So anyone have any thoughts on the calendar?

There are four different colors used on the X's on the dates. Black, Yellow, Blue, Red

And here are the days on island for those colors:

Blue

22 23 24 25 27 28 56 60

Red

44 45 51 61 67 69 70 76 77 80 84 85 88 90

Yellow

29 30 31 32

Black

10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 26 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 46 47 48 49 50 52 53 54 55 57 58 59 62 63 64 65 66 68 71 72 73 74 75 78 79 81 82 83 86 87 89 91 92 93

I looked through the timeline quick and I can't find anything that jumps out, but maybe someone else has thoughts?

I think that these writers DO have significance tied to all these things, like Penny's # too, but we just have no clue what they mean... they are very hard to decipher!

I would imagine the colours do signify something.

A Major Death

One final warning: if you want to avoid spoilers about what is a pretty major plot twist, then look away now.

In two weeks' time we learn that the final two members of "Oceanic Six" are Jin and Sun. One of the Oceanic Six will also DIE in a flashforward, and I have it on very good authority that the person being killed off is actually (highlight the text to the right to reveal): one of this pair, but I won't go so far as to say which. Of course, because they're being killed off in the future, they will still be part of the show in the present, any flashbacks to the past and any flashforwards before the point they are killed off. Why couldn't poor Charlie have "died" this way?

The return of Michael (and maybe Walt)

... will come in episode eight - the final before a five-week hiatus - called 'Meet Kevin Johnson'. The episode tracks what happened to Michael (is he now known as Kevin Johnson, perhaps?) since he left the island with his son. According to various reports, there are scenes set in New York where Michael meets up with.. wait for it... Mr. Friendly. Yes, the same Mr. Friendly shot dead by Sawyer at the end of season three.

The Future

Speaking to the New York Post this week, Lost guru Damon Lindelof outlined this roadmap for the final three seasons: "Season 4 is about who gets off the island and the fact that they need to get back. Season 5 is about why they need to get back, and season 6 is about what happens when they get back."

Michael meeting Mr. Friendly... :| That's going to be crazy

The future part is almost on par with what I was saying the next three season would be like.

I'm definitely not reading about the death, however. I want shock!

Yeah thats gonna be crazy plus that could strengthen the fact Michael is indeed the spy on the boat.

Anyway the info came from Digital Spy Tube Talk incase people think I made it up from my head :)

In Chapin Lane the crew recreated a busy street of New York. Christmas lights were strung everywhere, and people were bundled up for the winter cold. A green newsstand and a New York Yellow Cab stood nearby, as well as other older cars fitted with New York plates. Smoke machines blanketed the ground with white fog. Michael (Harold Perrineau) seemed to be the center of attention.

His clean cut look suggested that this was a flashback. In a narrow alley he met Tom (M.C. Gainey). And wasn't a friendly encounter, either, involving a gun and a fistfight. The scene possibly involved a car crash

They were shooting a bunch of scenes with Harold Perrineau coming out of a NYC apartment building, getting in a green Dodge Aspen, reading some folded paper that he pulled out of his pocket, and speeding away in his car down the street. The car was also part of the earlier shoot, where the talk of a car crash was picked up.

* Libby will show up in Episode 8. She might somehow be involved in the mini cliff-hanger.

After this filming, the crew had to rush off to report to the day?s second shoot: a scene with Sun ? at a funeral.

The person who dies is an original 815er. And as far as major Lost deaths go, this one veers from tradition in one significant way.

I wonder how the death veers from Lost tradition?

- Rousseau may pop up in another character's flashback.

- The four-toed statue is very important and will be addressed in season 4.

- We'll know by the end of the season that there will be two alternative explanations for why Oceanic 815 is in the trench at the bottom of the ocean. It will not be clear which story one should believe. [To be clear, Cuse is saying the mystery of Ben's list is linked to this wreckage.]

Ben admits that Juliet was chosen to be his, as in a mate. Not to be with Goodwin. And that he wouldn't let Goodwin leave the tailies group specifically because he wanted him to get killed. This all becomes clear to Juliet as Ben shows her Goodwin's dead body.

Jenny in Adelaide, Australia: Lost! Gimme!

Huh? Whosey whatsy show? Oh, that one with the people on the weird island? I guess I can talk about it. Episode nine is gonna feature some richy-rich types who live in a doorman building—the show is now casting for a French-speaking African desk clerk and a "distinguished" doorman. Methinks we're going back to Tunisia...Holler! (Can't stop saying that since Rebecca Mader's hilarious delivery. Why can't I be from Cambridge?)

Thomas in Columbus, Ohio: As a fellow Lost enthusiast, I wanted to send you my theory about the connection between Oceanic Six and the sky turning purple. What do you think? Am I crazy? Wait, don't answer that...

I think it's kind of brilliant. Spoilerphobes, don't click in until later this season, as there are spoilers herein about the identities of the remaining two of the Oceanic Six.

