So is now the parallel universe a FACT? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiverse#Television

The 2010 season of the television show Lost features a parallel universe. A hydrogen bomb explodes on the island changing the history of the main characters. In this scenario, the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 never crash on the island. However, the first scenario continues to play out as well, thus creating a parallel universe.

I just want to see a certain character again, and I will be happy.

Nikki I bet :p

I wouldn't take much of Wikipedia as fact these days but everything we've seen so far points to alternate timeline. Of course this being Lost there's probly some twist on the AR thing like the Schroedingers cat theory that was mentioned earlier.

Actually, in an interview with Darlton, they stated that it is not an alternate timeline. They claimed by saying the word alternate, that one of the timelines may not be real, while the other is.

Is there a relationship between Island reality and sideways reality? Will they run parallel for the remainder of the season? Will they fuse together? Might one fade away?

LINDELOF: For us, the big risk that we’re taking in the final season of the show is basically this very question. [Lindelof then explains the show has replaced the trademark “whoosh!” sound effect marking the segue between Island present story and flashbacks or flash-forwards, thus calling conspicuous attention to the relationship between the Island world and the Sideways world.] This is the critical mystery of the season, which is, “What is the relationship between these two shows?” And we don’t use the phrase “alternate reality,” because to call one of them an “alternate reality” is to infer that one of them isn’t real, or one of them is real and the other is the alternate to being real.

CUSE: But the questions you’re asking are exactly the right questions. What are we to make of the fact that they’re showing us two different timelines? Are they going to resolve? Are they going to connect? Are they going to co-exist in parallel fashion? Are they going to cross? Do they intersect? Does one prove to be viable and the other one not? I think those are all the kind of speculations that are the right speculations to be having at this point in the season.

LINDELOF: But it is going to require patience. We’ve taught the audience how to be patient thus far, so while they’re getting a lot of mythological answers on the island early in the season, this idea of what is the relationship between the two [worlds] is a little bit more of a slow burn.

I just wanted to point that out because I caught myself doing it to and a friend pointed out that the word could be interpreted to mean that one timeline is not real and one is. As pointed out, both timelines are in fact real.

Maybe this has been discussed and I missed it, but I wanted to through it out there.

Nemesis clearly morphed into the appearance of Locke, instead of inhabiting his body. The logical thought is that Jacob has taken over his body, but that begs the question, why did he ask, "What happened?" in that tone of voice. I think it is Juliet that is inside Sayid :p

I know that sounds crazy, but that's my thought. It isn't a fully fleshed out theory, but a thought that came to mind.

Remember, when they brought Ben to the temple Richard said he wouldn't remember what happened.

Thats why Sayid didn't.

That's true, but in that case Ben was still Ben. I'm assuming then that you believe that Sayid is Sayid and isn't being inhabited by Jacob or some other spirit?

Not a chance.

Why would Jacob say 'what happened?'

He knew exactly what happened. His plan included the temple, and he knew Sayid was going to be dying, because he planned the guitar case.

Now, you could say he planned all of that to get a body he could use, but the problem with that is if that were the case, he wouldn't say 'what happened?'

has anyone hear rumor or confirmation of any sort of episode after the finale to explain the series, like a sit down with cast and writers to explain and show the various things we may have missed or to explain the series. Because I'd be more excited about being able to piece this thing together correctly then i would for the finale..lol I really hope something like this happens.

You'll probably see that on the DVD/Bluray release.

I really hope so, it would be worth the purchase. Once the series is over, i would really love to read a written bio or video interview detailing the whole series cause there are so many things that I find confusing and want to get answers..lol

The gf and I watched it last night, was nice to have Lost back, looking forward to things being resolved.

Though it would have been easier to follow this topic if it started when the season did. :p

flocke doesn't agree! :p

its possible that the 'ALT' is what happened in 2004 (s1) if they did not crash. Those currently on the island are in 2007. So although they didnt initially crash in 2004, somehow destiny will have them back on the island one way or another by 2007.

Nestor Carbonell Interview

Even though I?m trying to remain unspoiled, I?ve heard that you may have already taped a Richard flashback episode. Hypothetically, if that did happen, did it hypothetically turn out like you thought it would?

I think we can safely say that I did shoot one. I obviously can?t go into detail as to the nature of the episode, but the writers delivered a script that I was really blown away by. I?ve been wondering for three and a half years who my guy is, and I?ve been writing my own history to justify what I did; when I finally got it, I realized how off the mark I was, but I was really blown away. It?ll come in at the midpart of the season, and it?ll answer not just questions about the origin of my character but really also the mythology and the real nature of the island. It?s a big reveal, and it wildly exceeded my expectations.

Is it the sort of thing where the writers will let you know that your episode is coming up, or does it just arrive on your doorstep and you?re like, ?Oh ****! This is my episode!?

They gave me a bit of a heads-up, and I can?t say why, but there needed to be one. I knew it was my episode about two episodes in advance, and [co-executive producer] Carlton Cuse also called me and said how excited he was about the episode and how much it would reveal. When he called me, I said, ?Oh my God, I can?t wait to read it now,? and then when I read it, it blew my mind. Part of me always wondered, ?Do I really want to know everything about this guy? Do I want it to remain a little bit of a mystery and not get a full backstory?? But when I read how they handled it, it was really quite amazing. They revealed quite a bit, but there?s still some questions I don?t fully know, and I?d imagine we?ll get some of those answers. The bigger questions about him, though, they do tackle.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

LOL @ the gifs :rofl:

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
