no I just dont like the direction this season is going...I have enjoyed all seasons before this with spoilers read

That's because NOTHING was answered (NOT much anyway) in the past seasons. This season they answer SO much.

Spoilers DO CHANGE perspectives.

i think he was referring to daniel, getting him the list. i think he connected that everything thats happened lately is with people who he was on the flight with, so he wants to bring it to daniel to go with his bomb theory. plus it looks like whatevers special about him let more of his thoughts/memories slip between the parallel timelines or something...maybe enough passed to get him some extra info on his 'happy/normal' side

thanks, but it still confuses the hell out of me. Maybe I should rewatch the episode later tonight..

why dont you stop harping on about the spoilers because when I say they dont change my views they dont change my views, I said it before I have read spoilers to all shows and still enjoy them sometimes even more when reading them so its certainly not that at all.

It's a fact a lot people hate spoilers that ruins their enjoyment in the end... I don't mind spoiler either on things we know what's gonna happen due to Comic and prequel/sequel knowledge like Star Wars, Smallville kind of shows/movies. We know exact that Superman ends up with Lois and is enemy with Lex Luthor for example. Or that Anakin Skywalker becomes Darth Vader... duels with Obi-wan near Lava...

Lost IS different game though.

Look, I have a CHALLENGE for you. Stop reading Spoilers from now on, if you do that and STILL disappointed by the series Finale then I am wrong! :)

p.s: Also guesses and clues aren't considered Spoilers to me, just something more direct.

A great episode, better than last week's, but not as good as Richards. Eloise knows so much in both timelines. I sure hope we get clarity on how.

Kind of pointless as he's been posting finale rumors and tidbits for a week, at least.

as Mat said to late should of set that challenge beginning of season.

I mean I just don't see how one's mind can be Blown when the person already knows what happens pretty much while watching it. It might blow you when you read about it for a while, but effect is definitely not the same as watching it without knowing.

remember the episode where the hatch imploded and desmond turned the key? I read what was going to happen a few weeks before got to the episode and that to this day remains my all time favourite episode of lost because a) the episode was better then the spoilers made out and b) my mind was blown

A great episode, better than last week's, but not as good as Richards. Eloise knows so much in both timelines. I sure hope we get clarity on how.

After watching this episode, I came to the conclusion that these are not in fact Flash Alternatives, but more of a Mask, ala The Matrix.

Eloise knows exactly what's going on. By finding Penny, Desmond has now opened Pandora's Box. I think Desmond now knows both "time lines" but only the Desmond that's back at the island. This episode was pretty epic and I loved it.

Rappy: I'm not sure the reason why you're not liking it, but I don't think you're paying enough attention or something. There are so many small bits of information that it's almost ridiculous. My favorite episode is still the Constant.

Anyway, what's the deal with Sayid? Is the Virus/Flock REALLY controlling him?

I know all about spoilers effect.

Like when I read Star Wars spoilers back in the haydays, you expect MORE when you read about something really cool, and when it wasn't more you feel more disappointed. All these little tidbits, and information that seem cool made you get too imaginative how it's going to be but then, it's not the same as you thought it was gonna be...

Anyway, what's the deal with Sayid? Is the Virus/Flock REALLY controlling him?

Pretty obvious: he's been claimed. The same thing happened to Russo's people back in the 80s. They're loyal to a fault to the man in black, corrupted, sick, etc etc. This was well established when Sayid killed Dogan weeks ago.

oh I pay alot of attention to everything I watch sometimes to much but I just feel this season is feeling like a filler season and not a final season like if someone said to me Season 7 is being made and its the last I would say oh that's good then this season means something. Just my 2 cents really to how I feel not everything can please everyone :)

Hmmm, so it's safe to assume that Flock/Smokey desperately wants Desmond on his side?

Well, that's why Sayid was sent to the island, lol. He was supposed to get "the package" aka Desmond.

Why does Desmond seem all happy go lucky now. Sayid ninjas the crew then goes come with me and Desmond just like sure thing brutha. I mean Sayid is all stone cold, 'I feel nothing' but Desmond is almost like the opposite.

Simple. He now knows he is the most important person in the island.

Well, that's why Sayid was sent to the island, lol. He was supposed to get "the package" aka Desmond.

Well, if Smokey gets to control Desmond that would be Interesting... know what I mean?

...

Des maybe the gateway to ESCAPE into the sideway world for MIB/Smokey/Flocke

...

Possible but doubtful. All of the people in the island believe there is choice. It's painfully obvious that choice is a mask for something else and Desmond knows this now.

Your second part is interesting. I didn't think of that.I think if he is, it isn't in a literal sense. They need bearings to leave the island, so Desmond might have to talk to Faraday or Eloise in the other time line to get those bearings. Without new bearings, they can't leave. (Unless Whidmore already has them)

People who read all those spoilers forfeit the right to complain about the plot or this filler nonsense IMO. In doing so they are not experiencing the show unfold as it's meant to be experienced. It's like reading a book. Do you wanna read the book itself or the Cliff Notes version? There's other things to appreciate in a show like this such as the characterization, acting, cinematography, etc but any way you put it impressions of the plot and story will be heavily influenced by the spoilers you read. That's all I have to say about that.

I know NOTHING, but here are 10 Things I hope for in the Series Finale.

1) All the actors from the Pilot in it!!!

2) Acting is Emmy-Worthy very passionate and stunning performances!

3) Plot is Suspenseful/Dramatic, never boring in ANY moment!

4) An Epic if not Mind-blowing plot make you go "OMG" a few times.

5) Some great Action too

6) An Epic Climatic Exit/Death/Resolution for Smokey

7) Jate Forever, sorry Skaters :)

8 )Sun & Jin & Daughter reunite

9) Desmond and Penny Happily Ever After

10)Love conquers ALL...AKA Live Together, Die Alone!!!

:D

There's gonna be some bad reactions happening in the alt timeline if Desmond starts doing to the losties what Charlie did to him. Alt Claire will see that she's gone nuts and same with Sayid. Jack is lost and he doesn't have his son. Hurley is wandering an island talking to dead people. Kate is chasing a crazy lady around trying give the kid back.

Desmond would have to do something else. Charlie was trying to get to the point of death. He wasn't trying to show Desmond anything, but he had actually become an addict to a new drug. I didn't realize that until later on in the episode, but he wasn't hoping he would die, but just wanted to experience "love" again. Faraday is just a genius, so he somewhat realized what could be happening and was given further evidence by Desmond looking for Penny.

Desmond on the other hand saw his real life.

    • Microsoft further improving Windows 11 Taskbar with latest builds by Sayan Sen Microsoft has released new Windows 11 builds for users flighting the Experimental channels. The new builds are 26300.8758 for Windows 11 26H2, 28120.2374 for 26H1, and 29617.1000 for future platforms. There are improvements related to the Taskbar, File Explorer and more with the new update. The full changelogs are given below: First we have the build 26300.8758: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Taskbar] Taskbar customization just got easier. As we continue to make improvements to the Taskbar experience mentioned last month, we've introduced a dedicated Taskbar Size setting, making it simpler to find, understand, and personalize your ideal taskbar experience. 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. [Remote Recovery Management] Added a recovery remote management plug-in to extend WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers. [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. ../images/zoom.png Enter an exact percentage or jump to preset steps —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. ../images/screentint.png 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. [Display and Graphics] Improves the reliability and persistence of applying color profiles. You can view the official blog posts here (link1, link2, link3) on Microsoft's site.
