Recommended Posts

^Oh...that's true. And remember--Jack's dad disappeared from the casket just as Eko's brother disappeared from the plane.

:laugh: You can't stop watching horror movies. Horror is the best genre. Now go pull Hostel out of the DVD case and watch it.

Some Lost tidbits here

I am quoting some portions

What you might also be feeling is that kind of sense that we're basically working on Episode 60, so that's a lot of hours to not know, "What's the nature of this island? Where is this island?" The overarching mysteries of Lost remain unanswered. But those questions have to remain unanswered until the show ends. That's something we don't know and we're not in control of when it is going to end. We will attempt to answer some of the transitory questions, but obviously, the big ones have to stay unanswered.

We believe audiences aren't really asking, “When are we going to get our answers?” They're asking, "Are we going to get our answers?" And that's a very savvy question for them to be asking, because of the nature of the television business, it's sort of like, "Are they just stringing us along?" And all Carlton and I can say is that we are absolutely committed to giving you those answers. We know what the answers are, and we're telling them in the most creatively satisfying way for us as storytellers.

Q :One other complaint I'm hearing this season is that new mysteries are being presented before old ones are solved. Can you say anything about that?

Carlton: We're always in this sort of balancing act. [We want] to keep the audience engaged by the underlying mysteries of the show, but we also want to try to answer questions and give people some satisfaction. And I think maybe the pendulum has swung a little too much into the “Well, we need more answers” category, and we try to be attentive to that. I think there are some upcoming episodes — after the break in the spring — that will answer a number of the open questions. We certainly plan to tell the audience this year how Locke got in the wheelchair. We'll be getting a lot more detailed about what happened to Locke, Eko and Desmond following the immediate aftermath of the hatch exploding, imploding or potentially doing something else. We're doing a flashback story where you'll find out how Jack got his tattoos.

Q :And what about the outside world?

Damon: Obviously, this is the big sort of dangler from Season 2. We broke perspective off the island for the first time — at least that's what we're leading everybody to believe — and, certainly, that ball is in motion and rolling down the hill at a very fast rate. That is pretty much what begins to dominate Season 3 once we come back from the break. It takes a couple of episodes to get up to speed, but the fact that the island may have been seen is pretty much the entire story arc of the second half of the year.

Q :You guys have been quoted as saying you're going to drop a "bomb" during the second half of the season.

Damon: There are two bombs being dropped, one of which is a character bomb, and that will happen within the first three episodes after the break. And the other is a more significant story bomb, a game-changer, as it were, and that will happen shortly after.

I stopped watching after the first 2 episodes of season 3.

Now I'll just get my answers from the interweb.

Main reason is that episodes are too uninteresting and slow to hold my attention. Which is not to say I dont like slow and buildup shows (huge fan of House, Heroes, 24 etc); but this is just way too much.

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?

Hey everyone, sorry to jump on so late in the game!

About the others being dressed up in worn out crappy clothes etc... Could this be another faction of the Others?

I seem to recall someone posting or a podcast mentioning a number of factions within the Others. Maybe the "dirty" others are one such faction or maybe even outcasts, infected with something??

Anyway, that's my two cents. Hopefully I can contribute a little more now I'm in...

Oh, one more thing! Did we ever learn why Ben was wandering around the jungle when he was caught? Do you think he allowed himself to be caught? Was he on his way to the losties, seeking out Jack??

I think maybe I missed that episode...

He told Locke if I remember that he was coming for him but got caught along the way...but then again he could of been pulling Lockes leg (no pun for lockes paralysis there).

No--I don't think so. They are the same others who work for Ben directly, as seen when Ethan was talking to Mr. Smiley when Claire was in the baby room. The disguises were meant to mislead the losties so the village would never be discovered.

Thanks for the info everyone.

Since we learned Ben has the tumour I was actually thinking that Ben might have been going to the losties to get Jack so he could do the surgery. How do you think the French woman will fit back in now we've seen her daughter(?) with the others yet helping the losties?

Beanz

Charlie crossover confirmed. Henry Ian Cusick and Dominic Monaghan were rehearsing a quick scene. Charlie is playing guitar on a street corner, and Desmond comes up and talks to him. It seems as if he has an epiphany. ?This is happening!? Hmm.

The crossover, of course, is just a bit of whimsy. The main scene is Desmond storming out of Widmore Industries and throwing his tie to the ground. Guess a meeting didn?t go well.

Why put spoiler warnings on the thread then whine about spoilers? Why can't people take responsibilities for their own actions and not look at the thread until a certain time?

Is there some mandatory viewing of the thread that forces people to look?

People... take responsibility for your own actions.

Don't look at the thread until you've seen the episode.

How hard is that???????????

People have a natural desire to discuss a powerful episode while fresh in their minds. This whole spoiler tag usage on a thread marked as a spoiler thread is ridicules.

Now, on to the episode. When is Kate going to tell Jack there is nowhere to run? Even if Jack does complete the surgery, the possibility of infection is huge. I can't see Jack getting away with this.

