Does anyone know what the portable vacuum thing that Miles used in the boy's room was or is for? Was it just a prop to help "sell" his talking to spirits or does it do anything?

Also, I have no idea why a group consisting of a pilot, physicist, anthropologist and ghost whisperer would be sent to the island. Do you think Miles would be able to talk to Jacob?

I'm sure it was just a prop.

The team makes sense if they were trying to restart the DHARMA Initiative. But they are just there to capture Ben, it appears. Unless they think capturing Ben is the key to restarting the Initiative.

..he can't seriously know about Jacob?

It stands to reason that if it is DHARMA pulling their strings, they would at least be aware of Jacob.

Or maybe they sent Miles to simply find out what exactly happened to DHARMA in the first place.

Another thought: What if the 'they' that Abaddon was referring to when he asked Hurley 'Are they still alive?' wasn't the survivors but these four newcomers?

Ooh and further, what is the deal that the Oceanic Six had made to not talk wasn't with the newcomers as we all assumed but with the Others and the other survivors...

Edited by episode

Argh I hate watching things episode by episode.

That's why I loved it when I finally got hooked on Lost and season 1 & 2 were out on DVD and 3 just starting - I could fire through them all :laugh:

Same with things like the Wire and Oz, they had numerous seasons out when I heard about them so I could sit and watch multiple episodes.

So heres a discussion topic. As far as I remember, this was the first time we've ever been told on screen exactly where we were. The locations given were:

Essex, Mass

Inglewood, California

Eleuthera, The Bahamas

Medenine, Tunisia

Now, if you draw connecting lines between those, you end up in the Bermuda Triangle, off the coast of Florida. According to Google Earth, the spot is roughly at the point where the Solid Rocket Booster collection point is for a shuttle launch.

Interestingly enough, the antipodal point (exactly opposite on the earth) is just off the west coast of Australia.

Very interesting indeed! Is there a site that shows some images of this? I'm feeling lazy myself... :p

As episode pointed out, probably just a prop. As for Jacob, that would probably depend on whether Jacob is dead, since Miles can communicate with the dead, but it would be interesting to see what would happen.

Why he would use those four, we don't know. We know Miles can communicate with spirits of the dead, while Charlotte has some kind of DHARMA connection (she specifically looked for the logo on the polar bear remains). As for Dan and Frank, not sure how they would fit in the equation, but Frank was supposed to be the pilot on 815, while Dan was weeping when the fake plane was found, so he has some kind of emotional connection. I'm sure we'll eventually see how they're connected, just like all the survivors have had connections.

I'm sure it was just a prop.

Yeah I haven't thought about that, that dude is creepy as G-Man from HL2 :p

The previews promised another Oceanic Six reveal next week, but we will also learn about another major main character who's out in the world in the future, who doesn't fall under that banner. Who is that person? The end of this ep pretty much gives it away.

Remember the headspace Sayid was in at the beginning of the series, where he was gonna go straight and not torture people anymore and try to play nice with his fellow man? Well, in the future, that's all shot to hell. Emphasis on shot.

When I caught up tonight with Jeff Fahey (Frank the kick-ass "drunk" pilot), he told me what the fans have accused him of being God, Satan or some dude who's there to impregnate the women on the island. And the clincher? He hinted that one of those is true. What the hey? For more gorey details on that, check back next week for the video, but in the meantime...

Very interesting indeed! Is there a site that shows some images of this? I'm feeling lazy myself... :p

If you just take my word for it that the point is roughly off the coast of Florida, toward Bermuda, you can use this site:

And that will show you were the opposite location is.

Argh I hate watching things episode by episode.

I agree!!! my wife and I have previously avoided LOST while it was on TV and then just waited a year for the DVD's. But this strike shortened season we decided to watch it live. It's terribly frustrating.. Next year im avoiding it again.

I wonder when the Temple will come in play...remember Ben told Alpert to take the others to the Temple.

If we only have 8 episodes this season, i reckon that will be season 5.

If we only have 8 episodes this season, i reckon that will be season 5.

We'll get more. Lost is to popular for ABC to cancel the rest of the episodes and considering the strike will be over by next Wednesday (no later than), I'm sure they'll be back filming as early as 11th :)

If we only have 8 episodes this season, i reckon that will be season 5.

Yeah I want more Temple and Feet Statue! (no fetish!), theres so much I want to see really...more Stations as well, but I doubt we will see the Temple seeing as Richard Alpert took them there and he is taking a sabbatical from Lost atm.

in what this show has become?. GHOSTBUSTERS!. haha. I know this show has been recorded about a year ago, but to "Daniel", this is NOT Solaris (a good movie, btw , I recommend it), this is a bad show with no script at all. You dont need to show your potential in here. I know you are in only 3 episodes (probably a couple more) but come on. I cant believe this actor sign on this.

Oh, from Locke to Ben:

-"What is the monster?"

-"What??"

-"The black smoke!. The monster!. What is it?!!"

-"I dont know"

ROFL. We dont either and we can live with that. Well, at least the 1% of the ppl who watch the show. Now explain that to the other 99%. They have a lot of theories. All valid. HAHA.

