I don't think they had even cast the character of Penny at the beginning of Season 2 yet, so they just got some filler person to do that shot and then later digitally added the actual Penny into the shot.

As for Desmond reliving everything over up until when the hatch implodes, how is he supposed to know what happens to Charlie when he goes back since that happens after he turns the key. Also he knew what was going to happen to Charlie after he saved him the first time, which going by that theory, he must have lived this at least 3 times. Personally I don't think that's true. He didn't have the ability to see the future before he turned the key, and I doubt he keeps reliving the same thing over and over again, but whatever happened to the hatch gave him the ability to temporarily view the past (up until he got hit with the baseball bat) and now allows him to see the future.

ok you may be right about the casting thing.. i didn't even notice it was a different girl, i guess the shock of the different colored shirt just caught my eye.. HOWEVER, even though your casting thing makes complete sense.. penny was introduced as of the finale, can you or anyone figure out a logical reason as to why both desmond and penny have this same picture, when we clearly seen in last nights episode that the picture was only given to them once.

IMHO that was the worst episode to date. WTF is this, the Matrix? I was excited to see Charley and Hugo, but then too much Desmond.

That old lady really killed the episode for me. It broke the illusion of science, and went too 'Narnia' for me.

I can dig what Desmond went through, but it was too nonsensical for me to enjoy. I don't want magical explanations, but secret corporate plots that try to explain and exploit existence!

I dunno, I wasn't even addressing that question, lol. But maybe they just got a duplicate so they both can have it. I don't think it matters too much.

Did anyone notice these easter eggs on the latest episode?

http://losteastereggs.blogspot.com/

Give me a break... The more hidden and "mysteries" there are, the lesser the ppl will be interested.

Oh, yea, great, they will solve 3 mysteries this week. What was it?. The numbers? (a whole year thieving with that), the black smoke?, the walter "alter" ego?. NAAAH. The jack tattoo!!

No wonder why this series is losing with American Idol :p And every week they will loose even more

Ok I just saw this at LOST's Easter Eggs Webiste Its about the subliminal message that was shown as Karl was strapped to the chair in the previous episode. There is a backwards message in the first half of the film (this is a technique called "backmasking"). It's a woman repeating the phrase "Only fools are enslaved by time and space".

This kind of proves my point that the others have figured it out that they have already lived through these events, and I think they are all trying to change the turn off the events in order to change the final outcome.... I know it might sound quite far fetched but so is the whole show :)

Cheers!

Good point this also backs up my post here.

When Jack asked why Ben couldn't go to a facility and Tom says because the sky turned purple, but why did they kidnap Jack, Kate and Sawyer in the first place? They already captured them when the sky turned purple, did they predict it or something?

I think some of the props are just there to make the show more realistic in their nature, and the "backmasking" sound clip, probably just part of the video that would possibly make one insane, just like the quotes in the frames of the video. though this show is insane in its nature that a lot of mysterious anomalie lies, sometimes i just wonder if people just look too far. nonetheless pretty enjoyable seeing how people pinpoint specific "eastereggs" that i wouldnt have be able to notice myself.

Well it kind of makes sense. It explains Desmond's flashback of his previous life events. It also explains how he has one picture of the same event with his girlfriend on the island, and she had the similar picture but in different clothing. I would say that he relived that event many times, and in one of those times she was wearing black shirt and in the other one white. You see small details seem to change but final outcome stay the same, as the old woman told him....

Is either that, or a casting mistake :) lol

At least they sort of explained why Penny was looking for Desmond, and how she knew what to look for.

I reckon that after he gets lost on the island, Widmore tells Penny that he came to see her. She goes to Donavon, who sees that Desmond got lost on the boat trip, like he (presumably, when he recounted the story in the pub) said would happen. He tells Penny about the electromagnetism thing, who searches for electromagnetic anomalies in an attempt to locate Desmond.

That is if Desmond actually travelled in time. He can tell the future, that's clear. Given that, time travel doesn't seem unlikely.

I actually really liked the episode, but thats partly because I love lost and enjoy the writing, acting and characters. I definetly would much rather a more beleivable story line though, within the context of the show at least. I would much rather the corporate plots and secret experiments as well. Time travel though is definitely a bit much, especially if everyone on the island did it. Its just a bit ridiculous. I really found that chick to be way too much as well, but again, I do like the show and beleivability aside its a good time.

"The makers of the show have also discredited the theory that the survivors will experience, or have experienced, time travel, which was dismissed by Damon Lindelof."

i dont want to get too involved in theories or buy into time travel etc.. too quickly.. but being that in the last episode we see that they only took the pic once and i think that has significance to it, i think the fact that penny has a copy of the picture too means something like time travel, or a parallel universe. I dont think it's just as simple as desmond decided to scan it and make penny a copy, to be honest i think that's a little more far fetched than my explanation..lol

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By snowy owl · Posted

      I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has been trying to improve it, Windows 11 is definitely not flawless, as even today some issues are taking a year to publicly acknowledge. However, one area of trouble that may finally see much better results soon is graphics driver crashes. Work on graphics driver timeouts, also called Timeout and Detection Recovery (TDR), is not new as the latest WDDM 3.2 also has specific improvements regarding it. Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) version 3.2 is supported on Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2. However, with the upcoming version 26H2, TDR crash diagnosis could go to the next level as Microsoft is introducing a new DirectX 12 API feature called "DirectX Dump Files". Similar to how system memory dump files work when a system crashes or freezes or encounters any such major issue, DirectX Dump Files (DDF) will essentially record a snapshot of the GPU execution right at the moment a graphics-related crash or hang or freeze occurs, so that developers can better understand and diagnoze these TDR and timeout detection errors. The dump will be available as a .dxdmp file for analysis and it will be a comprehensive dump file generated with detailed insights about the hardware, drivers, Windows, as well as the affected application. This should be another welcome change in this department. Earlier at GDC 2026, when the technology was first debuted, Microsoft had shared more details regarding it. The company had explained how DDF is designed to gather data from every layer of the graphics stack into a single file, eliminating the need for developers to manually correlate logs from multiple tools. As mentioned above, the dump can contain a lot of useful details like GPU hardware state information such as register values, shader program counters, page fault virtual addresses, shader memory data, and command buffers. Alongside that, it also captures DirectX runtime and kernel information, including D3D objects, pipeline state objects, device error data, adapter details, and CPU call stacks. Microsoft says the feature has been built around two primary use cases: retail device removals and local device removals. The former allows developers to collect crash information from end users' systems in the field, while the latter helps QA teams and developers investigate issues on test machines. Developers will also be able to include up to 2 MB of custom application data through new D3D12 APIs, providing additional context for troubleshooting. In addition, Microsoft is introducing three dump collection modes ranging from zero-overhead capture, which has no runtime performance impact on supported hardware, to higher-detail modes that collect more vendor-specific debugging data. On compatible Tier 2 hardware, zero-overhead dumps will be enabled by default, meaning developers may begin receiving useful crash diagnostics without making any code changes. The table below explains the three tiers: Tier Description NO_OVERHEAD Enables crash capture with no runtime cost and is suitable for broad deployment MEDIUM_OVERHEAD Provides a balance, capturing additional diagnostic data with moderate impact HIGH_OVERHEAD Collects the most detailed GPU and driver state available, enabling deeper investigation at the cost of higher runtime overhead In terms of availability, the company expects broader release to be around the fall of 2026, which should be right around the time when Windows 11 version 26H2 lands. Right now, DirectX Dump Files are available as a preview and currently, only AMD has the compatible AgilitySDK Developer Preview driver version 26.10.07.02. You can find the official announcement post here on Microsoft's website.