    • This is about the EU given consumers options, Apple is all about not giving options and locking you into its own services, this hurts Apple far more than it hurts the EU market because it makes Apple products look less appealing by Apple refusing to offer its own service because they have to give options to rivals, the end results are consumers might look at alternatives like Android. It's a game Apple can't really win when there are alternatives and Apple will in time change course on this, until then, let Apple hurt themselves in the EU market.
    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more by Taras Buria Microsoft's new Surface Laptop Ultra generated a lot of buzz earlier this month, but in addition to its most powerful laptop with an NVIDIA chip, Microsoft also has a more affordable laptop lineup, which has been waiting for an update for quite a while. Today, Microsoft announced the eighth-generation Surface Laptop. The new Surface Laptop is powered by the Snapdragon X2 Plus and X2 Elite processors. These chips offer faster CPU performance, up to 58% faster graphics, and 80 TOPS Neural Processing Units (NPUs) for on-device AI processing. Like the previous models, these chips retain their great energy efficiency, and Microsoft says that buyers can expect up to 20 hours of work on a single charge. The laptop is available in two sizes: 13.8-inch and 15-inch. You will have a hard time finding visual differences between the new and previous models, as Microsoft is not taking any major design leaps, except for the new Jade color, which may look familiar to Surface Laptop 5 owners. Other colors include Platinum, Black, and Dune. The 15-inch variant got a higher-resolution display. It is a 3,270 x 2,180 resolution screen with a pixel density of 262 ppi (the 13-inch model has a 201 ppi density) and a maximum brightness of 600 nits SDR and HDR. Unlike the Surface Pro 12th-gen, which is available with optional OLED displays, the Surface Laptop sticks with IPS, a 1,300:1 contrast ratio, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 3:2 aspect ratio. Another notable change in the Surface Laptop 8 is its trackpad. It now provides haptic feedback when you perform various actions in apps and the operating system. It is a relatively new feature that Microsoft brought to Windows 11 in recent updates, and it is only available on certain devices, such as the Logitech MX Master 4, Surface Slim Pen 2, the upcoming Surface Laptop Ultra, and now the Surface Laptop 8. The new Surface Laptop with the new Surface Pro Like its tablet-shaped sibling, the new Surface Laptop is notably more expensive. It starts at a $1,599 for a 13.8-inch configuration with a 256GB SSD and 16GB of RAM. However, in the US, the base model has double the storage while keeping the same price. Available configurations include up to 64GB of memory and up to 2TB SSD (user-removable PCIe Gen4). The Surface Laptop 8 is now available for purchase on the official Microsoft website.
    • Microsoft announces 12th-gen Surface Pro with Snapdragon X2 processors by Taras Buria So far, 2026 has been rich in Surface announcements. Microsoft started with a fresh lineup of Surface for Business devices powered by Intel's new Core Ultra 300 processors. Then the company revealed the Surface Laptop Ultra, its most powerful laptop with NVIDIA's RTX Spark processor. Now, it is time for new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop models with Qualcomm processors. Microsoft's original Copilot+ PCs with Snapdragon X1 chips debuted in late May 2024. Two years later, Microsoft is finally updating the lineup with new models featuring Snapdragon X2 processors. The 12th-gen Surface Pro continues the well-established formula of Microsoft's flagship tablet, and Microsoft is not even changing colors, as the tablet will be available in three colors: Dune, Black, and Platinum. The most important changes are mostly hidden inside. Microsoft switched from the Snapdragon X1 to the new Snapdragon X2, which promises up to 53% faster graphics performance than the previous generation and up to 15.5 hours of battery life. The built-in NPU is also much more powerful, and it can run at up to 80 TOPS for on-device AI processing. Like before, the new Surface Pro is available with a 13-inch IPS display, and Microsoft is still offering OLED as a separate, more expensive configuration. Speaking of configurations, the Surface Pro will be available with a 10-core Snapdragon X2 Plus or a 12-core Snapdragon X2 Elite. Microsoft expanded the available RAM configurations to 64GB (previously 32GB was the maximum), while storage remains unchanged at 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of user-replaceable PCIe Gen4 SSDs. The new Surface Pro and the Surface Laptop Other specs remain mostly unchanged. The computer has the same 1440p Windows Hello webcam, two USB4 ports for charging, data, and display output, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 support, dual speakers, and compatibility with Surface Pro Signature and Flex keyboards. With that said, there is one very important aspect of the Surface Pro that changed significantly, and it is the price. While the previous-gen Surface Pro launched at $999 for the base configuration, in 2026, the entry-level Surface Pro with Snapdragon X2, 16GB of memory, and 256GB will set you back an eye-watering $1,499. To sweeten the pill, Microsoft is running a limited-time promotion where Surface Pro buyers can get a free Surface Pro 13-inch Keyboard. The promo runs from June 16 through June 30. The new Surface Pro is available now on the official Microsoft Store website.
