"Hey Doc! Call me 'Super-Sock'. We had a small party and under threats of death if any details are leaked, we were allowed to watch a "Work Print" of "Tale of Two Cities". First the overall impression. I know alot of people are saying that they will drag out the reveal of who the others are and what they are doing, I was stunned by how much was revealed. It wasn't 100% but you will know, roughly, what they do and how long they have been at the 'island'. I quote that because, honestly, I'm not so sure it is an island. There was a lot of unfinished effects work in the print we watched but it was clear they wanted to give it the look of an artificial land mass. But on a scale that no human could ever build. The episode is mind game after mind game. First you think their free, then their captive, then their free again. The "others" idea of testing is seeing how they will react in different situations. In the end of it, Fenry makes Jack an offer which will just blow your mind, but it looks like another test. It ends with Hurley finding Desmond naked in the Jungle. There are some very cool things shown, there is a connection between Sarah and Locke, there are definite signs in the flashback that there were forces at work pushing Jack, at least, towards his encounter with a predetermined destiny. Jack is definitely left in a very strange headspace. There was no music and the effects were only partially done but it seemed like there was a LOT of CGI. Oh, and at one point you definitely hear the monster in the others habitat. There is no doubt he is "one of them". '

Don't Read if you are looking forward to it tho it could be BS.

Just came back from the world premiere - wow. About a little more than half of the spoiler above is wrong. Just a few major, crazy spoilers ahead - do not read if you can wait until Wednesday:

The opening scene was pretty nuts. You get to see the plane coming down again - just outside a book club meeting in a seemingly suburban house after a slight shake. Everyone comes out of their houses, including Ben (Henry Gale), and sees the plane breaking in half and coming down in flames. He then orders Ethan and Goodwin to go to the respective parts and do their thing. We also meet a new person - Juliette.

The whole rest of the episode is about the current situation of the three captives - no sign of any other person from the islands whatsoever. The flashback is about Jack and seeing how crazy he gets about his soon-to-be ex-wife.

Jack is held in a cell in a part of a complex that's underwater. Juliette keeps an eye on him, and they go through their little talks/confrontations. In a quick bid to escape, Jack rushes the door when Juliette comes to bring him food and he holds her captive. He tells her to open a certain door, but she refuses, saying that they'll all die. Ben (again, Henry) confirms this, but Jack wants out. He pushes Juliette away and attempts to open the door. Juliette tries to escape, but Ben closes the door behind him. Jack and Juliette then get flooded with water from behind the door. They manage to close the door and release the water, and Juliette knocks Jack out, making him captive again.

Sawyer is in a cage across from another captive. He's press a big red button with a knife and fork on it, and both times a "warning" is spoken over the loud speaker in his cage. When he attempts, a third time, the young guy in the cage across from him warns against it - Sawyer presses it anyway, and gets shot across the room with a huge shock. The kid later breaks out of his cage, after unsuccessfully trying to get Sawyer to tell him how far away the camp was. He then breaks Sawyer out, and they split up to try and get away. Sawyer gets taken down with a taser and is put back in the cage. Tom then brings the kid, bloodied and bruised, to Sawyer's cage and forces the kid to apologize to Sawyer for involving him in his breakout attempt. He's then taken away to God knows where. Later, Sawyer figures out the contraption in the cage that would provide him with food by using a rock to hit a contraption. A fish biscuit and some sort of kibble falls from a chute, and water shoots out from a dirty pipe on the ground. Soon after he is joined by a familiar face...

After waking up, Kate is told by Tom to take a shower - after that, she is left a "wear this" note near the locker where she stored her clothes - she puts on the dress in the locker and is escorted to have breakfast with Henry. At the table, after being told to handcuff herself, she questions why Henry has made here wear a dress, has made a nice breakfast for her, etc. He says that he wanted to make her feel like a lady, give her something nice to hold on to, because the next two weeks are going to be very unpleasant. She later takes the place of the kid that was across from Sawyer's cell. Tom makes a comment about Sawyer finally figuring out the food system, and Sawyer confirms. Tom then says, "It only took the bears two hours." Sawyer: "How many of them were there?" Sawyer then throws the fish biscuit to Kate, and reveals a comforting smile because she's alright.

