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.

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 Claire got off the island.
What happened?
- The writers forgot about that when they decided that Claire would walk off with Christian, and they hoped that we would forget about it, too.
- Desmond lied.
- Something didn’t happen exactly the way Desmond saw it, so the outcome changed.
- Claire will get onto a helicopter at some point in the future.
I would like to throw away the first option right off. They have fact checkers for this sort of thing.
As for the last, that would be pretty tricky. Desmond’s vision was of Claire and Aaron getting onto a helicopter. Aaron’s already off the island, and I think that Desmond would’ve mention if Aaron was a five-year-old if it were to happen at some later point when Kate brings Aaron back to the island.
I waver between the middle options, leaning more toward something being different. It is possible for him to have lied about it; he very nearly let Charlie take one of Danielle’s traps to the throat because he thought he’d get to see Penny. But I don’t think he could do it twice.
I think that Desmond changed the outcome when he dove in after Charlie. I don’t think he saw that part. And that’s why Claire didn’t get on the helicopter.
