Blogging While Watching LOST – Happily Ever After

by Christina Gleason on April 6, 2010

Desmond awakes… Zoe is there. He’s been onconscious for three days due to IV sedation. They took him from the hospital after Ben shot him. He’s not happy to see Charles Widmore, though, either. He wants to talk to Penny. Penny is not there.

If Charles had had a chance to explain, Desmond never would have come with him. But Penny and Charlie are fine.

Dude! Desmond started beating on Widmore when he told him he was back on the island.

Blogging While Watching LOST: Jughead

by Christina Gleason on January 28, 2009

What is Desmond saying? Oh look, Penny’s having a baby! A few years ago, apparently.

“You just couldn’t stay away, could you?” Does this chick know Daniel? And how many more Redshirts did we just lose to that explosion? There can’t be many left.

Desmond’s place on the LOST-time continuum is very confusing. Although Penny just made him promise to never go back to the island. You know that means that Faraday’s mom is going to tell him that he has to go back to the island, too, with Jack and the rest of them.

The Others speak Latin, apparently. How far back have they all jumped that the Others have uniforms, live in huts, and use rifles old enough that Locke remarked about them looking just like new? Richard Alpert looks remarkably modern in all of this. His sense of style transcends time and space, apparently.

Desmond looks just beatnik-y enough to be wandering the grounds at Oxford. Oxford has no record of Daniel Faraday ever working there, but his old office had a fumigation warning on it, and Faraday’s old stuff is there, including the rat maze.

“Can you blame them, after what he done to that poor girl?” What did Daniel do? Who was the girl? Was it the one in the photo Desmond found? And is that why Daniel had a caretaker in his first flashback where he saw the fake wreckage of Flight 815 on TV?

Richard and the Others think that our time travelers are US military, come to do nuclear testing on the island. And kill people.

Oh, and this goes back more than one commercial break, but Daniel knows that Miles can talk to dead people, per their conversation about the fresh grave. I guess when your own talent is that you can send a rat’s consciousness back in time, taking to dead people isn’t really all that shocking.

Taking Latin in 7th and 8th grade has in no way prepared me to translate the spoken Latin in this episode.

Oh dear. Charles Widmore funded Daniel’s research, and is responsible for this Teresa woman’s care, now that she flashes back and forth between future and past.

Miles is quite the third wheel in this little group of prisoners now that Daniel has admitted his affection for Charlotte.

“Their leader is some old man.” Yes, buddy. He can keep up, and he can track you.

Wait, is the 12 year old chick supposed to be Charlotte, but younger? Or is it so far back in the past that it’s Charlotte’s mom? It could be Charlotte’s mom, because if the US Army is testing H-bombs, that would make it WWII era, right? I’m terrible with this sort of thing, so I could be completely off. But that’s my guess.

And apparently this week’s episode gets its name from the ginormous bomb.

50 years from now. Daniel knows when he is.

“Are they from the future, too?”
“You told her?
LOL.

Charles Widmore’s office artwork says “Namaste.”

Faraday’s mother is in Los Angeles. Is she Mrs. Hawking? Because that wouldn’t surprise me at all.

Charles Widmore was one of the Others!! OMG!! Hand-chopping boy is a young Charles Widmore! So that’s why Ben can’t kill Widmore, right? Because the island wouldn’t allow it?

Desmond, why would you lie? And, uh, Penny caught you out. Aww… They named their son Charlie. :-( *sniff*

Charlotte’s going to die NOW? Oh, well maybe not… she still looks alive in the promo for next week.

What Happened to Desmond’s Vision of Claire on the Helicopter?

July 14, 2008

I’d forgotten about it, but flugelbinder on MyMedia didn’t. In one of his flashes, Desmond told Charlie that he saw Claire getting onto a helicopter. That was the whole reason Charlie signed on for the whole suicide mission where he swam down to the Looking Glass station. He was willing to die if it meant [...]

Entertainment Weekly article explains LOST questions

March 7, 2008

There is some excellent time travel confirmation, Desmond clarification, and more going on in this EW article with Doc Jensen and Damon Lindelof. Personally, I can’t wait for the upcoming episode that revisits Desmond’s flashbacks with the course-correction that follows his time travel adventures. Quote of the century: Lightning flashed. Frank pulled up and out [...]

Extras from “The Constant,” Pop Up Video Edition

March 6, 2008

Look at that. Actual confirmation that Desmond is time traveling, due to the lack of “swoosh” sound. Desmond is at Camp Millar. And there’s my confirmation that, and I quote, “time works differently on the island,” per Daniel’s rocket. The time was indeed synchronized when it started out. Anyone who had offered up the suggestion [...]

Blogging While Watching LOST: The Constant

February 28, 2008

Oh crap, don’t tell me this really is time travel. What’s up with Desmond seemingly flashing literally from past to present? “Your perception of how long your friends have been gone isn’t necessarily how long they’ve actually been gone.” BOOYAH! *does a little time theory victory dance* And look at that. It’s the freighter! Is [...]

Random Desmond question

February 4, 2008

So now that Charlie is dead, will Desmond still have flashes of the future? Or was the only purpose of his flashes to see Charlie die? Because every one of his flashes that we know of ended with Charlie’s death.

Blogging while watching LOST: “Catch-22″

April 18, 2007

So this is going to be a trippy episode.  Is this going to be an episode with no flashbacks? Only Desmond’s, for lack of a better word, flash forwards? Nothing like totally messing with my sense of time. Ah, there we are. Desmond in the brig. Er… Desmond in a monastery?  There’s our weekly fake-out. He was [...]

LOST Time and Desmond: Time Travel? Deja Vu? Alternate Universes?

February 16, 2007

Apparently not everyone was as convinced as I was that Desmond did not travel back in time in the ”Flashes Before Your Eyes” episode. Some people have gone to great lengths discussing the physics and metaphysics of time travel, the paradox of time travel, the possibility of alternate or parallel universes, and other such things.  I’m [...]

Desmond’s Hatch Implosion Flashback in LOST 3×8, “Flashes Before Your Eyes”

February 15, 2007

So the big question left after watching “Flashes Before Your Eyes” is whether the flashback we saw after Desmond turned the fail-safe key was a coma dream or a true memory showing he already had precognitive abilities before he ended up on the island.  By the end of the episode, I don’t think there was [...]
