No, I'd say it actually gives less, during the season. The people (like Rappy, for instance) that see a spoiler such as "Kate has Aaron!!!!!!!1 " before the show airs aren't going to be discussing it in depth after the episode is shown, because they already knew it. Thats not to say he might not say SOMETHING, but the shock and immediate discussion is gone.

I like to read the spoilers but when I actually see it I am still very shocked, I mean I read about Aaron before Season 4 started but when I saw it I was still really stunned how it went down like this week for example I know what happens in the spoilers released but I am still looking forward to it just like any other show I see.

Heroes have spoilers released but I still think it doesn't take the buzz away but thats maybe just me.

I'd wager that the shock value and discovery of information becomes all the more intriguing and, well, shocking if no spoilers were ever around.

I just can't fathom how knowing weeks before the episode aired that Kate's son was Aaron would have an equal, or nearly equal, effect as finding out the moment it's revealed on the show. You know it's coming, so how is it shocking? Maybe how they accomplish it is interesting, but shocking? I can't see it.

Yeah I get where you are coming from the fact the spoilers just say random facts like "Kates Son called Aaron" or "Hurley is in Oceanic 6" its not like they are sentences upon sentences I just love the way the actual facts go down, but sometimes I am shocked how they go down for example with the aaron thing...I thought watching that episode that infact the spoiler was false and then at the end I was shocked how she went up to him and hugged him that stunned me.

But I can see if from the other side of the coin tho if someone told me when I was lining up for the Sixth Sense that Bruce Willis is a ghost and I went in and saw the movie I would think wait a minute thats pointless I know the twist I would just walk out but with Lost the way they put the facts forward are still amazing whether I know them or not.

Summary of the 7 snippets for "The Other Women"

7. At the end Juliet warns Jack to stay away from her because Ben has killed the last men who tried to possess her. Jack and Juliet have a significant kiss. And Jack says he (Ben) can come and get him.

Previous Snippets

1. The others have a therapist. And we find out she was married to Goodwin.

2. Daniel and Charlotte have taken the gas masks and left everyone else to make their way to the new hatch.

3. In a romantic flashback we find out Goodwin works at the new hatch. Dealing with some type of reactors.

4. Charlotte and Daniel want to shutdown the hatch because Ben could use it to gas the whole island.

5. 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 Goodwins dead body.

6. Juliet finds out Daniel and Charlotte are there to stop Ben and are more good guys then bad. She doesn't shoot them.

So far season four has been the reinvention of the flash. You have the multi-character flash. The character flashing back and forth between the past and the present. The future flash, of course. And with ?Confirmed Dead,? you have a multi-character flashback. Ji Yeon also does something highly interesting with the flash device. Something you probably won?t be able to figure out until the end. Don?t forget to check back next week and tell me what you thought.

I started playing LOST via Dumas for xbox360, and it's just not really following the LOST story line. The characters look pretty good, but your viewing season 1 and 2 through the eyes of someone else (not a real character) named Elliot.

Cool game though.. but at sometimes it's frustrating to do the same mission a hundred times. Rental only

^do you really just wait for it to come on the day and posting how long it is in forums and just staying on the net...

do something else its healthy

:o

Mathachew's countdowns are like what makes this thread!

Chill dude. Its his "thing"

Its more or less 5 hours and the same expression :|

Not a great episode, but not a bad episode either. At least we found out who the boat belongs to and technically it is connected to Penny :laugh: Anyway, next week's episode looks good, can't wait to find out who the person on the boat is (I'm still thinking Michael, but that's just my opinion).

    • 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

    • 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.
