Lost - Season 5


Recommended Posts

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.

....

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.

Looked more like a surprised look (followed by laughter) that Locke knew about the secrets of the Island. Richard being immortal is just too easy of an explanation. I think the writers are trying make it look like hes immortal for now, but will soon explain his role in the coming episodes. Considering, Darlton apparently renting a 500 year old ship, possibily explaning the adventures on the Black Rock before and after it got on the Island. (source)

Unless, Alpert is dead like Rosso's crew was killed, and he is only a clone, just like Cristian Shepard is dead and only a clone that speaks for Jacob...

He's not dead. There would be no need for him to carry a gun at all if that were the case.

Well, I did state that I don't think Alpert is immortal: "Of course he's immortal and I don't believe that Alpert is."

Sawyer's remark about there being a subway down the well was funny :laugh:

Anyone else find it obvious a flash was going to occur with Locke halfway down and the well disappearing?

Future Daniel (after Charlotte's death) goes back to Dharma time at some point, so I'm assuming there's a fair few flashes left still, although I don't know why he told Charlotte those things while she was a child, when he knows he can't change the past?

Video Podcast (Jeremy Davies talks about his parallel interests to his character, Faraday.)

Podcast

* They're writing the finale right now.

* The 'temple' seen in 'This Place is Death' is "not necessarily the temple" and isn't where the smoke monster lives but rather his 'Camp David'. Will they be returning to that location? - "Damn straight".

* Whatever happened to Rousseau's team under the ground with monster 'altered' them. And not for the better. But there's a question about 'who went wacky first'.

* Damon and Carlton wrote the scripts for '316' and 'The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham' simultaneously and the reason the episodes were switched will become apparent once they're seen. Darlton thought it would be 'cooler' to show the original 5.07 first. This has only happened once before in the history of the show and they challenge fans to guess when, noting that it was 'way back in season one'.

* There is some information in '316' that is better to see before 'The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham'. Carlton: "I would assume we're going to find out how Locke ended up in that coffin". Damon: "Can't wait".

Questions:

Which successful cast member of Lost would you like to see become a successful cast member of 'Dancing with the Stars'?

Jorge (Hurley)

In the episode 'Jughead', when Desmond finds Theresa, is she in the same kind of 'time trance' as Eloise the rat or Minkowski?

That's a very perceptive observation. (Also hints that Theresa will appear again)

Is resurrection 'of a sort' possible for Christian? Is he something more than an image the island is using to communicate?

In '316' someone will talk about Locke's body in relation to Christian's. The word 'proxy' might be mentioned.

And thanks to The ODI for these additions.

that what we saw was ONLY the outer wall of the temple, not the temple itself...and there is little walk to the temple..

also a few of the jokes at the end had one tidbit included about juliet and ben

When answering fan questions:

13) They joke about Sun's dog because of a fan question.

14) We will hopefully learn before the show ends what "you look like her" meant during Juliet's Season 4 therapy session with Harper.

15) Joke that Season 5 is "Zombie Season" indeed

Future Daniel (after Charlotte's death) goes back to Dharma time at some point, so I'm assuming there's a fair few flashes left still,

Probably not. I think after Locke put the wheel back in its original place - the Island stopped at the 1970s timeline. Ignore the following spoiler, if you don't want to know...

From the spoilers revealed, we find Miles, Sawyer, etc in Dharma clothes. So, one can only assume they are stuck in the 1970s. We also see Jack and co. in Dharma clothes, so they arrive at the Island in its past - 1970s while DI was still on the Island.

although I don't know why he told Charlotte those things while she was a child, when he knows he can't change the past?

Plays in with the Fate vs Free Will theme.

Being stuck in the 1970's does indeed make sense!

Finally got a chance to watch this episode with my wife. It was fantastic.

Ben had to tell Locke in last season's finale that he always has a plan, and we're seeing more and more how true that is. Him turning the wheel instead of John plays quite nicely in his favor. He knows far more than what we've seen, and I think we will see that this was probably his plan all along (turning the wheel instead of Locke so that he isn't an outcast or outsider when he inevitably returns, and also to get revenge for Alex).

Man, I just can't get enough of this. So far this has been top notch for Lost, and we're not even hitting the heavy stuff yet :drool:

ok. Its Jin.

They are taking back dead characters, why not take back Mr. Eko?.

Remember him, right?

I dont think Eko will be back, maybe in flashbacks, but not on the island, we dont know how the island brings the dead back to life but assuming it is reincarnation or reanimation then i dont think the island wants to reanimate Eko seen as the Smoke monster killed him its safe to say the island wants him dead, it didnt kill Locke which is why it might allow him to be come back to life.

Don't reason with him, he always just comes into the thread and says stupid stuff about the show.

What if Ben killed Locke outside the Island, took the Jin's ring and give it to Sun?

That may have happened, but Richard told Locke that he'd have to die. We don't know if he committed suicide, someone purposely killed him or if Locke allowed someone to kill him, but either way, he's going to die/is already dead :p

Looks like Ben is the one who did then. :p

Smokey might kill him, just pitching out possibilities.

