anyone know what the deal with Locke is? Is he dead for good or will he come back to life? I know the smoke monster has taken his form but he / it is not the real Locke. He was one of the best characters on the show.

On-island 2007 Locke is dead.

Alt Locke is alive.

Smokey-Locke is ... whatever he is.

Lost dropped 11 percent from the premiere to a 4.9 rating with adults 18-49, still pretty decent retention from the premiere for a show in its sixth (and final) season. The Forgotten (remember The Forgotten) had its best outing in a while in the post-lost slot with a 2.0 adults 18-49 rating. Though a lot of that was lead-in related as The Forgotten had a 2.3 in its first half hour and dropped to a 1.7 adults 18-49 rating in its last 30 minutes.

Really? That's his statement to those of us who have been with the show for six ****ing years? I had a lot of respect and admiration for him and Cuse, but he just lost any of it. WE have put hours to watching THEIR show and we cannot criticize it? What an asswipe. Utter asswipe :angry:

Yes, Damon, last night's episode was a filler. A HUGE disappointment, especially considering it was hour 15 to go. You guys could have done a lot better job.

I thought this episode was fairly filler-like, but might prove a bit more crucial in the long run by re-introducing Claire, and hopefully eventually that leads up to some explanation of the mystery behind Aaron. Is/why is he special? What's his purpose in the grand scheme of things?

I think Kate on the run from the cops and Kate chasing after Sawyer are well and truly used up plot devices now, so let's move on please!

The Ethan scene was interesting, more "opposite" type stuff since the ALT world has been in play, in the original time line he was sticking needles into her and injecting her but didn't want to in this one, in both he appears to be important in actually making sure Aaron is born I guess.

Is the asian guy from the black rock? Or even older?

Also anyone know if we will even get any explanations about Walt's special abilities?

Some wikipedia stuff I've stumbled upon (greek mythology etc):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apotheosis

"Apotheosis (from Greek ἀποθεόω, apotheoun "to deify", later the Italian gi?vino, "to be made divine"[1]), refers to the exaltation of a subject to divine level"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroon

A heroon - ἡρῷον (plural heroa - ἡρῷα), also called heroum, was a shrine dedicated to an ancient Greek or Roman hero and was used for the commemoration or worship of the hero. It was often erected over his supposed tomb or cenotaph.

I want today's to be good, but it'll be ruined because its Kate-centric *shudders*

You called it.

So if it isn't a filler, is he saying that the Kate crap is significant? It probably is. But one thing's for sure: It was a boring filler-like episode!

Actually, I love it when people like this don't give a ****, and just tell the fans what they think. It takes balls. Too many people are whining pointlessly. Why can't he reply in kind?

Yes, I'm whining that this episode was a filler too, but at least I'm not offended that he has the balls to speak up against whining. There's too much whining and ungrateful bitching. Tell it like it is, Damon!

What exactly did you want? They explained Alt-Kate. They showed showed what happened to Claire. They explained Sayid. They showed Sawyer grieve over Juliet.

Also, if you follow his tweets, they are usually jokes/funny.

If people are crying over it already it seems like Lost may become a victim of it's own success. All the hype and expectation has been building for so long it's like people are expecting Jesus to make his return at the finale or something.

Must be a lot of complaints that the episode is a filler, elsewhere too. While it confirms that Sayid is Claimed and answered WHAT happened to Claire?

Plus, a very beautiful lady like Kate just isn't GOOD enough, for the viewers of Lost, eh?

All the beauty in the world can't outweigh annoyance and dullness, but this episode was saved by the fact that it didn't neglect other items, like Sayid, Claire and the Others.

Looks are enough to keep you glued, but not everyone else.

Season 5 Easter Egg

1391993559t.jpg

Since I?m a Classics/Religion major in undergrad and love Greek mythology, I had to find out what this said. After extensive research I was able to fill in the missing portions because, as it turns out, all three lines are from various portions of the Iliad. The text reads:

Line 1:

νῦν τοι ἐελδέσθω πόλεμος κακός (Iliad bk. 16, line 494)

Line 2:

ῥέε δ᾽ αἵματι γαῖα (Iliad bk. 4, line 451)

Line 3:

θανάτου δὲ μέλαν νέφος ἀμφεκάλυψεν (Iliad bk. 16, line 350)

This translates to:

?Now you must embrace this evil war?

?the ground ran with blood?

?then death?s black cloud enveloped?

    • Payday TWO!! Is 13 years old man I feel old - I remember trying it out and if I did not know I would say 5-6 years ago or something
    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
