Lost - Season 5


Recommended Posts

Did anyone notice the name of the place in the church? The Lamppost. Is that a reference to The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe? The Lamppost was how the children found their way in and out of Narnia.

Yep its a great reference.

EDIT: Walt is in episode 7, just saw the set list. Could he be involved in some way?

In "There's No Place Like Home: Part 2" from Season 4, Walt told Hurley that Locke came to see him. So, we are going to see all of Locke's visits with the O6 and Ben. Perhaps, even Helen and obviously Widmore from the preview.

Great episode :p Back to great witty comments from Ben "How can you read?" "My mother taught me :) "

What's even funnier about this is that Ben's mom died during child birth. Even for simple, small things this guy lies :p

I'm even more confused/angry at the show now. If the losties who wanted to return to the island (Jack, Sun, Kate etc.) but had to use the aeroplane method to get there, then how did the military guys get there via cargo ship and helicopter, I mean the island is constantly moving, right?

:/

Maybe the island was some how anchored down for a period of time.

Maybe, the only other theory is that Ben triggered the island to go crazy and move everywhere, then Locke proceeded to halt it again, but that would go against Faraday's mother and ''the island is always moving''.

I think what Ellie meant by saying, "the Island is always moving, then subsequently saying, “that’s why no one could rescue you” was because of Desmond.

As Desmond/Kevin/Radzinsky kept pushing the button every 108 minutes, it caused these ‘movements’. After Desmond stopped, the 815 crashed, after he resumed and the Losties resumed pushing the button, they were continuing the movement of the Island.

Once Desmond blew up the Swan, I believe Ellie or Widmore used the Lamppost to send in the freighter and Penny used another electromagnetic area either in North or South pole to send in her boat, which came much later than the freighter. At the same time, Desmond started seeing the flashes and eventually the arrival of Naomi and the freighter.

So, the Swan was responsible for the Island always moving. Evidently, after its destruction that all these rescues started happening.

The problem I have with this theory is that the button was put there long after the island was moving around.

Yeah, I agree. Perhaps, it will be explained by the "Incident" at the Swan in one of the upcoming episodes.

Though, it could have been some naturally occurring discharge caused on the Island that later Dharma started controlling.

edit: Actually, I think that theory is true.

Ellie saying that the Island is always moving could just mean because of what Dharma did. From late 1960s to early 1970s, they could have already started pushing the button, constantly stabilizing the discharge ever since. Before that, who would have bothered looking for the Island? Aside from the people involved with the Lamppost.

And thats why they were told they were 'saving the world'. Good theory.

Its possible the island 'moves' without the button being pressed, just at slower rate. That would explain why it was never simple to get there, but not impossible. Would also explain how the Kahana could find it after the Swan was destroyed.

Another clue that supports the theory of Ben killing Penny: He called Jack from a pier; and of course Penny was living on a boat. Desmond must have managed to injure him in the process.

It would certainly give Desmond a reason to come after Ben i.e the island.

I thought of that, but sailing from England to LA in one day is impossible. If Des and Penny are on their boat, thats a huge continuity error.

I think it has something to do with Des/Penny, but I would think its more likely that Ben and Desmond got into a fight over Ben trying to get Penny's location.

    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
