That's why he isn't hypocritical when he tells Sawyer not to interact yet does as much two minutes later. |

That is simple. The Desmond at the door hadn't met Faraday yet. Thus, confusion ensued. However, notice that Desmond with Penny (in the present) immediately recognizes it for what it is: a memory rather than a dream. He remembers meeting Faraday. His past self doesn't because it hadn't happened. You can't change the past but you can change the future, which Faraday emphasized repeatedly.

don't forget there's also a quick line where Des asks, "Don't I know you, Brother?" Or something like that. Perhaps that is a clue that he does sort of recognize Faraday.

I have no idea why, perhaps what happened to him in the hatch when he hit the reset button.

Remember that it was the present Desmond that went to Oxford, not the one living in the hatch. If I am incorrect, someone please jump in. |

It is because of "The Constant" - an episode last season. Desmond is Faraday's Constant.

He says that the rules don't apply to Desmond because he's special. I have a feeling it has more to do with the fail-safe key and the hatch than it does with being anyone's constant. But who know? I'm sure the answers will come soon enough.

I believe the fail-safe key in the hatch merely keeps the island invisible to the outside world.

but that's sort of a different point. I'm just thinking that the reason Des is "special" and the "rules don't apply" to him is because of the amount of electromagnetism he was exposed to when he turned the key. If Charlie or Jack or Hurley or Kelvin had turned the key instead of Des, then they would be the ones living outside the rules of time travel. That's all. I don't think what makes Des special is his being Faraday's constant. I think as the show develops we'll see other people who are each other's constants (perhaps Ben and Charles are constants?) and they won't be living outside the "rules." Does that make sense? Like I said, I could be waaaay off. I'm jus guessing here. Just the way I'm seeing things right now. Could change next episode with more/new information |
