I think Desmond intends to get Locke into hospital to meet up with Jack in the sideways timeline, which he will do for Jack to fix his back.

eko – I also though Des was dead in this episode, thanks for putting me straight! Although, when Widmore tells him that he will have to make a sacrifice, I thought that giving his life at some point would be the sacrifice.

Flocke is extremely calm speaking with Desmond. But once he feels the lack of fear in Desmond, this actually strikes fear into Flocke, and results in him throwing him in there to kill him off/get rid of him.

Fear is critical to smokie/MIB as that is what he uses to manipulate people. for example using Ricardos fear of his lost wife. Suns fear of never seeing jin, Sayids fear of not hvaing his love for (forgotten her name).

Anyway, thought that was quite interesting.

Anyway, in my opinion, Desmond better prepare his Tunisian visa!!!!

When MIB comments that Desmond isn’t frightened, that made it obvious to me that MIB intended Desmond harm and he couldn’t figure out why Desmond didn’t sense it. Then we see Desmond crash into Locke in the alt timeline with his car, and he has a look of revenge and anger in his face. I took all this as Desmond is “getting back” at MIB, stopping him somehow knowing that what happens in one timeline will effect the other.

I see three distinct possibilities for Desmond’s stoned, whatever happens, happens attitude:

1) He knows whats going to happen and either knows he can’t stop it, or doesn’t care.

2) Desmond accepts his fate now, no matter what it is, because he can’t change it.

3) Desmond doesn’t care what happens because he now has Penny in either timeline.

Did anyone else get the vibe that it was more like Desmond new exactly what he was doing than Flocke did?

He’s just had that air of certainty about him ever since he flashed back from the ALT. It actually reminds me of exactly how Locke was acting back in season 5 when he “came back to life”.

Whether or not Desmond knows what’s ahead is still a mystery but I’d bet he knew enough to just go with the flow. I doubt he intended on getting tossed down the well, but I have an itching feeling that it’s exactly where he’s supposed to be. To me it seemed like tossing Desmond down there was just an irrational outburst from Flocke.

@ Canton – well either he knows what hes doing, or he knows he can’t kill desmond. neither would suprise me. If smokie has redeeming qualities, i think they have long abandoned him. i think he used to be a good guy, but has been twisted.

@ headley – he definitely didn’t want the losties to see/talk to desmond. especially after talking to him.

I reckon Flocke knew exactly what he was doing when he shoved Dessie down the well. If he didnt want Widmore to have him, why didnt he just kill him? There’s more to it that that, and I have the biggest feeling that Flocke is going to surprise us all with some redeeming features!! Or maybe I’m just nuts.

I like the idea of this theory and I think Desmond’s role is huge in what happens with the last few episodes.
On a side note, when Desmond said “there’s no point to be afraid,” it looked as if Flocke was afraid/angry and maybe he trapped him because Flocke had no intimidating effect on Des. Maybe he threw him down the well to keep him from pulling Flocke’s followers toward Desmond/Widmore.

perhaps MIB knows, perhaps he does not. But since hes had his own plan for a while, and didn’t know what was in the package, i’d say he is just getting desmond out of the way.

hasben- come one man! haven’t you seen enough lost to know that if someone doesn’t blow up in front of you, or says some dying words, they probably aren’t dead yet?

maybe the meteor rock is what the smoke arose from, more along the lines of spiderman than superman. like the black slime that makes spiderman venom, maybe the black smoke comes from the meteor and does similar things (influences negatively). also that slimes weakness was loud sounds, like the sonar fence. New theory?

ekolocation, *sigh*, I wrote the most stupidest theory last night (not moderated yet) around Desmond ‘dying’ and reading what you wrote only just made me click that he most probably isn’t actually dead haha! *bangs head on desk* that’s what I get for writing Lost theories at 1 o’clock in the morning.. but anyhow, now that I actually think about it, yes, there is definitely something important down there. And I like Chief’s mention of the meteor because it ties in with another Hurley-centric episode (Tricia Tanaka is Dead). So for this being a source of energy? I believe could be plausible.

Urgh, I hope the meteorite rock is not some sort of kryptonite to MIB, I will not be satisfied!
