The flashback (or whatever) started with a closeup of Desmond's left eye.
Why didn't Desmond tell Widmore where to stick that bottle of whiskey? He doesn't think he's worthy of Penelope. Why would Desmond want Widmore's approval so badly? It must be tied in to Desmond's self-esteem. That nasty little speech about the whiskey was devastating. Widmore was actually nice right up until the moment he learned that Desmond was involved with his daughter. Actually, that's all we really know about her, other than her father is a complete and utter prick. Penelope is a sweetie pie who loves Desmond with a passion. But wouldn't it have been a cool reference? I still like the synchronicity.) Doctor Who.) (And forgive me – my ignorance of Doctor Who is showing I've been told it's a blue police box. I can't believe I missed it the first time. Which was taken with a fake backdrop, symbolizing unreality. (MacCutcheon, according to Google, is a chess move.) Des was wearing a red shirt in the photograph of Des and Pen that we've seen so many times. The bottle of MacCutcheon had a red label. A man wearing red shoes died under some fallen scaffolding. Exactly how he woke after the Hatch exploded, except it was blood. Desmond first woke up, concussed, covered with red paint. There was lots of red, too, which I can only assume symbolized blood. whatever it was? The sign on Charlie's guitar case said, "Musical stylings of Charlie Hieronymus Pace." Hieronymus Bosch was an artist who did strange, fantastical paintings several hundred years ago. (Upside down and backward?) Did Desmond really see Charlie performing on a streetcorner years ago in England, or did he just insert Charlie into his. My favorite was the painting in Widmore's office with the upside-down Buddha, the polar bear, and the word "Namaste" written backward. Loved the clever little bits of the Island that popped up all over. But Desmond says Charlie is going to die, anyway, no matter what Desmond does. She told him that the universe "course corrects," like in Final Destination. I was freaked out by the woman in the jewelry store, and those last ten minutes just floored me. He can never change the past, never go back to his beloved Penelope, never win Widmore's approval. Did Desmond get unstuck in time when the Hatch exploded? Or was it the blows on the head that preceded every shift in time?ĭesmond is a tragic figure. Billy Pilgrim was unstuck in time, bouncing around in his own life, powerless to do anything to change what always happens. It reminded me of one of the great science fiction novels, Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five. Unlike most Lost episodes that alternated between the present and the past, this one was spent almost entirely. Look, if the bearded wonder could predict the future, he wouldn't have ended up here, would he?" Charlie: "I don't buy all this precognitive insanity rubbish.
