Lost - Season 5


Recommended Posts

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!

    • I just looked on my computer and there are settings and log files for utilities I have never even turned on!
    • O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 by Razvan Serea O&O ShutUp10 offers a simple yet effective way to take control of your Windows privacy. It provides access to almost 50 privacy-related tweaks, most of them hidden or not easily accessible to the average computer users. Using a very simple interface, you decide how Windows 10/11 should respect your privacy by deciding which unwanted functions should be deactivated. Using ShutUp10 you can easily disable Windows Defender, turn off telemetry, disable peer-to-peer updates, turn off Wi-Fi Sense, disable automatic Windows updates, turn off and reset Cortana and more. ShutUp10 allows you to create a System Restore point before you apply any changes, so that you can revert your system at any time if you run into problems. O&O ShutUp10 is entirely free and does not have to be installed – it can be simply run directly and immediately on your PC. And it will not install or download retrospectively unwanted or unnecessary software, like so many other programs do these days! O&O ShutUp10 Free and Premium The latest version brings O&O ShutUp10 Premium, expanding the app’s long-standing privacy controls with automatic enforcement of user-defined settings. Instead of manually rechecking options after every Windows update, users can set their preferred privacy configuration once—or apply recommended settings in a single click—and the tool continuously monitors them in the background. If Windows 10 or 11 re-enables disabled features or introduces new data collection paths, Premium restores the chosen settings automatically without user intervention. The free version remains available and fully functional for manual adjustments, offering the same core privacy controls for Windows. However, the Premium tier is aimed at users who want long-term, hands-off protection, adding automatic reapplication after updates, ongoing monitoring, and optional notifications to ensure privacy settings remain consistent over time.

    • Fascinating...W h i t e P o w e r is now also asterisks out.  
    • In the past few days I have noticed two odd moderation activities. First, when I posted the term 'White Nationist Christian' it was asterisk's out. When I changed it to **** it was allowed! Second, in the Politics is a ###business thread I was allowed to post that the GOP is a party of p e d ophiles but I was censored  when I posted the GOP are a party of p e d ophile protectors. Wtf Neowin. Please explain.
