Is the reason Michael couldn't kill himself in previous seasons because of Jacob? It seems like you can't commit suicide rather than dying - obviously with Jack lighting the fuse and staying there it stopped it going off. We can assume if Jack had left, Richard would be in little bits.

Yeah...ummm...no.

Hurley is the only one who can talk to dead people. Everyone on the island has seen someone who shouldn't have been there at some point, but thats either the island or MIB's doing.

Sayid does not have a gfit of not dying. He died, it was explained pretty clearly last episode by Miles.

Jins gift is not being able to impregnate people :p He had a medical condition which the island healed.

Claire gave birth to her baby because she didn't get pregnant on the island.

Kate and Sawyer don't have gifts.

Miles can listen to the dead, he can't talk to them.

Richard clearly states when Jacob's touches you he gives you a gift.

Ok maybe Island heals the candidates. But Jacob definitely gives candidates gifts. I don't why it did heal

But Sayid did not die he is still alive and only one of candidates can kill him.

Sawyer definitely has gift because he could see the boy but Richard could not see the boy. He also could also see Kate's horse. I really doubt miles and hurley talking, seeing, or listening is coincidence.

Sawyer definitely has gift because he could see the boy but Richard could not see the boy.

I dont think thats anything to do with sawyer, The boy was behind richard as flocke stood there looking confused, it took a few for richard to turn around. Sawyer looked almost straight away.

But Flocke was suprised that Sawyer could see him. Then Flocke acted like he did see the boy afterwards.

I think you're taking Richard too literally. Its not a single touch and bam, you have a cool bag full of magic tricks. Jacob asked Richard and he said yes, so he gave him his gift. The only ones who have actual gifts are Miles, Hurley and Richard, and apart from Richard, we don't know where they got them from.

Unless I'm mistaken, it also healed Rose, and shes not a candidate.

Sayid is dead, hes evil Sayid now. :p I don't consider him any different than Christian really. And who said only a candidate can kill him?

As I said, plenty of people on this island have seen things they shouldn't have, Sawyer seeing young Jacob is no different.

You certainly have astute powers of observation.

lol. :p

I know this has already been said but I am can't get my mind past it.

Is Fake Locke, Flocke, Man in Black, Esau, Smokey (call him what you want) the same person as Jacob? That has to be the big twist. There is so much evidence to support the theory. The showdown will be Whdmore vs this guy. Two sides, good vs evil.

Crack pot theory right here!!!!

No, not the same person. :p How could he be talking to himself? :p

I think Locke versus Jack would make more sense.

No, not the same person. :p How could he be talking to himself? :p

Is God Schizophrenic?

Ask any Christian why they believe God will torment people forever, and you’ll usually get the response, “God loves all men, but He is also just.” While it is certainly true that God is both love and justice, modern theology perverts both of these wonderful attributes of God by creating a dualistic natured god—a god incapable of loving and executing His justice at the same time.

But Flocke was suprised that Sawyer could see him. Then Flocke acted like he did see the boy afterwards.

I think when flocke said "what boy" it was meant to be sarcastic

because he knew sawyer was talking to someone and when asked said "no one"

as for flocke being supprised at sawyer seeing the boy I think it may be down to flocke thinking he is imagining things.

Uh ....I think your wrong.

Flock obviously knows who the boy is. I don't think he wants to let sawyer now who the boy is. When the boy says you know the rules you can't kill him I don't think he was refering to Jacob.

Did anyone watch the "pop-up video" repeat of last week. Some really interesting things were mentioned. When Dogen told Sayid "He will appear as someone you know, someone who is dead" the pop up mentioned all of the other "people" that have been seen on the island:

  • Jack and Claire saw their father
  • Hurley saw Dave
  • Ben saw Alex

I think that pretty much confirms Christian, and Alex were actually MIB/Smokey.

I also think it's funny that Dave was MIB, because he tried to convince Hurley to jump off the side of a cliff because the island was all in his imagination. This means MIB knew Hurley was important and wanted him dead.

At the very end of the episode, the pop up said "Widmore told Locke a war was starting on the island, and if he didn't return the wrong side would win... This is the first time Kate has seen the resurrected Locke, and she knows he's on the wrong side." Interesting that Widmore never mentioned that Locke had to be alive when he went back to the island.

That is a great point, and further pushes my own theory that the MIB has been 'pushing' these characters from the very beginning. Also, this week's episode helps my theory of characters following similar paths on and off the island (flash sideways). So far the only character that has not followed similar paths if Locke/MIB.

Smokey and Jacob are the same person would be a crazy Twist!

I'm betting it. It has to be. Go back and watch the scene where MIB and Jacob are on the beach. Not once do you see them in the same shot. They are the same character and they are playing the audience. It's a game, we a part of the game. Yes, I might be wrong but they are building it up to be an epic twist and my gut tells me this has something to do with it.

