I believe Des is a ‘catalyst’ as well. I think there are still some island dwellers then we have met, and maybe more then just Jacob, and the MIB… Maybe Jacob doesn’t need a replacement if there is a ‘catalyst’ because remember is always ENDS ONCE…

Good post Eko…

On the thought of constants and variables…it almost makes more sense for the losties to be the variables…they are different off island.

Des, I feel will be the same in terms of his abilities and knowledge whether he walked on that plane or flashed there…if not…it would make sense for him to be the first person to connect with their other selves…but I really believe he will already possess the knowledge of the other timeline…it really wouldnt be a comment on your post by me without saying I have a theory ready on this subject…Ive been waiting for Des to play his role for quite some time now…

Good thoughts here…I think this can work and the losties can still be Jacobs constants…unless of course his is simply the island…the easy answer is seemingly the correct one as of late…at least with Des being on the Sub and Widmores origin…

I like the island over MIB…but Jacob makes more sense. He touched them…he brought them there…he protects them…

MIB cant leave unless the candidates go with him (or in my opinion die). As long as they/Jacobs constants are there…he is alive…once they are all gone, Jacob can truly die.

I agree that the time travel has something to do with who’s a candidate. Remember: Sun didn’t time travel with Jack, Kate, and Hurley when the Ajira plane crashed.

ClaireBlueEyes – I definitely think that Desmond was on the plane, i think the writers wrote that scence in a way to get the viewers invested in the FSW timeline

Hi, as im in thr UK i havent seen last nights episode, but i guess Desmond was the package in Widmores sub!
But, I know you said not to answer the equation is 108, but……
If you are saying that Desmond is the constant/variable, dont you think its strange that the numbers add up to 108 and it was desmond who had to enter the numbers every 108 minutes! Was that a big clue staring us all in the face?!

Off topic a bit….but something else I keep questioning is whether or not Desmond was really one the sideways plane sitting next to Jack….he just sorta disappeared.

Good stuff, ekolocation! I kept wondering all along what they meant by “the rules don’t apply to Desmond”. His name being absent (presumably) from the cave and lighthouse lists furthers this idea. Candidates perhaps cannot kill themselves or each other, not sure, but for Desmond, since he may not be on any list at all, is totally free to do anything.. which may make him a pretty dangerous and valuable weapon.
