na, ben has got to be conning MIB.. remember he gave miles a walkie talkie for some reason.. also he wanted to kill widmore anyway so that was killing 2 birds with one stone.. he took out his rival and got MIB to trust him...

Although its going to be intresting, how far is ben going to go? Will he kill both desmond and jack for MIB? I wonder how much info they are going to spill in the last 2hrs of LOST, I'm sure going to miss it.

Lost - how its gonna end (has already ended):

1. Its jack now but it wont matter - Ben kills all of them
2. MIB uses Desmond to destroy the island and sink it
3. The "Sideways" occurs after the island is done and all of them are "dead" or whatever
4. Desmond is seen trying to unite all the remaining candidates (jacks going on his own) in the "sideways" as this is the grand failsafe Jacob had always planned
5. Widmore knew what was going to happen and purposely had himself captured - Jacob probably told him to say whatever he says to MIB (why the hell would Widmore decide to let himself get captured by the MIB??)
6. Desmond somehow saves the day?

ABSOLUTELY not - Ben has his agenda - he wants to pay back widmore and he wants to keep the island. Obviously he does not succeed in conning MIB - The island is under water and all of them are dead and Desmond is doing what he needs to do (the failsafe) which means none of the candidates succeeded at least so far...

na,i think the island is underwater because in 1977 they didnt denotate the bomb in that reality and the electromagnestism from dharma drilling sunk the island.

the island world is in 2007 the sideways is in 2004.... where in that world the island sunk in 1977


i do believe the island will probably sink by the hands of desmond or MIB and somehow the events in the sideways 2004 will take place after the island events.... not sure exactly how yet

I was really upset that the meeting between Jacob and the "candidates" was so rushed and downplayed. I guess I understand that most of their questions, had they asked any, would have been answered by stuff we saw in the previous episode, but still... Such an important event in the life of "Lost", and the annointing of a new "Jacob" took 20 seconds.

As someone else said, it must not be as important as it seems and will probably be short lived.

And someone asked about why Jacob wanted a failsafe. If all the candidates died and the MIB started to get off the island, I'm guessing Widmore was instructed to perform some emergency "destroy the island" plan where Desmond would be the only one left, and then become the new "Jacob" by default.

yeah i cant help but think they did the jack=jacob thing early because that isnt the end game and something will change that before its over.. besides jack cut on his neck was back.... wonder what that is?

OK this article does not pertain much to lost, but I was looking up how a Powermat wirelessly charges a cell phone, Ipod or nintendo DS. I was reading it to find out that Michael Faraday discovered 'electromagnetic induction' which obviously brought up daniel faraday from lost with the whole EM incident. I also found out that Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse actually knew about it and it was a obvious shoot out to him.



PowerMat is an exciting new wireless charging technology. It was first demonstrated in 2008 and early 2009 and is now available to buy for the home and office.

So what is PowerMat? It is a small device that uses wireless charging to charge your most important gadgets like cellphones (including the iPhone and Blackberry), video games (including the Nintendo DS), and iPod without you having to connect them to a charger or plug them into the wall. The PowerMat itself is, of course, plugged into the wall and connected to mains electricity by a wire, but from then on everything is wireless. You drop your device onto the PowerMat and it gets charged wirelessly, without you having to do anything.

So how does PowerMat wireless charging work?

The technology behind PowerMat is known as 'electromagnetic induction' (or just 'magnetic induction'). Michael Faraday is generally credited with the discovery of the induction phenomenon in 1831 though others were working in the same field at the time.

This electromagnetic induction is officially defined as "the production of voltage across a conductor situated in a changing magnetic field or a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field" but that does not mean very much to most people. A better way to put it is that it is a means to transfer electrical power using a shared magnetic field.

Consider this arrangement:

1. Put electrical power into a coil of wire

2. This will produce a magnetic field around the coil that affects any metal within the field (as demonstrated by Faraday)

3. Change the field quickly over time and an electric current will be generated in the metal

So what is happening when a PowerMat is charging is that it is generating rapidly changing magnetic fields above the mat; these are converted by receivers on any devices on the mat into electrical power, and so these devices get charged. The magnetic fields and electrical currents are, of course, very small and so they can work on handheld gadgets without being a health risk to humans.

The same technology is used in a huge number of other devices and systems including generators, motors, transformers, some cookers, induction welding, and so on. Perhaps to most people the best known example is in rechargeable electric toothbrushes, where they are familiar with dropping a toothbrush into a 'dock' daily to keep it charged. However they may be unaware that similar systems are also operating in electric guitar pickups, video tape players, and computer graphics tablets.

