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. . .

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.

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)?

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.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Useful to know, thanks!
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
