Something from Kristin

According to my sources, our Claire-bear (Emilie de Ravin) will not be a regular in season five, but rather she will be on a "holding contract." However, after her sojourn in the underworld, or wherever she is, she will return to us for season six.

I just found Michael Ausiello has left TV Guide, no more spoilers from him then.

Interesting. Kind of expected actually.

Ausiello didn't have any spoilers, so no loss there!

He'll be back in flashbacks

Lets hope so, i thought it would be a happy ending for him and Walt. Also Hurley lied to Walt!

It came to me just that Desmond's vision never came true. Claire and her baby getting into a helicopter

If memory serves me correctly, there have been no indications that someone could teleport from outside the island to the island (or elsewhere). There have been people who are on the island that would appear on other spots of the island, but to suggest that Michael may not have died is silly.

At this point doing flashbacks doesn't really serve much purpose unless it is about characters that have been explored only a little. It's been 108 days since the crash when the Oceanic Six wash up on shore. Given the timeline, the island moved roughly 101 days after the crash. What we'll see at this point is the aftermath of the island being moved (which can be considered present time since that's what we've been focusing on since the Pilot episode) in conjunction with flashforwards, which is post island events for those who did get off and are trying to get back. It'll be interesting to see how the writers tie the past-present with the future-present in regards to the story telling, because technically what we saw last night (the rescue, island disappearing, etc.) are past events.

Good point Peewee. I wonder if Desmond will have any more visions or do any more time travel.

I still think Season 1 finale trumps any finale so far but it was still good.

The donkeywheel was a thing I think that will either make people jump the shark or stay and watch and yes peewee lostfan was on the button for everything.

That's cuz you read too much spoilers before watching it!

STOP reading spoilers.

That might help! :)

BTW, OMG I am having A TONS of Lost Dreams!!!

just a quick observation but the man in the coffin doe not have the scar on his face that locke has......

While it's not as obvious, I can see a portion under his eye where his scar would've been. Corpses typically have make up put on, so it's not unlikely to assume that the scar was mostly covered, however, there's not much you can put past the writers of the show.

That's cuz you read too much spoilers before watching it!

STOP reading spoilers.

I think even if I hadn't read the spoilers I would still feel the same.

I think even if I hadn't read the spoilers I would still feel the same.

I really felt last night was one of my most Intense, suspenseful experiences ever.

And, the guessing (Not knowing what's going to happen) and suspense really really helped in a BIG way!

Every 5-10 minutes, something BIG was going on, really was a Spetacular night!

I am sure knowing all these spoiler would have lessen that experience!

The show, unlike Smallville and others, Have SO MUCH mystery, puzzles, and surprises it's just not a show to read spoilers on (Like 24)!

I think this IS the BEST Season Finale of Lost yet, so Suspenseful, Emotional, it's a Rollercoaster ride thruout!

You wouldn't.

For instance, you went in already knowing the 'mechanics' of how the island was to be moved. (Donkey wheel) You already had a predisposition that you wouldn't like it, and thus you don't. But if you had just watched it once in the context of the show, you wouldn't be as upset.

Well, I had hoped that the Lost season finale would experience a huge upswing in the ratings, but unfortunately that was not the case. What else was there to do last night aside from watching one of the best episodes of one of the best shows ever? Who knows. Anyway, the Lost finale averaged 12.2 million viewers over its two hours. That's up a little bit from part 1, but down compared to the ratings of past finales, which you can see below: Season 1 Finale: 20.71 million

Season 2 Finale: 17.84 million

Season 3 Finale: 13.86 million

Season 4 Finale: 12.2 million

It's kind of sad that eight million people have abandoned the show since the first season, but that sort of thing is bound to happen as the series grows more complicated and sci-fi heavy. Here's how the finale stacks up with the ratings from the rest of the season:

"The Beginning of the End" -- 16.07 million

"Confirmed Dead" -- 15.06 million

"The Economist" -- 13.62 million

"Eggtown" -- 13.53 million

"The Constant" -- 12.9 million

"The Other Woman" -- 13.0 million

"Ji Yeon" -- 11.87 million

"Meet Kevin Johnson" -- 11.28 million

"The Shape of Things to Come" -- 12.4 million

"Something Nice Back Home" -- 11.14 million

"Cabin Fever" -- 11.28 million

"There's No Place Like Home, Part 1" -- 11.43 million

"There's No Place Like Home, Part 2" -- 12.2 million

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
