Desmond has Penny, will time travel.
Heavy doses of radiation or electromagnetism? Well, Des got a nice dose of electromagnetism when the Swan hatch imploded. I liked this episode because it explains a lot about Daniel. I think he’s an interesting character. His odd behavior, it’s clear that he’s experiencing some sort of “confusion” - added that he’s been exposed to that purple ray he invented. Here’s a theory, Daniel dies on the island - but he experiences that while watching the footage of the 815 wreckage from the “Confirmed Dead” episode. That’s why he’s crying then.

The Purple Ray
Kinda like the purple sky that Desmond caused when he blew the Swan hatch. If the rat died before Daniel teaches it the maze, wouldn’t that change the future? The rat experienced a future that didn’t happen.

The Black Rock Log
This was something that Daddy Widmore seemed really interested in. This ties him in to my other theory - that he’s behind the freighter “rescue”. Widmore used Des to find the island. I’ve said this before.

Altering Reality
The thing that got me was the ending - Daniel looked through his journal and saw “Desmond will be my constant”. This is interesting in another aspect. I’m sure that writing wasn’t there before and appeared right there after Desmond did his trips. Reality was altered. Here’s my proof - a screen cap from “Confirmed Dead”:

Miles visits a woman whose grandson had died. This is, presumably, a nicely framed picture of the grandson when Miles walks into the house.

When Miles comes down, something happened - a slight shift in reality. He looks over to the same picture - something is different…

When I first saw this - I was trying to figure what was different about the picture - not the frame. Something happened when Miles talked to the “ghost”. Reality got altered. Maybe psychic abilities portrayed on show stem from the type of temporal powers the island possesses.

Here’s another theory:
Maybe Ben has been leaving the island in order to moonlight as the ultimate psychic. He’s imprisoned Jacob with the ash ring in order to make millions telling rich people their fortunes. Hmmm…

I could have played too much Super Metroid when I was younger…

Probably the greatest thing EVER filmed. This raises my respect for Jimmy Kimmel and all involved in this video a THOUSAND FOLD!

I’ve just created a musician’s page on MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/travisestrella) that has some of my older music on it. Eventually, I’ll start swapping out those with newer songs I’m currently writing. I’m getting a bit better - but head over there and friend me. And if you haven’t friend-ed me on my personal MySpace page (http://www.myspace.com/ai_joe) - feel free to do so, just drop me a line first so I know who you are…

I’ve finally updated my comic. Jeez, you know this comic was meant to be a filler for my other comics (hence the name). It was supposed to be about all the crap I have to go through to put one of these suckers up. Well, I’ve been trying to come up with funny stuff - probably better than scatological humor - but I have more to come. Cheers.

So Sayid gets off the island. So does Ben. Sayid is playing hitman for Ben. That’s all interesting and stuff - but the meat of last week’s Lost “The Economist” is how the episode addresses the time shift directly. Dan had the freighter fire a rocket at the island. The rocket contained a clock. Never minding the insane velocity in which the rocket intiatly traveled (the have been posts on other sites that determined that the rocket was going way too fast by seconds per kilometer). But the clock on the rocket had arrived thirty-one minutes after it was supposed to arrive. I am going to deduce that the rocket did not enter the proper coordinates/bearings that was necessary to enter the island. Think of the island as a clock. If you approach the island at, say, 12 o’clock, you’ll enter the proper time. But if you enter it at 1 o’clock, you’ll be arrive at the island a few minutes after you should be there. If you enter the island at 11 o’clock - you’ll arrive at the island before you should arrive. That’s why it’s so hard to find the island - or the inhabitants of the island - you must arrive at the proper bearing or you’ll be thrown so far back into the island or so far forward, that nobody would seem to exist on the island anyway. This also might explain why Desmond couldn’t leave in his boat - he kept on sailing at a wrong bearing especially if he was following the sun - throwing him towards the island. I don’t know if that makes sense. Time is of the essence on the island, that much is clear. Maybe that’s how the wormholes can be formed - the island is in a constant state of timeless-ness - leaving the island, you can choose when in our timeline you can re-enter - that is, if you know where to exit. That would be cool - if it was to happen…

So I just found out that Kenneth Johnson just published a sequel to his 80’s tv miniseries “V”. I loved those movies as a kid, and I still watch them. Apparently this sequel “forgets” the Final Battle and the later tv show - since he didn’t have anything to do with those and, according to him, “gets it all wrong”. While I did enjoy the Final Battle, I’m really interested to read how he completes the series in this book (or continues it - don’t know if there will be more books or movies). The book arrives tomorrow.

Buy it here at Amazon.

Here’s another theory - Walt has been known to appear in places, could he be one of the masters of these wormholes? Could a select number of people have command of certain holes. Richard was able to bring Locke’s father to the island very quickly. Are we to believe he traveled to Tennessee by sub and then plane, get Locke’s Father, and then travel back to the island? Or does the island have a wormhole on it’s outskirts that allows the sub to exit? Does that explain why Desmond wasn’t able to escape? Or why Michael was only allowed to leave the island by certain coordinates? Does that explain how the rescuers found the island - having Michael direct them back? Is Walt helping Ben by relaying the information of the rescuers back to him? Since communications on the island had be shut off - how did Ben get all this info on them?? Even if there was someone on board the boat - he would not have time to gather the intelligence on them since 1, the communication station had been blown up, and 2, the sky turning purple had knocked every thing out anyway.

And if Michael or Walt is helping Ben - why? First, why would Walt help Ben direct people to the island that are to harm him - and why would Walt help Locke at the same time?

Okay, now that I’ve recovered…
The polar bear in Tunisia is an interesting concept. It supports my new theory that there are temporal wormholes on the island that not only allow a traveler to appear in different places over the world (at different time) but also connect to the spirit world. The smoke monster exists to protect these holes in space at the behest of Jacob.

Put that in your sandwich and eat it.

Here’s another… Oceanic is a sub-company of Widmore, it’s sole objective is to fly planes over the world on different and erratic flight paths in order to find the island. Widmore also sponsored a boat race around the world, probably on a strange course, in order to find the island.

Good? Here’s another -
I think the “rescue” team is there to not only find Ben, but to silence the survivors as well, and to find a way to reveal the island to it’s sponsor - Widmore. OR, maybe it’s another company - and Widmore has found the island too, via Naomi - who was a Widmore mole.

Good times - can’t wait for tomorrow’s episode.
