The numbers were key to the second season, all the way to the finale when they could no longer be entered into the computer. Where are you getting 4 years = 40 days? Because the show has been on the air for four years and has only covered 108 days? The time on the show has no correlation to the viewing time. Why not gripe about 24 taking five months to air even though it's only 24 hours?

One key, critical, and crucial aspect to Lost is that it is a telling of a complete story that will have spanned over the course of six seasons. From the get go it was established as a mystery story, not something to keep you guessing for 30 seconds and then reveal the answer. All of the questions and mysteries are what makes Lost Lost. Comparing it to other shows that are not made in the same manner is pointless.

Lost was always borderline science fiction when it started, but now that they're moving to the mysteries of the island, it is becoming more scifi, and I welcome it with open arms. Anything shown outside of the show is more viral marketing than anything else. You can watch Lost and get exactly what the writers intended on showing and telling. Anything else is extra food for thought and isn't needed to continue telling the story.

If it's not entertaining you, then just stop watching it, while those of us who welcome the scientific theories of time travel and teleportation enjoy the show more and more. From the start Lost forced people to ask questions; don't expect to receive an answer to some of the biggest mysteries of the show before they get a chance to tell their story.

I was exaggerating the 4 years = 40 days. And I don't watch 24, so I can't comment on the timeline of that show.

Yes, Lost was always borderline Sci-Fi, that's why it had so many viewers. Key word is borderline. Now it has gone way over the deep end. We don't want answers every episode, in fact, we don't need answers every season. I was fine with the idea that the numbers/smoke monster wouldn't be explained until the end. That's the point of a show, to keep you watching. I can respect that. What I (and I am guessing the few million others who have stopped watching) don't like is the complete lack of answers. Throw us a bone every now and then.

The lack of a causal line in the show is infuriating. The show was good up until there was a guarenteed number of seasons. from that point on the show has suffered. Why? In my opinion, and maybe I should get my tinfoil hat, is because it is a giant scam. Right now everyone knows that the show only has a few seasons left. So they really don't need to explain everything. They are going to put it off and put it off until the very last season. Why? It is simple, to sell the DVD's. They will keep everything secret and let no big secret go until the end so that once everything that can be known is, the peons will go out and buy the DVD's and watch from season 1 so they can put it all together themselves with their newfound knowledge.

Sounds far-fetched, I know, but one must agree, that is brilliant marketing.

They totally messed up with the Penny / Desmond reunion scene! They should have had Desmond see Penny on the boat, call out her name, and have Ben come up from behind Penny and slit her throat or something.

Thats not really something you would expect in lost, something like 24 maybe but not lost.

Might get that in season 5 or 6.

Cause Ben's threat to Widmore will definitely come true. He took the time to see Widmore, so its definitely his top priority besides going back the island.

Then Desmond will kill Ben, but Sayid will kill Desmond because Sayid needs Ben to kill Widmore. Little did Sayid know, Desmond was pregnant with Sun's son. Jin was deceived throughout season 5, and thinks the son is his, so Jin kills Sayid. But, Jack being Jacob, went back in time and had sex with Sun. So the baby was his after all.

except for the fact that he hasn't told her dad that he was going to kill her yet...

yes we saw it...but at the time when she was reunited with Desmond Ben hadn't been to see Charles yet...

Thanks to Nicole for the following snippets that appeared in Sky One's Lost Answers show which aired after the Season 4 Finale on Sunday. Some of these were obviously tongue-in-cheek.

Thanks to Freckles from Lost-Chile for the portion of the video from the show.

- The black smoke is "misunderstood"

- Christian Shepard will become very important next year

- They have no answers for the love triangle

- They say the flash forwards show that aren't making it up as they go along

- Both Ben and Charles Widmore are very important

- Michael Emerson thinks Ben will end up being a hero

- Lost will definitely end at the end of Season 6.

- Season 7 - The Zombie Season was a joke.

- JR Rowling will write Season 8 and Damon and Carlton would write the 8th Harry Potter book.

- Everyone has great hair on the island due to a woman named "Marge" who was on the plane attending a hair competition in Sydney along with a suitcase full of hair supplies.

I'm quite fond of the 'ben being a good guy really' and protecting the island because he is so fascinated and fond of its physical properties. He's still sly and conniving, but that's just because he doesn't want to be incapacitated.

Perhaps. Not sure anymore about anything! :)

I read this and had to laugh. ITS A THEORY. This has been a theory for eons and it still cant be proven. Its still jumped.

You're saying that LOST jumped the shark because something happened that isn't hard scientific fact?

- smoke monster

- richard alpert not aging / time traveling

- jacob

- whispers

- christian sheperd

- psychics

- sudden curing of illnesses

Are we watching the same show?

I still want to know what was behind that blocked up door in the hatch too, ugh so many unanswered questions. I hope they do have some hatch flashbacks or something in the next season(s).

Play Lost: Via Domus to find out.

      Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.3 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player.

Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder. Play HDR video This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer.

    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      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.
