Maybe that's more proof that what had emerged from the fountain was not Jacobs brother in any sense other than Smokey using his image to manipulate Jacob. In that case his real brother only had a small part in the story so the writers considered him less significant of a character.

WHO's voice said "help me" in the Creepy Jacob's Cabin?

Locke's?

Some fans are a little blunter with their thoughts. On Jensen's Totally 'Lost' blog, one poster fired off the “Simpsons”-inspired insult, "Worst. Episode. Ever." Then six comments later, another poster retorted with, "Best. Episode. Ever."

:D

Also,?Isabella is a smokie (I presume thats how she ravaged the settlement and filled up the wells). But, she was killed quite easily. So, whats the secret to killing a smokie?

Uh, that wasn't Isabella.

'Mother' never was given a name.

Claudia is Jacob and MiB's birth mother.

Isabella is Richard's wife.

I think the story got too big and convoluted for DL and CC to dig their way out of they introduced so many things in series 2 and 3 not knowing how long the show was going to run for theres no way they can possibly answer everything, what i dont agree with is their attitude on what they think that we should want to know, it should be the other way round, we should be able to tell them what we want to see and understand. I hate people with big egos.

Agreed with everything in the bold. Honestly, my opinion of the situation is they just needed to keep with the 23-25 episodes per season. Season 4 got ****ed by the writer's strike, but they could have still extended it. When the finale was first announced, I was disappointed in the fact that they weren't "comptlete" seasons in comparison to the first three. This alone would have given us enough episodes to flesh out things we want, but instead they wanted less episodes.

So be honest, from multiple people's point of view, is the show worth starting to watch now? I've never seen an episode but I like JJ Abrams' work and I'm curious about Lost. I have done this in the past...waited till a show ran it's course and then went back to watch it from beginning to end in my free time.

You wait till there are 3 episodes left to ask if its worth it?

Yes its worth it

Absolutely. The pain has and always will be (until it ends) waiting for the next episode/season and speculating with people what is going to happen. Wait another week and a half and enjoy the full ride non-stop. If you have questions, just wait until the end and then hit up http://www.lostpedia.com

Think a family member has the Seasons on DVD so putting them in the ole' PS3 would upconvert them, no? If not, I'm sure they'll still look decent. Otherwise, it is off to "other" sources shiftyninja.gif

I'd go with the other sources myself, but I plan on buying the whole series on Blu-Ray once it's all said and done. If it's Widescreen DVD, give a few episodes a whirl and then decide.

You can stream Lost from Hulu, or from ABCs website for HD. Thats how I caught up on the first 3 seasons when I started watching Lost.

I just finished listening to Jorge Garcia's Podcast (Geronimo Jack's Beard) on Across the Sea and he revealed a few things

- we're never going to find out the origin of the island is

- we're never going to find out what the light is

- we're never going to find out how the donkey wheel works (aside from channeling the water and the light)

- the reason the mother killed the real mother and stole her kids is the same reason the others stole children...to keep them pure (and her destroying the village mirrors the purge)

I'm going to take these with a grain of salt because he always sounds like he's half joking but I wouldn't be disappointed if they're true

He also kind of gave away what the entire show is about which is kind of interesting and makes a lot of sense looking back at the show

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com AI companies often rely on readily available internet content to train their chatbots and provide users with instant answers. This method of AI training is fast and relatively inexpensive, but using a website’s content without permission or compensation is not something publishers like to see, and this is exactly why Microsoft and OpenAI are now being sued. As reported by Bloomberg, a group of publishers that collectively own nearly 400 newspapers has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft. The coalition argues that the two companies scraped their content to build AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Copilot without paying any compensation. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, argues that while AI products have generated billions of dollars in market value using publishers’ work, none of that value has been shared with the publishers. The plaintiffs are seeking statutory damages and injunctive relief for alleged copyright infringement and violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. “Defendants systematically and secretly crawled the Publishers’ websites—including content behind paywalls and other access restrictions—and copied the Publishers’ articles, stories, and other original works onto their own servers without authorization,” the complaint states. The publishers also described the AI boom as a “death knell for local journalism” if AI companies that scrape content for free are not held accountable. Former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and his law firm, Platkin LLP, are representing the publishers. “Our models empower innovation, are trained on publicly available data, and are grounded in fair use,” OpenAI spokesperson Drew Pusateri told Bloomberg. This is not the first lawsuit involving the unauthorized use of publishers’ content by AI firms, but it is one of the largest coalitions ever formed against the free use of content by AI chatbots. In 2024, OpenAI and Microsoft also faced a similar lawsuit from eight newspapers that claimed AI products were benefiting from their content without permission.
