I don't remember who Daniel is.....

 

I'm still trying to understand the ship and the people. Are they good? Bad? Could Desmond be considered on of the 6? AND who's not from the flight that we thought was? Weren't we suppose to learn this?

 

I'm so confused!!!!

its starting to look like they are in another dimension or something

that was an awesome episode!!! this show is constantly keeping me guessing!!

 

i'm so glad that *desomond* didn't die. i would have been really ticked.

There is no evidence that Dez is one of the Oceanic 6 as no flash last night was a flash-forward.  Technically they weren't flashbacks either, since Desmond's conscience was experiencing time travel back to himself of 1996.  But in none of this can you conclude that Desmond survives the island, though it's worth noting that we know Sayid has survived the island as he is one of the Oceanic 6 and like Sayid, Desmond is presently not on the island, but on the boat that supposedly the others who survive must get on in order to leave the island.  So if this last fact can be trusted to follow through barring any misfortune that might befall dear ole Dez, then it would be Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, Aaron (but does he cound since he wasn't on the flight, though he remains a survivor of the island?), and Dez.  So barring Aaron's status, either Dez is the last one or next to last one we learn makes it off the island, again, only if it's right that since he's off the island and on the rescue boat now means he will stay alive throughout it. 

 

No as per the producers only names on the manifest will be the 6.

 

Ben and Aaron's names were not on the list however I think people could debate Aaron's claim of the 6. The way they ended it, Aaron is Kate's "son" but his names is not on the list.

 

As for Desmond, again he was not on the flight. He arrived there by different means. If he happens to get off, like Ben, he will be the lucky guy found by the 6. (if we believe the producers. They already went back on one comment of no time travel).

 

Now, it appears that the island is surrounded by a time field of sorts. It took how long for the helicopter to get to the ship? Moments for the helicopter but way longer for the island crew. (Can not recall the acutal amount of time)

 

What made Penny start to look for Desmond 3 years ago? I recall he went on a boating race or something....

I think it took the helicopter 20 minutes to arrive at the boat. 

But the island crew it seemed to be longer. If I recall right it was night and Sayid made the call in the morning to them.

Yeah.. Jack said it had been over a day before they heard from them! He's also the one that said it should have take them 20 minutes. However, Sayid said they took off at dusk and arrived in the middle of the day on the freighter.

 

That was probably the best episode since last season's finale.

it was GREAT epsode i still love this show..i cant miss it

 

I enjoyed that episode, very interesting time-shifting stuff. Love it! I'm especially interested in understanding how having that anchor made the difference between sanity and death, though. Cuz if you're in a single consciousness, going back and forth would be, yes, uncomfortable, but you'd be aware that you're doing it. I don't quite get how having that anchor makes the difference. Fascinating...

 

Des wasn't one of the Oceanic passengers, so including him in the "Oceanic 6" could only be for the sake of a convenient media label after they were rescued. If he's even one of 'em.

 

I can't believe I forgot to post about it after I saw the episode, lol.
