Or perhaps Jacob, whoever he was, had his consciousness transferred to or absorbed by the island. Jacob could be from the Black Rock or the ancient Bigfoot civilization. Or maybe not.

This is going off the 'live forever' theory....so what if Ben has another conciousness inside him...like Jacob? Maybe Jacob is using Ben's body to stay alive and that's why they want Ben..to find Jacob.

Well, maybe we'll see ol' Fischer some more, just like we're supposed to see Libby.

According to EW, we might not get that until next season, if at all, because of the strike.

It would appear that you can only transfer your consciousness to yourself in a different time, although it would be very interesting if Dharma or someone was working on transferring your consciousness into a different body. It wouldn't surprise me at all if someone as powerful as Widmore would try to gain immortality in this way. Perhaps many things are possible on the island or using the funky purple ray beyond just time teleportation and healing. But if healing doesn't...

I don't like that theory at all, but I wouldn't be even a little surprised if that turns out to be the case.

What IF this explains how Locke's father had no idea how he showed up on the island. He was "driving" I believe and "blacked out" and suddenly was on the island.

That wasn't quite how it happened, he was in an accident, and then on the ambulance he blacked out. I just assumed that the ambulance was...

I wonder if the helicopter pilot guy is Ben's spy on the boat?

I want to know how much they know about Desmond... The helecopter pilot memorized the manifest and when he met Juliet, and he made a big deal out of the fact that she was a "native."

They had that picture of Desmond and Penny and weren't surprised that Desmond was asking about it. Then when the helicopter landed on the freighter, the thugs asked who they were and the pilot said that they were 815 survivors (like he was trying to cover up the fact that Desmond...

That was a beautiful episode. Fantastic. Loved every bit of it. The series has to end with Desmond getting back with Penny. It has to.

It's apparent that there's no difference of time on or off the island since equal time has passed for both. But there appears to be some sort of anomaly surrounding the island that slows things down to outside observers.

I think it's implied that the experiments Faraday had been doing caused the long term memory problems he has....

Wait couple questions....

Back to when he went into the past with the old lady, and everything after he turned the failsafe key....

How was he with Penny if he said in 1996 he will call her in 2004 ... How could they meet in 2001 and take that picture together???

Desmond was shooting himself up with some stuff too. It seemed to be an innoculation at the time.

If Desmond wasn't exposed to radiation (that we have seen) before shipwrecking on the island. Did he only have flashes, whether forward or backward, after arriving at the island?

They have stated that there are no paradoxes. and if you go back and watch Flashes they say it too.

So Fairiday and Desmond met in 1996, and they both should have remembered it. But for some reason didn't

They didn't remember because it hadn't happened yet.

Makes perfect sense to me: Their 1996 meeting couldn't happen until they reached...

Desmond-centric

Carlton Cuse arrives to apologize for the murkiness of last week's episode and explain all the remaining mysteries on the show. The helicopter crashes and everyone aboard dies; having died three times, Naomi is transformed into a Fire Elemental. Sawyer finds the aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong and is stalked by a creepy dude with a cattle gun.
