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. :\

SPOILERS AHEAD

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.

    • Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky      
    • Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
