I consider myself a average Lost fan. I just watch the show for kicks, don't even consider myself as a fan but I do catch every episode.

But I'm completely lost here. It's really confusing when the show goes 3 years ahead, 3 years back, 10 years back, etc...

Can't imagine what other people are going through lolz.

But yeah, great show!

The problem with Time Travel, as far as our technology does NOT know everything, is that they can write it however they want!

The writers could write as they go. A plot hole? "No problem, we'll just use Time Travel to fix it"

There is really NO rule to Time Travel, you know?

They still make a great show though.

I LOVE Time Travel/Sci-Fi stuff whether or not we know it's truth!

I'm confused.

We're literally meant to believe that when they crashed back onto the Island: Locke stayed in the present with the flight crew and Kate/Hurley/Jack went back into the 1970's?

I mean...really?

As opposed to smoke monsters, people who die then come back to life, people who apaprently dont age??? :p

We don't know but remember Ben said once he turns that wheel he won't be able to return, remember Locke has done that now too. Perhaps this is what they meant by not returning.

I am sure it will get explained as this is one of the few shows i believe will give us a massive pay off in the end.

Nobody wondering how Jin was able to use his magic cellphone in the middle of the jungle to call swayer?

Not really, Jin worked in security so its safe to assume he was watching the islands CCTV cameras like the guys at the start which would also have a phone, he could have then gone to pick them up in the van.........

I think Ben just lied to Locke so he could get off the island and kill Penny, it proves it because both Ben and Locke returned, and both of them turned the wheel

Plus, there was nothing showing that it was 'in the middle of the jungle'? He could have stopped at a station to make the call.

This show is absolutely awesome and insane!! My brain hurts from trying to keep up with all this, but it's starting to piece together nicely and we'll have most, if not all the answers by the time it's over with. One thing I am fairly certain about is that statue. After reading this thread, it is clear that the statue is supposed to represent either Horus or Anubis. I'm leaning towards Horus. The fact that the hieroglyph for Horus is the exact same thing we saw on the countdown timer in the hatch is no coincidence. Plus, as someone also mentioned, that "ankh" that Paul had around his neck is also held by both. If you're still not convinced, how about the fact that there is a character named Horace! Isn't Horus pronounced Horace? If so, I think that's the writers dropping a hint. If not, it's still very close and still a hint. Maybe someone can correct me on that, cause I'm not exactly sure of the pronunciation.

I also think that the statue may not be of Horus, but a person that the inhabitants of the island perceive to be their Horus. Someone perhaps wearing the Horus garb. Reading up on this stuff, there's a lot of parallels between Horus and Jesus. There's a character on Lost that has a lot of parallels to both as well. A savior if you will. Someone that's special. Someone that the island healed upon arriving. Someone that is always one step ahead of everyone, feels at home and never wanted to leave. Someone that got the feeling that he's been there before and is now found. I think you see where I'm going with this.

Mancode, the biggest flaw with saying that its Horus is that the hieroglyphs were said by Cuse/Lindelof to be translated to 'underworld'. Anubis, as we know, rules the underworld.

Yeah though from the back the statue didn't look like anubis but we need to see the front unless Cuse/Lindelof confirm what the statue was on the podcast.

I dunno, I think it looks like Anubis from the back ...

Horus, I guess, wears some gigantic crown-ish thing, which the statue doesn't seem to have.

Maybe so, but then why the falcon hieroglyph? It can't be a coincidence that the hieroglyph for Horus, which is the falcon, is the same one that was shown in the hatch on that countdown timer! I think it's more likely that Cuse/Lindelof are not fully telling the truth. They don't want to give everything away. I'm sure they've misled us in the past. No Lost pun intended. Maybe the statue is of Anubis, and the hieroglyph represented Horus. Ya never know with this show, which just makes it even more amazing!

They are up, just a little back, but you're right.

Its closer to Anubis than Horus, though, because Horus isn't even shown with ears at all.

I think it might actually be a statue of Richard.

Right, but when you put the hieroglyphs together, they become other things. Its a series of 5 glyphs (or 3+2). While the falcon symbol (which isn't quite the same as the one on the timer) may stand for Horus by itself, with an arrow with it, it means something else.

Edit: According to http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Hieroglyphs, which takes its source as Rachel Blake's blog, which was part of The Lost Experience, and therefore is canon, the 'bird' on the countdown timer is a vulture, not a falcon.

I am waiting for the podcast but the spoilerphobes...

Whats to Come!

Lost is moving again?going back even further into the past to explore a terrible incident that changed the course of the Island (and its people) forever. When Lost returns in two weeks, the charming and talented young actor Sterling Beaumon (the kid's 14 and he's recording an album) reprises his role as "young Ben" for what will be a four-episode character arc.

Sterling tells us exclusively that the story is "very major, and it's going to change Ben forever." Sterling, as per usual for Lost castmembers, is sworn to secrecy about exactly what happens but he says this very major thing "involves himself and yes, it is a trauma?Before the change Ben's a nice, good kid?and then one second will change his life forever."

According to Sterling, over the course of this arc, "Ben will [come to] know everything about every little bit about the Island. We're not going to learn more about the past with Dharma, we're going to learn more about the past of the Island." Say it with me people: Holler!

    • The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months by Sayan Sen Yesterday, we covered a really good deal wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for a low price of just $400 with a special discount coupon. That's just $100 per TB, making it a very good offer during these hard times. The deal is still live, so you can check it out in its dedicated article here if you do not want to miss out. Meanwhile, if you don't have that kind of budget but still wish to buy an SSD for a good price, the 2TB variant of the TeamGroup SSD at $280 its lowest price in over three months. Meanwhile, those seeking 2TB but faster performance can check out Samsung's 990 PRO, which has hit the lowest price also in the last quarter or so, as it's on sale for $370 (purchase links under the specs table down below). Thus, you want a faster drive, get the 990 Pro, or you want more capacity, grab the TeamGroup 4TB linked in the first para. The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By FloatingFatMan · Posted

      And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault

      By sphbecker · Posted

      "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
