I'm still confused about Desmond's "flashes" of the future. I thought the setup was he had gone back in time when he turned the key, lived a couple of days in an alternate past, and got thwapped back into the jungle, moments after key turnage. I got why he was deja-vuing in the past, but where did that turn into knowing things about the future after he woke up in the jungle?
Also, if he foresaw/remembered Charlie getting electrocuted, and he saves Charlie from that, how did he also foresee/remember Charlie drowning? Does he foresee/remember all the alternate histories too?
I actually liked the acting, writing and pacing in this episode. I just wish it made some sense.

Well, Desmond took note of the numbers last night, when the delivery guy mentioned suite 815.
And earlier, he looked at a digital alarm clock at his flat and it read 1:08.

Because of the flobotanum?

Well, what he said, was that his life flashed before his eyes (when the hatch was going splodey), but that the flashing hasn't stopped. So I took what he said (and what we're seeing) to mean that he gets prophetic flashes.

It makes as much sense as Rambaldi (as in the kind that is "non" ).

After last night's episode, apparently Day Break.

See, at least Rambaldi had a kind of predictable internal consistency -- no matter what else it did, each device was primarily a clue about how to find the next device, which is what kept the plot moving. And some stuff about immortality. The overarching question of The Mystery Of Rambaldi And His Mysterious Devices wasn't really the point, it just gave the characters something to focus their looking-hot-while-blowing-shit-up energies on.
With this show, they keep pretending it's about Revealing! The! Answers! but I don't think anyone really remembers what the damn question is (which is why DX's riff above is so perfect).

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Chris Carter-itis, definitely. I enjoyed the ep, but was kinda eyerolly about the "Charlie's destined to die" bit at the end. My inner cynic will be really surprised if they do kill him, since DM is one of the more high profile actors on the show.(OK, was at the time it started, not sure about now)