It ends with Jack finding out that Juliette somehow knows his whole life, and cries tears of Joy after finding out that Sarah was happy. He then starts to listen Juliette, leaning up against the wall as per her instructions in order to get food. I didn't see the connection between Sarah and Locke, but there was a point in the flashback that Jack interrupts his dad's AA meeting because he thinks the dad's seeing Sarah - I think the mediator may have been Locke's girlfriend, but I'm not sure - I'd have to see it again.

That's it! It was pretty crazy - crowded beach, and I was right near the speaker so it was super loud, but it was a good premier :D

I'm trying really hard not to look at the spoiler. I read the first sentence and was thankfully able to stop myself. I just have to hold off for a few more days...

BTW, is the premier 2 hours or just 1?

Pretty sure it will be 1 hour, shame.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      So how did you solve the problem? Disabling Secure Boot isn’t a solution.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Another devilish issue surrounding these certificates is what can happen with old, unsuspecting PCs that nevertheless have Secure Boot enabled. In my case, it was a Dell with a 3rd-gen Core chip (so about 13 years old). As of the last few weeks, it was suddenly BSOD'g within about 5 minutes of booting. Turns out it was because of MS's "Secure-Boot-Update" scheduled task, which is scheduled to run 5 minutes after login. It's explained in gory detail here (this is not my post, but it was where I found the answer), but the short version is that this legacy system would need fairly elaborate, manual certificate intervention since MS's automatic cert update method cannot work. How to do that is linked late in the thread. https://www.bleepingcomputer.c...od-caused-by-scheduled-task Secure Boot wasn't at all important for this particular PC, so I disabled it to be done with the problem.

It provides a user-friendly interface for removing unwanted apps, legacy components, and optional features safely, giving you more control over your system. With Winhance, you can improve performance, reduce clutter, and enhance privacy without the need for a clean install. Beyond basic debloating, Winhance offers extensive optimization tools.

Sponsors & Supporters page — the exit donation dialog is gone. In its place, an in-app page (heart icon or the More menu) recognizes the businesses and individual supporters who keep Winhance free. It works offline and is fully localized. Change History — Winhance now keeps a receipt of everything it does. ChangeHistory.txt records every setting change (before and after values) and every app install or removal, with clear headers for config imports and bulk actions. Open it from the More menu.

New External Apps: EA app, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, Rockstar Games Launcher, PowerShell, and Helium Browser. Bug Fixes Layouts no longer clip when the Windows text size slider is set above 100%. Accessibility: Narrator now announces setting names on toggles and dropdowns, previously unlabeled buttons are labeled, and progress updates are announced. Silent updates now respect your custom install location instead of reverting to the default. Cancel in Review Mode no longer clears your app selections. OneNote is now detected correctly for Win32 Click-to-Run installs. Clean Start Menu applies more reliably by also writing the group policy path. WinGet errors are no longer silent — error details now show in the terminal output. Fixed a startup crash on older Windows builds caused by a .NET runtime regression. Config import now converts power setting values correctly and no longer re-applies an already-active power plan. Improvements App icons load noticeably faster and cover almost everything now, including legacy capabilities and optional features — they come from a dedicated, checksum-validated icon repository and are fetched in parallel. Software & Apps polish: per-icon tooltips, extra table columns, an app sort dropdown, relocated search, and a cleaner compact view. A warning now appears when the Connected Devices Platform Service is set to Manual or Disabled, since some Windows features depend on it.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Of course the problem was Secure Boot's new certificates. Install media created by the official Media Creation Tool is already signed with a valid certificate from Microsoft, so maybe that certificate isn't "up-to-date" enough for machines with the new ones installed in the UEFI. There's really no other logical explanation.
