The show is going to no direction more than never. Its pretty hard to follow, more when like me, watch lost since day 0... Its obvious that will end that was a dream or a screensaver of a computer in the future or at best, like Life on Mars (US).

Richard Hammond, can we disagree, cant we?.

The shows producers already stated that it wont all be a dream or something made up in someones head.

I wasn't impressed about last nights episode...

It seems these characters as so easily tricked into doing anything. Sayid just picks up a knife and goes after Locke? He's known Locke for months now, and is gonna trust a guy who tried to kill him twice?

Cool ending tho (Y)

You clearly don't pay attention to anything with the show. I may find an episode or two disappointing, but at least I pay attention. They've said from like season two that it isn't all a dream. If you don't like the show anymore, which you've complained about it for years, then WHY do you keep watching it? :rolleyes:

Sayid knew Locke was dead, so when he saw him, he knew that it wasn't the real Locke. Sayid is also a character torn with doing something bad for the greater good as well as redeeming himself for his past, so I don't necessarily see it as him being so easily tricked.

The ending was awesome. It is so weird to see a Locke that knows what he wants, where he's going and how to do it. I know it isn't Locke, but I always seem to forget that. I'm still not convinced that Jacob's nemesis is the bad guy, which is why I allow myself to forget that. I've always connected more with Locke and really have enjoyed unLocke. Terry O'Quinn is such a great actor.

I don't think I've ever posted in this thread, even tho I've watched LOST from the very beginning. I'm going to offer my opinion a couple of points brought up, but just to clarify, they're my opinion only.

Sayid wasn't easily tricked. I believe that he made the deal with FLocke for the benefit of Nadia. When Ben found Sayid at the pool, Sayid said something to the effect of "There's no saving me anymore", or something like that. My guess is, that FLocke offered Sayid the chance to bring Nadia back to life, at the cost of his allegiance. Sayid didn't join FLocke's camp because he's bad, he joined to save another.

As for questions being answered last night, we now know ( for the most part ) who's on each side. We divided the players, with Claire, Sayid, possibly Sawyer on FLockes side and Hurley and Jack on Jacobs side. Kate and Jin are questionable, as with Ben and Sun. We're narrowing down the playing field, setting up the pieces like a huge chess game. If I had to guess, Jacob and MIB have done this several times in the past ( as per the season 5 finale where we saw the two arguing about bringing people to the island ). My belief is that the game replays itself out, just adding new players every so often. The show is influenced by Egyptian symbolism, and the Egyptians believed in balance with nature and perpetual struggle to maintain that balance.

Ancient Egyptian Religion - Cosmology

In Egyptian belief, the universe was governed by the force of ma'at. This Egyptian word encompasses several concepts in English, including "truth," "justice," and "order." It referred to the fixed, eternal order of the universe, both in nature and in human society. This was the most fundamental of all natural forces, believed to have existed from the creation of the universe, which ensured the continued existence of the world. Among humans, ma'at meant that all people and all classes of society lived in harmony. Any disruption of ma'at was inherently harmful, so all people were expected to behave in accordance with it.

In nature, ma'at meant that all the forces of nature existed in balance. It included the cyclical patterns of time?the cycle of day and night and of the seasons, and of human generations. While the Egyptians recognized that time is linear, they also saw it as cyclical, in that each of these patterns represented a renewal of ma'at and a defeat of disorder, and thus a repetition of the original creation of the universe. Therefore, the theme of cosmic renewal was present in many Egyptian rituals.

The island could be the epicenter of existance, and the fight between MIB and Jacob could be the battle for order that's played out over and over.

Just my opinion, discuss/flame as you will.

Just stating that last weeks promo clearly said Questions Will Be answered. Didn't seem like questions were answered but I do have a few new questions though. The second half of the episode was pretty good though the first half lacked. Flash sideways just wasn't anything important IMO. However I do agree some episodes are not for everyone.

LOL. You have only yourself to blame. I learned not to trust any ABC promos since Stranger on a Strange Land (I hope I got the episode name correct).

Anyway, I thought it was a great episode. Yeah, it didn't answer anything, but I still got pretty excited. And Sayeed vs Dogen Kungfu fight was pure WIN.

What has been bugging me is that Widmore has had absolutely no role in this season. I mean they made so much of his character in S4 and 5. And now, he has suddenly lost context.

So?What Is the Island? It's described as a four-letter word. There's your first clue! Shall we play Hangman? There are no A's or E's in the word?Wanna buy another vowel? Okay, but you only get one.

Or how about simply

L O S T ? Which DOES fit 100% as well!

Also could be DOOM or a POOL of dead souls

Sideways Timeline let this episode down. Just pointless at the moment :(

However, Sayid killing was awesome, didn't expect!

totally agree, though I didn't like the whole episode but I dont like the sideways timeline stuff atm.

