^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?

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 topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By The Werewolf · Posted

      The flaw with this analysis is that this laptop has a cellphone CPU in it. In the Intel world, that would be an N150 and those are everywhere, even in low end laptops. You can get an N150 based NUC with 16GB RAM and 256GB-512GB SSD... NOT soldered in... for < $500 Canadian (around US$360). The problem is two fold: tech bloggers/writers on most tech site (like this one, ironically) overvalue Apple and apparently aren't in the same earnings class as most regular people. As a result, we get breathless articles about how everyone needs a folding phone when most people just cannot afford one... or really need one. And we get Apple used as the baseline metric regardless of whether that comparison makes any sense. If Dell or HP released a retail laptop with a cellphone motherboard, you'd be all over them for doing that - but Apple does it and it's genius. I see articles suggesting what Samsung - a company that basically started the foldable phone market and has built them for eight years - needs to do to compete with Apple's unreleased, unspecced and unseen folding phone. Sorry, no - if the Neo (really creative name there BTW - still, better than the Go, the other "creative" product name everyone's using) encourages PC makers to make cellphone laptops using lower end ARM processors, we all lose. It's a step backwards and a capitulation to the fact that semiconductor makers and computer OEMs (and tech bloggers) have totally lost the plot.

      Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.
