Hmm I don't think Eko would ever say "You're next", but it's always possible the 'smoke monster' was inside him.. You never know with Lost! I also thought about the islands healing powers (Rose).. why is it that Ben is not healed? Or is he being healed and this is all yet another test?

Dan

Remember when Roseau caught Ben she said "For a long time he will lie"...well I think he maybe lying about his illness :o

That's an excellent observation. Why isn't Ben being healed if it healed Rose and Locke, why not Ben?

probabley because ben isnt on the lost island..... the others have thier own island.

If the other island heals, and this one doesn't, would the others know about it. And if they know about it, why isn't Ben on the other island? Something still doesn't add up--I cannot imagine that these people don't know that the other island doesn't heal, they've been there for a long time.

Some notes from Podcast...

Points of interest so far.

- They have not forgotten about Cindy and the other people taken

- Hinted that the smoke monster downloaded Eko's memory in his first encounter

- Hinted that Yemi was in fact a manifestation of the Smoke Monster

Does that include the kids? Were'nt they all taken from the other side of the island? Or is my memory a bit hazy?

They were taken from the Tallies section of the Island...yeah that part of the story was forgotten...weird :pinch:

No--the Others' island IS the losties' island. The secondary island is where they are to do the tests et cetera. Watch the opening scene from this season and you'll see that their village is clearly on the same island.

In the latest official LOST PODCAST, Carlton and Damon gave up mucho-info on both what we saw in 'The Cost of Living', and what to expect in the aftermath of 'I Do'.

- Carlton and Damon say that they had hoped people would assume Nikki and Paulo would die on ?The Cost of Living?. (Nice Try Guys!)

- Adewale was only on board for a year from the beginning.

- Eko?s last words were ?you?re next? to Locke, not "we're next" as Locke said.

- ?I Do? is the best LOST episode ever.

- The fates of Cindy and the children will be addressed, we will see them again in episode eight.

- They hinted heavily that the monster does indeed take human form.

- They indicated that after Episode Six the action will shift away from the second island and back to the beach. They also stressed that they will be changing the game fundamentally.

- The survivors will eventually return to the Black Rock.

The "Your next" and "We're Next" thing might be cleared up now...lol

The only logical explanation is that Ben has no tumor. The island healed both Locke and Rose, and Ben has been on the island his entire life. Unless his cancer has developed to the point where the island can no longer contain it, I'd say that this is a test for Jack, to see if he will 'behave'.

I dont think the island has healing properties. we dont know that roses cancer is really gone, and we certainly dont know anything about lockes legs. (it could be a purely psychological handicap, the way it comes and goes seems to strengthen the idea)

Remember in the first season, Locke got injured in his leg and Boone pointed it out. Locke didn't even feel the wood or whatever it was that went into his leg, so I have a feeling that he's lost feeling in his legs at some point in life, which probably happened at the same time he lost mobility of his legs.

And Rose, she was only suppose to live like 6 months after Bernard proposed to her. I'm guessing it has been more than 6 months since he proposed since they're married. I believe that the island does have healing properties based on these facts, but I could be wrong.

It has only gone once hasn't it? When Locke was trying to get to plane in the first season, that's the only time I remember Locke not being able to walk. Well, that and when the blast door came down on him, but that's a given. No one would be able to walk after a blast door like that came down on you.

mmm weren't they in australia to see this guy that cured people? They never got back to LA because the plane crashed. So unless they stayed for LONG in AU, no 6 months have passed. they crashed in september and it is like november now for them.

Rose will die and Locke's disability was never a physical one.

how come in the first season when we used to see the others they

were all dressed up in worn out clothes and they were all dirty and

stuff. but now theyre all kinda sophisticated and neat and stuff like that?

They were doing that to fool the people from the plane crash.

I dont think the island has healing properties. we dont know that roses cancer is really gone, and we certainly dont know anything about lockes legs. (it could be a purely psychological handicap, the way it comes and goes seems to strengthen the idea)

When that metal door shut down on Locke's leg in the hatch... Didn't it seem like that wound healed pretty quickly? It was only like 2 or 3 episodes that he couldn't walk.

What was with Locke not being able to talk after the hatch blew up? What was that all about?

I think Ben really does have cancer, and I think only Rose and Locke were cured.

It makes sense. The Island is *picky*

It doesn't kill everyone - therefore it also doesn't heal everyone. Rose and Locke are pure of heart (well, Locke *was* at any rate). Remember how she knew her husband wasn't dead?

There is something more powerful at work here than we know. The Monster kills - something else heals.

Do the monster always go after people who have killed other people?

I mean... eko killed people. Kate did, and she saw the monster turned into a horse. I can't remember if jack did, but maybe he can be blamed for some death(s), since he's a doctor...

And Locke, we dont know, 'cause we didnt get to see if he killed that cop or not... but we can only assume!

