This theory just popped into my head and absolutely nothing about it is worked out. <BR/><BR/>He bought Hanso's diary AND told Desmond that he wasn't the one who hated him (even though he previously drove Desmond to join the army) AND leaves the sink on to act as an hour glass AND it's his boat race that leads to Desmond getting stranded. <BR/><BR/>He has puppet master written all over him. He knows what's going on. He's guiding Desmond towards his destiny.<BR/><BR/>Why this makes him The Economist, I don't know. But someone has to be the Economist and he's my vote.bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10406049984140153266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-17991084306040471972008-03-03T12:34:00.000-05:002008-03-03T12:34:00.000-05:00One thing that botches that theory is the fact tha...One thing that botches that theory is the fact that Aaron is alive and well in the future (as seen on ep. #4), which means that babies that were born on the island do exist outside it's "continuum".<BR/><BR/>Man, this episode brought me back into the series.

So Harold Perrineau (Michael) has gotten his name on every episode, despite not having appeared yet.<BR/><BR/>Geoff: On Farraday's memory - I'm not sure that he 'forgets' meeting Desmond. Farrady remembers the name of the rat - why wouldn't he remember Desmond? I'm also not entirely sure that Desmond is actually changing the past. Notice, for instance, that Penny doesn't directly respond when Desmond says how happy he is that she didn't change her number.<BR/><BR/>And as for the time differential - I've seen it noted elsewhere that the difference is actually far more significant than it's made to seem in this episode. Sayid says that it's December 24th, but if had been following the passage of time as closely as some Lost fans have, he'd have noticed that it's December 26th on the island - he's actually traveled back in time.neilshyminskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14745442660488961314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-84333618866757378122008-02-29T10:55:00.000-05:002008-02-29T10:55:00.000-05:00Well I doubt the show will end with the universe c...Well I doubt the show will end with the universe collapsing upon itself, otherwise there wouldn't be any point to showing the flash-forwards, right? Of course they could make the argument that the flash-forwards are simply theoretical.<BR/><BR/>One thing I speculate on is that maybe the last season or the last few episodes of the last season will take place completely and totally off the island, showing whoever's left what happens to them when they get back to the USA.<BR/><BR/>Also, why has fisher Stevens been receiving a credit in EVERY episode thus far this season when he's only appeared in ONE episode! Did I miss him?<BR/><BR/>-chadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-83758369967081512242008-02-29T10:02:00.000-05:002008-02-29T10:02:00.000-05:00And is it possible that the hatch was keeping the ...And is it possible that the hatch was keeping the shrinking universe at bay?
