LOST – Oceanic Six Theory

March 5, 2008

I have to give credit for Ahsan (konchekey) for making me think about LOST again. And I just realized that the answer of the Oceanic Six was right in my face. In last week’s episode we learnt that people who got exposed to a certain amount of radiation experiences the “side effects” when they cross the barrier that blocks the island from the outside world. Yes there is a way to get off the island (following a coordinates of 325 degrees) and it’s not entirely safe and it’s a big risk as well. That’s why only people who weren’t affected by the radiation were able to get off the island. The other 815er’s were quarantined and left there by the people on the Freight or some unknown people. They are probably being experimented on to cure the effects instead of asking them to find their constant on both timelines. The ultimate goal of the people is to harvest the unique properties that the island has, but some of them can’t get on the island because of the barrier and its “side effects”.

Only six people officially can get off the island. Because they were the only six who were affected by the least bit of radiation. You see, when Desmond turned the key in the hatch, the hatch imploded and all the electromagnetic radiation got out(the purple haze). All the people who were on the beach and near the hatch were affected. That means everyone except, Sayid, Jin, Sun, Jack, Kate , Michael, Walt, Sawyer and Hurley were unaffected. They were too far away from the blast area. The “everyone” who I’m referring to hear is the people of flight 815. Not Ben, Juliet and the others. They won’t count as the Oceanic Six because they weren’t on the flight, although they might have faked identities and gotten off the island posing as one of the people on the flight. That’s still a possibility. Aaron also got off the island even though he was on the beach probably Claire was holding him in a blanket near her and she probably absorbed most of the radiation or Aaron doesn’t suffer the effects until later on in his life which I’ll get into later (farfetched I know but still a possibility). So since Claire couldn’t get Aaron off the island she asked Kate to take care of him for her.

So probably 6 of these 9 people are people of the oceanic six.

Sayid

Jin

Sun

Jack

Kate

Michael

Walt

Sawyer

 

We already know four. Ben and Aaron cannot be officially one so. The other two has to be one of these people.

 

Michael

Walt

Sawyer

Sun

Jin

 

 

We already know that Michael and Walt are regulars this season and will be coming back in one of the episodes. So they probably haven’t gotten back. Could be either of them who knows? But my gut feeling is Sun and Jin.

 

Ok well that’s my theory of why people cannot get off the island. I think how the series is finally going to end is that somehow Aaron’s go back into the past. Tells Claire that the plane would crash and she informs the authorities and thereby stops the plane from crashing. And the whole thing never happened. Jack never met Kate, Desmond is still pushing the button on the island..and the story can go into any direction.

Well that’s my long theory. What do you think? :D

LoveBites,Miro,and a Torrent Auto Downloader???

March 5, 2008

Love Bites is a funny approximately 2 minute web casts kinda thing which portrays the lives of a couple who had just got together. Like I said it’s funny, hilarious in some episodes, and informative as well if your new to the whole relationships game. It’s actually an American remake of a Quebec comedy series titled Un gars, une fille which basically means “a guy, a girl”. It’s being broadcast on TBS as shorts during commercial breaks and available for download as well.

I actually discovered this when I was browsing through Miro’s (previously known as the Democracy Player) channels. Miro is a really cool program where you can download almost any video from the web IF the video is available through RSS feeds, and it does so automatically when a new episode comes out. Now don’t get so excited about this cos I know what you’re thinking and no, torrents doesn’t seem to work. Which brings me to this question. Why haven’t torrent bigwigs like Mininova and PirateBay not come out with their own torrent auto downloader? I know utorrent and other torrent clients can download torrents automatically if you want to through RSS feeds and it’s not so reliable since when I want to download LOST (best show ever btw!) and it starts downloading more than one torrent file. If they did something like Miro for torrents that would be awesome. And if you guys know something like that let me know. I’m tempted to do something like that for my final year project but believe it or not (shocked :P) downloading torrents are illegal. Oh well..

So anyways download Miro. Check out the program. Word of advice, not suitable for people with bandwidth quota. Speeds are great. Direct downloads. Can download youtube videos as well, sort them out by channels, make your channels and submit them to Miro, and others can look at them as well. How cool is that???

Here’s some great channels that I would recommend to add when you have download Miro which you can download here.

The Totally Rad Show (the name says it all)

Diggnation

Tekzilla

GeekBrief

Timo’s Movie Trailers

(Note to self: The unfilled void left after the demolishing of the great Tech TV by G4! is almost being filled by Miro. I’m getting all my tech shows delivered to my doorstop.) Oh and you should know all the great shows like Diggnation, TRS and Tekzilla is brought to you by the guys who used to run the original Tech TV minus Leo Laporte and they are now known as Revision3. So check them out at Revision3.com
