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?

UI showing the new Taskbar Size setting in Settings. We've also made refinements to the transitions between taskbar sizes for a smoother overall experience. [File Explorer] We've improved the reliability of thumbnail previews for cloud files in the Details pane. The pane has also been reorganized so file properties are easier to find and review at a glance. Fixed an issue where the OneDrive shortcut in File Explorer stops working when File Explorer is run in administrative mode. Fixed an issue where the confirmation dialog might display an internal Recycle Bin file name instead of the original file name when permanently deleting a file. [Sounds] Improved system sounds when using Windows in dark mode. Up next we have build 28120.2374: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out This update includes a small set of general improvements and fixes [Mobile Device Settings] You can add and manage your mobile devices in Settings under Bluetooth & Devices > Mobile Devices. On this page, you can manage features such as using your device as a connected camera or accessing your device's files in File Explorer.

[Input] The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of the Tenor API. Finally we have the changelog for Windows 11 build 29617.1000: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announce blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [Windows Magnifier] Magnifier now gives you more control over how you zoom. You can type an exact zoom percentage directly in the magnifier toolbar to land on precisely the level you need. We've also added preset step increments (5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 150%, 200%, and 400%) to the Settings dropdown, so you can jump to common levels in a single click. Whether you need a subtle boost or a dramatic close-up, Magnifier adapts to how you want to zoom. Enter an exact percentage or jump to preset steps β€”5% up to 400%. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Magnifier. [Accessibility] We're introducing screen tint, a new accessibility setting that applies a color overlay across your entire display, softening its intensity so it's easier on your eyes throughout the day. If bright, saturated screens leave you with tired or sensitive eyes by the end of a long session, screen tint can help. Screenshot showing UI for screen tint in Accessibility, with color presets and a strength slider. To get started, open Settings > Accessibility (or press WIN + U) and look for screen tint under the Vision section. From there, you can: Pick from six preset colors or choose a custom color of your own. Adjust the tint strength slider from a subtle wash to full intensity. Night light warms your display to reduce blue light that can interfere with sleep. Screen tint reduces overall screen intensity to ease eye fatigue and light sensitivity during the day. They tackle different problems and you can use both at the same time, one working on warmth and the other on intensity. Note that turning on screen tint will disable color filters, and vice versa. If you currently rely on color filters, you might need to keep screen tint turned off. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Narrator. [Voice Access] Voice Access now supports Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), and Korean (South Korea). [Audio] Continuing our work on improving Sound Settings, we've made a few more updates in this build: We've adjusted the description text for the Allow option in properties for audio devices to include the current state of the device, to improve the clarity of the text and the purpose of the button actions. "Listen to this device" is now available in properties for audio devices, so you don't need to enter Control Panel for this functionality. [Multiple Desktops] Improved explorer reliability when switching between multiple desktops. [Storage] We've updated the dialog when creating a Dev Drive to now support specifying the size in GB instead of only MB. This has also been added when changing the size of volumes under Settings > System > Storage. [Personalization] This update improves color selection accuracy when adjusting your accent color to match your wallpaper when automatic accent color selection is enabled in Personalization settings. This update improves wallpaper persistence reliability across restarts and upgrades, including better support for large-resolution wallpapers and other scenarios to prevent solid color wallpaper fallback.
