    Lost: Season 5

    I'm with you Steve. Richard seems a bit concerned with how much Locke seems to know and even stated to Ben that he may be more trouble than they originally thought. What we saw last night might be the start of a huge power-grab (Richard's people vs. shadow-of-the-statue-people). Locke now...

    Lost: Season 5

    Does anyone have any idea what the origin of John's compass is? It really appears as if there isn't one, and I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around that concept. The way I understand it: Time-jumping-Locke gave it to Richard in 1954 (ep: Jughead). Richard held onto it for 53 years...

    Heroes - Season Three

    Terrible season. This show has no idea where it's going and the writers know it. Suresh's narration even hints at it. And the gratuitous plagiarism of LOST is a joke. I've been hoping that they can achieve the greatness of season 1 again but it's just not happening. It's only getting worse.

    Lost: Season 5

    Great "fun" episode. It left me with a big smile on my face afterwards. And "That douche is my dad" just might be the best line ever uttered in the history of network television. LOL! I listened to last weeks podcast with Carlton and Cuse and they made mention that they were lightening the...

    Lost: Season 5

    Another great episode for this superb season! Just a couple observations: There were a number of visual references to Raiders of the Lost Ark. I was very suspicious of Ilana once we saw her reaction as flight 316's passengers were getting tossed about the plane before it crash landed...

    The DeGroots who started the DI are located at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. I think this was mentioned in the Swan orientation video.

    Lost: Season 5

    That's a GREAT observation Josh. Something I hadn't taken into consideration but now that I think about it makes perfect sense as to why the barracks are in the condition they are. I wasn't that crazy about the episode after it was over, but now looking at it from this perspective, you've...

    I think he was referring to the fact that Faraday is now "cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs"

    Lost: Season 5

    Yes JohnS, that's what blew my mind. This technique would be consistent with some of the other S5 reveals (Locke's self-fulfilling prophecy, Locke's compass).

    Lost: Season 5

    I think it means he started the "beacon" that brought others (himself included) to the island. As far as the origin of that particular sequence of numbers (Valenzetti equation?), that mystery is still in play. An ultra-cool revelation nonetheless.

    Lost: Season 5

    I was rewatching the last episode (TPiD) the other day on my laptop and using headphones to listen to it. During the scene on the beach when Montand is listening to the "numbers" transmission over his radio, the recorded voice caught my attention because it sounded awfully familiar. The first 4...

    This was the impression that I got Mark. I have no idea if it's of any significance but I thought it was definitely a different chamber than where Ben did his turn 'o the wheel.

    Lost: Season 5

    Annie. I was thinking that as a possibility as well, that Charlotte's parents may be Annie and Ben. It seemed like Annie was the only one he connected with and they could have had a special relationship. There's probably more to her story and I really hope they bring her back in some capacity...

    Lost: Season 5

    WOOHOO! Finally an episode where the audio wasn't hosed. I felt pummeled during the Smokie attack. Great episode too. One of my favorites this season. When Charlotte bolted up spouting out Korean(?) and the "This place is death" line, that was one of the great skin-crawlingly creepy moments...

    Lost: Season 5

    Thanks guys. Sucks that others are having problems too but at least we have confirmation that it's not an isolated incident. I'll tune into ABC to re-check if its an issue on other programs but I could have sworn it was just LOST. And yes Tony, surround is excellent (I noticed it on Des's...

    Lost: Season 5

    Here's another mystery This is about quality control. Has anyone else had problems with audio in the center channel? It sounds as though the level of the center channel is too high and clipping ensues. It sounds terrible. To the point where it's hard to hear the dialogue. I must mention that...

    Heroes - Season Three

    That would have been more appropo considering the opening shot of the alarm clock, the record player imagery and the plane crash. The only thing we were missing was Sawyer to deliver a "Sonofa..." Oh right. Different show.:rolleyes

    Lost: Season 5

    I noticed this as well, but I assumed it was a creative decision to reflect the island's instability. The scenes in the jungle and campsite had an otherworldly quality to them but I didn't really notice it in Des's off-island scenes.

    Lost: Season 5

    I really like your precog angle Will. I DO think that Locke may have had some inkling about the compass as a child. IIRC when he was to choose which item already belonged to him, didn't he pull aside the compass and vial of sand(?) first? Not only that but Richard did see the "Smokey"...

    First timer looking for budget set up help

    +1 I just set up the 52" version of this set for my father and the picture was nothing short of amazing. I can see why Consumer Reports named it their best set.

    Bly Ray ready for Prime Time?

    I'm 3 weeks in and glad to have made the jump (Panasonic BD55). Yes the load times can be sluggish and some of the controls are wonky but once the movie starts it's all good. Also setting up the player can take a little bit of TLC depending on your equipment. IMO it seems to be a bit more...

    This is incorrect. These tracks can be passed via the 5.1/7.1 analog connection as well.

    Audio connex question

    I will be purchasing a Blu-ray player soon. The player will be either the Panasonic BD55 or Sony BDP550 as one of my requirements is 5.1/7.1 analog out for use with my pre-HDMI receiver. When watching SD-DVDs on either of these players will the analog audio connection deliver the audio or...

    2008 Summer Olympics - Beijing, China

    Good post Andrew, but I'm not sure I follow this. I compete in triathlons which involve swimming (skill A), cycling (skill B) and running (skill C). If I am equally good in all three events (of which I am certainly not), this does not mean they are strongly related. It means I trained...
