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 Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.

      I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.

[Settings] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Settings > Apps > Startup. [Virtualization] - Also available in Beta This update addresses an issue that could result in bugchecks citing HYPERVISOR_ERROR (0x20001) and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x1E) errors after installing the latest flights on some devices during system restarts, virtual machine operations, or while running some gaming applications. You can find the official changelog for the Experimental build here and for the Beta build here.
    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