Didnt Jack see his dad on the beach even tho he was dead...maybe that could Smokey telling him something :s

I believe it was trying to kill Jack. Remember that his father led him to a cliff that Jack almost fell off of. It would make sense that if the monster is trying to kill people it would find the easiest way and Jack following his father's image over a cliff is pretty easy way to kill him.

      This had nothing to do with games. This is all about management wanting to squeeze as much money from Xbox to keep Microsoft's AI ambitions afloat. Someone has to make money to burn on AI.
    • GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount

      By Steven P. · Posted

      GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a 17% discount on its top-of-the-range X16 Pro laptop. You may remember that we reviewed the X14 Pro back in February, which marked GEEKOM's debut into the ultrathin laptop segment. You can view the full specs below. GEEKOM X16 Pro Model NX14CM Dimensions 322.58 × 213.36 × 5.8 mm (12.7"L x 8.4"W x 0.23"T) Weight 997 g / 2.2 lbs Material Unibody Magnesium Alloy CPU Intel Ultra 5 125H (14C/18T, 24MB L3, 2.3-5.1 GHz, TDP 20W) Intel Ultra 9 185H (16C/22T, 24MB L3, 2.3-4.5 GHz, TDP 35W) Graphics Intel Arc graphics 8 Xe-cores @ 2350MHz 1024 shading units/stream processors (128 CUs), 8 Raytracing Cores, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU Intel AI Boost, 11 TOPS / Up to 33 TOPS (CPU+NPU+GPU) Memory 32GB Dual-channel LPDDR5x 7467 MT/s Micron SODIMM Storage 1 x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4x4, Wodposit 1TB, 2 TB Display 16.0" IPS LCD, 2560 × 1600 (16:10) 100% sRGB, 120Hz Refresh Rate Camera 2MP 1080P 1 × Light sensor in camera module 1 × LED indicator in the camera module Windows Hello Support: No Mic 2 x Digital Mics integrated in the camera module Speakers 2 x 3813 (4Ω×2W) built in body Audio Codec: ALC269QN-VC3-GR Certificate: DTS: X Ultra Operating System Windows 11 Pro 25H2 Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.4 Wireless LAN MediaTek MT7922 M.2 Wi-Fi 6E LAN card Left I/O ports 1 x HDMI 2.0 2 x USB4 (40 Gbps) Right I/O ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5 Gbps) 1 x 3.5 mm Audio jack 1 x Camera Privacy Shutter Keyboard 78Key 1.2±0.2mm / Height 3.5±0.2mm (with backlight) White LED light in Caps Lock and Fn key Language: Default US Touch Pad Dimension: 120 x 71mm Material: Mylar Position: Middle Interface: I2C, Dualpoint button Dock Input port: 1 x Type-C 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x RJ45 1 x PD 1 x HDMI (Bio) Security Fingerprint sensor (in the power button) SD Card slot No Kensington Lock No Battery 77Wh (Input 20V, 3.25A) Power 65W PD GaN Fast Charge, USB-C to USB-C Warranty 2 years (Early Bird 1+1 Years) Deal price $1119.67 The X16 Pro is powered by the Intel Ultra 9 185H, which was released in Q4 2023 and is a 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPU designed for laptop/mobile using the Intel 4 architecture based on a 7nm process. The Ultra 9 185H features 16 cores and 22 threads running at up to 5.1 GHz. It also includes a dedicated NPU utilizing Intel AI Boost at 11 TOPS. On the graphics front, the 185H includes the still fairly capable ARC Graphics (not to be confused with the newer ARC 140T) integrated GPU with a max GPU frequency of 2350 MHz across 8 Xe-cores. It has been said that the iGPU is equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce 3050 and GTX 1650 in gaming and synthetic benchmarks. Other highlights include an AMOLED display, LPDDR5x memory at 7467 MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and a fingerprint sensor built into the power button. AI PC? Although the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H includes a dedicated NPU, it's only 11 TOPS; therefore, it does not qualify as a Copilot+ PC. However, it can reach up to 33 TOPS with a combination of NPU, CPU, and GPU. As I said, although we only reviewed the X14 Pro, the unboxing is the same for the X16 Pro, which I noted in my review. The packaging is quite a nice experience. The outer box houses the X16 Pro box with a small compartment that contains the 5-in-1 Dock ($40 value), which appears to be an "Early Bird" inclusion. Upon removing the box cover, the X16 Pro is revealed sitting in a cardboard compartment with two small booklets of documentation. To the left of the X16 Pro are two cardboard compartments containing the 65W charger and Type-C USB cable. What’s In The Box 1 x GEEKOM X16 Pro Ultra-thin Laptop 1 x Type-C to Type-C cable 1.8M 1 x 65W GaN PD Fast Charger 1 x Warranty Card 1 x Thank You Card 1 x User Guide All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product.
