Lost - Season Three


Recommended Posts

Some Finale info from USA Today...

"I'm sorry, because no matter what I do -- you're going to die, Charlie." This proclamation from Desmond earlier this season certainly made it seem as though Dominic Monaghan (Charlie) wouldn't survive "Lost's" third season. And, according to executive producer Damon Lindelof, that is a very real possibility. But the show's resident baddies also better watch their backs. "The finale will culminate in a fairly cool showdown between our survivors and the Others," he says, "and lives will be lost on both sides."

And for those people who like to see cast on set....what about Young Benjamin and Normal Benjamin

Hmmm... you're right of course.

Des has the Scottish accent and stuff, but I could swear someone in the show is Portugese...

Mathias and Henrik, the people from the "Listening Station" at the end of the season 2 are portuguese. Those are the only people on Lost who speak portuguese at the moment.

I guess I'm really different. I like rich character development, so I really like the flashbacks. There's only been one episode that I wish I could forget ever happened, and that of course would be the Nikki/Paulo episode. Other than that, I can't think of one flashback or episode that I really didn't like (oh wait, there was the episode where Sawyer decided to proclaim himself the new sheriff, that episode ticked me off, but other than that I've enjoyed them all).

My only big beef with Lost is the fact that they have created so many different stories that some kind of get pushed to the side or forgotten although (e.g. Sawyer/new sheriff). Or they take forever to answer some of the basic questions. For example, why haven't we returned to the shark or furthermore, why hasn't anyone gotten Danielle to take them to the radio tower yet? After going to the Black Pearl, that would have been my next adventure if the hatch turned out to be nothing (which isn't entirely true, but for the most part it was). I guess some of the things that have happened I would have done differently...

Black Pearl? Someone got Jack Sparrow involved in all of this...

There were quite a few for me. I liked the Nikki/Paulo episode a lot more than I liked the Sheriff one and the season two Charlie centric episode where he was going nuts about Aaron and got punched by Locke; that episode was probably my least favorite because it had a former heroin user who just couldn't come out and say, "I AM NOT USING HEROIN." Instead, he just looked guilty while he was innocent, BAD writing imo.

The Jack tattoo one is a very close second.

Yeah, didn't you know the Black Pearl shows up after the zombie season to rescue the survivors. :p I meant Black Rock.

brazillian!!

i'm portuguese and there's no way that's european portuguese

Yup: "The language spoken at the listening station appears to be Brazilian Portuguese in structure, although the accent and wording were reported by native speakers as very unusual." --Source: Lostpedia

There was always a hint of children with abilities in regards to Walt. When Michael was questioned in season two, one of the questions was, verbatim, "Have you seen Walt in various places on the island?" Syid and Shannon both saw Walt; there were other instances of people alluding to Walt being special in season one, more specifically, his step-dad. So no Heroes crossover :p

Yeah I don't mean we are gonna see Nathan Petrelli fly to the Island to rescue everyone...I meant I feel like alot of programs these days like to use the idea of people with abilities...its just getting over used I feel...

Few things I was thinking about this morning.

What if the others leader was either the controller or actually was the smoke ball?

When Charlie, Kate and Locke went to get the pilot from the plane, the pilot was attacked by either a polar bear or the smoke thing. Ofcourse the pilot is the one person that the others HAD to dispose of quickly.

Also, Ben knew there would be survivors from the crash, most people would expect they'd be dead, but Ben told them to get a list, therefore it is my thinking that he knew the Island protects good people, or people in general, which also ties in with the sperm being stronger and Ethan being stronger (assuming he'd been living there for years, before and after he picked up Juliet.

It's possible that their leader, this Jacob person or whoever is Smokey or whatever is causing the Losties to see people from their past. Seeing as these people have played important roles in their lives if Ben really believes in Jacob then perhaps he is just a vision/manifestation like Jack's father or Yemi.

Which also makes me think. Did Juliet really see her sister in that video or was it another vision thing....

