye fatigue and light sensitivity during the day. They tackle different problems and you can use both at the same time, one working on warmth and the other on intensity. Note that turning on screen tint will disable color filters, and vice versa. If you currently rely on color filters, you might need to keep screen tint turned off. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Narrator. [Voice Access] Voice Access now supports Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), and Korean (South Korea). [Audio] Continuing our work on improving Sound Settings, we've made a few more updates in this build: We've adjusted the description text for the Allow option in properties for audio devices to include the current state of the device, to improve the clarity of the text and the purpose of the button actions. "Listen to this device" is now available in properties for audio devices, so you don't need to enter Control Panel for this functionality. [Multiple Desktops] Improved explorer reliability when switching between multiple desktops. [Storage] We've updated the dialog when creating a Dev Drive to now support specifying the size in GB instead of only MB. This has also been added when changing the size of volumes under Settings > System > Storage. [Personalization] This update improves color selection accuracy when adjusting your accent color to match your wallpaper when automatic accent color selection is enabled in Personalization settings. This update improves wallpaper persistence reliability across restarts and upgrades, including better support for large-resolution wallpapers and other scenarios to prevent solid color wallpaper fallback. [Display and Graphics] Improves the reliability and persistence of applying color profiles. You can view the official blog posts here (link1, link2, link3) on Microsoft's site.
