the polar bear in the desert isnt "ancient" one of the chicks said "is it a dinosaur?" and the other chick said "your off by a couple of million years" or something to that effect. i think the polar bear has onely been there no more than 3 decades and has decade super fast thanks to the desert. what it is doing there, i have no clue.

im so frusterated that they only come up with more questions and no answers! all of you are happy that they answered something, did we watch the same episode? what did they answer? i literally jumped out of my seat when locke grabbed ben and asked him (might i add out of the millions of questions he could have picked from) what is the black smoke monster!? OMG, that is a question that they should have asked the moment they say that thing in season one! lol, and what happened ben : "i dont know" oh $#@$ you! hahahaha

im not liking any of the new people on the team sent to the island, they are annoying and shallow. im glad to get all of their origin stories out of the way in one episode!

oh and it is pretty obvious that they are DHARMA and they are still ****ed. ****ED. they want ben, either to kill him or interrogate him, and they want the island back. i think the islands is tied up somehow with time and other world s parodoxies you can see this with the others not aging (others not ben) and when we saw jack's double at the end of the other season in the antarctic. great show, they got me hooked, but i think thats what lost is! its a series of mysteries and questions that never get answered , because not answering the questions IS THE SHOW!

anyone think Ben's (undercover) man on the boat could be Michael?

That's a great question, but I could see some possible issues. When did the freighter leave port? If Ben knew about the boat prior to 815 ever crashing, it's likely Ben's inside man was there from the get go. Michael's only concern was getting him and his son off of the island, so why would he continue doing work for Ben after having escaped? Still, it's not a bad theory.

^You do remember Walt is back.....so...Michael must be too.

Of course I know that, Michael being picked up by the freighter would make it possible for him to be Ben's inside man.... or maybe it's Walt? After all, as noted, Michael wanted off the island. Walt, on the other hand, did not.

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.

I've tried to work it out in Google Earth, but how do these locations connect/intersect Bermuda?

All these spectulations are totally cool and fun, but I just hope in the end the answer/explanation lives up to it, you know? And, we not let down by a "We knew it all along, but the producers Kept denying it"...

I will say this, if by the end of the show, if indeed everything can be explained by PURE science I will declare this show the BEST SHOW EVER! :)

Did I miss "taller Walt"? I don't remember seeing him. Was he in one of the last episodes of the previous season when John was shot, laying in the pit? Was it a vision or actually Walt? One of the most annoying things for me about Lost is Michael and Walt leaving about an entire season ago and not being seen since!

He saw walt when he was "dying" but don't forget Walt is gifted so it wouldn't surprise me if projected himself on Locke to spur him on.

Uhm, if they LEFT, why would you see them?

And technically, Walt has been gone since the end of S1.

"Taller Walt" was in 'Through the Looking Glass'. Don't know how you missed it.

'Special', not gifted. What confused me was that Locke was describing Walt as it it was actually Walt. Why wouldn't Locke think that it was just the island showing him things, as had been happening to him for the entire time hes been there.

Don't forget he was briefly seen at the end of season two, when Michael finally got the boat :yes:

Right, and he has 'appeared' many other times. He was also in 'Three Minutes'. But he has been gone from the survivors since S1.

Decent thought, but if Michael was on the boat, wouldn't that convince the survivors not to go there? Since they know he killed Ana Lucia and Libby?

Doesn't prove much though. She said 'a few million years'. Dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago.

I'm confident they will tie up all the important parts.

As far as Locke asking about the smoke monster: Remember that he has 'looked into it' and also nearly been taken underground by it. There is no other single question that Ben could have answered right then and there, really. All the other questions would require an explanation.

im not liking any of the new people on the team sent to the island, they are annoying and shallow. im glad to get all of their origin stories out of the way in one episode!

Agreed, except for the pilot. I don't know why, but his story seemed much more interesting than the rest of them.

Only Richard Alpert is shown not to age. We don't know about the rest of them.

I agree that they are DHARMA.

Jack's double? Are you saying that because they looked alike? It wasn't Jack or even alluding to be him.

Dunno maybe he just believes that he is there is some way.

Unless once Locke got out it actually WAS Walt. We didn't see that happen though.

Two other tidbits:

Daniel Faraday is a reference to Michael Faraday, a physicist who studied -- you guessed it -- magnetic fields.

Charlotte Lewis was given a middle name in the episode. Staples. Charlotte Staples Lewis. Or C. S. Lewis. He wrote 'The Chronicles of Narnia' among many other things.

No idea on the other two yet. Lapidus has quite a few things it could be.

Edit: Found out it was Miles Straume. Looking now.

Here's a theory.

What if the 'man' on the boat is ....

Annie.

Never thought about that actually, people have wondered where she went.

They didn't show her dead. I would figure they would do that. She was the only person he cared about.

She must be alive - somewhere.

And it stands to reason he would send her off the island, so she wouldn't die if she got pregnant.

Yeah I wondered why they never showed that which makes you think Ben moved her away just before the purge went down.

I wish someone would leak the episodes :p

Anyone remember when that happened with Prison Break? At one point I actually think episodes were leaked a few eps later than the current :laugh: People even watched them not knowing exactly what had happened inbetween!

ps. /methinks Rappy :heart: 's Lost!

    • This is about the EU given consumers options, Apple is all about not giving options and locking you into its own services, this hurts Apple far more than it hurts the EU market because it makes Apple products look less appealing by Apple refusing to offer its own service because they have to give options to rivals, the end results are consumers might look at alternatives like Android. It's a game Apple can't really win when there are alternatives and Apple will in time change course on this, until then, let Apple hurt themselves in the EU market.
    • 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.
