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.

    • It depends, but it's also going to push more adoption of open source AI models that can run locally, I'm seeing a pattern among the US and China when it comes to closed and open source AI models, they close when they feel they have the advantage, open up when they feel they don't. This has little to do with security and everything to do with control, the irony is that the ones that do go open and get the community behind them are the ones that have the real control, hence why we keep seeing this seesaw from closed to open. Ultimately, it's far too dangerous to let any one country or corporation to control AI, which is why open source AI or AI you can run locally on your hardware is very likely going to be the future of AI over the long run, this is especially the case as AI becomes more powerful and useful for user, privacy, security and censorship will become more of an issue for users and businesses.
    • A person should only be required to click through to an article if they want to know more details. The headline should give basic facts. A basic fact would include the name of the service being shut down.
    • That would probably be a good outcome, but it would also require other "features" be changed to comply, such as Auto play, scrolling, and advertising. Having the laws shift these platforms back to a socially responsible and useful places is a benefit for everyone. The addictive nature is the problem, and while many blame the individual, psychologists would suggest the platform is using a well trodden playbook to hook in more revenue..
    • It is in fact being discontinued in the US in July.
    • It was a rather nice rant as I rather dislike when people support the shitifcation of the Internet. My comment also factually applied the definition of "clickbait' to this headline unlike your comment. I have been reading this site for some 20 years now so I will call them out when they are doing carp they shouldn't be doing but thanks for your concern. You can't even do a search by headline anymore to do a quick search to find something because most of the titles lack all the relevant keywords that should be there.
