Lost - Season 5


Recommended Posts

Oh. My. God.

The whole scene with the Sawyer-Jack conversation was filled with awesome.

That was some sweet revenge :D

And Ben has always known Sayid ... very interesting. If he knows Sayid was in the 70s, he must at least recognize the others from there too ... can't wait for the Ben episode/episodes to show us exactly what he knows.

Faraday is 'gone'? So I guess he's the death.

I suppose that's what got him through the torture Sayid was giving him back in the Swan. I'm thinking Faraday jumped the Island in 1977, causing the plane from Ajira to come.

Freaking awesome episode (Y) Next week, Sayid becomes the 'evil' person o.o

I don't know, I wasn't really impressed with this episode. Not bad, just not as exciting as the previous couple of episodes. Maybe it was the fact I wanted Locke and we didn't see him at all lol

Really? I thought it was a 15/10.

Probably for the same reason you didn't like it. I've seen Locke do the same things 10 times now, it was alright to see an episode completely without him.

That said, I didn't like Kate, Jack, and Hurley being in the recruitment picture. That would say to me that all of the Others knew that they would go back in time, and since they believe in 'The Island', why would they ever do anything to try and change that?

Caesar and Ilana don't know each other. I thought for sure they would, and be working for Widmore. Maybe they both work for him but were never introduced.

Him turning the wheel makes sense. It would explain the hieroglyphs on his map. He would also want to leave in order to save Charlotte, even though he should know that he can't do it.

Oh, and Christian is a busy man it seems like. Showing up to everybody now. I wonder what Claire has been doing from 2005 to 2008 all by herself. Same with Rose and Bernard. Dying in the caves in the past maybe?

Edited by episode

I thought that episode was full of win! probably because we saw the creation of the Swan! and the obvious thoughts of where its being put (jughead anyone?). Radzinksy actually looks like how I imagined him, so how do we get from there to him blowing his brains out?.

What time period are Sun and Frank in? early 90's? after the purge I take it.

That episode rocked. The conversation with Sawyer and Jack was excellent and Sawyer nailed Jack.

It's post-crash because of the runway, which was being worked on in 2004 when Kate, Sawyer and Jack were taken with the Others, and what we saw was a completed runway, so I'm going to go with 2008 (hence the 30 years earlier text, not being exactly 30 years since it's 2008 and 1977).

Yeah also have we seen the Dharma area before by the dock? because the buildings look recently trashed like 3 or 4 years ago?

The last time we saw Dharmaville in present time was when Ben called on smokey just after Alex was killed.

So...

Radzinsky was behind the construction of the Swan. He was working at the flame in the last episode and we can deduce from his and Jin's conversation that he knew all about the other Dharma stations.

However, we already know that he killed himself in the Swan and drew out the Dharma logo with all the stations on it and a big question mark in the middle on the blast door. What got him freaked out that he stated underground in the Swan all this time? And only traveled outside with a radiation suit and radiation drug injections?

Jughead.

So, the upcoming episode with the Incident will involve the Jughead. However, we know the Jughead never goes off since Dharma folk continued to live in the Barracks up until 1992. So, during 1977 - 1992 he was tricked into "saving the world" and confined to the Swan.

Kelvin Inman, his partner, arrived at the Swan sometime in 1991-1992.

So, I'm guessing what happened was another time shift that shook the entire Island that made Radzinsky think the hydrogen bomb went off. This time shift will occur soon, I'm guessing in the current year, 1977 (or maybe later - since it must have taken some time to built the Swan). Most likely involving the Losties getting back to their original timeline, however, from what Christian told Sun... it appears she has to go back to him.

At least we know where he got the map skills from and the location of everything.

Awesome stuff! I love me some swan station!

I don't get why Sun isn't ported back to the 70s.

Two possibilities:

1) The island doesn't need her, and thus leaves her alone.

2) The island needs her to do something in 2008.

The second is more likely, with Christian showing up to lead Sun and Lapidus to wherever they need to go.

Akuma, one problem with your theory about Radzinsky thinking Jughead went off is that he seems knowledgeable, and thus would know that a hydrogen bomb going off would level everything on the island.

Rappy, I love me some Swan too. Thinking about theming the basement of my new house into my own version of the Swan.

