[Deberg_1990]

I figured I would start a thread for this and see what happens....there seemed to be quite a few viewers on the board for this show the past few weeks.....I like the direction the show is taking so far......episode 3 tonight at 7 central on ABC....

It's all happening in real time: Two different realities are about to become one.

And as I've said all along, Desmond (The Constant), is the key, which is why Widmore brought him to the Island.

I do agree with you on most of these points esp in regards to Desmond The two will converge at some point

Eh, we'll see. I could be absolutely, completely wrong about everything!

No you have some good points I just have this feeling that the alt reality has more meaning then the island reality Remember when Faraday in "Lefleur" after the time jumps stop saying that they are on the wrong record I cant remember exactly what he said but along those lines This is when they were sitting at the table aoutside right before Richard shows up.

This is and it isn't. All of these lives have been different because Jacob died, thus he was unable to touch them or interact with them at an earlier stage in life, so maybe they actually aren't candidates?

lol.

Who the **** knows with this show. I've always though the island was some sort of purgatory, but I couldn't understand why or how they would shift to a portal of hell and be able to come back to natural civilization?

What led you to believe that Sun doesn't speak English at all? I might have missed something

She never spoke English in front of Jin before until she was on the island, and the only scenes we have seen her in the sideways flashes, she is with Jin, so she may be able to speak it, she might just choose not to.

Or was there something that happened where we know she can't speak, that I missed??

you could be on to something.. the writers are definitely trying to point out something about peoples destiny..
however if what happes in the alt reality affects their lives on the island.. then i wonder how Sun being shot will affect her life on the island... hmmm ?

It's not like Sun doesn't know English. She understands it and can write it.

Before the island, she learned English because she wanted to leave Jin, and never spoke it in front of him so that he wouldn't catch on.

In the Sideways, she's not married to Jin and seems to be in love with him. So there would be no reason for her to learn English. And if she did, there would be no reason to hide it from Jin.

I get so confused on this show sometimes. What's the significance of Desmond being back on the island, with Whitmore?

But, she did say that she wanted to run away with Jin....so there might have been a reason to learn English.

Dunno. He's apparently some kind of weapon against Flocke.

I think he is some kind of central point in the timelines.

The Constant.

He's been the only person so far that's been able to put together two different realities.

So right on

[Bearcat]

It's a nice twist... ever since the initial constant talk it seemed like they were heading towards everyone having constants, and the people on the island finding a way to exist in the alternate timeline. Converging the two would be much more interesting.... er, speaking of, I hope Fringe comes back soon.
