Miles asked her something like “Why do you want to leave when you spent so much time trying to get back?” And the Charlotte told Daniel that she was looking for where she was born.
Which is part of my theory on why the time travel seems to be hurting her. The people who were already on the island seem to be unaffected by the time travel, while the losties are moving around (or vice versa). But if she was from the island and then came back, then maybe the the island is trying to “restick” her. There could even be two of her at the same time, and I doubt the universe likes that.
No, it was something creepy about her personally - something related to his “death divining” abilities. It was in one of the final episodes last season. Something about how she’s never leaving the island maybe, or that she’s already been there before?
Yes, that’s who I meant. The guy who films the videos.
So, didn’t Ben pretty much say to both Jack and Hurley that if they went back to the island they’d never leave again? “You won’t have to lie ever again” to Hurley, and something similar to Jack? Seemed pretty ominous.
Also, though I’ve watched every episode, can anyone explain Adam & Eve to me? For the life of me, I don’t remember the reference.
There was a show, was it Lost?, that basically had it where you could timetravel (dimension jump?) once and be fine. But if you did it more than once you’d die a horrible death.
If Richard is unstuck in time, is that why he never ages? Loved the bit with the compass. Isn’t that one of the objects he showed Locke when Locke was a youngster?
Seems I read in a pre-season article that the writers were going to explain the smoke monster. Wonder how.
Why does everyone keep saying that it’s because of the Oceanic 6 leaving that bad things happened on the island? Seems to me its because of what Ben did, which only served his purpose of hiding the island from Widmore.
I’m curious about what Sawyer whispered to Kate in the helicopter. If it was just about his daughter, why couldn’t she tell Jack?
The other possibility is that Daniel is WRONG and you can change the past. Daniel hadn’t actually TOLD Desmond until he TOLD Desmond. The information didn’t exist until the change in the timestream was made.
Of course, it’s also possible that Daniel is lying and that he knows the past CAN be changed…he just doesn’t want anyone but him doing it.
Yes. Of course, Daniel was dumbing things down. The original explanation of how this worked by Ms. Hawking was more nuanced, and didn’t rule changing individual aspects of an event. Her point was merely that it was futile to try because things had a way of “course correcting.” Flashes Before Your Eyes | Lostpedia | Fandom
Desmond’s later experiments proved even this was subject to some variation. He was able to prevent Charlie from dying a bunch of ways before he finally bought it in the sub. But even so, Charlie eventually died.
Didn’t Daniel rant a bit about how Desmond is unique in some way? I thought he meant to refer to the way Desmond is already unstuck in time. I thought that Daniel was realizing that, though most people can’t change the past, Desmond can.
I don’t claim this makes sense, it’s just what I thought we were being told through Daniel’s ramble.
I don’t think Desmond can change the past either. However, it is possible to change Desmond’s past.
Or at least, all Desmond can do is “bend” the past. Like when he went back and tried to marry Penny instead of throwing away the ring. In the end, the universe fixed itself. So they can’t just go and drag Desmond out of the hatch so he doesn’t press the button or anything like that. It just won’t work.
Nothing of importance, but I liked how the Willie Nelson record at the start of the episoded played, then skipped. Much like Faraday’s explanation of time travel later in the episode.
