You can't be surprised about that. She has another show ...

I didn't say I was surprised. I said disappointed. I know she's in V which was so horrible I only did 3/4 of the eps up. It was just.. snoozefest.

Anyway being on another show doesn't necessarily mean they're not able to do Lost. A lot of the other characters have a few parts in other shows (eg: Charlie now in some FastForward eps.)

You don't need to be in spoilers for this, really.

Charlie was only doing a cameo. He hasn't been a main character since S3. Thats why he can do FlashForward.

So the plane didn't crash and they all made it to LA except our good ol' Losties are back in their present and still on the island. The two time lines have to converge some where or nothing will make sense!

They have hinted many times before about String Theory and Parallel Universes. Juliet said "it worked". Quite possibly they all die and are converged into the time line we are seeing now in the "flashforwards". My theory, but it would explain why she knew it worked.

LyhT: No.

They aren't flash forwards. They are flash-alternates.

If anything, the '815 lands' timeline is the one that has to go away. To use it as the 'real' timeline throws away too much of the show.

I have a theory about Richard. Maybe Richard is Magnus Hanso. It would explain why Alvar knows about the island and is interested in it. I know the blast door map suggests Magnus is possibly buried near the Black Rock, but if that were true, then how does Alvar know about the island?

Thoughts?

'Nemesis' mentioned Richard being in chains. That says to me that Richard came in as a slave on the Black Rock.

I think they are called flash sideway or something like that.

Okay, that means he could be Magnus Hanso then. Maybe there was a mutiny and Richard was put in chains. Maybe 'Nemesis' became the new captain? I know at the beginning of the S4 Finale we saw this ship heading towards the island, but it was never 100% identified as the Black Rock, so it is still possible for him to be Magnus isn't it?

Alvar is Magnus Hanso's great grandson.

Lost Pedia is a godsend when you want to recap on little things you might have overlooked/forgotten :)

Right, I understand that. It would make sense that Magnus tells Alvar, his great grandson, about the island or loses documents to him somehow about the island and Alvar funds Dharma to find and exploit the island.

Man that was incredible. It's crazy that we have both timelines going at the same time, so no matter which way you theorized, you were right and wrong (wrong in that it wasn't just one of the two possibilities). I'm glad we know that what Locke is, but even more pressing now is who, not what, is the smoke monster and how did they become that way? Anubis seems a likely candidate going by Ben's visit to the temple last season, and it's crazy that unLocke was walking with Ben to the temple, Ben falls through the floor, and unLocke is the one that judges him and even appears as Alex. What a mind bender. Richard being Alvar doesn't seem like a far fetched idea, and the island on the ocean floor, mega whoa. The next few months are going to rock my world, and I can't wait! :D

One last thing. I was getting a bit annoyed by the fact that everything the Asian guy said had to be interpreted. I hope that doesn't continue for long.

Im thinking the temple people are the remains of the blackrock

I'm sure some of them probably are. But here's my question about these people...

Remember like in S2 or 3, can't remember which, Darlton stated in a podcast (I believe this is true, but I may be remembering incorrectly) that there may be two Other factions.

Is it possible that Richard's group is one faction and then the temple group is a separate group?

[edit] Hey, on Nightline, they just stated that when the show ends, all of the props on the show will be auctioned off for charity :D

    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft's aggressive roadmap to deliver a commercial quantum supercomputer by 2029 has now hit a bit of a snag, and it's not because of a complex sub-zero dilution refrigerator, but rather because of a few lines of basic Python code. A new critique published in the scientific journal Nature argues that simple software errors effectively manufactured the breakthrough that Microsoft's foundational research claimed back in 2025 into Majorana-based topological qubits. Topological quantum computing, the path that Microsoft chose for its research, relies on creating and controlling "Majorana zero modes." These are exotic quasiparticles that theoretically offer vastly superior error resistance compared to the highly sensitive superconducting qubits currently being championed by rivals like Google and IBM. However, physically proving you have created these particles requires sifting through massive amounts of complex electrical conductance data to isolate a specific "topological gap." Because of the sheer volume of data, physicists rely heavily on custom software pipelines to process the results. This is where the Python scripts come in. Now, according to the critique, Microsoft’s data processing software contained fundamental programming errors that ultimately skewed the published results. By mishandling data arrays or deploying incorrect logic within the Python script, the software supposedly discarded "noisy" or contradictory data. Which is why it only highlighted the specific electrical measurements that supported the topological-gap claim. The researchers behind the critique argued that this makes the findings invalid, suggesting the heralded "quantum leap" was actually a false positive generated by bad code and not a product of groundbreaking physics. However, Microsoft is pushing back hard against these allegations. The Redmond giant has formally rejected the criticism, saying that it's just a minor anomaly rather than a fatal flaw. According to the company, while there may have been a minor oversight in the data parsing scripts, it does not alter the fundamental reality of their physical experiment. Just weeks ago, Microsoft unveiled the Majorana 2 quantum processor, a milestone so significant that the company boldly accelerated its timeline for a commercial quantum supercomputer from 2035 down to 2029. But the new software allegations reopen an old wound. Microsoft's quantum division faced a remarkably similar crisis when a landmark 2018 paper on Majorana particles was famously retracted in 2021 after independent physicists discovered the data had been inappropriately cropped. That historical baggage makes the current Python-related allegations particularly sensitive. If the foundational math and data processing for the 2025 breakthrough are genuinely flawed, the highly anticipated 2029 commercial timeline could easily be delayed or, worse, cancelled.

    • AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs by Taras Buria Earlier this week, AMD released an important graphics driver update. Version 26.6.2 brought AMD FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen Radeon lineup, the RX 7000 series, giving users better upscaling tech that was previously locked to the newest GPUs. However, the driver turned out to be a little buggy, with users reporting installation issues on systems still running Windows 10. AMD quickly acknowledged the bug and today released a hotfix to resolve the problem. The AMD 26.6.3 Hotfix update is now available for download from the official website. Given that it is a hotfix release, it has only one change in its release notes: AMD announced the update on its official X account and added that a WHQL driver update with the necessary fixes would be released next week. Meanwhile, users can apply the hotfix or roll back to the previous driver using the official AMD Cleanup Utility. You can download AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.3 Hotfix Preview Driver from the official website here. It is compatible with all currently supported graphics cards and 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11! I guess we all need a good laugh now and again...
