Lost finale seen around the world -- (link) - Danedukenuuk May 24, 08:41
Computer networking problem. - Dano May 24, 08:40 6
- two exact same ip numbers? -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 24, 08:42 2
  - forgot the cure - Danedukenuuk May 24, 08:43 1
    - the long term cure is to switch all units to IPv6 -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 24, 08:44
- usually by rebooting. On a PC you can do a "release" and "renew" of your address. Not sure how to do it on the Mac -- nm - oblique May 24, 08:41 2
  - Rebooting didn't help. Trying to figure it out in the Networking settings. -- nm - Dano May 24, 08:44 1
    - is the IP number the client wants the same IP as the DHCP server? - Danedukenuuk May 24, 08:47
Lost question from last night (kinda spoiler?) - Mop (222 lbs) May 24, 08:38 6

Another South Carolina Republican embroiled in a sexual misconduct scandal. The hook on this one - Will Hunting May 24, 08:33 4
- hmm, well, i am sure fox news is already running the story as a liberal media smear - tRuMaN May 24, 08:38
- Cross-dressers don't usually dress up to look ugly. -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) May 24, 08:37

Another Lost question that goes back several seasons about Ben and the Others: - mara May 24, 08:30 5
- in my thinking... (spoils) - znufrii May 24, 08:38
- From tough guy to total wuss -- nm - budice May 24, 08:32 3
  - Ben may have done more to make me dislike the show than anything else. Although that's a really tough call. -- nm - mara May 24, 08:32 2
    - wow. -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 08:34
    - That's....odd - Will Hunting May 24, 08:33

Why we didn't see Mr. Eko.... - Remlik May 24, 08:21 4
- You know, I figured it was exactly that scenario. -- nm - nubby May 24, 08:32
- [deleted]
- I think he made the show very interesting, but just tacking on at the end would have felt forced, imo. -- nm - Inigo May 24, 08:28
- I was fine without him. -- nm - sycor May 24, 08:27
Somethingsomethingsomething not about lost. - Subversive May 24, 08:21 3

- did they ever explain who the skeletons in the airplane seats they found in S1 were? -- nm - Mel Profit May 24, 08:21 4
  - Yes. (spoils) - pmb May 24, 08:22 2
    - thanks! -- nm - Remlik May 24, 08:25
    - Thanks. -- nm - Mel Profit May 24, 08:23
  - I, personally don't remember those, the ones in the cave though... - Remlik May 24, 08:22
Remlik - without spoiling Lost for me - which finale did you prefer - A to A or Lost? -- nm - LMS May 24, 08:09 6
- I liked both.....but...spoils for Ashes to Ashes and Lost.... - Remlik May 24, 08:18 5
  - Supposedly there's a 1hr 20min version of Ashes somewhere - maybe for the DVD. Spoils - LMS May 24, 08:24 4
    - I agree on the IM. - Remlik May 24, 08:26 3
      - oh and in regards to Tyler... - Remlik May 24, 08:27 2
        
        Spoils - LMS May 24, 08:41 1
        
        spoils... - Remlik May 24, 08:45
The big issue I have with Lost is that the ending sets the context for everything that came before and, IMO, - TWuG May 24, 08:06
So is the last 24 tonight? -- nm - amoxy May 24, 08:05 1
- The last '24' and the last 'Law & Order'. -- nm - Diva May 24, 08:21

- "100 Hippos against Kung Fu Joe?....*evil laugh*" -- nm - budice May 24, 08:01
Is anyone else amused at which side Jax and kilbo are taking on the Lost finale? - Reagen May 24, 07:58 15
- I personally think they wrapped up a lot of unanswered questions. - JaxSean May 24, 08:15 2
  - Et tu, Jaxe? - oblique May 24, 08:18 1
    - heh. :) -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 08:20
- I thought exactly the same thing. At its heart, Lost was a show about faith. About accepting things that can't be explained. (spoils sort of) - pmb May 24, 08:13
- Nicer wrapup than BSG, finale couldve been 10-15 mins and still got the same point across -- nm - budice May 24, 08:03
- heh. I have nothing bad to say about the sideways timeline resolution. It is truly TV at it's best. - oblique May 24, 07:59 9
  - I think they're both valid reactions. I just like how you're both on the opposite side of what I would have predicted. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 08:01 8
    - nubby's position is what amuses me. - Mel Profit May 24, 08:07
    - My theory is that the more time you spent trying to figure out the codes, visiting the websites, etc., the more frustrated you are. -- nm - Dano May 24, 08:03 6
      - I gave up a long time ago on having everthing answered (spoilers) - oblique May 24, 08:09 5
        
        you kind of just want to not accept znu's explanation... - Mel Profit May 24, 08:12 3
        
        between "Ab Aeterno" and "Across the Sea", I think they explained it pretty well as to what the island is. -- nm - znufrii May 24, 08:15 2
        
        "It's like the light of a thousand fairies" -- nm - oblique May 24, 08:17 1
        
        you do have a point (spoilers) - znufrii May 24, 08:20
        
        Ultimately it becomes about what is relevant. -- nm - budice May 24, 08:12
I am famished this morning. I already went to the caf for a snack and it didn't help. Hurry up, lunch. -- nm - TFox May 24, 07:57

Dano (or anyone), have you seen Mystery Team? -- nm - nubby May 24, 07:50 3
- I have not. It seems to be popular among the tweeting movie bloggers though. -- nm - Dano May 24, 07:51 2
  - Netflix seems to think I'll really really like it, so I put it at the top of my queue. -- nm - nubby May 24, 07:51 1

  - Thanks, that's interesting. Question: - mara May 24, 08:06 2
    - spoilers - znufrii May 24, 08:10 1
      - Ah, thanks. The whole smoke monster subplot was obviously one of the things I missed when I quit watching. -- nm - mara May 24, 08:12
- My take in 170 words: (spoils) - JaxSean May 24, 08:00 2
  - So do you think - mara May 24, 08:03 1

        I know I'm of the minority, but I don't think that's true. - JaxSean May 24, 08:11 19
        
        If your IM is true, then I am pissed (spoils) - amoxy May 24, 08:23 6
        
        I think of it more as spoils - JaxSean May 24, 08:26 5
        
        you're thinking too hard about what is just a bone thrown to the set designers. Not everything is a puzzle. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 08:35 4
        
        I think the (spoil) was very relevant. - JaxSean May 24, 08:36 3
        
        did you see - Reagen May 24, 08:38 2
        
        Are you sure it wasn't on fire? -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 08:41 1
        
        Yes. -- (link) - Reagen May 24, 08:43 [youtube]

        nah, thats not it at all. (spoils) - Jovian May 24, 08:07 7
        
        Your last sentence in the IM seems to be evidence for JaxSean's theory. -- nm - mara May 24, 08:08 6
        
        It seems like it was a bookend. - Will Hunting May 24, 08:09 2
        
        Ugh, I don't know if I'd like a bookend just for the sake of the aesthetics of it. -- nm - mara May 24, 08:14 1
