Are we supposed to get upset about someone dying when the whole thing was reset?
I'm still far from convinced the reset occurred. For the entire season, the theme was "you can't change the past" until very recently when Faraday (who has a history of mental health issues) suddenly shows up and spouts some half-assed theory that "people are the variable." Why keep hitting us with that (including after he's dead through Miles' warning; see comment above) if that wasn't case?
Two theories:
- 1. Faraday missed one calculation, namely, that Desmond wasn't there.
- a. Old Eloise was pretty insistent that everyone would have to return to the island to insure things worked. What if "everyone" included Desmond?
b. Faraday himself had said that Desmond was the one guy who seemed to have the power to change the past. He said that Desmond was HIS constant.
c. What if Faraday's plan only worked if Desmond was the guy who tossed the bomb down the hatch?
- 2. Faraday knew it would never work, knew he would die in the past, and this was his way to "trick" the Losties into doing what history required them to do.
By the way, I couldn't tell, but it almost looked to me that Jacob was in the background of the 1977 Dharma pic with Jack, Kate, et al. Anyone have a screen cap of that pic?
