I think i know who the 4th out of the oceanic 6 is.

1) Jack (confirmed)

2) Kate (confirmed)

3) Hurley (confirmed)

4) Sawyer (not confirmed)

I just sort of used clues of words they actually say, and tried putting 2 and 2 together.

So does anyone know if we're going to get an official Lost podcast? Or are Carlton and Damon not doing it until the strike is over?

Yeah thats a very good point. There is nothing on the ABC site.

Looking at the pics - Interesting how they got a picture of Ben, must there "primary objective", so is this why Ben really didn't want them here? Are they after him? Is that why he didn't have the surgery done off the island?

Also, nice sig Rappy :D

I was talking with a guy at work who also watches Lost and we were thinking about the possible six that get off the island. We only know three at this point so we started speculating the other three. Obviously one of those will be the guy who was in the casket in the Season Three finale. Most people I've heard or read online say they believe it is Michael, which makes sense. Both Kate & Jack would have something against him, no one on the mainland would go to his funeral (especially if Walt was left on the island). But I have a different thought: Ben.

Ben hasn't really been part of the US, so he wouldn't have any "ties" to other people. He probably doesn't have much or any money as it wouldn't be needed on the island, which explains being buried in a poor neighborhood where no one came the funeral. Plus Jack stated he was neither a friend nor a family member. But it would also explain Jack's reaction. It would inflame his passion for wanting to go back to the island so bad that, because he knew he never would be able to, he had to kill himself to get over the obsession. It would also explain Kate's reaction as well. Jack: "I thought you'd go to the funeral." Kate: "Why would I?"

The reason I'm leaning more towards Ben is because if it had been Michael, wouldn't the authorities be asking a lot of questions about where Walt is? I can't imagine that Michael would lie about his son, what happened to him considering all that he's gone through to try and keep him alive.

Of course it could be Locke as well, considering the relationship strain between Jack, Kate and Locke. But I highly doubt Locke would have left on his own. He would most definitely been forced off the island, which I don't see happening.

I'm sticking with Ben personally, at least at this point in time.

It's really hard to figure it out with confidence because to my recollection, there haven't been an major clues other than the brief glimpse at the newspaper clipping, which said he had a son. As far as we know, Michael is the only one who has a son. I figure it's either Locke or Ben, given Jack and Kate's lack of compassion for the person. It obviously affected Jack, despite him stating the person was neither friend or family. That, to me, is the biggest give away (which isn't much) on who it is, and I'd say Ben as well because he was right, but a part of me feels that it could be someone else too.

Have the writers designed Lost to mini-end on episode 8? Or will the storyline just halt?

Thye have filmed the end of 8 that will satisfy yet make us want it more but it will come to some sort of conclusion.

In other words it just halts more or less.

Yep. At tis point they can't do anything other than what the script says. Pencils down means pencils down, which translates into no changes in a script. JJ Abrams was talking about a scene with Quinto for the Star Trek movie where a line would sound better saying "this," but he couldn't make the change because of the strike. It has to end with what's already in place.

I think if they were able to announce a deal tomorrow or sometime this week the writers could easily get out four screenplays and they could be filmed (mostly at the same time; meaning two film crews each working with the actors that's needed for that particular scene). They could easily get four more episodes out which would conclude the season very nicely.

ABC might even allow this show to run into the summers months considering how popular it is. Who knows? At this point, anyone's guess is as good as mine.

Good point about Dumb it down, but DON'T dumb it down, it can be done - X-files anyone?

It will confuse idiots or some not following the show some, but I thought X-files movie was really good!

Not only was the X-Files movie absolutely terrible, but it was dumbed down a great deal. There is no way you can make an argument that it wasn't. In a two hour movie, there is no way you can have the plot development, the character development, the mysteries, etc that you have in a 20ish hour season. Its just not possible.

Probably the best you could hope for would be a back story as the plot for the movie. To give more info about the 4-toed statue or the black rock.

I would imagine we will learn more about that soon I remember Damon and Carlton saying that they would answer those questions in Season 4 but this was before the strike.

Sorry, my second line should have ended "...black rock, for example" There are plenty of topics that they could use from the lost universe. Maybe a dharma movie or how smoky will pwn us all.

You know I would love to have a hour long episode set back in the day when Dharma were first on the Island not like Bens ep but like explaining what each station was and what it was like back then.

I think i know who the 4th out of the oceanic 6 is.

2) Kate (confirmed)

3) Hurley (confirmed)

4) Sawyer (not confirmed)

I think Sawyer is one of them because when Kate and Jack met at the airport she said "he will want to know where i am" i think the he is Sawyer they might be together

and Walt and Micheal i think are the other two if they ever "really" got of the island.