Sayid works for Ben! Bang! Kate adopts Aaron! Boom! Leaving the island makes Desmond's mind go back and forth in time. Pow! This non-stop thriller of a season of ABC's "Lost" has sure had its share of shockers. So what else awaits the fans until the 4th season finale on May 22? A recap of the latest spoilers, after the jump.

1. The Oceanic 6 are Jack, Kate, Sayid, Hurley and (allegedly) Sun and Jin. The last two will be revealed in the March 13 episode (which is why ABC briefly considered ending the winter run with that episode).

2. Season 4 ends with the Oceanic 6 leaving the island.

3. We learn how they leave and what happens to those who stay behind.

4. We learn who was in the coffin in Jack's 3rd season finale flash forward.

5. Sun or Jin will be killed off in a flash forward.

6. Ji Yeon (episode #407 title) is the name of Sun and Jin's child.

7. Kate and Sawyer are not over yet.

8. There may be some growth issues when you go on or off the island.

9. We learn what happened to Michael by March 20. It may have something to do with Mr. Friendly (Tom). Libby (Cynthia Watros) also appears in the episode.

10. Jack's 3rd season finale flash forward took place after the recent Sayid flash forward.

11. The show may flash back to Sayid's childhood.

12. Season 5 will be about why people who got off the island need to go back.

13. Season 6 (the final season) will be about what happens to them after they get back. "Lost" is expected to end in May 2010.

I like the growth one that seems pretty awesome!

Good way to explain why walt is older now

Remember from a old podcast, they said they knew Walt would grow faster than the show is produced, they planned it and know where they are going with it. Looking forward to that!

Yeah I remember them saying that, he's not planned to return is he? this season at least?

I'm in the USA on a layover and got a chance to see the latest episode on my pc.

I was reading a Digg submission on the latest episode, "The Constant", and someone had a funny comment:

Lost has two settings: boring and mind****.

:laugh:

I don't think LOST is ever boring, but the comment made me laugh, since "The Constant" was a definite mind****.

As if smoke monsters and tropical polar bears weren?t enough to keep our heads spinning, Thursday?s episode of Lost, ?The Constant,? opened up a whole new can of worms: the fourth dimension.

Flying from the island toward a mysterious freighter, pilot Frank Lapidus can?t keep his helicopter on the bearing that physicist Daniel Faraday says will get Desmond and Sayid to the freighter safely?presumably through a wormhole. They encounter some turbulence, and Desmond begins, yes, traveling through time, with increasingly rapid lapses between 1996 and the present (which, on the show, is still 2004). With new particle physics research recently taking time travel from Doc Brown fantasy to down-the-line possibility, we spoke with Dr. Michio Kaku, whose new book, ?Physics of the Impossible,? makes Lost?s flip-flop between past and present look, well, not impossible.

Unlike deadly black holes, traversable wormholes could make a condition such as Desmond?s feasible if the portals that skip time and space without an event horizon were ever discovered, Kaku says. When treating him remotely over Lost?s super satellite phone, Faraday asks Desmond if he had been exposed to any extreme doses of radiation or electromagnetic energy that could make him ?a little confused.? And that?s where the show?s producers did their homework for the key plot twist when the helicopter sends Desmond?s conscience to become unstuck in time.

?To open the wormhole, you need large amounts of energy,? Kaku says. ?In principle, if you could harness the energy of a star, you might be able to bend time into a pretzel, but we are talking about astronomical amounts of energy.? Maybe like a huge source of electromagnetic energy that needs to be discharged every 108 minutes to keep from ripping a giant, gaping hole in the time-space continuum? Like the one that Desmond got an extreme closeup with in the Season 2 finale?

Maybe. When Desmond warps back to visit Faraday at Oxford University in 1996, he watches Faraday zap a mouse with a dose of radiation, thereby sending her mind into the future. Upon her return a few minutes later, the lab rat can run a complex maze without hesitation; Faraday ?unstuck? her in time. And there?s no law of physics preventing this kind of time travel?just a lack of know-how. Stephen Hawking tried to create a chronology projection conjecture forbidding time travel, but he failed. So while most physicists would say that time travel is possible, we?re not officially back to the future just yet.

?It would take a very advanced civilization to really do this,? Kaku says. ?We are too primitive to harness this technology.? But it?s looking increasingly like some new island inhabitants might have just figured it out in time for some post-writers? strike competition. ?Erin Scottberg

    • Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.

    • VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

    • OK, now ask yourself how are they going to enforce that law? By requiring every single adult to prove their age and provide their legal identity documents to an UNREGULATED 3rd party company that already has a long track record of multiple data breaches. Not to mention, parliament have voted AGAINST this ban, twice, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. So, where's the democracy here, because that looks like dictatorship to me. The solution here is parental responsibility, not government control. Run some public service announcements on TV and UK social media teaching parents how to setup parental controls. That's already been proven to actually work. But the, this is not and has NEVER been about keeping kids safe. It's about control and monitoring. Watching what you're doing online and controlling what you can see and what you can say.
    • Interesting read. I knew the adware was quite controversial at the time, however never realised to the point The Guardian wrote an article about Patchou. I just said no and enjoyed his creation, I’d probably be a lot more wary of something like that today though.
