I really enjoyed Desmond's acting this episode much like Richard's in his episode. Very well done.

I have no idea why exactly, but it seems that Eloise is well aware of the alternate timeline and what it is. She even tells us there are "rules" at play. I'm fascinated by Eloise Hawking now. She was always interesting, but NOW... I need to know what she knows and HOW she knows it. Amazing episode. |

Yeah, an absolutely killer episode.
When Desmond fainted, while at the same time awoke from his electrocution, you almost get chills. Desmond is a missing piece to this whole thing. So, these last couple episodes are gonna be E-P-I-C. Then I will be sad that it is done. |

Who was Daniel Farraday's? Or was Dez just suppose to find him, and Daniel did not have a constant? Dez is definitely putting it all together, and I think his next stop in the sideflash will be Jack. |

I don't get the feeling like this will be, I'm really looking forward to how it's all going to end. |

I'm in the minority, I didn't care for it. It was too "cute" for me. Oh look Desmond works for Widmore isn't that ironic, oh Desmond and Penny are so cute together ...
Plus, they had the opportunity to kill the annoying Tina Fey character and passed on it. Inexcusable.

As I understand it, you only need a constant when your mind or consciousness time travels. The constant is the thing that grounds your mind in both timeframes so that you don't go coo-coo for coco-puffs. For Des that person was Penny. For Faraday that person was Des. We don't have all the details but Faraday wrote something like "if anything goes wrong Desmond Hume is my constant." I don't know that we'll ever get all the details about this statement. To me it implies that Faraday was indeed experimenting on himself. I'm not sure whether or not "anything went wrong" with Faraday's experiment. Did he end up NEEDING Des to be his constant or was it a safety net? Not sure. I really hope Jack is Des's next step. I'm ready for that dude (Jack) to step up. I'm guessing (I don't know for sure) that next week will be a Hurley episode. So, maybe Des starts with him? |

At the end, did anyone else get the impression that Desmond wanted to be taken to the MIB? That it was part of his (and Widmore's) 'next step'?

I watched this episode last night about midnight. I was fairly shitfaced, and looking back now, I can't remember much of anything in the episode. I gotta quit doing this....

It's not the shitfaced viewing that pisses me off, it's the shitfaced erasing it from the DVR afterwards.

There was SO much information in last night's episode that I'm having difficulty processing it all and making sense of it in the grand scheme of LOST.
1. As I alluded to after Episode One of Season Six, I think the Losties on flight 815 seem to somehow know each other. The way they looked at each other, Jack asking Desmond "Do I know you?" and now, Desmond having flashes about the Island. 2. Something isn't quite right in the Sideways. More to the point, everything is too right. A. Jack has the relationship with his son that he wishes he had with his father. B. John Locke has a great relationship with father and is getting married. C. Hurley is now the "Luckiest guy in the world", unlike his real-life experience. D. Ford is a cop hot on the trail of "Sawyer" and his partner is Miles (LaFleur). E. Sayid is reunited with Nadia. F. Daniel Faraday has his mother's approval as a musician. G. Dogen has his son. H. Charlie is still a huge rockstar. Charlie says on flight 815 that he should be "Dead". Desmond, through Charlie, is now beginning to piece everything together and once he's been exposed to the huge burst of electromagnetism, he's willing to help out Widmore any way that he can. What does he see? Well, he sees his life in "The Sideways" flash, which I believe really isn't a Sideways flash but something else. His entire experience, which to him felt like quite a long time, lasted only seconds. Eloise is in on the fix as well, as she states "You have everything you've ever wanted", just like all of the Lostie's mentioned above. But what Desmond saw will hopefully be revealed soon. He obviously saw his life without Penny but I think it had to be something far more than that. Also, did anyone notice that the MRI machine sounded like the MIB as the Smoke Monster? I think that Widmore has enlisted Desmond to face and possibly kill the MIB because he can't be injured by huge blasts of electromagnetic energy. And he's willing to follow Sayid because Sayid will lead him directly to Flocke. Only six hours left! |
