Lost - Season Three


Recommended Posts

There wasn't much new info or excitement, but I really enjoyed this episode. It takes me back to when I loved all the characters. I think I at least smiled if not laughed throughout the majority of this one.

I'm glad others have grasped the purpose of the episode. For the last few weeks, and indeed most of this season, we've been bombarded by nothing but misery, misfortune and dread. The castaways, and the audience as well, needed a respite, a moment to feel good again. When Hurley turned that key and the van started, I was just as happy as Sawyer and Jin. Just like Hurley's dad said, everyone needs a little hope now and again.

Exactly. I believe that was the main theme of this show, having hope. Without hope, they might as well go do something to get themselves killed. With hope, they can do more and have something to look forward to now, being rescued or finding out the complete truth of the island and staying. Either way, it removes the despair, dread, etc. that everyone was having.

My only complaint is that they had a little more going on with Russo and Locke, Kate and Sayid, but I don't really think they could've done anything worthwhile to be squeezed in this episode, so I'll take it as is :)

Although I found last weeks episode the worst for a long time I wouldn't say I would ditch the show because of it...yeah we all jump on here and say "its crap" or "I am losing faith" yeah it wasn't good but as someone said they are here to take you on a ride and show you the whole story the bigger picture so I wont ever stop watching it, I will just be unhappy if we had 2 or 3 episodes like Jacks episode in a row where they dont answer as much promised but then again that wasn't the writers fault it was the promo makers fault.

I just finish this ep. They are walking in circles for a chance. Like always.

"You want the numbers again, there you go!". I think they (the producers) believe the viewers will have all the faith they expect to have. Aka, the ppl will watch this show forever.

At least this ep we dont see the Jack stupid smile all the time.

The character-centric episode was pretty good. Somebody complained that there aren't enough likeable characters in Lost anymore. This one about Hurley really brought that back.

It sets the scene for a good episode next week, but I can't help feeling that, if after a week, this is the best they can come up with, they are going to continue to lose viewers. They should increase the frequency of episodes, IMO.

Also, on the promo, doesn't the voice say "for mainland communication, enter 3, 8"? Maybe they send a message to the Hanso Foundation that DHARMA has changed one of the numbers.

Yeah I saw that on the promo and I wonder what the significance of the chess game is...it looks alot like the one the 2 people in the Arctic Station were playing at the end of Season 2

If des saw charlie dying... I mean

if desmond LIVED charlie dying, how is des able to prevent or forsee every posible charlie-dying situation? I mean, the logical thing is that when desmond lived this future we suppose he's lived, charlie died, and end of story. Unless desmond saved him in that previously lived future too, but that wouldn't mean desmond is saving charlie, that would mean desmond is doing whatever he did before.

I mean, if desmond lived it all before, he can't have possible lived every possible variation of that future.

Within the last month I've watched all the season DVDs (through netflix) and caught up on Season 3. I think the series will have to wrap up in season 3. I don't know if I will be able to stand a season 4 as I'm not sure the story line has anywhere left to go besides

explaining the stupid smoke stuff that comes out of the island and kills people

.

I've enjoyed the series though!

I've pretty much become addicted to Lost as much as I am to Prison Break and Heroes (and only started watching it 2 days ago - went through all 3 seasons).

But I totally hate the way they've suddenly introduced the 2 new "characters" (that blonde chick and unshaved guy) who came out of nowhere and are suddenly part of the group and are aware of everything that is going on. It simply doesn't feel right (and they're horrible actors to boot).

they're not part of the group yet and i doubt they're aware of everything

sawyer 'asked who the hell are you?' to the chick and their only involvement so far was going with locke, sahid and ecko to the other hatch

Episode 14 we find out how they got there supposedly along with new footage of the plane crash...

I hate those two as well, I hope they write them out of the show. I read somewhere that there was a scene that introduces them, but it got cut out to fit the show into an hour.

Theres alot of scenes that are cut out because I was watching an interview with Cuse and Lindelof and they said when Kate had tea with Ben in the first episodes of Season 3 there was a scene where Kate tried to escape her handcuffs but that was cut and put as extra on the dvd when its out...

    • Same Internet Archive seemed to grab the new version https://web.archive.org/web/20...d/Setup_MakeMKV_v1.18.4.exe Here's the link to an additional file it periodically downloads https://web.archive.org/web/20260213092148/https://www.makemkv.com/sdf.bin I think update's keys, etc. To manually trigger this update, put the sdf.bin file in the root of where the program is installed. When you launch the program it will pick up the file and import it. Typically put it here: C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\sdf.bin
    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