What do you mean you dont see MIB and Jacob in the same shot on the beach?

you clearly see him walking up to Jacob and him walking infront of jacob. Both in the same scene.

    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.

    • Microsoft Weekly: 5 years of Windows 11, more support for Windows 10, and expensive Xbox by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year of support, Windows 11 getting new taskbar settings in preview updates, Steam Machine prices, higher XBOX prices, and many more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. On June 24, 2026, Windows 11 turned five. The controversial operating system was released half a decade ago, and during these years, it received a fair share of criticism (such as poor Windows Search and its web results), which Microsoft is now actively addressing with regular preview updates that deliver missing, long-requested features. With Windows 12 nowhere to be seen on the horizon, it will be interesting to see if Windows 11 can stay on the market for as long as Windows 10 did. Speaking of Windows 10 and staying on the market, this week, Microsoft quietly prolonged the Extended Security Updates program for Windows 10, allowing users to get one more year of security updates if they do not want or cannot upgrade to Windows 11. Finally, Microsoft released this month's non-security update for Windows 11. KB5095093 arrived with a traditionally long list of new features, including point-in-time restore, new Windows Update settings, quieter Windows Widgets, new accessibility features, File Explorer updates and performance improvements, and more. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Build 29617.1000 and build 28120.2374 These builds bring new accessibility features, new Windows Update controls, audio improvements, and more. Dev Channel Build 26300.8758 This build includes redesigned taskbar settings, File Explorer improvements, and more. Beta Channel Build 26220.8754 and build 28020.2366 This small update fixes the OneDrive bug in File Explorer, tweaks system sounds in dark mode, and more. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. If you use AI-powered browsing history search in Microsoft Edge, the company has bad news. A new update on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap revealed that Microsoft is discontinuing the feature. Despite using on-device models for natural search, some users found it creepy, claiming that Microsoft lacks trust in features like this. While the ability to find pages without using 100% precise words may sound cool, customers argued that it was nothing but another feature to bloat the browser with more AI. Good riddance? PowerToys received several updates this week. For one, Microsoft released version 0.100.1 with several improvements and bug fixes for the recently arrived version 0.100. A couple of days later, Microsoft dropped another update, this time fixing memory leaks in Command Palette Dock. In addition, the company is working on a new module that will make it easier to switch between windows within one application using the Alt + ` shortcut. The new module should make it to the stable release somewhere soon. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: New Ventoy update adds Windows 11's mandatory update support and more Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with chat cost tracking and multi-agent chats Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" Microsoft adds new AI study and teaching tools for free to Microsoft 365 Education Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams Microsoft's fast coding model, MAI-Code-1-Flash, comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.2 with FSR 4.1 support for RDNA 3 graphics card. However, the driver contained a bug, which prevented installations on Windows 10 PCs. AMD fixed that with a quick hotfix update. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week This week, Steven Parker published several reviews. He shared his experience with the Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe, a high-quality sound card with a headphone amp, low-latency communications, great build quality, and DSD256. However, it is on the pricier side of the spectrum, and it lacks EMI shielding. Check out the full review here. The second review is about the TerraMaster F4-425 Pro, an octa-core Intel NAS with a stand-out feature: built-in AI (OpenClaw). We also published a few Hands On reviews, which you can view below: We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on Hands-on with BOOX Tappy: cute little reading accessory Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25 affordable ergonomic mouse On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. If you plan to purchase a new Xbox, it's time to act now. This week, Microsoft announced yet another Xbox price increase. Starting August 1, 2026, all Xbox Series X|S models with 512 GB of storage will cost $100 more. As for the 1TB models, they are going up in price by a whopping $150. Finally, Microsoft is discontinuing the 2TB Xbox Series X. To make up for that, Microsoft announced a few programs to make its consoles more accessible. Those include BNPL, interest-free financing, pre-owned consoles, certified refurbished consoles, and more. Valve also shared some not-so-welcome news. The company has finally announced prices of the upcoming Steam Machine console, and if you plan to buy one, get ready to spend a whopping $1,049 on the 512GB configuration. The Steam Machine is now available for preorder, with shipments scheduled for June 29, 2026. Grand Theft Auto VI also received its official price tag. Rockstar Games announced that the long-anticipated game will launch at $79.99 for the base edition and $99.99 for the ultimate edition. The latter includes an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Those who preorder the game will get extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. NVIDIA announced new games for its GeForce NOW streaming service. Those include Dark Scrolls, SAND: Raiders of Sophie, Deer & Boy, EMPULSE, and more. Steam is running its annual Summer Sale, during which you can purchase plenty of various games with big discounts. It runs until July 9, so in case you missed it, you can still get some games at a lower price. Also, you can get two games for free in the Epic Games Store, plus more deals are available in this week's Weekend PC Game Deals issue.
