Lost - Season 5


Recommended Posts

I don't live in the USA so I am watching episode 14 right now.

I'm trying not to read this thread so I won't see any spoilers, but I had to say....

Jack shoots gas cans and they blow up providing a convenient escape?

I mean, COME ON HERE!!!!!!!!

What a cheat. They could of written that better. The gun play was cool, and to accept time travel, ok.

But a MacGyver move, the exploding fuel cans. That was just sad.

Riiiight, a can full of gas beside a fueling station on a remote Island seems totally absurd. :rolleyes:

Nope, but gasoline/petroleum doesn't explode when shot at, believe it or not.

It's flammable, but not explosive. And having a bullet shot into it won't cause it to ignite.

I'd quote a source, but I can't be arsed... There's plenty out there though.

And mythbusters did 2 eps on it :p

But wouldn't the bullet hitting a metal object cause it to spark before releasing the fuel and the booooom? :)

The Official LOST Audio Podcast - Season Finale

I...really...can't....wait...for....this...season....finale!!!

- There is mythological advancement in the finale

- The finale has a season 1 feel to it along with season 6

- We will get more information about John Locke and the kill Jacob scenario

- Follow the leader was the first part of the finale

- They joke that jacob is a 60ft tall flaming man

- They hint that sawyer, kate and juliet may get back to the island in a special way.. carlton jokes 'the magic box?'

- The compass is in a time loop, they refer to it as what came first, the chicken or the egg?

- The video from comic con with Faraday talking to Chang was non-canon, only the show is canon, plus they could not get to that storyline in the actual show

- Faraday was meant to stay on the island instead of going to ann arbor, in this time he was going to try convince chang about the future, instead they sent him to ann arbor because of show constraints etc

- Hurley is a good guy, so is Kate and Lapidus and Sayid maybe a bad guy

- 60ft Flaming Jacob is a good guy

- Damon says that by the end of the incident and the premier of season 6 we will have enough information to theorise well how the whole series will end, as we will get a substantial piece of information in the incident, but then carlton says at the end of season 6 is when we will have enough information.

This is what you're going to complain about on Lost?

Gas cans exploding?

Everything else you were 100% fine with, but shoot a gas can and it blows up, and 'holy **** the show jumped the shark!'

:rolleyes:

Episode 15

When Jack was swimming underneath that river to reach the other side all I could think of was Tomb Raider or any other game when you had to "hold your breath" so I half-expected a "life bar" on the screen when he was underwater.

:laugh:

Lol, glad to know it wasn't just me :laugh:

does anyone here have a theory as to why john wants jacob killed?

it's interesting to see how much stronger John's connection with the island has gotten every since he returned to the island (probably due to the fact that he was dead and the island "resurrected" him). This leads me to believe that Jacob isn't as connected to the island as i thought because if john's, kind of, receiving hints/orders from the island, jacob can't be part of the island...or can he...i'm not really sure what to think.i can only assume

Yeah, perhaps your right, Jacob is just another man like Locke. Doesn't really explain the moving cabin or his seemingly super powers though. :\

Thanks, love Michael Emerson's interviews :)

Season Finale - New Sneak Peeks

Latest from Kristin

Scott in Ft. Collins, Colo.: What can you tell us about the Lost finale?

As Michael Emerson so impressively put it: The Lost finale will make you eat your soul. Also, stuff blows up, Jacob walks among us and we cry like crazy.

Sara in Rome: The last episode of Lost killed my Skate shipper heart. This should be the moment when you comfort us by telling us everything will be OK. Right? Right?

You guys have got to stop living episode-to-episode (you're going to give yourselves coronaries!) and start thinking long-term. Why? Because long-term, everything will be OK! Promise.

