Lost - Season 5


Recommended Posts

My guess is Jacob controls Smokey. Smokey cannot directly attack Jaboc. Smokey manipulated Ben to free himself.

It would not make sense, or take a whole season, to skim over the incident NOT happening. The nuke going off is what caused the original incident afterall. Otherwise its a big slap in the face saying "hey nothing happened afterall".

Plus the time theory of it all doesn't make sense.

I don't think so. Maybe because Richard sees the explosion and knows that's what Jack was trying to do, he assumes they all die.

It could also be possible that he saw them die in the first occurence of time, but they actually succeeded in doing it different (as Faraday wanted). Although I agree with you, a massive explosion and the disapperance of them = Richard thinks he saw them die.

I agree with whoever said Jacod healed Ben in the temple. Jacob has also given Richard the ability not to age.

Remember Ben couldn't kill Whidmore directly? Because of "the rules". It seems similar to Jacob and Smokey...

Jacob didn't seem too bothered when Ben was going to kill him. He didn't try to run or anything, and my guess would be he is still "in control" of the situation because of him planning the others to detonate the H bomb.

I was meant to watch all 4 seasons before the 5th, but didn't have time :(

I'm determined to watch them all before the last series. I might even save up the episodes of the last series and watch them all in a day for more epicness...who am I kidding I can't wait that long!

What did happen between Jacob and Locke when Locke was thrown out of the 8th floor Window? Did he just touch locke, or he healed him enough to live, if not walk (coz, the thought of naturally surviving a fall of that magnitude seems to be stretching things too much)?

And was the hut that we were led to believe was Jacob's same as the one in which Rose/Bernard had been living? And when Locke and Ben went to the hut, did we not see a man with a beard like the one Bernard grew?

My wife and I are going to have a Lost marathon where we watch all five seasons before the sixth starts.

This is the plan here at my house ;)

We have pretty much forgotten what season 1 was like so it's safe to say now is a perfect time for a catch up before the next season and it should highlight and help me understand a few things from season 5 all being well, season 5 was a bit of a rollercoaster after all!

I'll call Jacob's beach buddy, Esau.

- Jacob brought the Black-Rock to the Island and Richard being on the Island for a long time means Richard came from the slave ship.

- Esau hid Christian's dead body, just like John Locke's dead body from 316 plane. So, he started using Christian's body from that point on...

- The loophole, as episode said, was dark (Esau) killing light (Jacob)..

- When Jacob said "they're coming", he meant Ilana's group and Richard's group. That's why John looked at the door entrance.

I'm going to re-watch season 3 and 4 to make sure I'm not missing anything else. :D

Esau used Christian's body to tell Locke he needed to die to get everyone back to the island, and tricked Richard in to telling Locke that he needs to die as well. Or did Richard say it and Christian just tell him he knows what needs to be done?

Regardless with Locke dead and his body back on the island Esau got his loophole

Regardless with Locke dead and his body back on the island Esau got his loophole

Richard told Locke he had to die because that's what Esau-Locke told him to say. Christian was the first to say that he needed to die (chronologically).

Esau used Christian's body to tell Locke he needed to die to get everyone back to the island, and tricked Richard in to telling Locke that he needs to die as well. Or did Richard say it and Christian just tell him he knows what needs to be done?

Regardless with Locke dead and his body back on the island Esau got his loophole

I agree. Esau tricked Richard as well. So, when Ben, Richard and Esau walked to Yemi's plane and Esau told Richard to say those things to John Locke caused the chain reaction of Locke trying to kill himself to bring the others back. Yeah, maybe this is the start of the loophole..

Did anyone else Lol at the Rose and Bernard scene? :laugh:

It was good to see how easily they resolved the question which was lurking about what happened to vincent and them. Also Bernard's hair was soooo gray, he must of ages a lot in three years. Is the cabin they were living in the one that the 316 group and Lupedus stumbled upon?

The coming 8 months will be very long. Rewatch anyone ? :)

I doubt I have the mental capacity to endure that , lol.

My pov everyone thinking they are coming means Ilana and Richard , but I think Jacob was talking about the jolly bunch, Kate, James, Jack, Sun, Jin, Sayid, Hurley.

He touched all of them in a certain way which seemed odd as he didn't give them any purpose or path it was either a chat or a light touch, Faraday was convinced something can be done, maybe the nuke and the energy sent them to the present.

I just think teh white flash at the end has to mean some sort of time travel, which sent people back to the present or elsewhere. Else they could have just ended the frame with a black screen, LOST and a thud.

    • 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.

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 — 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 — 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.

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 — 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 — 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.

    • Of course the problem was Secure Boot's new certificates. Install media created by the official Media Creation Tool is already signed with a valid certificate from Microsoft, so maybe that certificate isn't "up-to-date" enough for machines with the new ones installed in the UEFI. There's really no other logical explanation.
