You guys are slacking with your Lost-talk this season!
Last night was the best episode of the season, IMO, even though it was mainly Desmond's back/front story.
I was curious as to what happened to him after he turned the key at the end of season two, and apparently it caused him to travel back in time and keep re-living the same things over and over again.
At the end he admitted that he has saved Charlie's life twice already, and that is is inevitable that Charlie will die.
It was a very interesting episode, I'll probably have to watch it again today to try to make more sense of it.
I was thinking about his saving Charlie twice, and it occured to me that he's also saved Claire twice, whether Desmond thinks he's "saving her" or not. I find that somewhat interesting because if you recall, in season one, Claire and Charlie were "kidnapped" by Ethan and the others to get Claire's baby. If you recall, Charlie was found hanging, dead, by Jack and Locke. Jack was able to revive him.... So, anyway.... you know when he was saying "The universe has a way of self correcting" maybe Charlie's supposed to be dead already. But then, again, both times Charlie has been saved, so has Claire (assuming the lightning strike would have killed her too, since she was also in her hut (where Charlie was to be when the lightning hit).
Likewise, if it's true that the universe has a way of catching up, then it seems to me Claire is now, at a minimum, on the "hit list" with Charilie since she was "supposed" to drown, but Desmond saved her (and we know that if Charlie had lived his desitiny (per Dez) then she would have still been dead... Well, I guess someone else could have saved her.... but, still, unlikely... if Charlie had died saving her, then she probably would be dead too...)
Also, I think the chick who was selling the wedding ring was one of the scientists (I wouldn't have known that but for the preview for next week, and I could still be wrong about that).
The other thing I keep wondering about is the end of season II when Penny's people in Antartica got the reading when the hatch blew... what are those people up to, ya know?