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more by Taras Buria Microsoft's new Surface Laptop Ultra generated a lot of buzz earlier this month, but in addition to its most powerful laptop with an NVIDIA chip, Microsoft also has a more affordable laptop lineup, which has been waiting for an update for quite a while. Today, Microsoft announced the eighth-generation Surface Laptop. The new Surface Laptop is powered by the Snapdragon X2 Plus and X2 Elite processors. These chips offer faster CPU performance, up to 58% faster graphics, and 80 TOPS Neural Processing Units (NPUs) for on-device AI processing. Like the previous models, these chips retain their great energy efficiency, and Microsoft says that buyers can expect up to 20 hours of work on a single charge. The laptop is available in two sizes: 13.8-inch and 15-inch. You will have a hard time finding visual differences between the new and previous models, as Microsoft is not taking any major design leaps, except for the new Jade color, which may look familiar to Surface Laptop 5 owners. Other colors include Platinum, Black, and Dune. The 15-inch variant got a higher-resolution display. It is a 3,270 x 2,180 resolution screen with a pixel density of 262 ppi (the 13-inch model has a 201 ppi density) and a maximum brightness of 600 nits SDR and HDR. Unlike the Surface Pro 12th-gen, which is available with optional OLED displays, the Surface Laptop sticks with IPS, a 1,300:1 contrast ratio, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 3:2 aspect ratio. Another notable change in the Surface Laptop 8 is its trackpad. It now provides haptic feedback when you perform various actions in apps and the operating system. It is a relatively new feature that Microsoft brought to Windows 11 in recent updates, and it is only available on certain devices, such as the Logitech MX Master 4, Surface Slim Pen 2, the upcoming Surface Laptop Ultra, and now the Surface Laptop 8. The new Surface Laptop with the new Surface Pro Like its tablet-shaped sibling, the new Surface Laptop is notably more expensive. It starts at a $1,599 for a 13.8-inch configuration with a 256GB SSD and 16GB of RAM. However, in the US, the base model has double the storage while keeping the same price. Available configurations include up to 64GB of memory and up to 2TB SSD (user-removable PCIe Gen4). The Surface Laptop 8 is now available for purchase on the official Microsoft website.
    • Microsoft announces 12th-gen Surface Pro with Snapdragon X2 processors by Taras Buria So far, 2026 has been rich in Surface announcements. Microsoft started with a fresh lineup of Surface for Business devices powered by Intel's new Core Ultra 300 processors. Then the company revealed the Surface Laptop Ultra, its most powerful laptop with NVIDIA's RTX Spark processor. Now, it is time for new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop models with Qualcomm processors. Microsoft's original Copilot+ PCs with Snapdragon X1 chips debuted in late May 2024. Two years later, Microsoft is finally updating the lineup with new models featuring Snapdragon X2 processors. The 12th-gen Surface Pro continues the well-established formula of Microsoft's flagship tablet, and Microsoft is not even changing colors, as the tablet will be available in three colors: Dune, Black, and Platinum. The most important changes are mostly hidden inside. Microsoft switched from the Snapdragon X1 to the new Snapdragon X2, which promises up to 53% faster graphics performance than the previous generation and up to 15.5 hours of battery life. The built-in NPU is also much more powerful, and it can run at up to 80 TOPS for on-device AI processing. Like before, the new Surface Pro is available with a 13-inch IPS display, and Microsoft is still offering OLED as a separate, more expensive configuration. Speaking of configurations, the Surface Pro will be available with a 10-core Snapdragon X2 Plus or a 12-core Snapdragon X2 Elite. Microsoft expanded the available RAM configurations to 64GB (previously 32GB was the maximum), while storage remains unchanged at 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of user-replaceable PCIe Gen4 SSDs. The new Surface Pro and the Surface Laptop Other specs remain mostly unchanged. The computer has the same 1440p Windows Hello webcam, two USB4 ports for charging, data, and display output, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 support, dual speakers, and compatibility with Surface Pro Signature and Flex keyboards. With that said, there is one very important aspect of the Surface Pro that changed significantly, and it is the price. While the previous-gen Surface Pro launched at $999 for the base configuration, in 2026, the entry-level Surface Pro with Snapdragon X2, 16GB of memory, and 256GB will set you back an eye-watering $1,499. To sweeten the pill, Microsoft is running a limited-time promotion where Surface Pro buyers can get a free Surface Pro 13-inch Keyboard. The promo runs from June 16 through June 30. The new Surface Pro is available now on the official Microsoft Store website.

    • They probably should have it where they can open other formats but only save in the open formats.
    • The next time you apply for a shift at Taco Bell or KFC, you may be interviewed, assessed, and onboarded by three AI agents named Maria, Daniel, and Claire — and those agents will continue scoring your behavior long after you clock in for the first time.................... For workers applying to or already employed at those chains, the implication is concrete: an AI system is assessing their conversational behavior over WhatsApp and phone calls, storing that behavioral data, and using it to inform decisions about whether they are hired, how they are onboarded, and whether they are flagged as a flight risk https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318390/20260615/ai-agents-now-score-taco-bell-kfc-workers-via-whatsapp-day-one.htm
