i think he lied when he said that. a good example for that is when Daniel Faraday told Sawyer that nothing he would say to Desmond would change anything, but after Sawyer left he did exactly that.

Ah but he didn't change the past. Desmond didn't remember it until the future so nothing in the past was changed.

But surely, as Desmond is Daniel's constant, Daniel would have had to speak with Desmond in the Past, so by doing so outside the station, he is simply keeping to the timeline.

How could Desmond have been Daniel's constant if the two had never met previously?

Actually if you go back and watch, he it didn't hit him to talk to Desmond until after Charlotte's nose started bleeding. Her nosebleed made him think about something. Maybe the fact that Desmond is a the wild card.

isn't the fact that someone from the future talks with someone from the past changes the past? (and the future)

Not really. Again, Desmond being the wild card here allows manipulation because Desmond's mind is already spinning through time (or has anyway).

Listen carefully what Faraday is saying to Desmond, in terms of why he believes this information he’s telling Desmond is going to transfer.

Finally, something happened to Desmond way back at the end of the second season of the show, something incredibly significant. Which imbues him with a certain power, for lack of a better word, that nobody else on the show has, and that was demonstrated regularly throughout Season 3, in terms of what happened to him at the end of Season 2. This makes him a bit of a wild card.

What we would advise you, and the fans whose heads are hurting, is to say, if you apply common sense rules to Desmond’s memory and cognition as it moves through the show, you will drive yourself crazy. But if you fundamentally accept that his consciousness can bop around in time, and where it lands is more an aggregate of destiny rather than logic, you will be able to sleep a lot better.

I imagine that they apply to a certain degree. But how much, I have no idea. I imagine, or at least hope, they answer the time travel questions. There has to be some sort of paradox. Limits to what he can and cannot do.

Technically speaking, Faraday never stated that they couldn't change events in the timeline, but my guess is, he was telling them no because if they did change the events, it might have changed the future so much that they would be caught in some kind of grandfather paradox that they couldn't escape and would just be lost in time.

Actually that sort of reminds me of a Stephen King film, The Langoliers, where a group of people are flying on a plane and get caught in a time rip. They find out that these creatures called langoliers are what eats the past to make room for the present and the coming present. If something were to happen that changed the events, the survivors may end up stuck in the past.

Lost certainly has a lot of tie-ins with Stephen King novels, so there's an idea for you. NOTE: I'm not suggesting that langoliers will be introduced, I'm suggesting that the survivors might be caught in the past if they were to tamper with the timeline.)

Hi,

- Did anyone make the connection between the military guys and Godwin ? In the 2nd season, while he was talking to Ana Lucia (he was sent by Ben to infiltrate the "Tailies"), she made a remark about his knife. She asked him why did he own a military knife. Could lead to something ...

Yeah I was thinking that when I watched it, wasn't a WW2 knife?

"The Other 48 Days" Ana Lucia finds an US Army knife on one of The Others. She believes it to be around 20 years old. This knife resembled a knife owned by Kelvin Inman.

Season 5 has started pretty well.

Although I preferred Lost when the plot wasn't so wacky - Of course it's always been high in fantasy, but it had an underlying level of normality. Things are all just a bit crazy now.

I'm gonna keep watching though to see how they tie it altogether.

If that is true, biggest spoiler of the season so far! 2030!!

Reckon that will pull off?

Dunno it might make people leave the series, I mean that time jump is just massive but it could happen with all these time jumps

Apparently there is only 2 pages of script, so that isn't much, don't think it will make people leave the show, must be relevant to storyline somehow to include a powerful scene like this

ABC Switches Episodes

Thanks to Nathan for the heads up which appears to suggest that ABC have switched Episodes 5.06 and 5.07 around giving us this new schedule. So it appears that we'll be seeing the Locke's death a week later and possibly the O6 returning a week earlier.

This is quite rare for Lost to switch episodes which means that Episodes 5.06 and 5.07 must be fairly self-contained story wise? Did ABC put pressure on Darlton to get the O6 back on the island quicker?

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      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.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
