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

    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.