I don't see how thats possible. He dies off island.

Interesting bit of trivia from lostpedia:

This is the first episode of the entire series in which Ben and Desmond speak to each other. They had previously only been in one scene together, at the cockpit wreckage in "The Beginning of the End."

    • GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a 17% discount on its top-of-the-range X16 Pro laptop. You may remember that we reviewed the X14 Pro back in February, which marked GEEKOM's debut into the ultrathin laptop segment. You can view the full specs below. GEEKOM X16 Pro Model NX14CM Dimensions 322.58 × 213.36 × 5.8 mm (12.7"L x 8.4"W x 0.23"T) Weight 997 g / 2.2 lbs Material Unibody Magnesium Alloy CPU Intel Ultra 5 125H (14C/18T, 24MB L3, 2.3-5.1 GHz, TDP 20W) Intel Ultra 9 185H (16C/22T, 24MB L3, 2.3-4.5 GHz, TDP 35W) Graphics Intel Arc graphics 8 Xe-cores @ 2350MHz 1024 shading units/stream processors (128 CUs), 8 Raytracing Cores, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU Intel AI Boost, 11 TOPS / Up to 33 TOPS (CPU+NPU+GPU) Memory 32GB Dual-channel LPDDR5x 7467 MT/s Micron SODIMM Storage 1 x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4x4, Wodposit 1TB, 2 TB Display 16.0" IPS LCD, 2560 × 1600 (16:10) 100% sRGB, 120Hz Refresh Rate Camera 2MP 1080P 1 × Light sensor in camera module 1 × LED indicator in the camera module Windows Hello Support: No Mic 2 x Digital Mics integrated in the camera module Speakers 2 x 3813 (4Ω×2W) built in body Audio Codec: ALC269QN-VC3-GR Certificate: DTS: X Ultra Operating System Windows 11 Pro 25H2 Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.4 Wireless LAN MediaTek MT7922 M.2 Wi-Fi 6E LAN card Left I/O ports 1 x HDMI 2.0 2 x USB4 (40 Gbps) Right I/O ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5 Gbps) 1 x 3.5 mm Audio jack 1 x Camera Privacy Shutter Keyboard 78Key 1.2±0.2mm / Height 3.5±0.2mm (with backlight) White LED light in Caps Lock and Fn key Language: Default US Touch Pad Dimension: 120 x 71mm Material: Mylar Position: Middle Interface: I2C, Dualpoint button Dock Input port: 1 x Type-C 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x RJ45 1 x PD 1 x HDMI (Bio) Security Fingerprint sensor (in the power button) SD Card slot No Kensington Lock No Battery 77Wh (Input 20V, 3.25A) Power 65W PD GaN Fast Charge, USB-C to USB-C Warranty 2 years (Early Bird 1+1 Years) Deal price $1119.67 The X16 Pro is powered by the Intel Ultra 9 185H, which was released in Q4 2023 and is a 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPU designed for laptop/mobile using the Intel 4 architecture based on a 7nm process. The Ultra 9 185H features 16 cores and 22 threads running at up to 5.1 GHz. It also includes a dedicated NPU utilizing Intel AI Boost at 11 TOPS. On the graphics front, the 185H includes the still fairly capable ARC Graphics (not to be confused with the newer ARC 140T) integrated GPU with a max GPU frequency of 2350 MHz across 8 Xe-cores. It has been said that the iGPU is equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce 3050 and GTX 1650 in gaming and synthetic benchmarks. Other highlights include an AMOLED display, LPDDR5x memory at 7467 MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and a fingerprint sensor built into the power button. AI PC? Although the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H includes a dedicated NPU, it's only 11 TOPS; therefore, it does not qualify as a Copilot+ PC. However, it can reach up to 33 TOPS with a combination of NPU, CPU, and GPU. As I said, although we only reviewed the X14 Pro, the unboxing is the same for the X16 Pro, which I noted in my review. The packaging is quite a nice experience. The outer box houses the X16 Pro box with a small compartment that contains the 5-in-1 Dock ($40 value), which appears to be an "Early Bird" inclusion. Upon removing the box cover, the X16 Pro is revealed sitting in a cardboard compartment with two small booklets of documentation. To the left of the X16 Pro are two cardboard compartments containing the 65W charger and Type-C USB cable. What’s In The Box 1 x GEEKOM X16 Pro Ultra-thin Laptop 1 x Type-C to Type-C cable 1.8M 1 x 65W GaN PD Fast Charger 1 x Warranty Card 1 x Thank You Card 1 x User Guide All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product.

    • We are reached to the point that apple looks affordable and better choice than anything else, in what dystopia are we living in....
    • Ouch. $1600 for 256GB SSD / 16GB? Even Apple, the purported "target" of Surface devices for a long time, has its MacBook Air M5 at 512GB SSD / 16GB RAM for $999 MSRP. Surface will never be reasonably priced with such low volumes.
    • Sadly price is pretty in line with the other new X2 devices so far. RAM/SSD prices have ruined everything.
