Lost - Season 5


Recommended Posts

Yay smokey, only 5 episodes in and this Season looks like its going to stack up as one of the best so far. Its killing me having to wait a week before the next episode, i wish they would put out a DVD/Blu-Ray pack at the start of the season thats like double the price, id gladly pay it so i could watch without delays :(

that certainly was one pants-jizzing episode.

okay someone update me here cuz I havent seen seasons 3 or 4 although I think I kinda know what happens. jack's father being there talking to locke is supposed to be jacob right? or the island using dead people as always to say things to john. but why did he say "say hello to my son" if he wasnt indeed jack's father? unless he was refering to someone else...

and why is it ben that is doing everything that this person said?

Christian is still Christian. He was just 'chosen' by Jacob to speak for him and do what he needs done. He isn't Jacob, he just speaks for him.

and why is it ben that is doing everything that this person said?

What person? Christian? He has never spoken to Christian.

Rebecca Mader Confirms Death

How did the producers break it to you that Charlotte was going to die?

I've known since June of '08, because that's when we negotiate contracts between seasons. Originally when I started on the show in August 2007, I was only supposed to do eight episodes. I ended up doing 20. I was on the show a lot longer than I thought I was going to be. A lot of it has to do with the writers strike. Less episodes in Season 4 meant back stories were compromised for the new people. I think that's why my character carried into Season 5.

And how did you take it?

I was disappointed when I found out. When I got to the end of Season 4 and found out Charlotte had been born on the island, that was huge. So when I found out I was leaving, I was disappointed. Like all things, it's for the best.

How much did they tell you about Charlotte initially?

When I first got the job, I was told nothing about my character. She's an anthropologist and she's tough; she's a female Indiana Jones. That's what I went into the show knowing. That's all I knew all of Season 4, until the very end, when I learned I was originally from the island. I was on a break reading my script, and I said, "Bloody hell!"

It seems like the actors spend a lot of time just walking across the island. True?

[Lots of laughter] Traipsing. It's a lot of traipsing. You have to do it a lot of times. First you walk up the hill, then you go down the hill, then you go back up the hill. By the end of the day, you don't want to be on the hill anymore.

So many people who "die" on the show keep showing up. What's your sense of how likely you are to return?

I may end up coming back in Season 6. Some people say, "You'll be back!" If I'm not, never mind. If they turn around and ask me to come back, I'd be happy to do it.

Fans spend so much time obsessing over the clues on this show. How much time do the actors who make the show spend thinking over the creation of those clues?

[Laughter] I have to be careful how I answer this. I think they're more concerned by what's for lunch.

Episode 5.13 - Some Like it Hoth

Episode 5.14 - The Variable

I wonder how Lost was suppose to turn out if it wasn't for the writer's strike... completely different story, different ending.

The executive producers have stated that they've known the ending for some time. I think since the beginning of Season Two. So the ending is probably still the same. But the stories could have changed. Obviously, they have changed to a degree. If she was only suppose to be on for eight episodes, it is probably safe to assume the original story didn't have Daniel in love with Charlotte. It probably wouldn't have felt as powerful, her dying that is, if she had died only after eight episodes.

So yeah, some stories have changed, but for the most part, the overall storyline hasn't I'd imagine.

Hopefully, maybe, on the sixth season blu-ray discs, they'll have a story featurette and tell us what major changes they did along the way.

Episode 5.13 - Some Like It Hoth

- Leading up to 5.13 Faraday has gone "missing" after exploring the Orchid amongst other things

- In 5.13 he reappears and is seen by Miles

- It's a pretty big reveal, as Daniel's whereabouts and activities have been missing for a while

- We some some some experimental stuff being taken from the Sub

- We see Radzinky and some Dharma Scientists in black uniforms along with Pierre Chang

- Daniel has been busy with something and is the setup for something big to happen

Episode 5.14 - The Variable

- This episode (still in draft production) is a direct follow up from The Constant

- It continues with Desmond's and Daniels adventures

- We get more info on why Daniels notebook statement "Desmond is my Constant"

- This episode starts filming in about 10 days

- The early planning of this episode may explain why Desmond left the army

Another possible theory...

The Black Rock's steering wheel (ship) is the "Donkey Wheel". This can be supported by the lantern used by Locke in the Black Rock and the lantern used by both Ben and Christian down in the Orchid, which appear to be the same models. This might also add to Alpert's longevity. If one of the Black Rock's crew, Alpert, figured out the way survive by traveling back and forth in his original timeline - around the mid 1800s. It would explain why he doesn't age. I just don't buy the notion that Alpert is immortal.

Well... this episode... the temple... Egyptian hieroglyphs ... Richard Alpert and his pharaoh eyes ... makes you wonder

Stargate! heh...

But seriously, makes you think, if his looks (natural eyes) have something to do with his role and didn't Ben got teleported somehow to Egypt?

This ep was win, Supports my thoeries nicely ^-^ only thing that supprised me was Christian Shepard being down by the "Donkey wheel" (We got a real name for it yet ? :p) I thought it would of been richard, I had a tear in my eye when charlotte was dying and faraday was next to her :(

Richard doesn't know about time travel. Or at least when Locke brought it up, Alpert looked very confused about what Locke was saying. I don't think that is it.

I like the theory that he doesn't age because he's one of the island's original inhabitants and they once they reach a certain age, they stop aging. Sort of like Adam Monroe from Heroes, where he stopped aging after so many years. Of course he's immortal and I don't believe that Alpert is.

It is also possible that Alpert is still needed by the island, or Jacob and that's why he doesn't age. The island still needs him for things (like Michael and Locke being kept alive).

But I don't buy that Alpert has been time traveling, not with the confused look on his face when Locke mentioned he was from the future.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
