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?
Because of the flobotanum?
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

What is even happening?

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?
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.

I just wish it made some sense.
Hahaha. What show have you been watching the past 2.5 years?
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)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, that was a really interesting episode and not what I was expecting at all. I do love me some time travel mayhem, and the actor who plays Desmond is very good, so it turned out pretty well.
I didn't really understand how that whole adventure ended up giving Desmond prophetic flashes or how he survived the hatchpocalypse or why he went back in time at all, if he did, or...well, there was some cool stuff about fate and course correction, so I'm good. And I wonder if they'll go through with killing Charlie. I hope they do.
But ABC has to find it hilarious, the number of times they've used "THE ANSWERS WILL FINALLY BE REVEALED" for a Lost promo. I'm never sure what gets answered because it's never straight; each answer is, "Aha, HERE'S SOMETHING WEIRDER TO FOCUS ON."

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
DX, I think I hurt something laughing at that post.

Well, Desmond took note of the numbers last night, when the delivery guy mentioned suite 815.
The delivery guy said "Delivery for (4) 815." Spooky.
