LOST: The Constant

Originally posted: Feb 29,2008

Lost is this big puzzle and every week we get a new piece, sometimes it fits perfectly and sometimes it makes me throw out an earlier piece because there's no way that one can fit anymore. The puzzle won't be completely solved until the show ends. That is what's so great about it! Last night's episode was a major puzzle piece. I knew it was going to be good because Desmond episodes always are. No one else can pull off that scared crazy eye thing that Desmond does.

I love that Desmond and Penelope finally got to talk. Whatta great scene. I almost cried. So time off the island and time on the island is the same. Desmond tells Pen he'll call on December 24th, 2004 and he does. I'm confused again. I thought time in the real world would be ahead of island time, since time there passes more slowly.

The whole jumping back in forth and time thing was so cool. Desmond went back 8 years. That's one of the numbers! So it's possible to change the future by changing the past. Does that mean when Desmond jumped back during the purple flash he could have changed everything if he hadn't walked away from Penny again? Would no one be on this island now? Every action has a consequence. We know all the Losties are intricately connected. Just another crazy Lost tangent for me to go on..

So George had the same time traveling sickness thing happen to him. I wonder if this is what happened to Rousseau's crew. She said they all got sick and died.

Ooh.. Ooh.. Watch with Kristin says, "Eko's stick said, 'Look north, John 3:05' and that Frank's heading was North 305." How cool is that?! I love Lost!

New Questions:

*Wow... the Black Rock… I wanna read that journal. How was it found 7 years later somewhere else? The captain's last name was Hanso, as in the Hanso Foundation! WTF? Also the lot number for the journal was 2342 – the same as the numbers Desmond gave Daniel.

*You know Charles Widmore is playing a major role in the whole island thing. What is it? Are the Freighters working for him? Is that why they aren't allowed to answer Penelope's calls?

*Widmore bought Hanso's Black Rock journal. Did he somehow get Desmond to crash on the island on purpose? Was Libby working for him? Is that what she was doing in the mental institute with Hurley too? I don't think anything or anyone is on that island by chance. Someone has orchestrated it all.

*Why were the boat guys so mad at Frank for bringing Sayid and Desmond there? What do they know? What are they trying to hide? Who's their captain? We still haven't seen Regina.

*So was the Dharma Initiative doing time travel research? That would account for all the strange animals on the island. They raised them and then used them in experiments.

*Who destroyed the communication equipment? Locke? Frank? Ben's guy on the inside? Why?

*"If anything goes wrong, Desmond Hume will be my constant." – Oh man, so that means something bad is going to happen to Daniel? He's kinda growing on me. Is he gonna be affected because he was exposed to lots of radiation during his time travel experiments?

*At the end, Desmond seems to remember Sayid. Does that mean he's fixed because he talked to his constant? He won't die and he'll remember everything. I hope so because I can't handle a dead Desmond.

I'm ready to watch the episode again to see what I missed.

Next week is Julbitch's and it's called "The Other Woman." All her flashbacks take place on the island. Maybe we'll learn some major stuff. Oh and it looks like Kate gets hit on the back of the head with a hammer.. ha ha ha I can't wait to see that!
