anyone notice mention of Oceanic Flight 815 being shot down by (garble) subterranean (something) in second episode of Chuck? Good chance it is unrelated, since Oceanic is used (according to wiki) as a fictional airline by many tv shows, and the snapper is different networks IIRC (I think Chuck is NBC)....but still caught my ear

Yeah I saw that I did think it was cool :D

There is a big difference:

24 begins and ends in each season, without leaving any questions.

Lost leaves so many, that the gap between seasons is like between episodes ...

Nope. In 24, season two ended with an assassination attempt on Palmer and season five ended with Jack being kidnapped by the Chinese. The part of Lost's success is the mystery of the show. That's how it started from the pilot. It's much more frustrating to have an airing schedule like ABC did for season two of Lost; any sensible person would consider non-stop runs better than gaps. Besides, having it aired sooner would not tell you more than you would know when the season ends in May, you get some answers sooner. Woopy, I'd pick weekly showings over sooner answers.

That's what this thread is all about.

I wasn?t telling I like gaps.

I was only comparing Lost with 24 and why is more desperating to wait for the next season of Lost; because it leaves so many questions that it doesn't seem to have 6 different seasons, but only one with 5 big gaps in between...

Exactly.

All the other seasons began by late September or beginning of October, with almost the same number of episodes (24,23,22).

So, gaps or not in the middle, I think they could easily make 16 in the same time (1 year).

By the time we watch episode 4, season 4 shooting will be complete.

Thanks, Peewee. Hope then start shooting season 5, so we don't have to wait so much again...

Mattachew: I'm failing to explain myself so I'll keep it simple:

- I DON'T like gaps. I prefer all the season in one block, just like you.

- I was only comparing waiting for Lost and for 24.

- To avoid further questions, I am a big fan of 24 too ... (and Monk, Dr.House ...)

^ Each season will start in either January or February most likely. That's the way 24 does it and I believe that's the way ABC wants to continue to do it. I'd rather it start in Feb and we get 16 consecutive episodes than get some here and there with 6 weeks off in between.

The actors need time off to, so they can't just jump from doing season four to doing season five. They all have families and stuff that might not live on the island. Not just the actors, but the writers, directors, they all need a break. I'm happy with the way things are going, of course the one down fall to how they're doing this is that if the viewers don't like the direction they're going in, there's nothing they can do to make up for it because they'll be done filming already.

Yeah I like the fact that it starts in the Feb because as Hurmoth mentioned its a straight run then and theres no repeats or catch up shows plus theres only 16 now so they can do that with ease as other stuff are finishing.

Heroic Hurley moment coming

In the latest Lost Magazine there was a very small snippet/spoiler from Damon Lindelof regarding Hurley.

I love Hurley. He is the greatest. More heroic Hurley moments like in the finale please! Ok, that was more of a statement than a question. Do you agree?

Hell yes, I agree. And thusly, I hereby promise you one heroic Hurley moment in the season four premiere!

Sounds good!

Fisher Stevens to play Minkowski

The mysterious Minkowski, whose voice was heard on the other side of the satellite phone found by the "Lost" gang, now has a face as Fisher Stevens has been tapped to play the role on the ABC/ABC Studios series.

Stevens will recur as Minkow?ski on "Lost." The character, which was referenced several times toward the end of last season, was only heard talking to Jack (Matthew Fox) on the phone and told the survivors in the third-season finale in May that they will be rescued.

In the "Lost" fan blogosphere, the name of the character has been tied to German mathematician Hermann Minkowski, whose Minkowski space -- a four-dimensional system including the three dimensions of space plus the dimension of time -- was used in Einstein's theory of special relativity.

Stevens, who recently co-directed the critically praised documentary, "Crazy Love," is repped by Fortitude and the Collective

No doubt about where the things are going ...

    • It's interesting to hear that AI growth is not investor driven.
    • A few weeks ago, I had this same exact issue. Unfortunately, I didn't think of disabling the Secure Boot option in BIOS. I updated my BIOS to the latest version for my MB and it resolved the issue.
    • I have a partial answer, when I used a multi-port usb hub I had degraded speed performance with 3 large external hard drives connected. I managed to snag a nice (yet older) USB3 based wavelink docking station cheap / used that has x6 usb 3 ports and almost doubled the speed of the external hard drives transfer rate. This looks to be a slightly upgraded model -https://ebay.io/m/LZtjTy
    • Microsoft faces shareholder lawsuit over masking AI costs and slowing Azure growth by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft is facing a class action lawsuit from shareholders who allege that the company intentionally overhyped its artificial intelligence initiatives to distract from slowing cloud revenue and an exploding infrastructure bill. The complaint was filed in a Seattle federal court by the Michigan-based City of St. Clair Shores Police and Fire Retirement System. The plaintiffs argue that Microsoft’s leadership painted an overly optimistic picture of its Copilot rollout and complex OpenAI partnership. They say that the company did this while downplaying the harsh reality that building the data centers required to power these next-generation tools requires a huge amount of capital. Back at the company's Q2 2026 earnings report from late January, Microsoft revealed that its flagship Azure cloud growth had slipped to 39% (down from 40% the prior quarter) and guided investors to expect a further deceleration to 37% or 38% for the first three months of 2026. Now, under normal circumstances, a slight percentage point drop in cloud growth is a minor operational hiccup. But the Redmond giant paired that guidance with $37.5 billion in quarterly capital expenditures. This figure, which is a 66% year-over-year surge, blew past any analyst estimates at that time. Much of this amount went into buying high-priced GPUs and custom silicon that were required to train and run large language models. This is why the market reacted violently and just a day after its earnings call on January 29, the company's stock plummeted 10%, and wiped out $357 billion of capital in just a trading session. Microsoft is doing better now, though. Its Q3 2026 results showed its run rate from its AI business was hitting $37 billion, proving that enterprise demand for its infrastructure is very real and continuing to scale. Microsoft isn't the only company pouring billions into infrastructure for the AI boom. We've seen most Big Tech companies, including Amazon and Google, also get the results of these investments with stronger-than-ever growth and increased income. via Reuters
