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:

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

      It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
