Micheal meets Mr Friendly in a flashback?

As it turns out, the ?where? and ?what? weren?t the half of it. It?s the ?who? that?s the real surprise. Over the course of the evening, I and another ?LOST? fan who lived in the apartment building across the street spotted a veritable parade of familiar faces. Harold Perrineau seemed to be the center of attention, which is hardly a surprise since we?ve seen him in Manhattan. Indeed, his clean cut look suggests that this is a flashback. But who should he meet in a narrow alley, but one M.C. Gainey. And it?s not a friendly encounter, either, involving a gun, and a fistfight. The sounds of the confrontation echo down Honolulu streets.

And what?s this? A car crash?

For a location shoot that may be among the last filmed in 2007 given the writers? strike, this one looks like a doozy.

I think showing 8 episodes just for the sake of showing it is not a good idea. I'd rather the season last a bit longer meaning that the writers don't have to rush the storylines and mess up their original plans.

Yeah (Y)

"There's been a real difference of opinion" about whether writers should act as producers during the strike, says Carlton Cuse of "LOST." "I'm in the moderate camp. I strongly believe that each showrunner should make a decision based on his own conscience and circumstance." And he certainly made one. Carlton Cuse. I love you.

Divisions have begun to emerge among the elite group of television writers called "the showrunners," who also serve as producers responsible for running their TV shows. Since the writers' strike began, they have generally refused to participate in shooting and editing of episodes.

As production studios began sending breach-of-contract letters to their producers, a number of showrunners have become very anxious about the fate of their series as well as their non-writing staff facing massive lay-offs.

According to Wall Street Journal, Cuse is planning on doing post-production work on 8 episodes that have already been shot as he believes "we would hurt our franchise if we didn't do it ourselves."

My utter disdain for strikes and unions aside, I would be really happy if Mr. Cuse secretly penned the remaining 8 scripts of the season, so the cast and crew could get back to their jobs as soon as possible.

Pearl Station Messages Bottles and Food Drops?

Rumour at the moment.

Apparently, the message drop will be explained in a Ben flashback, amongst other things. We?ll see who are sending the messages and we?ll see who are receiving them. We?ll also learn a bit about the food parcel drops in the same episode. The Ben flashback will explain many of the mysteries that have bothered us since Season 2. More questions will be opened up, however, particularly relating to a certain rumoured ?Other"

Hopefully that is true, i think that "Other" is Jacob, Annie or Libby

Heather in Miami: My sincerest condolences that your Hawaii trip was canceled. Is there no justice in the time of the strike?! Anyway, why don't you make it up to yourself by telling us some Lost scoop.

Thanks, Heather. Anyone wanna help me drown my sorrows with some mai tais? As you may know, the Lost production office is an impenetrable fortress of secrecy these days, but I was able to dig up a little scoop that I certainly found fascinating! Sources tell me the series most definitely flashes backward and forward in this season?and until the series ends...yeee! I'm also hearing we get quite a few new characters courtesy of Marsha Thomason's character, Naomi. Word is, Naomi summoned them via walkie-talkie before Locke busted that knife in her back. So, newbies are a-comin'!

Lost Ads Coming to the Big Screen

This just in: Lost is coming to the big screen!

Oh, how I wish I could tell you our beloved Evie, Matthew and Josh are starring in a movie version of the show we so adore, but this is pretty much the next best thing: Sources tell me ABC has secured a deal to air promos for the upcoming fourth season of Lost (with new footage!) before all movies rated PG and above in Screenvision and NCM chains in December.

Hear that? It's the sound of this die-hard couch potato running out to buy my tickets!

And BTW, this also means ABC thinks the new season of Lost is so good, it warrants such play. I've heard from Alphabet-net insiders that the upcoming eight episodes filmed so far are "crazy good" and will "even satisfy the haters." So, if you're already starting to feel the fourth-season fever, sound off below, will ya?

And if you're headed for the aforementioned theaters, don't you dare think about hitting the bathroom before the show...

:cool:

Whooo, wanna see that trailer this is the low down of it.

Trailer 1

-Jack firing a gun in the dark

-a cow/bull

-Locke claiming that the people arriving aren't here for them but something else

-a nonhuman skull with a knife in it

-blood dripping down and Kate looking up (at something/someone dead?)

-AND...what appeared to be Charlie. And what's even odder is that he had a devilish grin and what looked like short hair.

:D

MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction.

    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account by Usama Jawad As things currently stand, Microsoft Edge only allows you to sign in to the browser with a Microsoft Account (MSA). This allows you to sync your browser settings and other data across other devices, as long as you sign in with the same account. However, Microsoft is now modifying this mechanism in a way that will likely please many users. In an update to its Microsoft 365 Roadmap, Microsoft has indicated that it will soon let users sign into Edge using a Google account from the profile menu and the Edge sign-in screen. This will be in addition to the MSA login option, and it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account. This brings several advantages such as the ability to sync your data across devices using just a Google account. It may even facilitate flexible single sign-on (SSO) experiences where you can quickly login to websites and services through a single Google account that is presented as the preferred sign-in option. Up until now, Microsoft allowed customers to indirectly use a Google account, by configuring a Google account as a Microsoft account, or by setting up a one-way sync option between Edge and Chrome. This is a rather interesting development, especially considering that Google Chrome still limits you to a Google account sign-in, but it will be interesting to see if the company reciprocates Microsoft's gesture in the future. This is not the only recent instance in which Microsoft has extended a handshake to Google via Edge. In April 2026, it began tracking the development of a work search banner for Google Search queries, just like the one present in Edge. However, if we go back almost seven years, to January 2020, Microsoft had emphasized that it had no plans to "integrate Google services into Microsoft Edge by default", in response to people requesting Google sign-in services on Edge. Fast-forward to today, and Microsoft is planning to release this feature in July 2026, with IT admins having the option to control its availability on Windows and macOS through the NonMicrosoftAccountSignInEnabled policy.
    • If they ever come out and say the AI is no longer accessible to the gen pop people aren't going to know how to tie their own shoelaces.
    • It's hard not to when they are shoehorning Ai into EVERYTHING. Some are active users by choice, I bet a lot of them are because it's shoved in their face the entire time.
