Lost - Season 5


Recommended Posts

Great! Damon indirectly just proved all of our theory on the time issue and Carlton confirmed it by avoiding it due revealing too much information. hap.gif

Ajira people, Locke, Sun, and Lapidus are in the time line with Alpert + Others (who are in the temple) in 2009. Hurley, Jack, Kate and probably Sayid are in the 1970s. Next weeks episode, La Fleur, is going to be freaking awesome.

But Ben isn't the villain. Widmore is.

Ben just uses any means necessary to achieve his goals.

That's what they want us to believe :D

First he was THE villain, then he's not. Oh wait, maybe he's STILL the villain. This is Lost, I don't know who's what anymore...

'Widmore is the "big bad" of the show'

Either Lindelof or Cuse said it.

I listened to the latest audio podcast today (I've never listened to one before, was procrastinating from essay work). They seemed the be hinting that Ben might be the greater villain, which honestly I hadn't really considered too much but after todays episode I am starting to think that might be the case.

I guess we're all just as clueless as Locke..

Perhaps it WAS Desmond who beat up Ben, not in defending Penny, but Ms. Hawking. I think it's been determined that Penny's boat could not have made the trip from Great Britain to California in that short of time, but *somebody* has a boat at the marina, since that is where the group has met before - maybe it's Ms. Hawking.

Since his conversation with Locke, Ben knows there is a connection between Widmore and Hawking. Killing Hawking, and possibly destroying the Lamp Post, would hurt Widmore's chances of finding the Island again.

Maybe after Desmond left the Lamp Post the first time, he returned to get a further explaination from Hawking, and she told him to meet her at her boat for some reason. Ben arrrived at her boat shortly before Desmond and attempted to kill her.

One of the questions I have is why Daniel thought Ms. Hawking was still at Oxford. I guess this is explained by the fact that he went on the mission in 2004, and might not know of their banishment from Oxford.

Theres no indication of how much time has passed between oxford and them arriving in california theres no reason why Ms Hawking would ask to meet at the port im assuming she lives at the lamppost, why would Ben try to harm Ms Hawking shes the only person who could get them back to the island, the only people that would be at port is Desmond and Penny.

*edit* Just tried to work it out, im not sure how fast Pennys boat goes but at 10 knots even at linear distance thats not including having to sail round landmass its like 5000 miles that would take over a month.

It cant be Penny and Desmond then, maybe he took a flight from London.

Thats odd who could it be at the port then.

Whatever got Ben those injuries, it certainly has nothing to do with Penny/Desmond (as Desmond didn't make it to the plane). Giving the fact that Sayid was in handcuffs (and escorted by a police officer), I assume Ben had him fooled to beat him or something, so he got in trouble with the law... etc

Trivial aside: Ben must have wrote Locke's "suicide note" & made sure it "reappeared" in Jack's hands to steadily influence him towards the "faith side".

Boy, I really like the show/series.

Locke wrote his suicide note before starting the attempt.

Once Ben got the info about Ajira Flight 316, Hawking was no longer needed by Ben - he was going to take that flight.

Jill(?), at the butcher shop mentioned somebody that I don't believe we've seen, perhaps it's their boat (or Jill's, for that matter). Maybe Ben went on a killing spree before he took off - not knowing how many of *his* people were actually working for Widmore.

I hope not, but, yeah, Penny would be a primary target for Ben, and she did indicate she would be going with Desmond to L.A. - she could be a goner. For drama, that would be perfect.

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

I would be seriously ****ed off if they end Lost with a cliffhanger.

And I dont buy the theory that Ben's act of murdering Locke was a knee-jerk reaction to Locke knowing about Hawkings. Ben always has a plan and rarely does anything impulsively. Plus, him having gloves and cleaner further suggest that he always intended to murder Locke.

For some reason he didn't want Locke to commit suicide. May be that would have prevented from coming back as if he had committed suicide he would have been reduced to a complete failure (from being someone very special).

    • Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky      
    • Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • 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
