I was lying in bed thinking about it, and now I get it.

First of all, the "alternate" timeline happened after they had all died, obviously, no confusion there. They made up a new world because they couldn't move on, they were in a state of limbo, then they finally found closure in this place and their souls moved on.

Now, everything else that happened, was real. Crashing on the island, it's mysteries, their adventures, leaving the island, coming back, Jacob, MIB, etc, all real. The real "ending" was Jack stopping & killing MIB, and saving the island. Kate rescued Claire. Hurley became the new boss man, with Ben as his number 2. The rest got off the island or died there. And then eventually, everyone died and ended up in the limbo state explained above. Finito.

Apparently, Lost was not about the island, because we didn't receive any answers to it in the finale, we already knew the light was the "heart" of the island. Lost was about the characters being truly rescued by either escaping the island, saving it, or running it. It's true, we did not get any in-depth "what happened after" closure, but I guess it wasn't about what happened off the island.

They could have made it an epic finale, but I guess it highlights the weakness of the writers. Overall, I enjoyed Lost, the epicness was just an illusion, take it for what it is, a good show.

The only thing that I don't understand is the final shot with the wreckage on the island. But I'm not worrying about that.

Spot on. In answer to your questions, read up, there's an answer to it..

From: http://perezhilton.com/2010-05-25-so-you-want-some-answers-from-lost

making the rounds, here are some answers I think I've got. Give it a shot to! :)

Why did the moster kill the pilot

+ They'd just landed and smokie was obviously nervous about them escaping, also the pilot was clearly not on jacobs list and was therefore dispensible.

What did Locke see when he first saw smokie

+ Typical smokie, just the first time he'd encountered it so he was in awe.

Why did the physic insist she fly and insist she raise the child

+ Assuming the physics legit he saw that she needed to birth the child on the island and follow her destiny

Why did the others want Walt so badly

+ His un-natural power, obviously they'd observed or knew about them and wanted to test him, possibly as a Desmond like power

How does walt know about the hatch and ask Locke not to open it

+ again his powers can sense that he shouldnt unleash Desmond from pushing the button as it ultimately led to lots of trouble for the island

Why are supplies still being dropped on the island

+ The others kept in communication and Ben didn't report back they'd been killed? Plus maybe they wanted the button still pressed

Who triggered the lock down and who made it so the dark florestnt lights come on

+ Clearly part of bens plan

Who triggered the lock down and who made it so the dark florestnt lights come on

+ Clearly part of bens plan

How would that work?? I still want to know if Ben knew about the numbers.

Also besides the point, what was with Kate's horse we saw in season 2?

Those damn physics.

lol I have to admit I'm drinking red wine and coding 5 hours after work ended, excuse my grammar, spelling and mis-types ;p

Does anyone know if there is a Lost OST?

BitTorrent Download Record Shattered By Lost Series Finale

The finale of Lost has shattered all previous download records on BitTorrent. In less than a day, close to a million people have downloaded the last two episodes, with more than 100,000 people sharing a single torrent at the same time. As expected, most downloads come from outside the US where the finale aired later or has yet to air on television.

Last year, Lost achieved the questionable honor of being the second most-pirated TV-show on BitTorrent. With more than 6 million downloads for a single episode, Lost was only trailing Heroes by a few thousand downloads.

There is no doubt that the final season of the show will again be a strong contender in 2010?s list. On average, an episode of Lost is downloaded nearly 1.5 million times in the first week after its appearance on BitTorrent, but there is an overwhelming demand for the series finale which aired on Sunday.

In the first 20 hours after they appeared on BitTorrent, the final two episodes were downloaded a little over 900,000 times, an amount expected to increase to four or five million by the and of the week. As far as we know, this is a new download record for BitTorrent in such a short time frame.

One of the main reasons why people turn to BitTorrent for missed TV-shows is because they air significantly later in their home country. In an attempt to take this incentive away Lost?s finale was aired in 59 countries simultaneously, or within 48 hours of the US broadcast.

Whether the narrower release window has indeed decreased piracy is hard to say. What we do see is that there is a huge demand for the Lost finale in Australia, as 15% of all downloaders come from down under. Coincidentally, the season finale is scheduled to air in Australia this Wednesday.

Another factor that contributed to the high number of downloads globally is all the fuss about the season ending. Undoubtedly, people who missed it will be more inclined to download the final episodes compared to those mid-season.

It will be interesting to see if Lost?s new download record can be broken in the future.

Maybe I missed the explanation (in the show or this thread), but what was the deal with the sickness or evil (I forget what they called it exactly) that was growing in Sayid and Claire?

Never got one. They both seemed to just 'get over it' as well. I think it was more of a mental thing. They were told they were sick so they began to believe it and act that way.

What made locke mortal near the end? At first I thought it was when Desmond turned out the light, however locke's hands start bleeding when they are lowering Desmond down towards the light.

It was a trade off: putting out the light in the island made him mortal, which is why Jack and Locke were both right and wrong. The island would have been destroyed, but it also made it possible to kill the man in black. Plug the hole back up and the man in black, theoretically, would have been immortal again.

That's what I had originally thought, however if you watch Locke's hands start to bleed when him and jack are lowering Desmond down to the light. Well before Desmond puts out the light. I don't believe it's a filming error either, as the camera focuses in on Locke's hands several times during that scene.

It wasn't blood. It was dirty hands + water from the rope

But they didnt, the show went on the way it did, its still a drama first and scify second. Whats the point of talking about "could haves"?

I'm sure that many people watched Lost for the Island & its mysteries, and not for characters or love stories. Frankly, I couldn't care less if Jack hooked up to Kate or if Sayid meets Shannon again.

    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
