Why did the raft not disappear when they moved through time? Everything else has left, and I expected them to lose the raft and be forced to swim back to the island.

They take objects with them, like Locke did with the compass.

I had forgotten about this, but I bet it was the O6++ shooting at the survivors from the other canoe.

Wouldn't that mean they had gone into the future?

If that's true, wouldn't this be the first time for the survivors going into the future? I guess I was under the impression they couldn't go to a part of the string (time line) that hadn't happened yet.

It was obviously the future. Abandoned camp ... with stuff that wasn't there before. Zodiac was gone.

The Ajira water bottle is dead giveaway.

Also, the second shift was into the future.

But that doesn't make any sense with the string analogy that Faraday has used (I think it was him anyway). If the string represents time, you can only travel on a part of the string that has been created already. The future hasn't been created, so there's no string to travel on.

Maybe I'm just over thinking it. :/

Ooooo, I love that theory of them being in the future, but why would they shoot at them? I'm thinking people for Charles Whidmore.

I originally entertained thoughts of the survivors shooting at themselves, but I couldn't think of a good reason why they would do that.

So it has to be the Oceanic Six+.

You are. All he meant was that you can't deviate from the path. The future is already written on the string, you can't do anything to move from the path.

Remember, the universe has a way of course-correcting.

You not thought its another plane that has crashed? and they just raided the camp? or is that thinking outside the box.

It could be another plane crash ... I think '316' refers to the O6+'s flight number. But they didn't 'raid' the camp. There was no signs of a struggle, there just wasn't anyone there.

It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. We're in 2008 with the O6, so the island could go that far into the future, if not further. Fate can't be changed; Desmond saw Charlie dying, which was the future and shouldn't have happened yet, so it's possible that the future is already written? There's not enough info yet to make that determination, but being in the future with the canoes makes the most sense at this point (the when is a big Q though).

See that's my problem. I have a hard time believing the future is already written. Now we're getting into Matrix territory: "You've already made the choice. Now you have to understand it."

Because they stole their canoe?

That still doesn't make sense. It isn't like the O6 forgot who was on the island :blink: They have to be under the assumption that it could be their own survivors.

Its already written in the Lost story that they all have their parts to play, and their destinies.

Fate, destiny, future already written ... its all the same.

That still doesn't make sense. It isn't like the O6 forgot who was on the island :blink: They have to be under the assumption that it could be their own survivors.

And they also have to assume that it might not be. The Others are not the threat they were anymore. And the Others wouldn't shoot at the canoe with Locke in it. So that leaves the O6, the survivors themselves, or another unknown group. And I think we're a little late in the story for more unknowns like that.

Yeah true, I just think maybe Ajira is important, it was a major ARG in the summer so they have to be involved somewhere.

So if you were in that canoe shooting and you were part of the O6, you'd be willing to risk shooting one of your friends that you're trying to save because it might be the Others?

Grant it, with Lost it could be almost anything, but that just doesn't make sense.

Side note though: I'll give you that about the time thing. Lost does have a lot of fate, destiny elements to it. But I still don't like it. Guess I'm not going to agree with the Lost writers on everything though :p

    • 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.

      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.
