Episode already aired. Most of those are not spoiler questions.

1. He didn't. We just saw Desmond falling... water could have stopped him. Hell, Juliet survived a similar fall. Jacob lending a hand perhaps? He did see that boy, i.e.

young jacob

2. When Charlotte Lewis said "This place is death", she was right. I suppose dead people are trapped just like MIB. Jacob is keeping them there.

3.

young jacob, I think.

4. Plot development?? We know one of them is a candidate... if both of them came together, one might end up dying? Since one isn't necessary for the Island.

5. To get the spinal surgery by Jack. Remember in a previous episode he offered to help him. Desmond is probably making that happen.

6. They're protected by the fence.

1. No reference of Jacob lending a hand, it's a TV show, falls like that don't kill people.

2. Hurley saw dead people off the island, it's just a common theory that people with unfinished business or unsettled ghosts still inhabit this world after they die, I don't think it has anything to do with Jacob either.

3. Me too.

4. That doesn't make sense, they aren't together just because of the way things have gone, not because if they came together one would have to die...

5. That is a theory a lot of people seem to think, but I find it senseless, Des didn't know about Jack offering to help Locke or any of that. I prefer the theory that MiB's escape would be to alternate reality and since he is stuck as Locke then he would escape into alternate Locke's body, so Des is trying to kill alternate Locke...

6.Yep, and no one knows yet what Witmore has to do with anything but it might just be the theory I pointed out above.

2. Hurley saw dead people off the island, it's just a common theory that people with unfinished business or unsettled ghosts still inhabit this world after they die, I don't think it has anything to do with Jacob either.

Either way, they are trapped. Only explanation so far of someone being trapped on the Island is MIB. So, same theory can be applied to the ghosts as well. If you died on the Island, you're probably stuck just like MIB because of whatever Jacob did to keep him there.

4. That doesn't make sense, they aren't together just because of the way things have gone, not because if they came together one would have to die...

Well, people are going to die. I think either one of them will. No happy ending :p Just my theory

5. That is a theory a lot of people seem to think, but I find it senseless, Des didn't know about Jack offering to help Locke or any of that. I prefer the theory that MiB's escape would be to alternate reality and since he is stuck as Locke then he would escape into alternate Locke's body, so Des is trying to kill alternate Locke...

We'll see soon enough.

Got to see the episode, an hour later than I originally planned as my assumption on air time was off, but I saw it nonetheless and loved it. I like some of the ideas being tossed around on here as well. Keep it up (Y)

I think MiB is already in Locke's body in the other timeline. Think about it: He influenced Ben-2 (alternate timeline Ben) into trying to be in charge. And being in charge means being in a position of power. Ben-2's position of power would've been school principal had he not seen the e-mail. If you remember, MiB Locke-1 wanted Ben-1 to be in charge of the island. That meant staying back after everyone leaves. Also, MiB Locke-2 referred to himself as "the substitute". Could that be a reference of him replacing the original Locke? Perhaps. From what we've seen, the new timeline is connected with the old one (as indicated by the returning memories). Of course, my theory will be blown out of the water if Locke-2 starts remembering things.

And damn, it took awhile to catch up. I stopped watching the show after the 1st season. I'm all caught up now. :)

Wow, great episode. The death was totally wtf though. I kinda expected it to happen though when she grabbed the bag full of the explosives. Couple of nice answers.

And all this about Desmond running Locke over... wasn't that just to get Locke to have a near-death experience like Desmond and Charlie and remember his island life.

She is so STUPID. People keep warning her about the explosives, but she ignores them. LOL

Just before I explain how much time is being wasted in this season I do agree this weeks episode and last weeks were very good. A few answers this episode but the whispers answer didn't seem the best, kind of unexpected but maybe that is just me. It seems this season so much time has been wasted with scenes of the group just talking in the jungle about where they are going to go next, or how they leave to walk through the jungle to the place they are heading but it takes nearly a whole episode to get their and when they finally do arrive in the last few minutes of the episode their is a big 'wow!' moment and the episode ends. It doesn't feel like the final season, and definitely not like the final episodes of the show.

Building up Ilana's character then killing her in a split second was kinda odd but I guess nobody even liked her anyway

. Still I love lost and love most of these episodes but it's not feeling like the last season. Only Richard's episode felt fulfilling out of this season.

Woah. Trying to digest that episode. So many moments to pick up on. Since maybe the Side-ways and the actually timeline seem to be having similarties, maybe Desmond trying to kill Locke can stop the MiB. Locke's life couldn't get much worse :laugh:

I dont think ghost Michael was MIB, Michael pointed to lock/MIB down in the distance as Hurley needed to know where he was, so he pointed him out and you could see him walking with his Torch in the distance.

Another giveaway was Lockes expression when he say Hurley for the first time... it was almost as if he didnt expect them there.

<br />we will agree to disagree, that along with SOS and Nikki/Paulos episode are the worst episodes ever<br />

Please don't shoot me, but I loved Expose. The ending was wtf and the entire episode was entertaining. It was course-correction for the show and they did it in style.

Also, am I not the only one who is unsatisfied with the explanation dished out for the whispers. I kind of wish it was a side-effect of time travel and stuff as it was theorotised in the past, instead of just souls trapped in the island. Hopefully, future episodes will shed more light on this issue.

Ilana's death was awesome, but kind of dissapointed how she never really managed to achieve something. I was confident that she is gonna turn out to be really important.

<br />I'm always so excited to watch the show and every time I do it's the same damn thing.. i'm left feeling like "wtf just happened".??I'm just not piecing this together.. I need to find a website or something that explains wtf is going on cause i'm very "lost".<br /><br />Here are a few of my questions.. maybe someone can help me out.<br /><br />

1.??Why did smoke/locke kill desmond?

<br />

2.??What the **** are the voices.. people that are trapped???What did Michael do to be trapped.??He made reference that he was there because of what he did.

<br />

3.??What's up with the kid that locke seen, that made him quite upset.

<br />

4.??Someone had mentioned this before in this thread but never explained it, why are Jin and Sun not able to be together?

<br />

5.??Why did desmond hit locke with his car???I didn't get this at all.

<br />

6.??Wtf does widmore have to do with anything.??If he made it to the island, why can't smokie kill them all and hop in the sub.

<br /><br /><br />that's it for now.. i'm soo confused...lol<br />

Check out Erica's recaps if you feel confused about what happened in a episode. They are pretty good.

oh dear :rofl: your forgiven because you like other shows I like :p

First half was boring but i got goosebumps once

hurley remembered libby and another question solved seems that the whispers are the souls/essence of dead people who are still holding onto something, at first i thought all the whispers were the dead people who were evil which would tie into them being trapped on the island like MiB who is also evil but people who arent evil like Jacob have also appeared to him, but then the whispers dont happen a lot so it still could be that the whispers are the souls of people who have done bad/wrong on the island, also poor ilana halfway through speaking and BOOM vaporised, i couldnt help but laugh

, lost makes my brain hurt.

I like better when locke take desmond to that hole. Make me laught hard too. The whole thing, I meam, desmond was like he was in love, with the life, penny and stuff and suddenly he ends in that hole with the locke evil face, HAHA. He was in love and he finally "face" the reality, LOL

    • 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.
