[BenAdam]

Rock on!!!

BTW the Title of tonight's show is a great play on last season's The Constant.

Obama better not mess up LOST - or I am REALLY not going to like him.

Thankfully, he seems to enjoy messing up Tuesday nights, so I think (hope) Lost will be safe.

apparently he's going to be on tonight; but it'll be earlier than LOST. Hubby is adding time to Lost just in case he goes over. It may not effect you since he'll be on even earlier.

 

[Redguard]

Yay Lost!

 

[LovesToWrite]

Happy Lost Day!

Oh you're right, I had no clue. Yes, adding time to the end of Lost, just in case, is a very good idea.

Obama is a smart guy....he's not gonna mess with Lost!!!!!

 

[bill'swife]

Did you all see the cake?

Check out this detail.

And here's the Hurley figure.

(That's Bernard in the back.)

 

[bill'swife]

Couldn't wait for them to slice it.

 

[LovesToWrite]

Must have been a great celebration.

Okay, I don't get a couple of things.

First, with Jack and his crew:

Spoiler: confusion #1

If Daniel makes it so their plane never lands on the island, then they never have any knowledge of the island, so they are never able to go back to the island to change things so they never land on the island. Paradox?

Second, with the Others, one specific Other in particular:

Spoiler: confusion #2

Ellie had to have been at least 16 years old in 1954. That means in 1977, when she shot Daniel, she'd have been at least 39 years old. The woman who shot Daniel did not look like she was pushing 40.

Also, wouldn't Daniel have been born by the time she shot adult-him? If so, since she's still on the island, does that mean he was born on the island too?

 

[Thinker]

Hmmm...

My first observation is that Daniel Farady is probably a contender for 'the most abused person on the show award.' His entire life was ...forcibly dedicated...(Another contender for that title would be the french chick).

In response to the prior post, by setting things up so that Oceanic Flight 815 did not crash, that entire timeline would have seized to exist.

I am starting to get irked with Radinsky. He has more of the pieces of what is going on than any of the Dharma folk except Chang, yet in his paranoid manner, he keeps putting them together incorrectly. It will be interesting to see what Sawyer tells him, and what he makes of it...and whether of not that conversation happens before or after the 'incident' - now mere hours off.

And I find myself wondering about Sayid. He is still out there somewhere, and it is very possible the Others do not know of him yet...(or maybe they have him tied up in a tent).

Should have put this in the thread for the previous episode, but because much of it appears in flashback, I'll put it here anyways: Where was Desmonds boat when he first had the 'Faraday Dream'? It must have already been in the pacific, because if it were near the UK, there would not have been time to sail the bloody thing to LA from there with the available time constraints. This would mean Desmond and Penny flew from the states to the UK after the dream, leaving the boat behind.

 

[Nitron]

If Faraday is dead who was that in the comic con video?

 

[BenAdam]

Great episode, I really really hope Daniel isn't dead.

They definately sailed into London Harbor. Where they were before, I don't recall.

AirPo -> They wouldn't have to go back if there wasn't an accident.

AirPo->Two words, Richard Alpert.

Also, wouldn't Daniel have been born by the time she shot adult-him? If so, since she's still on the island, does that mean he was born on the island too?

AirPo->Makes me wonder about the timeline of Widmore being kicked off the island and having another child.

Yeah, they did....I think that Thinker has a good point...because then the were in LA on the boat for sure too.

I guess it's the compressed time of it all...the way they are telling that part of the story makes it seem much shorter than I think they intend it to be.


BTW - this is LovesToRead, still using my husband's account due to major issues with my other one.