PowerMat is currently the best known example of a wireless charger but this technology is developing rapidly and soon we will see it in many other applications and products. The PowerMat company itself is planning to extend the technology and feature it in kitchen counters, walls, and other surfaces around the home. One day this technology may be used everywhere and be invisible, it will be so commonplace. Finally we will be freed of the endless tangle of chargers and wires around the home.

Oh God, these are so funny.

Great find!

jacob visted jimmy kimmel last night.. not a funny as the EW stuff but worth a watch

you're right, kinda weak that it took 30 seconds.. but in that short time Jacob turned water into wine so that was kinda neat~

I shed some tears on this last episode :(, so I'm guessing they were reincarnated into the other parallel universe? All thats left is to make LOST:AGAIN.....lol

*Cough* Cop-out *cough*

no it wasnt an alternate universe.. it was like purgatory or like a lobby outside of heaven or whatever you want to call it... everyone(well not the ghosts who were stuck on the island) went to it but the losties created theirs in a way so they could all find one another and cross over together.. jack was to last person to realize his actual life and death because he always had the most trouble with letting go.. so they were all waiting on him... who knows how far that was in the future as kate and sawyer and the rest probably lived full lives and died of old age and who knows how long hurley and ben ran the island for... but at somepoint everyone dies and they were in this afterlife all wanting to meet up..

..... and it had nothing to do with the island or the bomb or anything..like that life wasnt real david shepard never existed. he was a spiritual construct they created.. thats why things went better for them in it as they had subconsiously created it...

like for example eloise had died whenever and she had awoken up to remember her life and death but she didnt want to pass over because although she knew it wasnt a real world she could spend time with her son... ( who actually was her son not made up like david) thats why she didnt want desmond messing with things

and ben.. ben didnt feel he deserved to cross over yet and he still had get somethigs right with himself first... either with alex or whatever..

so yeah at the end of the day it wasnt a sideways or tangent universe or really anything related to the island..... it was plainly a religious/spiritial afterlife


now i would speculate that the light in the heart of the island was tied to this.. maybe it really did hold concepts of heaven and hell and the hell part really did bond to MIB.. i dunno



why desmond thought that it would take him there i dunno.... desmond was special and the EM test really did send him there for a while but if you remember when desmond flashed over there he wasnt aware he was just like everyone else... it was charlie who woke him up in the afterlife and started the chain of events

I liked it, sure it could have been much better, but i liked it. Sad to see it go. I wonder what spin-offs will come as a result.

MOVING ON... I heard that Richard may play Khan in Star Trek 2!!! COOL!

yup that is gonna be really great i think he can pull that off well!



also speaking of post lost... terry oquinn and michael emerson are pitching a show where they are competing hitmen living under cover with their familes in like the subburbs... its supposed to me like a lighter action comedy if it gets picked up...

I might have to buy all six seasons and gift it to my sis and b-n-l, I think they are currently watching Dr. Who.

amazon.com has both DVD and BLuRay on preorder for 35% off

Amazon.com: Lost: The Complete Collection: Naveen Andrews, Henry Ian Cusick, Emilie de Ravin…

Amazon.com: Lost: The Complete Collection [Blu-ray]: Naveen…

i kinda agree it was a bit of a copout. mostly because the final outcome was something people had been predicting since the first season. booo!

Theres a huge party of thoughts jumping around in my head after the finale.. What a show!

Now what am I going to watch next week? lol

No one predicted what would happen in Seasons 2-6. Some people predicted that everything that happened on the island would be "a dream" or that everyone would be already dead.

Neither was the case.

Everything that happened on the island, happened. The Flash Sideways almost fits those predictions, but once the Flash Sideways started, everyone I know had no clue it would turn out the way it did. Most predicted the 2 parallels would collide or overlap at some point.


I absolutely loved the ending. My girl and I cried, laughed, and were at the edge of our seats, which is more than what you can ask for. I would have loved a little more info on Hurley, or Kate/Sawyer, but questions being answered would just lead to more questions, as Jacob once pointed out.

Great job Lost.

Michael Emerson Spills the Beans on the Lost Epilogue

“For those people that want to pony up and buy the complete Lost series, there is a bonus feature,” Michael just told our Kevin Pereira of Attack of the Show!, which airs tonight at 7 on E!’s brother network G4. “Which is um, you could call it an epilogue. A lost scene. It’s a lot; it’s 12 or 14 minutes that opens a window onto that gap of unknown time between Hurley (Jorge Garcia) becoming number one and the end of the series.”

Michael says this extra footage is not the premise for a spinoff. “It’s self-contained. Although, it’s a rich period in the show’s mythology that ‘s never been explored, so who knows what will come of it.”

bet no one thought this thread would get a bump


but were are quite done yet.... first pic from "The Mew Man in Charge" Epilogue

its of ben going around to dharma station's and closing them down...
