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

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.

      I lived and breathed MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger. Going to the mess.be website (still online with no changes since 2013) to download display pictures etc. I was a beta tester for Messenger Plus! and spent quite a lot of time on the MsgPlus! forums (a read-only copy is still online at https://shoutbox.menthix.net) Some old Neowin articles also https://www.neowin.net/news/messenger-plus-350/ good times but how time flies

      Well i'll look into a docking station if needed and use that.    Normally i don't usually have all the drives connected at once,  usually once a month to sync the latest files, and then they go back in there storage area
