So, Radzinsky saying he would call 'Ann Arbor' was presumably University of Michigan. Hence, calling Gerald and Karen DeGroot who started the DHARMA Initiative.

Now, I wonder where Sayid will run off too. And it's pretty much certain that Sayid will be one of the first main Losties to go for the following reasons...

1. He didn't join Dharmville

2. The Hostiles might have not taken him since we know they didn't care about him after 815 crash

3. He shot their leader of 1992 - 2005

It's also certain that the writers don't want Radzinsky to be "that" smart. Considering, Jin rushing in to the flame talking about a plane crash and Sayid telling them he crashed from a plane. :blink:

Awesome.

It's intriguing that Sayid was blind sided by the fact that everyone else was on the same plane, that fate (or the island) kept them together even though they tried to avoid it, that they're all intertwined.

Ben isn't dead, but it's funny that Ben, in effect, made himself the way that he is. Older Ben knows Sayid and manipulated him so that he would be pushed over the edge to shoot him as a young boy, making him the man he later becomes: a conniving, manipulative survivor.

Can't get enough of this.

This is where the logic fails though, which I have pointed out before, if Sayid shot him a couple more times, split his body, how can the world course-correct? Is "fate" powerful enough so that the state of mind Sayid was in did not realize that he needed to shoot Ben *just* a couple more times to confirm his death?

Good point.

I think fate or the course correcting universe would have made the gun jam like when Michael tried to kill himself. But like has already been stated maybe this is the thing that pushes Ben over the edge and turns him into a psychopath so Sayid was always destined to shoot young Ben.

That would have introduced a paradox in the story. Sayid's an assassin, so it's natural for multiple shots, but it was hard enough for Sayid to shoot a boy once, much less multiple times. How would things turned out if he should him the head or as you described? Don't know, but we know that it happened in a way that allowed Ben to survive it.

How bout this.

The island heals Ben when he is clearly dead, and this is the event that shows to Richard that Ben is supposed to lead the Others.

I never thought about that.

I loved it when Radzinsky was shocked at Sayids knowledge of the yet built station, makes me think how they come up with the swan.

time traveling doesn't have to make sense :p

Old Ben is one of the reasons why they are back on the island in 70's, had he failed or things turned out some other way, who would of shot young Ben then, or would he have been shot at all ? :whistle:

    • HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival

      By Steven P. · Posted

      HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival by Steven Parker Global AI device ecosystem company HONOR announced on June 13 that its revolutionary HONOR Robot Phone made its professional imaging debut at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), demonstrating the result of its mobile videography capabilities for the first time. As the official mobile photography and videography partner of the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival, HONOR empowers this premier cinematic event with cutting-edge mobile imaging technology. Marking the global debut of the first cinematic video it captured, Robot Phone breaks down the boundaries between mobile imaging and professional filmmaking, ushering in a new paradigm for the deep integration of technology and cinematic art. In the video published on HONOR’s official channel (above), Robot Phone was used byELLEMEN to capture cinematic video portraits for the SIFF jury members. With its exceptional stability and cinema-grade imaging capabilities, the device redefines the art of portrait filmmaking, faithfully reproducing the rich tonal gradations and nuanced color transitions associated with film photography. The result is a new level of visual sophistication, creating high-end cinematic imagery that seamlessly blends atmosphere with narrative tension. The video released for the Robot Phone showcases the powerful stabilization capabilities of its built-in gimbal system, delivering exceptionally smooth handheld camera movement while preserving full image quality. By minimizing reliance on electronic image stabilization, the device effectively avoids the image cropping and quality loss typically associated with digital stabilization methods. Representing an innovative leap in form factor, the HONOR Robot Phone features the industry's smallest titanium alloy gimbal, delivering ultra-precision, extreme flexibility, and superior stability. Driven by high-performance motors, the gimbal rises dynamically, breaking free from the physical limitations of traditional camera modules. Combined with advanced AI algorithms that enable intelligent object tracking and various movements with stable shots, the device significantly simplifies video creation and reshapes both the equipment choices and creative habits of modern users. Notably, the Robot Phone will be the first product that features the results of HONOR's strategic technological partnership with ARRI, the world-renowned designer and manufacturer of professional camera technology for cinematic storytelling. From Cannes to Shanghai, the HONOR Robot Phone continues to lead the mobile imaging industry into an entirely new stage of development. Moving forward, HONOR will leverage cutting-edge AI and mobile imaging technologies to unlock new creative possibilities and extend cinematic standards for visual expression from the world of high-end filmmaking to the next generation of content creators.

      I'll wait for the root cause analysis. Looks like it's HP, Lenova, and certain configurations that are askew, hardly "all of windows." Time will tell.

      I had issues with my NVME, it was running really slow (like 2/3 mb bandwidth) ... had to reverted via System Restore and all is fine now.