    • I think he means you haven't reviewed previous UFC games. Of course it doesn't matter... Every time you just report on something that involves the President even if just simply what happened you guys usually get accused of being anti-Trump. We live in fun times.
    • So how did you solve the problem? Disabling Secure Boot isn’t a solution.
    • Another devilish issue surrounding these certificates is what can happen with old, unsuspecting PCs that nevertheless have Secure Boot enabled. In my case, it was a Dell with a 3rd-gen Core chip (so about 13 years old). As of the last few weeks, it was suddenly BSOD'g within about 5 minutes of booting. Turns out it was because of MS's "Secure-Boot-Update" scheduled task, which is scheduled to run 5 minutes after login. It's explained in gory detail here (this is not my post, but it was where I found the answer), but the short version is that this legacy system would need fairly elaborate, manual certificate intervention since MS's automatic cert update method cannot work. How to do that is linked late in the thread. https://www.bleepingcomputer.c...od-caused-by-scheduled-task Secure Boot wasn't at all important for this particular PC, so I disabled it to be done with the problem.
    • Winhance 26.06.12 by Razvan Serea Winhance is an open-source Windows enhancement utility designed to help users debloat, optimize, and customize Windows 10 and 11. It provides a user-friendly interface for removing unwanted apps, legacy components, and optional features safely, giving you more control over your system. With Winhance, you can improve performance, reduce clutter, and enhance privacy without the need for a clean install. Beyond basic debloating, Winhance offers extensive optimization tools. Users can tweak power plans, adjust gaming and performance settings, control notifications, and manage Windows Update behavior. Privacy-focused settings allow you to limit telemetry and data collection, while system customization options let you personalize the taskbar, Start menu, Explorer, and Windows themes.

For advanced users and IT professionals, Winhance integrates WIMUtil, a tool for creating custom Windows installation ISOs with automated configuration. You can generate autounattend.xml files, inject drivers, and apply your chosen Winhance settings automatically during installation. Most changes are non-destructive and reversible, with clear explanations in the GUI. Whether you’re optimizing a single PC or managing multiple systems, Winhance delivers a faster, cleaner, and highly personalized Windows experience.

Winhance 26.06.12 changelog: Features Builder Mode β€” build a Winhance config file or autounattend.xml without changing anything on the PC you're sitting at. Flip the new mode switcher to Builder, set everything the way you want it, and save the result as a Winhance config or an autounattend file ready for deployment on other machines. Sponsors & Supporters page β€” the exit donation dialog is gone. In its place, an in-app page (heart icon or the More menu) recognizes the businesses and individual supporters who keep Winhance free. It works offline and is fully localized. Change History β€” Winhance now keeps a receipt of everything it does. ChangeHistory.txt records every setting change (before and after values) and every app install or removal, with clear headers for config imports and bulk actions. Open it from the More menu. Hebrew language support β€” Winhance is now available in 29 languages. New Explorer customizations: desktop icon visibility toggles, This PC folder visibility, an icon cache size setting, and automatic thumbnail cache cleanup. New "All apps view" setting for the redesigned Windows 11 Start menu, and the Windows 11 system tray icons setting is now a dropdown with more control. App-local UI zoom β€” press Ctrl +/-/0 or use Ctrl+MouseWheel to scale the whole app, just like a browser. New External Apps: EA app, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, Rockstar Games Launcher, PowerShell, and Helium Browser. Bug Fixes Layouts no longer clip when the Windows text size slider is set above 100%. Accessibility: Narrator now announces setting names on toggles and dropdowns, previously unlabeled buttons are labeled, and progress updates are announced. Silent updates now respect your custom install location instead of reverting to the default. Cancel in Review Mode no longer clears your app selections. OneNote is now detected correctly for Win32 Click-to-Run installs. Clean Start Menu applies more reliably by also writing the group policy path. WinGet errors are no longer silent β€” error details now show in the terminal output. Fixed a startup crash on older Windows builds caused by a .NET runtime regression. Config import now converts power setting values correctly and no longer re-applies an already-active power plan. Improvements App icons load noticeably faster and cover almost everything now, including legacy capabilities and optional features β€” they come from a dedicated, checksum-validated icon repository and are fetched in parallel. Software & Apps polish: per-icon tooltips, extra table columns, an app sort dropdown, relocated search, and a cleaner compact view. A warning now appears when the Connected Devices Platform Service is set to Manual or Disabled, since some Windows features depend on it.
