Description: This configuration is an Apple-II Plus system running an Apple-III monitor, with a Disk II floppy drive.  This same prop is used as both the Swan and Pearl Station computer (as evident by the Swan logo).  At the Pearl Station, the computer is connected to a dot matrix printer with the “System Failure” log printout that alerted Desmond to realize what caused Oceanic Flight 815 to crash.  At the Swan Station, the computer is used by Desmond to enter “The Numbers” every 108 minutes.  It is the destruction of the Swan Station computer that prevented “The Numbers” from being entered and which led Desmond to trigger the fail safe mechanism, causing the Swan Station to implode.  Of trivial interest is an 1980s film, entitled “The Self,” employed in some psychology classes today, which features an Apple-III computer monitor that is used to test the effect of positive personalities.  Incidentally, the numbers 4, 8, 16, and 23 appear frequently in these tests.  This could be the reason for the choice of the kind of computer.

“What was truly devastating to him was the loss of his power.  They allowed him to keep the title of Emperor, but without any power it was meaningless.”

Ben knew well the significance of his history lecture, for in another reality, he had been Emperor, only to be stripped of power and exiled off the Island.  Likewise, Richard knew the power of immortality, but it carried no value for him.  Death had more meaning.

For both men, power was an illusion, and they gave it up.  They surrendered:  To Ilana’s forgiveness, to Jack’s faith.

Ben’s exile is over now.  Richard’s life has just begun.  They discovered something more potent, more meaningful, more triumphant than power:  They discovered purpose.

Via Forbes:

To determine which series generated the most advertising revenue in 2009, we turned to Kantar Media, formerly TNS Media Intelligence, which tracks ad spending. The firm surveyed all regularly scheduled prime-time shows, excluding sports franchises, for our third annual list of TV’s Top Moneymakers. For an apples-to-apples comparison of network programs of differing lengths, the series are ranked based on ad revenue per average 30 minutes.

To be sure, the revenue figures provided are estimates. The amount individual buyers actually forked over for their collection of 30-second spots varies, depending on everything from advertisers’ perceptions about a show’s value to their clout with the respective network. The broadcast networks’ continued viewership decline along with a recessionary marketplace factored into the decision-making process as well.

TV’s Biggest Moneymakers

1. ‘American Idol,’ Fox ($8.1 million in ad dollars per half hour)
2. ‘Two and a Half Men,’ CBS ($3.1 million)
3. ‘24,’ Fox ($3 million)
4. ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ ABC ($2.8 million)
5. ‘V,’ ABC ($2.8 million)
6. ‘Desperate Housewives,’ ABC ($2.7 million)
7. ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ ABC ($2.56 million)

8. Lost

ABC
Revenue Per 30 Minutes: $2.53 million
For a cult-like series that requires intense focus and commitment, advertisers are willing to shell out. Collectively, buyers forked over more than $5 million per episode during the long-running and ever-popular series’ second to last season.
