I don't see anything wrong with the explanation for the statue. What would have been a better explanation for the statue being destroyed?

My guesses were either the nuclear bomb or a natural disaster like an earthquake or something...

Earthquake in my mind was how it was destroyed but heh its happened now :p, its been over 100 years why should I harp on about it :p

Couldn't it be possible that the statue is just much more hollow than it appears. Although it still doesn't explain how the Black Rock ends up in the middle of the jungle undamaged.

Maybe a flash through time happened the moment the boat crashed?

*tempted to reply*

oh shoot...

we haven't seen the front of the black rock afaik so it could be ****ed

Yeh some sort of bomb, war, earthquake, plane or almighty god gesture. A wooden boat smashing through a statue that big was just a bit meh - seemed more convenient (because they had to show/explain the black rock coming to the Island no matter what) - I'm guessing they didn't have the reason why the statue was smashed when they first wrote about a broken statue.

you know war was always a good one, an ancient war between MIB and Jacob resulted in them pulling down the statue a bit like Saddam in Iraq when they pulled down his statue.

So, back to discussing Lost. If Jacob is infact Angel, would that disappoint any of you?

He is not an angel.

The devil/angel/hell stuff was to explain the island to Ricardo, who was in the 1800s, and a Christian. It is not the 'story'.

Jacob is good, Smokey is evil. That is true. They are not an angel and the devil.

Episode 6.09 Podcast Review

- Possibility of more "storms" will be happening. Storm is a metaphor

- 'The Package' is related to Sun/Jin sideways

- They confirmed there were other people before Richard, hence the Statue

- Confirmed Libby will be back and questions will be answered about her

- Highly likely that Desmond will pop up in the current timeline or the sideways in the next few episodes

- There will be more cop Sawyer/Miles scenes

- Near future, one of the characters will be asking someone whether the MIB can only take the form of dead people, and whether Dave was really or not.. an answer will be provided.

- Possible that MIB is telling the truth, and Jacob is lying..

- Confirmed 'The End' is the season finale title

^^

booo I want to know about the other people!, I am thinking it might be put in the encyclopaedia at the end of season

Pre-ordered my Encyclopaedia the other day! :D

Ok. Richard is the OLD Desmond... Interesting accent they use in spain by the 19th century... I bet that even the spanish ppl nowaday coudlnt understand them. Instead of that, they speak a neutral spanish. The same with the british. Seems like the "captain" was in the new world for a long time, heh. Pretty weird at least.

Despite of all of that, this seems to be the 1st episode that I like (for 10 minutes). More ppl comming (dead or alive) and the big questions remain without any answer. We deal that richard doesnt age, so, wasnt that important to see how he acquire that. Doesnt worth an episode of the last season.

Still not 100% on who is good/bad, hopefully the sucky twist won't be Jacob is bad and Smokey is good, cause that would be sucky (N)

But the scene where Jacob holds Richard underwater...baptism anyone? Or am I just making things up now?

I agree with you, and I also agree with your thoughts on the Jacob and Richard scene......a spoiler used earlier was baptism ("more or less", as in not a proper baptism, but similar in both method and meaning), so I would say that scene pretty much fits the bill of the spoiler mentioned a few pages back.

Haven't been into this thread for ages mate, and even when I do. I don't read spoilers.

With regards to people saying they don't believe the statue could be destroyed by a wooden ship, do you not think maybe the huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge wave (you know, the one that managed to smash the ship into the statues HEAD and then launch/wash it way into the jungle) might have, you know, helped.

As usual, you miss everything.

He wasn't from Spain.

Nestor on the Finale!

That final scene with Richard and Isabella is one of the most devastatingly beautiful moments we?ve ever seen on Lost. Is there any chance they could somehow end up together?

Without giving too much away, I can tell you that as soon as I read that script I was certainly wanting some resolution. And I think there will be some element of resolution for Richard. I can?t say whether or not he has a chance at Isabella, but I just read the season finale and there has been some resolution for my character in a great way. The writers, yet again, just knocked it out of the park with the series finale. You?ll see it as the season progresses, what they?ve come up with is pretty mind-blowing. I?m definitely very fulfilled not just about my character but with the whole show in general. It?s an incredible task and they blew me away with what they come up with.

What can you tell us about the finale?

I got the script late, it was like 10 something at night, and usually I go to bed fairly early because you?ve got to put the kids, but no, I was up at 12:30, pouring through it, reading pieces of it again. There?s a lot of tight security as far as scripts?we all have to be there when they?re delivered, but I was really, really, thrilled to get it, and again, just blown away with what they wrote. I?m anxious for people to see it and we?re in the process of shooting it now.

There?s going to be major heartbreak, there?s going to be some very emotional stuff coming down the pike. But the emotional stuff, the payoff will be great. When you see it, and as I read it, it made complete sense what they were doing, and they?re doing it in such a beautiful way, what it needs to be. And again, without giving away too much, I think people will be fulfilled even as they may be crying.

Interesting accent they use in spain by the 19th century... I bet that even the spanish ppl nowaday coudlnt understand them. Instead of that, they speak a neutral spanish.

No, it was pretty much proper Spanish. No problem understanding any of it. Didn't speak it with any accent either. Sounded very fluent/native.

I was surprised at how good an actor he really is. This episode totally showcased his talents.

So in the flash sideways, does that mean that MiB was drowned with the island and didn't escape in to the world, hence why all the losties' lives are so much better?

It was a good episode but I thought the extended footage of MiB and Jacob did remove some of their mystique, their introduction in season 5 was incredible.

Also, I wonder what MiB meant when he said Jacob stole his body, anyone have any ideas?

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
    • Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AMD, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, and several others have been developing their own chips for AI infrastructure. However, NVIDIA still remains the dominant player in the market. Today, Qualcomm announced a major expansion of its data center infrastructure portfolio to better compete with NVIDIA. The new lineup includes the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU, Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute technology, the Dragonfly AI300 inference accelerator, new connectivity products, and custom silicon solutions. Qualcomm claims that this new lineup improves performance per watt, token throughput, and total cost of ownership for AI data centers. The Dragonfly C1000 is a new data center CPU built with Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores. This chip will feature more than 250 cores, frequencies above 5GHz, and a chiplet-based design. Qualcomm claims that this new C1000 can deliver more than 2x better performance per watt compared to existing server CPU offerings based on specifications. The Dragonfly C1000 will support PCIe Gen 7 with more than 2TB/s of connectivity, along with CXL, advanced RAS features, and both air and liquid cooling. Qualcomm expects the Dragonfly C1000 to be commercially available in 2028. Additionally, Qualcomm and Meta announced a multi-year, multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm will supply Dragonfly C1000 data center CPUs for Meta’s next-generation server fleet. Qualcomm also announced High Bandwidth Compute, a new near-memory computing architecture designed to address AI’s memory bandwidth bottleneck. HBC Gen 1 will debut with the Dragonfly AI250, which is expected to sample in mid-2027. The AI250 will deliver 133TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth compared to the AI200 with LPDDR5X. The new Dragonfly AI300 with HBC Gen 2 is a rack-level AI inference platform from Qualcomm. Qualcomm claims that the AI300 can deliver 4x to 8x better performance per watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures based on memory bandwidth per watt per card. The Dragonfly AI300 is expected to be available in 2028.
