Episode 5x06 / The island isn't done with Desmond?
« on: February 23, 2009, 12:04:22 PM »
Any thoughts on Desmond's remaining role? Mrs. Hawking didn't appear to need him to return to the island immediately so he isn't needed quite yet.
We know he's special and that the rules of time travel somehow don't apply to him.
We know that he's Daniel's constant.
Is it possible that he needs to return to the island during Dharma Days to anchor Daniel again? It seems to me that being one's constant is based on having contact with that person during each period of time. With the folks back in a time prior to Desmond's first contact (back when he was in the military and visited Daniel at the university), does Desmond need to go back to that period of time, too? Is something going to happen that will require Daniel to have a constant?
Is there something else about Desmond that has the island requiring his services again?
