Interesting post over at Dark's Screencaps section.

Thanks to Forensic007 for the following.

I saw on one of the discussion boards that someone brought up the collapsible baton that Ben had when he teleported into the desert. He then used it to beat the snot out of the men who tried to overtake him. We see the baton again in the last episode when he hands it to Locke right before he goes marching up to The Orchid. He tells Locke, "Hang on to this for me," or something to that effect.

Anyway, someone mentioned possibly seeing this baton during the first few seconds of Pilot 1. I went back and re-watched it on-line in HD and took

a screencap. Sure enough, right after the camera pulls back from Jack's face you see a non-organic black cylindrical object to Jack's left.

Attached is a screencap I made of it.

Some people are thinking that in the future Jack finds his way back to the island and this baton thing could possibly be the key to getting back.

Otherwise, why would Ben have "passed the baton" to Locke. Why would he care if the Freighters took it? Also, that the Pilot episode's opening scene was actually Jack coming back to the island and that the point where Jack pivots around on the beach and sees/hears nothing, turns back around

and sees/hears the crash site is the transition back to the present. Far fetched? Maybe. Possible? Sure, why not.

What do you guys think? Could be just a coincidence but then again....

One thing I'm wondering is why nobody questioned Oceanic's unbelievable story about the plane crashing to the south/southwest of Indonesia.

If the plane was flying from Sydney to LA, it would have had to have been off course since the beginning of the flight to be where it ended up... As someone on another site said (for the benefit of our US readers), it's like having a New York -> London plane crashing in Louisiana.

Didn't it take more than a day (island time) to get to the freighter from the island? Then how was Faraday sure he would be able to take most of the on-beach losties to the ship before Sayid returned?

I assumed that the over a day in island time that it took them to reach the freighter was due to the helicopter not following the correct bearing exactly due to the storm. Which also happened to be the cause of Desmond becoming unstuck in time and all that.

When Faraday was in ferrying people in the Zodiac craft, he was able to follow the correct bearings so I guess that either minimizes or negates the time effects of going to and from the island.

what bugged me more was the distance: isn't the freighter something like 80 miles offshore? Do those boats even have a range like that?

Started watching Season 4 finally last night.. God this show has started dragging on and on.. I have seriously lost any interest as it's highly repetitive and now it just seems they are writing things as it goes along.

Too bad.

I think you are in a very small minority with those thoughts. They are finally tying up loose ends that have been there since the beginning, and this season has moved very quickly once it got started.

I found this pretty interesting.

For the un-bold numbers 117+1-10=108

Some people have too much time on their hands. Jesus.

And what's the reason for summing up only specific numbers to get results you want. LOL..

I'm sorry but this is totally off the whack.

You wanna watch a real show.. Watch Dexter.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
