Lost - Season 5


Recommended Posts

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.

Good, bvecause I want to know more about the DI and what the hell it is? why they're there? do they know what the island is? how come they left? why they were watching the hatch? So many questions. . .

Haven't had time to read up on the last pages but what an episode! Best episode of the season so far, there was so much to take in from that episode. Christian, Charlotte being born on the island and smokey!

Your questions have already been touched on if not fully answered already by the plot and/or interviews with the writers. Have a quick read over here: http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/DHARMA_Initiative

Indeed, one great episode.

One thing that I fail at getting right: The O6 have been off the Island for 3 years now. Back at the Island, it seems not so much time have passed (Jin just made it to the Island). Anyone to shed some light on this one ?

Their bodies are what they are in early 2005, but at some point the island will be in 2008 at some location because the O6 get back, somehow. Theoretically, they'll skip those three years if or when the island moves/shifts to 2008.

That I get. What I mean is, if the O6 have been off the Island for 3 years time period, why hasn't the ones on the Island experienced the same "period of time", regardless of the date ? :/

Well because they're skipping around in time, so they could easily speak 3 years out or go back 3 years with no "period of time". I think John turning the wheel must of landed him in 2007.

uhmm.....

Even if they are traveling back and forth through time, they are still living in their present, hence living their lives in the future of the present. Present being whatever time they jump into. So, I think once the Island stopped in the 1970s - those people who are from the future (Sawyer, Miles, etc.) live 3 years of their life on the Island with Dharma folk in the 70s (possibly as Dharma workers and/or Hostiles).

From what we know now, I think the time jumping part took approx. ~ 1 week from the 3 years the O6 + Ben have been living. So, when Locke jumps back to original timeline, he probably lives out his life in those 2-3 years with the O6 + Ben before they all go back to the Island in 1970s.

Though I could be wrong on this. There is a 31 minute differences between the Island's snow-globe region and rest of the Earth. So, this may play into the slower time of the people on the Island in comparison to the O6 + Ben, etc. I think with next week's episode, things might get a bit clearer with regards to the timelines.

Episode 6 Sneak Peak 1 and Sneak Peak 2

All I can say is the next episode is going to be so good, and where is Aaron :s was he taken or something. Also so Dharma used The Lamp Post station (off island) to find the island

Yeah loving the new name of the station and the logo!

Jin Spills Some Upcoming Stuff!

The "smoke monster" has plagued our castaways since the show began, and is famous for having killed Mr. Eko. Producer Damon Lindelof has called it "one of the biggest secrets."

Not only will viewers get to see its lair, but Kim says the monster is "as old as the island."

In regards to the atomic bomb that was recently discovered on the island, Kim suggests that we'll find more about that as the series wraps up.

"That's a huge red herring if it's a red herring," he said. Nothing is ever just a coincidence on this island, so we'll be seeing the bomb again.

Last but definitely not least, Kim also said that viewers shouldn't get too worked up over a reunion of Jin and his wife Sun (played by Yunjin Kim) just yet. Fans only recently found out that Jin had survived the freighter explosion, and even Sun thinks he is dead.

Though Sun will return to the island, Kim said the events don't mean "they're particularly in the same place or chronologically in the same time."

Next episode is shaping up to be one of the best of the season from promos and screencaps. I hope when the O6 return back to the island we get to see heaps of Dharma and presumably we will if they are stuck in the 1970's. Just to clear something up, at the end of the previous episode where they show the Frozen Donkey Wheel and it is turning flashing green light behind it, it is dislodged and spinning out of control causing the time to skip to rapidly and once Locke puts it back in place it will be fixed though in a random time zone (presumably 1970)?

Yeah I am looking forward to the dharma episodes!

Well considering the events that *just* occurred on the island (as we see it) are of the "real" timeline, Jin after the explosion of the boat and wreckage was at the "real" timeline, hence Rousseau meeting Jin (in the past) are events on the "real" alternate timeline. Rousseau wouldn't have recognized Jin before because it was from the "different" timeline, so shouldn't Rousseau only recognize Jin starting from *now* meaning at the "real" timeline, but she would suddenly remember meeting Jin from her memories, where as when she saw him previously it would not have occured.

No, that be a mistake thinking of a parallel/alternate/different timeline occurring. By your reasoning, after Ethan shot Locke, then next flash (next alternate timeline), Alpert shouldn't have been able to know that event occurred.

Just two more days until we get some clarity on the time travel issue.

    • KillerPDF 1.5.1 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.5.1 changelog: Performance Save Flattened PDF now uses multiple CPU cores. Page rasterization is parallelized (PNG encoding runs across cores; the PDFium render step stays serialized since the library isn't thread-safe), so large documents flatten significantly faster while the UI stays responsive (#68). Fixed PDFs that failed to open with "Unexpected EOF" now open (#72). The failure was PdfSharpCore's Flate inflater (SharpZipLib) rejecting the FlateDecode cross-reference stream on multi-revision PDFs - files that open fine in browsers, Acrobat, and Foxit. KillerPDF now detects this and re-opens the file losslessly through PDFium, preserving selectable text. Thanks to @javajon for the report and a detailed reproduction. Grid view renders every page. It was capped at the first 26 pages, so longer documents stopped loading partway through. Tiles also stream in progressively now instead of blocking until the whole document is rendered. Grid Ctrl+Scroll no longer reloads every page when the zoom is already at its limit and nothing would change. Removed a stray horizontal scrollbar (a thin green line) that could appear across the bottom of grid view. Files on UNC / network shares (including the WSL \\wsl$ filesystem) are copied locally before opening, avoiding partial-read failures on network filesystems. Changed Minimum zoom lowered from 10% to 5%, so grid view can pack more columns (helpful for wide/landscape pages) and single-page view can zoom out further.
