Last night was the first time I saw the pop-up repeat episode thing. I liked it! The memory is bad and I don't see lots of things, so pretty helpful.

I really liked "The Constant" - and it makes me wonder why Desmond, Daniel and Fisher Stevens? Why not Jack or Kate? Is it just that only some people time-travel? Or did they have to have been through a particular event - the radiation or the other thing that I can't recall in order to time travel?
(Wasn't it sweet that Daniel made Desmond his constant? And does that mean that he already knew that he was going to be seeing alot of Daniel?)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I think he made Desmond his constant because he already knows that he sees Desmond in the future. So since he meets him in the future and sent him to his past, he knows that he can catch up to Desmond at various points along the timeline.

For the first time (probably since the last Desmond time-jumping episode), I actually enjoyed the whole episode. Apparently I'm a time-jumping junkie.
Now I'm wondering, did future-prior-to-copter-ride Desmond remember the last conversation past Desmond had with Penny (and considering its import how could he not), and if so, why didn't he know that he was going to start time-jumping once he got into the helicopter?

Maybe the Desmond who got onto the helicopter was an AU Desmond who didn't have that conversation with Penny.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
What was odd was that even after all the time-travel hooey, the outside world still appears to be on the same timeline as the Island. December 24, 2004, no further or before.
(And I thought at first that the Boaties could have faked the calendar, but even Penny was in Christmas Eve.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think the problem is that the Island isn't necessarily on the timeline they think they're on? Maybe?

Good points.

Ha. I give the time travel aspect of Terminator about the same amount of respect as the phone booth in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Except in Terminator they're always naked.