Complete with this:

I'm not clever enough to work out the specifics, but Sun has a child...

Claire disappeared leaving Aaron, babies couldn't be born on the island after a certain date etc so something is going on with paradoxes or whatever.

Edit for clarification, maybe the "can't have children" time-frame was a temporal time frame that wasn't permanent, children would mess up the time period because the children would have to come from somewhere thus be "set" in time. Bah I can't explain it properly but it makes sense to me :)

Ok that would own seriously!

We've seen people on the island at the same time. They didn't meet each other, but Locke, Sawyer, and Juliet all were on island during at least one flash with their 'real' counterparts.

If/when it gets done I'll be sure to post a ton of pics. The mural will be the worst part to duplicate, but I'm thinking about just buying the largest print of it I can find.

So far the biggest is only 24 x 23, which doesn't make me too happy.

I think that's ok because they can't interfere with themselves anyway, but having children "stamps" the future which would explain why there was a period on the island that no children could be born, because that period was some sort of "loop" that was not set in time.

Sawyer has a daughter. You going to argue that this only applies to women?

Remember that on this show, there is only one timeline. Everything is 'set' as it is. Except for Desmond.

It's going to be hard to draw it yourself unless you are a talented drawer :(

    • Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta by Razvan Serea Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need! Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta changelog: Improve the guards for using the "silent" option Improve the ability to cancel during write retries Fix unrestricted XML entity expansion and integer overflow in ezxml parser (courtesy of @esadowski4) [GHSA-55r2-34wg-8mv9] Fix "silent" Windows installation failing at 75% in most cases [#2960] Fix a crash during boot when using UEFI:NTFS on Snapdragon X based ARM64 platforms [#2934] Fix the first WUE option always being checked by default [#2965] Fix an infinite loop when using Windows ISOs that contain multiple WIMs Fix "Enable runtime UEFI media validation" checkbox not always being properly enabled Other WUE improvements/fixes for OneDrive removal and username validation (with thanks to @christian8641) [#2984, #2991] Download: Rufus 4.15 Beta | 1.9 MB (Open Source) Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.3 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player. Options > Playback > After Playback (permanent setting) Menu > Play > After Playback (for current file only) A-B repeat - You can loop a segment of a video. Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers. You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video Menu > View > Pan&Scan This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below). There are lots of keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions to control the player. They can be customized as well. Options > Player > Keys Tip: there is a search box above the table. You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites Put yt-dlp.exe or youtube-dl.exe in the MPC-HC installation folder. Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp/youtube-dl, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder. Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder. Play HDR video This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer. After installation these renderers can be selected here: Options > Playback > Output Ability to search for and download subtitles, either automatically or manually (press D): Options > Subtitles > Misc Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability.

    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account by Usama Jawad As things currently stand, Microsoft Edge only allows you to sign in to the browser with a Microsoft Account (MSA). This allows you to sync your browser settings and other data across other devices, as long as you sign in with the same account. However, Microsoft is now modifying this mechanism in a way that will likely please many users. In an update to its Microsoft 365 Roadmap, Microsoft has indicated that it will soon let users sign into Edge using a Google account from the profile menu and the Edge sign-in screen. This will be in addition to the MSA login option, and it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account. This brings several advantages such as the ability to sync your data across devices using just a Google account. It may even facilitate flexible single sign-on (SSO) experiences where you can quickly login to websites and services through a single Google account that is presented as the preferred sign-in option. Up until now, Microsoft allowed customers to indirectly use a Google account, by configuring a Google account as a Microsoft account, or by setting up a one-way sync option between Edge and Chrome. This is a rather interesting development, especially considering that Google Chrome still limits you to a Google account sign-in, but it will be interesting to see if the company reciprocates Microsoft's gesture in the future. This is not the only recent instance in which Microsoft has extended a handshake to Google via Edge. In April 2026, it began tracking the development of a work search banner for Google Search queries, just like the one present in Edge. However, if we go back almost seven years, to January 2020, Microsoft had emphasized that it had no plans to "integrate Google services into Microsoft Edge by default", in response to people requesting Google sign-in services on Edge. Fast-forward to today, and Microsoft is planning to release this feature in July 2026, with IT admins having the option to control its availability on Windows and macOS through the NonMicrosoftAccountSignInEnabled policy.
