Desmond doesn't seem like himself. I think Jacob or his brother is in there.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Desmond doesn't seem like himself.
I agree! He seems manic. And/or sinister.

Hurley saying hi to Ana Licia was interesting. I'm not sure what Desmond is up to, but if Hurey's on board it's probably okay.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
well, I still believe that running over a disabled person with one's car is a fucked up thing to do - ESPECIALLY if you are trying to "help" someone.
Desmond v2 beat up Ben and ran over Locke, but didn't try to do the same with the other islanders, so what gives?
Locke isn't a bad person in either timeline. Smokey's image is of Locke, but he isn't using Locke's body at all. So while maybe one could claim that Ben deserves the beatdown in any timeline, Locke certainly doesn't.

Eh, I'm halfway convinced that the whole Sideways timeline is wish-fulfillment illusion of some sort and Desmond knows it. Or something. I just don't have enough information to tell whether hitting Locke with a car was as bad as it seems or not.
What a strange thing to be thinking. Lost is fucking with my moral clarity.

That's what Eloise Hawking seemed to suggest.

Even if it isn't real, I can't imagine hitting someone with my car! I cannot let that go.
Clearly Desmond needs to come to my house to help me "let go" too.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Ah yes. We'd been waiting for the "Sit down. I shall tell you all, in a very Jacob Ex Machina way" conversation.
Would getting rid of Smokey's skeleton make him kill-able?
I'm not in any way happy with what Desmond did to Locke, but I can't help wondering if he's missed the point. The universe isn't telling him to get fixed. It's telling him some much bigger things. (That, or my disability rights 'no cure' stuff is just kicking in particularly hard this week.)

I wondered whether Jack's repeated injuries, echoing what's going on in Island reality, suggest that nothing in the Sideways reality is real.

I agree.
Sadly, if Locke does let go, he leaves the "reality" where he's about to get married to go to one where he is dead. Who wants to do that?

Heh

Where is that neck injury coming from? Have we seen him get cut on the Island?
