That's what I thought -- Calvin.
Thanks!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.
Kelvin fits with the "Man of Science" theme, though. Lord Kelvin. And I definitely heard Kelvin, not Calvin. But it's possible it was just Desmond's accent.

Sometimes evil drives a minivan.
FWIW, the closed captioning said Kelvin.

Yeah, but close captioning has been wrong on this show before.

That's why I'm thinking it's an experiment on human behavior. Tell someone it's the "end of the world" and they'll tolerate the most outrageous bullshit.
If someone ever hooks me up to this sort of thing, kiss all your asses goodbye... because even if I devoutly believed what I'd been told it would take about 2 nights of interrupted sleep for me to decide "Screw it! If the world blows up, at least I'll be asleep when it happens."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm with Matt. I'd rather be exploded than spend the rest of my life pushing a button every 108 minutes. Especially without knowing what it was supposed to stop happening.

Me, too. I'd feel a pang of guilt about potentially letting the world be destroyed, but by day 2 I'd be so bug-eyed with sleep dep. that I pretty much wouldn't care.

Yeah, I would have said that whatever he was shooting up was keeping him awake, but why would he take it with him. Of course, unless he's got a boat hidden somewhere, I have no idea where Desmond thinks he's going, either.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hey, what happens if they push the button before the time is about to be up?