This is the final paragraph in an interview with Lindelof and Kring(Heroes Creator) from the newest issue of Wizard(the comics magazine). This is the only thing having to due with what will happen in the show...everything else was just about writing and the friendship between the two writers.

Wizard: What can you guys tell us about how your shows will wrap up this season?

Lindelof: For us, I will say the construct of Season 3 started with our heroes victimized by this - at the time - unseen, malicious and malevolent force on the

island of these "Other" people. By the end of the season, you will know a lot more about them and what they're doing there and why they've been preying on our guys.

There is going to be an epic confrontation between the two groups - for lack of a better word, a war - and that's where we are heading to in our season finale. Hopefully, people will be more satisfied than they were in previous seasons - there are going to be a lot of answers along the way to the mysteries that people really care about.

I need to point out: just because they were SPEAKING Brazillian doesn't mean they're not PLAYING Portugese.

I speak Arabic - quite fluently too.

"Sayid?" He's Naveed Andrews. A half-Brit half-Desi. Probably never spoke a word of Arabic in his life before joining LOST cast. Yet he's supposed to be the big, bad Iraqi.

That's the one thing I absoloutely hate about LOST. They can't do languages. AT ALL.

24 does a decent job (though Nadia in CTU is Mexican and can't string together two Arabic words if her life depended on it - but damn, she looks Middle Eastern to me!) MOST of the "terrorists" speak something that can be understood as Arabic and is more or less gramatically correct, even if in a very bad accent. Some of the baddies have pretty good Arabic accents too.

Just like Jack's tattoo being in one language and LOST producers pretending its in another, an actor speaking a dialect of a language when the producers meant for him to be speaking another isn't so far off.

It's sad. All the special effects, all the good acting, all the talent WASTED by making just about any international dialog look totally wrong and fake - like a badly translated movie from the 20s.

Thank God they got lucky with Sun and Jin - they speak Korean just fine - or so my friend tells me. But why can't they have the rest speak the right language the right way?

Either pick a character that can speak the language, or with today's technology have the player mouth it while someone that REALLY knows the language does the real talking - I know it's possible.

    • Good. I hope more people sue them for focusing on this worthless junk.
    • How about fire the guy who approved all the bad decisions? The guy who bought these studios in the first place? Oh wait, Satya is safe with his billions while the workers pay the price.
    • This had nothing to do with games. This is all about management wanting to squeeze as much money from Xbox to keep Microsoft's AI ambitions afloat. Someone has to make money to burn on AI.

The Ultra 9 185H features 16 cores and 22 threads running at up to 5.1 GHz. It also includes a dedicated NPU utilizing Intel AI Boost at 11 TOPS. On the graphics front, the 185H includes the still fairly capable ARC Graphics (not to be confused with the newer ARC 140T) integrated GPU with a max GPU frequency of 2350 MHz across 8 Xe-cores. It has been said that the iGPU is equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce 3050 and GTX 1650 in gaming and synthetic benchmarks. Other highlights include an AMOLED display, LPDDR5x memory at 7467 MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and a fingerprint sensor built into the power button. AI PC? Although the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H includes a dedicated NPU, it's only 11 TOPS; therefore, it does not qualify as a Copilot+ PC. However, it can reach up to 33 TOPS with a combination of NPU, CPU, and GPU. As I said, although we only reviewed the X14 Pro, the unboxing is the same for the X16 Pro, which I noted in my review. The packaging is quite a nice experience. The outer box houses the X16 Pro box with a small compartment that contains the 5-in-1 Dock ($40 value), which appears to be an "Early Bird" inclusion. Upon removing the box cover, the X16 Pro is revealed sitting in a cardboard compartment with two small booklets of documentation. To the left of the X16 Pro are two cardboard compartments containing the 65W charger and Type-C USB cable. What’s In The Box 1 x GEEKOM X16 Pro Ultra-thin Laptop 1 x Type-C to Type-C cable 1.8M 1 x 65W GaN PD Fast Charger 1 x Warranty Card 1 x Thank You Card 1 x User Guide All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product.
