Yet another enigmatic episode title following last week’s Eggtown and the previous week’s The Economist, but the meaning becomes clear halfway through the episode. This was truly an awesome episode and ties with The Economist as being the best hour of television of the year. I anticipate writing that again for forthcoming episodes as Lost in season four is coming close to knocking The Wire off it’s top spot on the podium.
A time travel story which doesn’t have any paradoxes and doesn’t retcon previous storylines that we know about but in fact serves to fill in the gaps and explain past events.
Penny and Desmond’s phone call got me all misty eyed it was beautiful and played so well.
Confirms time-shift in transiting to and from the island although only physically as electromagnetic waves are unaffected so radio communications are real time. Does this explain why Desmond was in prison because he went AWOL during this period.
Does it explain Jacob? Is he trapped between two times?
Charles Widmore bought at auction the journal of the First Mate of The Black Rock. He definitely knows about the island and did almost certainly set Desmond up somehow so he’d get stranded there during the yacht race.
