LOST Recap.

Many apologies for my lack of posts this week. And for being a day late with my LOST recap. But here goes . . .

Last night was the best episode I’ve seen in about a year. It was crazy. And I no some people won’t be into the whole time travel, sci-fi thing as it develops, but as for me and my house . . . I can’t get enough of it. I absolutely love Desmond. He’s my favorite character by far. He’s the only guy who I truly empathize with. He’s been the one character who hasn’t been all over the place. Evil one week but good the next. Or vice versa. He’s been consistently and hopelessly wrecked because of his separation from Penny. And I love that.

So here are a couple of reflections . . . and ARE NOT spoilers. Just speculation

I think Michael was the one on the boat who left the door open Desmond & Sayid, when Mikownsky said, “Looks like you have a friend on the boat.”

I think it’s Charles Widmore’s boat. And Penny found out about his expedition and that’s how she kept trying to tap into the frequency to contact Desmond. That’s why “their boss” doesn’t want them answering the call when it came from her. It’s her dad and he’s trying to stop her.

Apparently, Desmond’s friends (the priest & the ring lady) from the past also went to Oxford at some point. Perhaps they visited Farraday as well.

I also think Daniel Farraday is experiencing the same things as Desmond. That’s why he put that Desmond will be his constant.

So the real question that begs to be asked is will Desmond be able to control it now? Will he be able to change it? And is this something different than what he experienced when he turned the fail-safe and the hatch imploded?

I wonder if Desmond is really in 1994 and is flashing to the future? Or if what happened in 94 really happened but he just forgot about it? Or is time just moving on multiple planes? But why didn’t he recognize Farraday in the present? So it’s clearly that they can change the course of time and the events in history.

There is also a good theory online that Charlie was Desmond’s first “constant”. Because he saw him in the past and he saw him in the present. And once Charlie died, he lost it and had to find another one.

Another great theory floating around is that the sickness that Danielle described is the same sickness that Desmond was experiencing. Which makes perfect sense. Wish I would have made that connection myself.

Crazy theory time . . . Jack and Kate go back to the island but do so in the far past and are the skeletons in the cave. Thus when they go back, they do so not in the present, but in the past, in order to change the events that will happen in the future. That’s really crazy I know. But the time travel stuff changes everything.
