Nope. This is entirely related to "The Constant."
Okay. You seem pretty adamanet about this. I guess I haven't seen whatever evidence you've seen that makes you so sure. What about "The Constant" leads you to believe that being Faraday's constant is what makes Des live outside the rules?
Faraday seems to know an awful lot about time travel and constants. In fact, if memory serves, he is the one who introduces the very concept. So, I think it would stand to reason that (since Faraday is an expert on the subject) if what you're asserting were true, then Faraday would simply say, "you're my constant. that's why you're special and the rules don't apply to you." Rather than saying "you're special. for some the reason the rules don't apply to you."
I know that's probably not an exact quote. I can't remember the exact words, but as I recall that's the jist of what he says. If I'm remember the quote incorrectly, then I apologize. Whatever evidence you have, please post it. If I'm really "wrong" I'd like to know before the next episode airs.
Doubtful, but it is still a possibility. One that I don't think we'll ever know, though.
Why doubtful? Again what have we seen that makes this doubtful? And obviously we'll never know, two of the characters I mentioned are ****ing dead. So..
I was just creating an example to illustrate my point.
It was already speculated that Ben and Charles are Constants. This was somewhat confirmed when they didn't kill each other when they met. It's possible that what you posit is true. I just don't see it in what's been revealed thus far.
It has been speculated by the viewing audience for some time. But the TPTB (and the show itself) have given us no further indication one way or the other. I tend to be in the camp of people that think it's likely that they ARE each other's constants. But no proof has been given. Don't mistake assumption for fact.
PLUS if they realy are each other's constants it may be evidence to suggest that youre initial assumption (about Des and his being Faraday's constant is what makes him special) is inaccurate. Ben says that Charles has "changed the rules." So these two DO have a set of rules that they exist by. Whether that's self imposed or cosmically so is unknown. But there is just as much evidence to suggest that this is a "fact" as there is to sugges that it's a "fact" that they are constants.
Likewise.
