i think im missing something here.

hanso foundation is a real foundations right? since it advertises it self on ABC during the LOST ad break.

and from previous post there seems have some connections between hanso foundation & LOST am i on the right point?

its fairly obvious its fake...

i mean why else would other corporations actually pay for the spots..(ie: brought to you by Sprite, Jeep, Monster.com, etc.....)

I'm pretty sure it's a fictional organization. Those TV ads are just to encourage people to watch commercials.

exactly....

they're trying to entice people (specifically TIVO/DVR users) to watch the commercials....

edit: just thought of something...

we saw Kelvin take off his mask outside....we saw desmond see him...basically they showed us that nothing was wrong considering Kelvin told Desmond to shoot up with that stuff but Kelvin didn't have to because he was never exposed long enough or whatever....

well since Desmond knew nothing was wrong why did he continue to shoot up with that stuff....the first time we saw him this season when he was getting up didn't we see him inject himself with that stuff?

wtf?

fyi, I don't think the magnet crap pulls any craft onto the island, I think it just messes with the instruments which makes the crafts (planes, boats) crash.

Another question is how could the computers survive such large magnetic fields?

Lastly, WHERE WAS THE SMOKE MONSTER!

Yeah, I thought for sure the Smoke monster was going to be in the Episode, but I was wrong :no:

In the preview, when Jack yelled 'RUN', that's what I thought!

Also, i don't believe the hatch door was blown to the beach because of what desmonde did. I think it was from when the dynamite blew.

If Charley was at the BOTTOM of the shaft and that metal door has to weigh at least 20 lbs and it's at the TOP of the hatch, there's NO way Charlie could have survived the dynamite blow as that door had gone up hundreds of feet...not to mention it was not even on top of the hatch, but off to the side (when Mr. Eko climbed out earlier in the episode). Also, there were several minutes between the dynamite and the white flash. It would have had to go up thousands and thousands of feet.

What about this theory...I think the button has something to do with the ability to be "seen" by tracking equipment. So rather than scrambling if released, it clarifies. Henry seemed very "sure" when telling Michael that no one would find the island. They don't seem to want to be found. Henry also referred to them as the "good" guys. Maybe Dharma is some sort of new colony effort for people of like-mind who somehow object to things in the "real" world. When the button is pushed it scrambles any sort of device that would track...leaving the island untrackable. Desmond's girlfriend said something about him being in "prison". This could have been a reference to him taking a long sail alone for whatever reason. She obviously indicates when he's ready to come back, she'll be waiting for him. Maybe Daddy didn't like this, and as head of Dharma, conveniently led him to the island only to be lost forever. I think when the button wasn't pushed it somehow released waves that allow tracking technology to "see" some sort of trace on Desmond's boat. This would be equipment you would have if sailing alone on your boat in case of emergencies. It seems like he was some sort of serious boatsmen. Even the picture of the two of them show them at a Marina. Why I also think this, is the men in the snow said something about missing the signal again...the first signal may have come the day the plane crashed as Desmond had not pushed the button in time that day either. Were the "snow" men Russian? I thought they were speaking some sort of Spanish...Can someone clarify? I think they were at one of the poles North or South....

That's a good point. Not to mention now that other companies see that everyone actually watches for those on ABC, the commercial time price can shoot way up and ABC gets more profit :)

^exactly :). I was thinking that that heading might compensate for the magnetic field, though. Either way, whatever the white flash and hum did might have messed with the magnetic fields and perhaps Michael's direction might not be the right one... we'll know. IN MANY MONTHS. :(

Do you think Penelope's rich father set Desmond up with Libby giving him a boat and them trapping him on the island on purpose to keep him away from Penelope? I believe her father has a lot to do with the people running that project.

Penelope probably suspected her father was instrumental in keeping them apart, she knew about the Dharma project (from her fathers involvement) with researching electromagnetic anomalies around the world, so she paid those two guys to sit around and wait for the detection of the electromagetic anomaly so she could find him again.

Libby being an agent of Penelope's father: setting up Desmond with the boat, and also following Hurley after he won the lottery with the numbers is an interesting possibility.

i agree with you here.... i think her father is one of the directors of the hanso foundation. She also made a big point of saying "i have money, i can find anything" when she tracked Desmond down after he was released from prison. She then said in the letter that she was his one true love, so my guess is she knows what her father is involved with (read: island experiment) and has assigned the 2 scientists at the earth monitoring station to monitor for electromagnetic anomalies because she knows about what her father & hanso are up to on the island.

Given the facts so far, it seems if the numbers are not entered, the magnet kicks off and "brings in" new people to the island. It almost like a bermuda triangle, the magnetic power of the island screws with navigation devices etc keeping them off the radar and causing anything caught up in it to become "lost".... This could also explain Desmonds circular trip in the boat, he followed a compass bearing and went round in a circle... i'm pretty sure that bearing was the one given to Michael and Walt as they left in the boat...... :unsure:

The "another false alarm" reference (made by the guys in the polar research centre) most likely refers to the previous time that the button wasnt pushed in time, i think it was Locke that managed to get the numbers in, the guys in the station will have seen this, but due to the termination of the process they "missed it".

A side note: I noticed that Kelvin was the Army guy who let Sayid go free after they made him torture his general in his flashback.

Desmond found the note after he first opened his book when he was about to shoot himself. His girlfriend knew he was heading to prison even though he lied. One of the things she said to him when she first met him at the stadium was did you read your book, an intention to see if he got the note or not. He didn't read it, so he didn't get it.

Well, I guess we now know why Flight 815 crashed, so that's one major question answered.

But who is behind the whole island? Who are that group of people - "The Others".

"We're the good people.." just don't make sense! Ack, season3, season3, season3..

^^ Or it's very well planned, maybe libby was on that plane to get away and that guy (K-lib from the OC) pulled the plane down on purpose. I have no idea how to spell the guys name, nor do I have any recollection of what his actors name or character's name is in Lost :s

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By ad47uk · Posted

      A different thing with Russia. When you say is it better, depends on things. It is better that we don't have the E.U making rules and laws that have nothing to do with them. Is the trading part better? No, that is really mucked up, but then we knew that was going to happen and we would have make agreements, like we do with other parts of the world. Freedom of movement is certainly better, but could be improved, we still need more control over our borders. do you live in the U.K?

      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.
