Tonight\u2019s episode of LOST was wonderful. We learned how Daniel Faraday, in 1996, was working on an experiment that would allow the consciousness of a living thing (in practice, a rat named Eloise) to be \u201cunstuck\u201d in time. He meets Desmond, after his future self tells him to go find him at the Department of Physics at Queens College in Oxford. We later learn that Desmond will be Daniel\u2019s \u201cconstant\u201d in both times if something goes wrong, just as he advises Desmond to find his own.<\/p>\n
If LOST has been well planned from the beginning, we need to go back through Desmond\u2019s flashes and piece together his story. He was dishonorably discharged from the military \u2013 presumably because of his time-travel<\/a> episodes that kept getting him into trouble? He doesn\u2019t call Penny, but he sees her at least once or twice before the boat race.<\/p>\n

<\/a>By this time, Penny\u2019s father knows about the Black Rock, from the journal of someone on board which had been owned by Tovard Hanso, and then auctioned for a remarkable sum of money. Who were the other bidders? Did Widmore already know about the island somehow by this point? At what point does Penny know that Desmond\u2019s consciousness has become unstuck in time? Presumably Desmond himself<\/i> will give Penny the frequency of the Looking Glass station in this method, perhaps even tell her about the island, tell her to have researchers look for a large burst of electromagnetism, and give her the frequency to contact the boat (where someone else will warn George Minkowski, in charge of communications, not to answer). George too, we learn, has come unstuck in time.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7622297540113836091-569379334092772892?l=exploringourmatrix.blogspot.com\")
