Lost - Season Three


Recommended Posts

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

I have this weird image of smoke going into the body via the mouth and the body coming alive...lol...like from a horror movie *note to self* stop watching horror movies :rolleyes:

: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.

    • Good. I hope more people sue them for focusing on this worthless junk.
    • How about fire the guy who approved all the bad decisions? The guy who bought these studios in the first place? Oh wait, Satya is safe with his billions while the workers pay the price.
    • 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.

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.