W.T.F :|

I know about ten people who hate the show, but when they are over and i am watching it, then cant take their eyes off my TV. They still say how stupid it is but why are they so interested... i find it funny.

It's because it's the type of show there are soo many questions to be asked, and the answers themselves can be speculated into being just about anything.

That fuels massive discussions and theories, and then it also fuels the desire to tune in and see the next episode :p

The only problem with Lost and that is, you finish one episode with 2 questions, wait till next week and instead of coming away with your questions answered, you come away with 3 more unanswered questions :laugh:

I do fear the finale of lost, im just worried it won't end great - Or end in a satisfying way :/ Anyone else worried about the "ending" ?

After you watch, are there spoilers?

Here's a recap:

* The show's wardrobe department keeps at least a dozen versions of Jack's classic blue T-shirt. Sanchez chose that shade of blue because he didn't think that Jack would wear a "happy" color.

*

Sanchez introduced fans to Lulu, the set dog. Lulu has appeared in several Lost episodes, including scenes set in Nigeria. She is also the dog in the infamous painting in Jacob's cabin.

*

Believe it or not, Miles' costume was inspired by Keith Richards.

*

The vest-hoodie that Miles wore in "Confirmed Dead" was originally an Armani Exchange jacket. The sleeves were removed, and a hood was added.

*

When Jeremy Davies met Sanchez for a fitting, he was wearing a skinny black tie. Sanchez liked the idea of Daniel having a costume that mixed "edginess" with a more traditional academic look, so he used the tie.

In next week's podcast, two cast members will discuss "The Economist." Check back here for another recap!

So heres a discussion topic. As far as I remember, this was the first time we've ever been told on screen exactly where we were. The locations given were:

Essex, Mass

Inglewood, California

Eleuthera, The Bahamas

Medenine, Tunisia

Now, if you draw connecting lines between those, you end up in the Bermuda Triangle, off the coast of Florida. According to Google Earth, the spot is roughly at the point where the Solid Rocket Booster collection point is for a shuttle launch.

Interestingly enough, the antipodal point (exactly opposite on the earth) is just off the west coast of Australia.

Yes I knew this show had something to do with Bermuda Triangle... I am a fan of X-files, and this seem like it all the way!

The one 'Bermuda Triangle" episode on X-files is one of my ALL time favorite episode of all!!!

The island is a Ghost island, folks!

    • Just when I thought EA couldn't go lower. They surpassed my expectations
    • The GEEKOM A8 mini PC is 20% off (lower than Prime Day pricing) plus Huge Storewide Sale by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a deal on a variant of its A8 Mini PC powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 8945HS, which came out in 2024 with a TDP of just 45W, with a base clock of 3.8 GHz and a Turbo Boost of 4.9 GHz; although we never reviewed this variant, we did check out the Ryzen 9 version. As a reminder of what you get, below are the specifications for this Mini PC. GEEKOM A8 Dimensions 112.4 mm x 112.4 mm x 37 mm Weight 450g CPU Ryzen 7 8745HS (8 cores, 16 threads, 16MB L3 cache, 3.8 - 4.9 GHz, TDP: 45 W) cTDP: 35-54W (Default 45W) Graphics AMD Radeon™ 780M Graphics 12 RDNA 3 Graphics Cores 2700MHz 768 shading units / stream processors (12 CUs), 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU XDNA architecture (Up to 16 NPU TOPS) Memory 16GB Dual-channel Crucial DDR5-5600MT/s SODIMM (up to 64GB) Storage 1TB NVMe M.2 (PCIe Gen 4.0 x4) Operating System Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth Bluetooth v5.2 Wireless LAN Wi-Fi 6E Kensington Lock No SD Card reader Yes (left side) Adapter 120W, 6.32A, 19V Power Adapter Front I/O Ports 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x 3.5mm front stereo headset jack Rear I/O Ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x USB 4 Gen 3 Type-C with Power delivery up to 15W (5V 3A) 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A 2 x HDMI 2.0b 1 x 2.5G RJ45 LAN 1 x DC-in Deal Price $519 (buying links below) GEEKOM has two configurations of the A8, with the only difference being the slightly less-powerful Ryzen 7 CPU with half the storage (1TB) and DDR5 memory (16GB). This knocks $350 off the price compared to the $999 Ryzen 9 configuration. In both instances, a Windows 11 Pro license is also pre-loaded. As I said previously, this appears to be an update on the A7 with the only difference being the newer CPU. The packaging has changed quite a bit from the A7. Instead of dark colors, now the box is completely white, and the foam cushion has been replaced by a cardboard mould that the A8 sits in, above a small envelope that contains a thank you card and booklet that has guidance on all of the controls, how to access the A8 to swap out the SSD or memory, and safety information in several European languages. Upon removing the cardboard mould, you can find another cardboard compartment that contains the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA plate, and a bag of screws. What’s In The Box 1 x A8 Mini PC 1 x Power Adapter 1 x HDMI Cable 1 x VESA plate and bag of screws 1 x Envelope with booklet and Thank you card Unlike the A7, the VESA mount option is back with the A8.
