Excellent episode. It was the reason why i love lost.

great episode.. and finally the John Locke mystery has been revealed!

Sort of, we still don't know technically why he's walking right now.

The box was a metaphor, I would consider it to be the essence or the "core" of the island's power. I think it would be to easy to think the smoke monster came out of the "box". Locke said he saw something beautiful when he saw the monster, Maybe the island "chose" Locke somehow. And Maybe Ben wants him to learn to control the smoke monster and the islands power somehow.

Somehow I am also not very interested in Locke's flashback. He said he was in the Army/Marine, is that true.... that might be a better flashback!!

The Jack-Others thing are MORE interesting, IMO

"For all you know I could have been a sub commander in the navy"

Then Ben goes onto say, "Oh I know all about you John..."

Do you have these types of problems in understanding communication in general, day-to-day life?

I loved tonights episode. Here's what I think...

I don't think Locke blew up the Submarine. When he was walking back and got caught, he was completely soaked as if he had been swimming. I think he drove the Submarine somewhere else and made it look like he blew it up.

yes...because its that easy.....

1. how would he know how to control a sub?

2. even if he did i'm fairly sure you need more than one person in a sub to operate everything....

3. :blink:

That was a fantastic episode, loved every minute of it.

It occurred to me when Ben mentioned the box, didn't Walt say something about a box in season 1. Telling Locke not to open it or was that the hatch? I swear box has been mentioned before.

Also Alex thinks her mom is dead, to her she thinks that Ben is her biological father but after Sayid spoke to her she must have some doubt now and the others are covering something up about that.

Yeah there was no way they could wrap everything up by the end of season 3, too many loose ends.

If they tried that, there would be just an episode or two saying "ok here is mystery 1, and heres the answer, here is mystery 2 and heres the answer to that..... " etc...

Bring on Season 4 :D

There would be atleast 5 seasons, and possibly even season 6.

The thing that was in the box in my opinion was the smoke monster thing. Thats why it showed locke his dad, also, why ben said it could be anything you want.

Interesting theory. Plausible, since Ben said box gives whatever you want.

Locke has always been my favourite char. He signifies what I like about LOST - mystery. Locke centric episodes are generally superb, like this one was. This one was as good as it gets ( In Chandler Bings words : Could it be more better ).

The ending was truely WTF.

And wtf is happening in the promo?

Sun getting nasty! Is someone slated to die?

He was probably wet because he likely set the explosives on the outside of the submarine.

The submarine wasn't visible in that last fram though, was it? I looked back at the video and I could not see the submarine when they tell Locke to get down on his knees. Maybe I just can't see it. The small white dot next to the door just seems to be a reflection of moonlight, I do not see the sub in its place as it was before.

Oh, and I forgot. I almost die laughing when Ben (with his best Mac and Me face) say to Locke "We have a box here". LMAO. What a cheap trick. This sounds like that Family Guy ep, where Peter has to choose between a "box" and a boat.

Oh, btw, yet another explosion!. This is getting like any Chuck Norris movies. Jungle and explosions!. "Perfect!"

Yes.

Hmm.. since next episode if about

Nikki and Paulo, I guess it would be one of those two.

Expos?>

As the truth about Sun's kidnapping by "the Others" comes to her attention, Hurley becomes suspicious of Sawyer's attempt to reveal the mystery behind two fellow survivors, Nikki and Paulo. Through series of flashbacks we will discover what Nikki and Paulo were doing before the crash and how they survived 65 days on the island.

wow, that was an amazing episode.

I like how it shows the Others as not being so omniscient after all. I reckon Alex will free Sayid and Kate whilst trying to find out about her mother, and that Juliet will turn on the others, thinking that Ben orchestrated the submarine explosion (which he kind of did).

this show is really starting to disappoint me. I feel like

they're pulling farfetchd plot twists out of their ass

, just to extend the series. since ratings are down, what might end up happening is that corporate sponsors and ABC are going to force the writers to end the series in like 1/2 season.

    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      By excalpius · Posted

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
