Heh, I guess the end of the video where he promotes the show isn't doing the job! It's Adam Ruins Everything on TruTV, Tuesdays at 10/9c... which I think is some strange American hieroglyph to do with time.

I thought the symbols looked a bit like hieroglyphs..

In reality, it's just THE BEST, most creative way to tell isis to go fuck itself

..i think. Lmao.

Can't not wait! for that correction.

Do I really have to beg ?


Not no more.

so this is a google tablet... half the price of an ipad.. rad.
does it do what i need it to do?
seriously, i ask you guys because the lay out of amazon and other sites like it drives my dyslexia/dyscalculia CRAZY. my brain thinks im trying to decipher hieroglyphics. >> ^KnivesOut:

I bought a Nook Color, and rooted it, which for non-nerds means I replaced the Barnes & Noble default OS with a standard Android ROM. This means I can load regular 'droid apps on it, by accessing the Amazon App-Store and Android Market.
Why? Because it was only $250, compared to the $500+ for an iPad. Yes, it's not as "nice" as an iPad, but:
A. I hate apple.
B. I like saving money.
C. Droid is cooler, and easier to code against than iOS, but that's just my opinion.
There are other options in a similar price range (this one is pretty nice.)
I just have a hard time with the $500 price-point on an iPad.

What about the hatch? I don't think there was anything about the hatch that was left completely ambiguous -- that seems to be one of the few elements on the show that didn't really leave any lingering questions. Am I forgetting something?

Here's a few unanswered questions about the hatch:

Why did the Dharma initiative want to build it? Why did they think it was important, and needed to be kept secret? What was the significance of the numbers? Why did the door say Quarantine on it? What did "the Button" actually do, and why did it need to be pushed every 108 minutes? Why did hieroglyphs appear on the countdown clock when it was finally allowed to reach zero? What started happening when the clock reached zero? What happened when Desmond activated the failsafe? What was the failsafe? Why did Desmond start seeing flashes of the future from that point forward? Was he really seeing the future? Did the hatch have anything to do with the smoke monster/light plotline? Did the "others" know or care about what was going on with the hatch? Did Jacob have any sort of position or interest in what happened in the hatch?

What effect did the nuclear bomb set off at the base of the hatch before it was built have, other than sending everyone back to the "present"? Was the button version of the hatch built as a direct consequence of what our own merry band of castaways did in the 70's?

Don't get me wrong, I understand that shows will pointedly try to get you to forget stuff a few years back that doesn't fit the story they've decided to tell in the present. The hatch and the numbers were ancient history, and I can forgive them for pretending like it doesn't matter anymore.

I'm mostly annoyed that even stuff they brought up in just the last two seasons didn't get any kind of explanation or payoff, like the nuclear bomb last season, and the central conflict between Jacob and his smoky adversary this season. I expected them to at least try to build a new internally consistent mythology, and try to retcon in as much of the previous seasons as possible.

Instead we got "none of this matters" as our big explanation for what's been happening on the island. Meh.

@Sarzy. Didn't leave any lingering questions? Did we watch the same show?

The hatch, by the way, set up so many new questions. If you remember, they had to enter random numbers (which we find out was the candidate numbers on the list, sigh), then the room would freak out with hieroglyphics on everything if they didn't press the button, and the place blew up at the end of season 2. So. No explanation what hatch was really for? Why are there hieroglyphics on the wall?

Are you okay with the "numbers" that kept coming up being their candidate list numbers? These were the numbers they had to also enter into the hatch's machine. Why? Because Jacob is god or something? I don't know.

Flash sideways. Yeah, I had to google that. So, the idea is, according to Lostapedia, "the incident" where the atomic bomb blew up was the beginning of the flash sideways events, and that's quite possibly where they died. Fuck me. How can any sane person figure that out when they could've also died at the end of season 2 when the hatch blew up? See? It gets stupider the more I think about it.

There were just too many unanswered questions or plot devices set up and then glossed over without explanation.

She's not hot, she's smart. And although her delivery leaves much to be desired, it's a definite upvote for the BURRRRRRRRRN
I wonder what's the ankh on her neck for though.


The Ankh is merely an Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for "life", sometimes "eternal life", but somehow I don't think she means that.

This is obviously a fake. I mean, first of all, the fish is wearing glasses. Secondly, he's thinking in hieroglyphics. What's next, a piece of popcorn shaped like a child molesting weatherman mutating into a Mentos and spraying John McCain with Bill Maher's Diet Coke?

i just read up on Peru and that was 5000 years ago (they had pyramids and some kind of primitive city.
There are some indications that there were possibly Pre-Ancient Egyptian Kingdoms. For instance from ice weathering on the Sphinx and hieroglyphic records of past leaders. Also, pottery that there's no evidence that the ancient egyptians we know of could have possibly made.
regardless of this, ancient history records are bound to be amended with new evidence.

lol, nice hieroglyphs there.

Now Mensa kiddies out there, time to explain the wiki to SG. :-)
