the polar bear in the desert isnt "ancient" one of the chicks said "is it a dinosaur?" and the other chick said "your off by a couple of million years" or something to that effect. i think the polar bear has onely been there no more than 3 decades and has decade super fast thanks to the desert. what it is doing there, i have no clue.

im so frusterated that they only come up with more questions and no answers! all of you are happy that they answered something, did we watch the same episode? what did they answer? i literally jumped out of my seat when locke grabbed ben and asked him (might i add out of the millions of questions he could have picked from) what is the black smoke monster!? OMG, that is a question that they should have asked the moment they say that thing in season one! lol, and what happened ben : "i dont know" oh $#@$ you! hahahaha

im not liking any of the new people on the team sent to the island, they are annoying and shallow. im glad to get all of their origin stories out of the way in one episode!

oh and it is pretty obvious that they are DHARMA and they are still ****ed. ****ED. they want ben, either to kill him or interrogate him, and they want the island back. i think the islands is tied up somehow with time and other world s parodoxies you can see this with the others not aging (others not ben) and when we saw jack's double at the end of the other season in the antarctic. great show, they got me hooked, but i think thats what lost is! its a series of mysteries and questions that never get answered , because not answering the questions IS THE SHOW!

anyone think Ben's (undercover) man on the boat could be Michael?

That's a great question, but I could see some possible issues. When did the freighter leave port? If Ben knew about the boat prior to 815 ever crashing, it's likely Ben's inside man was there from the get go. Michael's only concern was getting him and his son off of the island, so why would he continue doing work for Ben after having escaped? Still, it's not a bad theory.

^You do remember Walt is back.....so...Michael must be too.

Of course I know that, Michael being picked up by the freighter would make it possible for him to be Ben's inside man.... or maybe it's Walt? After all, as noted, Michael wanted off the island. Walt, on the other hand, did not.

So heres a discussion topic. As far as I remember, this was the first time we've ever been told on screen exactly where we were. The locations given were:

Essex, Mass

Inglewood, California

Eleuthera, The Bahamas

Medenine, Tunisia

Now, if you draw connecting lines between those, you end up in the Bermuda Triangle, off the coast of Florida. According to Google Earth, the spot is roughly at the point where the Solid Rocket Booster collection point is for a shuttle launch.

Interestingly enough, the antipodal point (exactly opposite on the earth) is just off the west coast of Australia.

I've tried to work it out in Google Earth, but how do these locations connect/intersect Bermuda?

All these spectulations are totally cool and fun, but I just hope in the end the answer/explanation lives up to it, you know? And, we not let down by a "We knew it all along, but the producers Kept denying it"...

I will say this, if by the end of the show, if indeed everything can be explained by PURE science I will declare this show the BEST SHOW EVER! :)

Did I miss "taller Walt"? I don't remember seeing him. Was he in one of the last episodes of the previous season when John was shot, laying in the pit? Was it a vision or actually Walt? One of the most annoying things for me about Lost is Michael and Walt leaving about an entire season ago and not being seen since!

He saw walt when he was "dying" but don't forget Walt is gifted so it wouldn't surprise me if projected himself on Locke to spur him on.

Uhm, if they LEFT, why would you see them?

And technically, Walt has been gone since the end of S1.

"Taller Walt" was in 'Through the Looking Glass'. Don't know how you missed it.

'Special', not gifted. What confused me was that Locke was describing Walt as it it was actually Walt. Why wouldn't Locke think that it was just the island showing him things, as had been happening to him for the entire time hes been there.

Don't forget he was briefly seen at the end of season two, when Michael finally got the boat :yes:

Right, and he has 'appeared' many other times. He was also in 'Three Minutes'. But he has been gone from the survivors since S1.

Decent thought, but if Michael was on the boat, wouldn't that convince the survivors not to go there? Since they know he killed Ana Lucia and Libby?

Doesn't prove much though. She said 'a few million years'. Dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago.

I'm confident they will tie up all the important parts.

As far as Locke asking about the smoke monster: Remember that he has 'looked into it' and also nearly been taken underground by it. There is no other single question that Ben could have answered right then and there, really. All the other questions would require an explanation.

im not liking any of the new people on the team sent to the island, they are annoying and shallow. im glad to get all of their origin stories out of the way in one episode!

Agreed, except for the pilot. I don't know why, but his story seemed much more interesting than the rest of them.

Only Richard Alpert is shown not to age. We don't know about the rest of them.

I agree that they are DHARMA.

Jack's double? Are you saying that because they looked alike? It wasn't Jack or even alluding to be him.

Dunno maybe he just believes that he is there is some way.

Unless once Locke got out it actually WAS Walt. We didn't see that happen though.

Two other tidbits:

Daniel Faraday is a reference to Michael Faraday, a physicist who studied -- you guessed it -- magnetic fields.

Charlotte Lewis was given a middle name in the episode. Staples. Charlotte Staples Lewis. Or C. S. Lewis. He wrote 'The Chronicles of Narnia' among many other things.

No idea on the other two yet. Lapidus has quite a few things it could be.

Edit: Found out it was Miles Straume. Looking now.

Here's a theory.

What if the 'man' on the boat is ....

Annie.

Never thought about that actually, people have wondered where she went.

They didn't show her dead. I would figure they would do that. She was the only person he cared about.

She must be alive - somewhere.

And it stands to reason he would send her off the island, so she wouldn't die if she got pregnant.

Yeah I wondered why they never showed that which makes you think Ben moved her away just before the purge went down.

I wish someone would leak the episodes :p

Anyone remember when that happened with Prison Break? At one point I actually think episodes were leaked a few eps later than the current :laugh: People even watched them not knowing exactly what had happened inbetween!

ps. /methinks Rappy :heart: 's Lost!

    • 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
