I guess I'm as frustrated as the rest of you here... I can't wait until Tuesday when the writers send us into a completely different direction than we ever thought possible. Chow for now!

If I'm not mistaken he actually checks his watch... And in regards to Faraday, what if he was previously told about the events of 74-77 by his Mother, or Father, and jotted them in his book along the way... If we all have trouble trying to wrap our heads around all of this time travel stuff, imagine what was going on in his mind up until he returns to the Island in 2004. Maybe we just are not privy to that information yet - its basically the Ace Card that the Writer's have in their back pocket. In the opening of Season 6, all they have to show us is a few bits & pieces of missing information from a few of the charater's pasts and Blammo! All our conjecture on this site is thrown at the fan... Sorry if I ruined the party, but we honestly can not draw straight story lines over gaps of ommitted information.

They may even be in the notebook. John Locke once told Jack "What if everything that happens here, happens for a reason." I think the same is true for the story and writing of Lost. They gave Daniel memory problems for a specific reason. I think it is so that he doesn't remember important things till he spends some time on the island. Maybe the reason he went to Ann Arbor is because he suddenly remembered some very important facts. I think that explains how he knew Chang arrived at the Orchid at 8:55. It would be like me knowing that Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963. It was because it happened in the past and I read about it or somebody told me about it.

The writers have stated, emphatically that they will not be addressing any paradoxes, as from a story telling point of view would be extremely difficult to explain, so they are going to ignore that. I have to believe that as S6 progresses, that we will be provided with enough information to satisfy our questions in a general sort of way, so it makes some kind of overall sense to viewers. At least, that is what I am hoping for. Nicely written and presented! Hi Trinity, there is a picture of the ‘new’ Journal Eloise gave to Daniel on Lostpedia.

If it's the exact same book then yes, it will be a similar situation to the compass.

If it’s the exact same book then yes, it will be a similar situation to the compass.
