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!

    • Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta by Razvan Serea Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need! Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta changelog: Improve the guards for using the "silent" option Improve the ability to cancel during write retries Fix unrestricted XML entity expansion and integer overflow in ezxml parser (courtesy of @esadowski4) [GHSA-55r2-34wg-8mv9] Fix "silent" Windows installation failing at 75% in most cases [#2960] Fix a crash during boot when using UEFI:NTFS on Snapdragon X based ARM64 platforms [#2934] Fix the first WUE option always being checked by default [#2965] Fix an infinite loop when using Windows ISOs that contain multiple WIMs Fix "Enable runtime UEFI media validation" checkbox not always being properly enabled Other WUE improvements/fixes for OneDrive removal and username validation (with thanks to @christian8641) [#2984, #2991] Download: Rufus 4.15 Beta | 1.9 MB (Open Source) Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.3 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. 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. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel.

    • 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.
