You didn't really expect a major character like Desmond would die in such a small, quick way did you? Even the established depth and existence of water should have supported the notion prior to seeing the previews. Hurt? Yes. Dead? Nah.

Well, they led us to believe that Ilana was a major (or at least an *important*) character, but she ended up doing, well...not much. Killing off Island Desmond may have been interesting if only to see if Widmore had a Plan B (assuming Desmond is a big part of Plan A).

About the well: not sure why they chose to do what they did with the scene setup and sound. With pretty much every Lost article written about the remaining episodes bracing the reader for some major heartbreaks, killing off Desmond would have fit the bill - if only for a week.

As important as Desmond is, to have his life so quickly and suddenly end with the falling in the well is the kind of thing this show doesn't typically do; it's cheap and a cop-out. Desmond has been a somewhat of a crux and he's been setup as the key to stopping the man in black. Establishing the importance of this and then go on to believe for more than a few minutes, if not seconds, that he really could be dead and that's it for him (at least in that timeline) is... well, I can't think of a better word than silly.

Major Plot Spoiler Just messing with Jedi... I guess it could be kind of funny if we can keep it going....at least it will pass the time in between the episodes

Removed the spoiler tag so that "Jedi" can see what you said. If you want to play these silly games, please go elsewhere. In this thread, we discuss Lost Season 6.

NEED TO RESIST reading plot spoilers.

Guys, I said this thousands times now, for the common courtesy of everyone, please tell those that don't mind (like MYSELF) guess/hint spoilers what level of spoiler it is.

Some of these plot/direct spoilers I def. DO NOT WANT to know, but am fine with guesses/hints!

Well guesses/theories aren't classed as spoilers. Hints I'm not too sure, but the promo's should be enough of a "hint". From here on out I'm not reading any spoiler tags, even if they are ones made specifically for Jedi :p (ok they're the last ones I'm reading..)

Yeah, but this show does occasionally pull "a silly". In fact, they did in this same episode - I thought Ilana was going to blow herself up just by the force she was jamming the water bottles into the sack with, with the *unstable dynamite*.

I agree that they've built the Desmond character as having a purpose. But what keeps coming back to me is that Carlton and Damon (and J.J., I guess) have said that they've known how the series would end since the beginning of the series. To me, that means all that they needed to do was to introduce Jacob and MIB when the series's end was in sight and play their story out. Remember, they even intended to kill off Jack in the pilot episode, but ABC vetoed it (IIRC) - so, I'm not convinced that any individual (human) character is important to the end game, just as long as that there are two opposing sides for the finale's start.

Guys, heard of any Internet Red carpet premiere / Web Cast Chat event for Series Finale? There should be one this Finale event ought to be really huge.

Maybe on Lost Facebook page it will have something...

Also, seen any really good Best of Lost Compilations videos including this season?

Alright straight up:

If you're responding to a FREAKIN SPOILER respond in a SPOILER TAG!

This thread has been great this season and other seasons the same but this is getting crazy. I love reading what everyone thinks and even chime in once in a while. But if I see another spoiler not tagged I'm out, just a like a few others.

There's only what 5-6 weeks left, let those of us who want to be surprised have the chance.

Thanks

I tried to avoid them but I think I've seen like 3-4 major spoilers out in the open already.

Everyone dies except maybe a couple of people

One episode has none of the main cast in it

The episode is based on young brothers Jacob and MiB on the island

The mother is someone we have yet to see

mother of who?

I post spoilers but keep them behind tags because its only fair to those who have waited....anyway time for some lolz!

The real reason behind European airspace closure!

Adding a [spoilers] means nothing. The thread has been okay for a while, but people don't want to actually take the time to not spoil it for other people. I'll actively try to avoid the spoilers, but if you can't show the community respect, then why even post?

We're all huge fans. Just because you have no patience doesn't entitle you to spoil it for me.

By golly!

And with that, I don't really care :p

Let her be the first dead candidate!!

I don't really care either tbh just noticed it and thought heh that could go in the lost thread and in it went :p

    • There is a default resolution setting in Settings > Display that can be changed with a click. You can also change the settings on a per-game basis. No CLI needed. Also, Steam has countless games that are not "[perpetual] alpha/beta games", so no need for the straw man. Plus you can use other stores as well. And console games (e.g. PS5) cost a fortune, which itself more than negates the price subsidy on the system, unless you plan on exclusively playing 1 or 2 games. It's true that you shouldn't buy a system that doesn't support the game(s) you want to play, but I think that's kinda obvious, and applies to every console as well as PC. I don't game in the living room and have no need of a Steam Machine, but there is a clear market segment that would find it useful.

RSS Guard 5.2.0 changelog: Added: Feed auto-fetch can now also be delayed while Feral GameMode is active on Linux and startup auto-fetch is skipped when GameMode is already active. (#2265) WebEngine builds can now use RSS Guard generated proxy auto-config (PAC) rules so article/web browsing follows per-account and per-feed proxy settings more closely. (#2273) Generated PAC rules now also cover related subdomains and use Public Suffix List data, so feeds such as feeds.bbc.co.uk can also proxy resources from images.bbc.co.uk. (#2273) Standard feeds can now define extra proxy domains, useful when article images, stylesheets or other page resources are loaded from a CDN or another domain that should use the same feed proxy. (#2273) RSS Guard now asks for proxy credentials when a WebEngine page needs proxy authentication and can fill credentials from the current feed proxy when available. (#2273) Network settings again include an option to ignore all cookies, which clears stored cookies and prevents new cookies from being accepted. Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now individually ignore cookies while downloading feed data. Stored cookies can now be deleted from the Tools menu. Custom skin colors can now override the feed list article count color separately from feed titles, including a separate highlighted color. (#2275) Settings dialog can now search across available settings and highlight matching controls. (#1754) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now optionally be reported as broken when they are valid but contain no articles. (#2039) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now override the application-wide feed connection timeout per feed. (#1023) Tray icon can now use a custom background color and unread-count text color, with an option to reuse the generated icon as the application icon. (#1973) Support for more benevolent parsing of Gemlog entries (#2295). Article list can now show when an article was received by RSS Guard. (#947) Feed deep discovery now actually scrapes all links found in the website and checks if they are feeds or not. This greatly enhances usability of the deep discovery mode and discovers many more feeds than before. (#2306) Search boxes now show a small dot when the feed or article list is hiding some items because of active filtering. (#873) Articles now have a shortcut-assignable action to open the homepage of the feed they belong to. (#2060) Fixed: Parallel feed updates no longer crash when multiple update results are processed at the same time. (64cf521) Links in WebEngine articles opened from feeds such as Kill the Newsletter now open correctly instead of being swallowed by the embedded page. (#2272) Relative article URLs resolution was kinda broken. (#2282) Clicking article URL did not work when the URL had "fragment" set. (#2293) The default proxy setting now uses Qt/system default proxy behavior instead of forcing no proxy. (e0263ad) WebEngine article loading now keeps the current feed context, so feed-specific proxy credentials remain available while the article page loads.