Not quite sure how I have myself to blame for misinterpreting a promo which says something and shows tiny snippets because anything else it showed would ruin the episode. They could have put together a whole promo and it wouldn't have spoiled the episode.

It can, if another reset happens in the finale, erasing everyone's memory and bringing them back in time at the moment of their birth, for example. Then their lives will lead to 2004-no-plane-chrash timeline we are seeing now, with all their past experiences buried in their subconscious, therefore making them take the right directions in their lives (from what we've seen so far, most of the characters don't run away from their problems like in their "previous" life.)

In this scenario, Desmonds "see you in another life, brotha" makes much more sense.

Although I personally don't think the flash sideways will become the future (after a finale reset) of the losties, if it did reset I'd say it would reset to just before Jacob interfered with anyone, which will probably be the start of time! I think in reality the flash sideways are more of a "what would have been" (before interference) to help tie up and give resolution to the losties characters', as I imagine they'll all end up dead (except maybe one of two candidates who get 'selected' to become jacob/mib at year 0?).

Remember, fate/destiny vs free will. It was Ben's free will to kill Jacob, so he died. It was not Sayid's destiny to kill Smokey, so he didn't die.

Weren't they both manipulated? I'd even say that Ben was more heavily manipulated, Sayid was only given a short speech.

I can see me having a sour taste in my mouth at the finale. Things I want to know (but might not be answered):

- Importance of Walt - why is he special?

- Why were they banging on about Aaron being raised by another and all that?

- What's the significance of babies, Tawreet (sp?) and pregnancy

- Whidmore's importance, what were the rules between him and Ben in reference too

- Desmond's "the island isn't finished with you" statement.

Disappointing episode (N) The entire episode felt like it could have been told in about ten minutes. The flash-sideways felt even more useless the before.

Actually, I disagree. It seems as though the characters we are seeing in the flash sideways seem to have a parallel of sorts.

Kate and Claire end up together again in both time lines. Sayid goes back to his old ways in both time lines, ie killing people. Jack has interactions very similar to his on the island. So far the only character with flash-sideways that didn't have too many parallels was John, and for obvious reasons.

I think the parallels are going to continue to grow.

Quick note: Isn't Claire going to kill Kate? :p

Claire is super. SUPER scary now :l it actually freaks me out.

Miles is right, she's still hot :p

This may be a stupid question, but occurred to me recently. How did the smoke monster get on the Hydra Island to resurrect "Locke"? There are 3 "wisps" going around the island, right?

Locke was never resurrected. That is not Locke. Locke is dead and buried on the island.

Yeah I know, but his body was on the Hydra Island, so how did the Smoke Monster get there basically what I'm trying to ask?

    • The Light of Life? We actually do glow till our Death, study finds

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      The Light of Life? We actually do glow till our Death, study finds by Sayan Sen Image by Rafael Rendon via Pexels A study by researchers at the University of Calgary has found that living organisms produce an extremely faint light known as ultraweak photon emission, and that this glow appears to drop significantly after death. The research was published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry in April 2025 and quickly drew widespread attention, leading to more than 200 news stories about the findings. Ultraweak photon emission (or UPE), sometimes called biophoton emission, refers to tiny amounts of light released by living cells as a result of normal biological activity. A photon is the basic particle of light, and researchers say every living system examined so far, including plants and animals, has been found to emit these photons. The glow is far too faint to be seen by the human eye. “I suppose it has a little to do with people being reminded of auras,” says Dr. Christoph Simon, PhD, one of the authors of the study and a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy in the Faculty of Science. “It is a fact that living beings glow. It’s a very weak glow, but it’s there and visible with very sensitive cameras.” According to the study, the light involved is extremely weak, ranging from 10 to 1,000 photons per square centimetre per second across a spectral range of 200 to 1,000 nanometres. For comparison, a nanometre is one-billionth of a metre and is commonly used to measure wavelengths of light. Detecting emissions at such low levels requires highly specialized equipment. To study the phenomenon, researchers used electron-multiplying charge-coupled device (EMCCD) and charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras. These imaging systems are designed to detect extremely small amounts of light, including individual photons, while minimizing background noise. The technology allowed researchers to capture signals that would otherwise be impossible to observe. The team worked with the Human Health Therapeutics Research Centre at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) in Ottawa to examine photon emissions in mice. Researchers took two-hour exposure images of the animals before and after death and compared the results. “We saw that the level of light that they emit – this biophoton glow – is distinctly different between living and dead animals,” says Dr. Daniel Oblak, PhD, an associate professor in Physics and Astronomy and the corresponding author of the study. The images showed a clear decrease in photon emissions after death across the entire body of each mouse. According to the researchers, this provided direct evidence that living and dead tissue produce different levels of ultraweak photon emission. “It’s a very small amount and it’s, of course, very tricky to detect,” Oblak says. The study grew out of discussions between Simon, whose research interests include quantum biology, and Oblak, whose work focuses on detecting light for quantum communication experiments. Quantum biology is a field that explores whether processes described by quantum physics, which studies matter and energy at very small scales, may also play a role in living systems. “Since I work as a quantum physicist on light detection for quantum communication, I thought that experimentally we have a lot of the tools to be able to detect the light,” Oblak explains. The researchers also investigated UPE in plants and found that the light changed in response to stress. When plants were exposed to higher temperatures or physically injured, their photon emissions increased. Chemical treatments also affected the glow. Among the substances tested, the local anesthetic benzocaine produced the strongest emission response when applied to injured plant tissue. These findings suggest that ultraweak photon emission is closely linked to biochemical and metabolic activity inside living organisms. Metabolism refers to the chemical reactions that allow cells and organisms to stay alive and function. Because these reactions change when an organism experiences stress, injury or disease, researchers believe UPE may provide a way to monitor those changes. The researchers stress that the glow is a physical and biological phenomenon, not a metaphysical one. Oblak says more research is needed to understand exactly how the light is produced and what information it may reveal about the condition of living tissue. “We must understand what that is to figure out what’s happening,” he says. “If we can understand how that relates to certain influences on the body – stress, diseases – then that could be used as a diagnostic tool.” The researchers believe the technique could eventually help scientists study health and disease without invasive procedures. Because UPE can be measured without adding dyes, markers or labels, it may offer a way to monitor whether tissue is healthy, damaged or alive. In plants, it could help researchers better understand how organisms respond to injury, heat and other forms of stress. While the work is still in its early stages, the study demonstrates that ultraweak photon emission imaging can provide a non-invasive and label-free way to observe biological activity. Researchers say the approach could become a useful tool for studying vitality, stress responses and other important processes in both animals and plants.

Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.15.2393 Beta 2 changelog: Add RISC-V 64 support to UEFI:NTFS Improve the guards for using the "silent" option Improve the ability to cancel during write retries Improve progress reporting for compressed image extraction Fix unrestricted XML entity expansion and integer overflow in ezxml parser (courtesy of @esadowski4) [GHSA-55r2-34wg-8mv9] Fix "silent" Windows installation failing at 75% in most cases [#2960] Fix a crash during boot when using UEFI:NTFS on Snapdragon X based ARM64 platforms [#2934] Fix the first WUE option always being checked by default [#2965] Fix an infinite loop when using Windows ISOs that contain multiple WIMs Fix "Enable runtime UEFI media validation" checkbox not always being properly enabled Other WUE improvements/fixes for OneDrive removal and username validation (with thanks to @christian8641) [#2984, #2991] Download: Rufus 4.15 Beta 2 | 1.9 MB (Open Source) Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Tixati 3.43

      By Copernic · Posted

      Tixati 3.43 by Razvan Serea Tixati is a free and easy to use BitTorrent client featuring detailed views of all seed, peer, and file transfer properties. Also included are powerful bandwidth charting and throttling capabilities, and a full DHT implementation. Tixati is one of the most advanced and flexible BitTorrent clients available. And unlike many other clients, Tixati contains NO SPYWARE, NO ADS, and NO GIMMICKS. Tixati portable version is meant to run on a USB flash drive or other portable media. It stores all its configuration files in the same folder as the executable binary files, and all file paths are stored in a format relative to the program executable folder. It is important you do not delete the "tixati_portable_mode.txt" file within the executables folder. This file is what triggers Tixati to run in portable mode. (The executable binaries are actually the same as the standard edition binaries.) When running the portable edition from a USB flash drive, especially one that is formatted in FAT16/FAT32, you may experience some lag when initially loading a new transfer. This is because initializing and allocating large files on flash-based media consumes a greater amount of time and resources compared to a conventional hard-drive. Tixati has the following features: detailed views of all aspects of the swarm, including peers, pieces, files, and trackers support for magnet links, so no need to download .torrent files if a simple magnet-link is available super-efficient peer choking/unchoking algorithms ensure the fastest downloads peer connection encryption for added security full DHT (Distributed Hash Table) implementation for trackerless torrents, including detailed message traffic graphs and customizable event logging advanced bandwidth charting of overall traffic and per-transfer traffic, with separate classification of protocol and file bytes, and with separate classification of outbound traffic for trading and seeding highly flexible bandwidth throttling, including trading/seeding proportion adjustment and adjustable priority for individual transfers and peers bitfield graphs that show the completeness of all downloaded files, what pieces other peers have available, and the health of the overall swarm customizable event logging for each download, and individual event logs for all peers within the swarm expert local file management functions which allow you to move files to a different partition even while downloading is still in progress 100% compatible with the BitTorrent protocol Windows and Linux-GTK native versions available Tixati 3.43 changelog: Several major DHT improvements Added several screening heuristics to filter malicious DHT nodes, prevent Sybil floods Rewrote DHT search algorithms to add support for multi-path lookups Improved DHT logging, more details in several error
