Interesting they chose 23 for Jack.

Psalm 23, also known as the Shepherd Psalm, is possibly the most quoted and best known Psalm

In the 23rd Psalm (Greek numbering: Psalm 22) in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, the writer (David) describes God as his Shepherd. As the Shepherd, He will protect, provide, and guide us. If we are in danger of a strong enemy, He will protect us; if we are in danger of famine, He will provide us with enough food; He leads us and guides us where we will be safe, where there is abundant life. The text, beloved by Jews and Christians alike, has often been set to music.

I realized earlier that the people on the list are important not only to Jacob but MiB as well. For one thing it was really FLocke trying to get the Oceanic 6 back to the island. If Jacob was to choose his successor from the bunch why would MiB be so interesting in getting them back to the island too? It seems like after the last episode it's pretty clear that Smokey wants to take one of the candidates as well. That also explains why the temple group are trying to keep Smokey out. Not because he wants to get inside but more specifically he wants the candidates. Right now he's got Sawyer in his sights and how appropriate that he would run into Sawyer the conman of all people.

So the next question is what does Smokey want exactly and why would he possibly want to kill Sawyer? Perhaps to take his place as prisoner of the island? Flocke said he was a man once who's now trapped in his current form (perhaps for a hundreds of years). He could have been just another person brought to the island once (on The Black Rock maybe?), chosen by his predecessor the previous person trapped as Smokey and all he wants is to get the hell off like most everyone else.

Am I the only one that's hoping Sawyer doesn't simply turn into another puppet like Locke? After Juliet he was a lost and broken man. It seems like Sawyer could either fall into the hands of Smokey or find new purpose in life and save his fellow Losties by pwning Smokey.

Also about the title of the 13th episode

The Last Recruit. Could this be referring to someone not on the list of candidates as in Kate maybe?

Now for some other stuff.

Tidbits from interview:

Michael Emmerson has 4 remaining eps. to film.

He has some "killer" scenes to shoot with Terry O'Quinn.

The fact that he's a history teacher has a "big meaning that will play out" over the course of the season.

Emerson was a comic actor?! :o

those videos are cool :woot:

Come on. The 'him' was referring to Sawyer. As in, he can't kill Sawyer, because Jacob (aka little blonde boy) touched him.

Again, Richard told Sawyer he wasn't trying to kill him, but recruit him. I rarely disagree with your points on here, but I think you're wrong on this one.

And he didn't kill Richard because he saw the kid in the first place. He had every intention of doing it up until that point.

great they had to bring religion into this

Remember this pic from the person in the cabin?

jacob.jpg

I think now we can safely assume that it was indeed locke

wasn't that meant to be Jacob? because the gunpowder around the house kept smokey out

That is Terry O'Quinn, but it was meant to be Jacob at the time, which we now know was not the case. However, we now know it's really the MIB, who didn't appear as Locke until after Locke's dead body was back on the island, so that isn't Locke, just Terry O'Quinn playing an unnamed character.

so maybe it was simple foreshadowing?

Where the hell have you been? Religion has been a part of this show since, like the beginning.

http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Religion

If you didn't realize that, then you really haven't been paying any attention.

I like how they glossed over the numbers issue "yeah Jacob had a thing for numbers" :rofl: And that little boy that Locke and Sawyer could see looked like a younger Jacob.

Never seen Richard so scared :omg:

And how come no one has spotted that ladder on the side of that cliff? Nice place for an office though.

yeah I was quite surprised I mean its a bloody ladder someone must of seen it!

I forgot to mention last night that unLocke said nearly the same thing Jack said back when Locke was in the hospital, trying to convince Jack that they all need to go back.

Jack to Locke at the greenhouse in S4: "It's an island John, no one needs to protect it."

unLocke to Sawyer last night: "That's the joke. There's nothing to protect it from, it's just an island."

Then there was unLocke yelling don't tell me what I can't do. Anyone think there's a significance to this?

    • Onkyo Dolby Atmos AV receivers are really solid deals by Sayan Sen Recently we covered great deals on several soundbar models from the likes of Sony, JBL, Samsung and others for really good prices (the lowest in several months). Aside from that we also reported on the Edifier S3000MKII, a hi-fi two-way bookshelf monitor that's available for only $800. Today we bring a list of AV receivers from Onkyo that are available at great prices including the Onkyo NR7100, RZ30, and 8470 (purchase links under the specs table down below). The Onkyo TX-NR7100 and Onkyo TX-RZ30 are both 9.2-channel AV receivers designed for immersive home theater setups but they occupy slightly different tiers within Onkyo’s lineup with the RZ30 positioned as the more advanced model. The TX-NR7100 is a THX Certified 9.2-channel receiver offering up to 100 W per channel (8 ohms, 2 channels driven). It supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced formats, with flexible configurations such as 5.1.4 or 7.1.2 speaker layouts. A key highlight is its built-in Dirac Live Room Correction which should help optimize sound based on your room and its acoustics. In comparison, both models share several core capabilities though the RZ30 is geared toward enthusiasts seeking more precise calibration and system flexibility, while the NR7100 is positioned as a slightly more accessible, value-focused option with strong all-round performance. The technical specs of the RZ30 and NR7100 9.2 AVRs are given in the table below: Specification Onkyo TX-RZ30 Onkyo TX-NR7100 Power Output (FTC, 2ch driven) ~100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) 100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) Dynamic / Peak Power 9 × 170 W (6Ω, 1kHz, 1% THD, 1ch driven) 220 W/ch (6Ω, 1kHz, 10% THD, 1ch driven) Frequency Response 5 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) 10 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) THD 0.08% 0.08% Room Correction Dirac Live (full bandwidth) Dirac Live (with AccuReflex support) Immersive Audio Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Speaker Layout Support Up to 7.2.2 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing Up to 7.2.4 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing HDMI Inputs / Outputs 6 inputs / 2 outputs (eARC) 6 inputs / 2 outputs (Main + Sub/Zone 2) HDMI 2.1 Support 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC Video Formats HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 Streaming / Network Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Get them at the links below: Onkyo TX-RZ30 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $797.00 (Sold and shipped by Electronic Expo) Onkyo TX-NR7100 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $699.00 (Sold and shipped by Adorma) Onkyo TX-8470 2 Ch Stereo Receiver: $449.00 (Sold and Shipped by Adorma) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • A different thing with Russia. When you say is it better, depends on things. It is better that we don't have the E.U making rules and laws that have nothing to do with them. Is the trading part better? No, that is really mucked up, but then we knew that was going to happen and we would have make agreements, like we do with other parts of the world. Freedom of movement is certainly better, but could be improved, we still need more control over our borders. do you live in the U.K?
    • So what am I quoting from them? I never listened to what Farage or his cronies said. I wanted the U.K to leave the E.u years before the referendum and it had nothing to do with Farage and his cronies. So what country do you live in? Did we work much better together? We were always at logger heads with the E.U because we disagreed with them so much. Maggie was always on at them. I would have thought the E.U was glad to get rid of us as we stopped the integration or made it a two tier. Now without us they can integrate more. I would not have voted out if it was just a trading block and we can still work together on somethings.

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.
