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


Recommended Posts

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....

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

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'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.

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

    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • 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 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.
