Interesting Popup, never notice it before - In 2000 movie Frequency there is also a Jack Shepard character!

http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0010936/

A rare atmospheric phenomenon allows a New York City firefighter to communicate with his son 30 years in the future via short-wave radio. The son uses this opportunity to warn the father of his impending death in a warehouse fire, and manages to save his life. However, what he does not realize is that changing history has triggered a new set of tragic events, including the murder of his mother. The two men must now work together, 30 years apart, to find the murderer before he strikes so that they can change history--again.

When have Desmonds episodes ever been simple? :laugh:

lol so true... What a fantastic episode!!! One of my fave's since.... well, as long as I can remember. I don't know in the short term how much it relates, but obviously its going to be a huge episode come the future.

Wow so uhh.. great episode. The use of 'the constant' between Des and Penny was extremely well done and summed up their relationship very well.

I guess Minkowski isn't Ben's man on the boat, since he's dead and he obviously didn't open the door. I'm still betting that its someone we know.

But the time thing on/off the island is rather odd.

How can time pass differently on/off when the time is the same on/off. The date (Dec 24) on the boat is the same as on island. So time only passes differently when you're going to/from the island?

Next week's episode looks amazing.

Almost all of the character names are taken from somewhere else.

For instance, take Locke. However, I'm pretty confident that the 'Shepard' part of Jack's name was what they wanted to emphasize, especially considering that Jack was to die in the pilot originally. He would have been the person to 'lead the flock' onto the island, and would have died with that purpose fulfilled.

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
