  • US Army used the submarine to test/transport the nuke, and "stumbled upon" that special coordinate to come in/out of the Island's snow-globe field.
  • After they all died in 1954, Richard Alpert and the Others started using the submarine to come and go from the Island with that special coordinate already logged in the submarine.

I guess we need more hints as to which way to go. Both theories seem plausible.

DHARMA brought the sub to the island, not the US military.

Bah, true. Forgot about that...

So, the question still stands, how did the US military bring the nuke? The US used subs to transport missiles like that. Perhaps Dharma took back the sub? They did have constant skirmishes with the natives, i.e. the Others.

The Galaga was far too small to transport a bomb the size of Jughead.

What if the island wasnt moving to begin with, the US Army found it and tried to do tests on the island, the natives then killed the army and started moving the island about, Dharma found out about the Army which then built the lamppost, etc..

Back to that post a dozen pages back about how Lost has lost it's step.

My aunt & uncle can relate to that. Only because they have a hard time keeping up with the show now. Not to say they are dumb, but they just can't fully understand & piece everything together. Especially when the time travel aspect of the show was introduce this season. So I can understand where they're coming from if they don't understand too much about science or the time travel idea. So maybe that's why many average viewers stop watching. Because it's getting too confusing for them?

I still love watching Lost, but to me anything that has to do with time travel will take away any realistic of the show (not like Lost was anything but sci-fi). But with time travel now, anything is possible. Too many conflicts & paradox to be considered & can't be ignore.

Just my opinion, but I'll continue to watch the show.

The writers of Lost are trying to avoid any paradox's that time travel does introduce; so far I don't believe we've encountered any. Cuse and Lindelof specifically mentioned Heroes in this regard, pointing out future Hiro meeting past Hiro if memory serves me correctly.

Well it's not like the show has poor writing like heroes where there are nothing but plot holes and **** made up on the spot :p

QTF. I stopped watching Heroes this season. It's getting pretty dumb & my life is busy as it is.

I know. But questions like "Why do they jump into this time & not another?" or "How are they able to jump into this time into exact?" Stuff like that. Who's controlling & setting the time they appear in?

Anyone think after the final series they'll have a few "clean up" episodes which whizz through the series and show us how things linked to the final conclusion?

I believe in the show's finale, it'll show the character's finale renunion & the conclusion on how they get back to their life & continue from there. Or maybe a last cliff hanger that would leave us wanting more Lost? :p

Quick comment about the island keep on moving. What's prohibiting the island from popping up next to the coast of NY or on top of California. :p

It probably teleports to open places where pockets of energy exist, like the island may be prohibited from physically moving to the spot in Los Angeles because there is already a body mass there, whereas it can move to open seas. It's a bit of a stretch, but I don't think it will just appear anywhere. There could be some "rules" in place for this. Hopefully they'll expound on the rules soon.

There is a Break!

As we reported at the start of the season our sources kept telling us that there would be a break this season, however info coming from ABC and other outlets said there were no breaks. Well it appears now that on the 11th March we will be getting a repeat of the 4th of March Episode LaFleur. I can only assume that this will be just a 1 week break and then on 18th March we resume with Episode 5.09 - Namaste.

I just checked the local TV listings and it shows two episodes of LOST. I missed the previous one so this is good news for me. I don't think I've ever enjoyed two servings of LOST. What if I can't finish it all? :o

    • what other retro software do yall use

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛

      At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
