Why are comments off? Helen?
I asked some questions re: Remembering or not once found love in Sidewaysville, only to have the ‘Comments Off’. I’ve seen it before on someone and was wondering if anyone knew how why or how to fix. (I moved that to ‘general’ so as not to hog up the question section right after a new episode.)
I’d love answers to Helen, btw, and since this has ‘comments on’ I’ll put that post here as well.
If ‘love is all you need’, why did the season start off w/Locke and Helen, yet Locke didn’t ‘remember’ the island? Nor did Sayid after running into his Nadia.
Thought it would be part of the Desmond’s ‘memory game’, now wonderin’ if you never lost track of your ‘love’ you’re on team Smocke.
Think Benny will meet up w/Annie?
Does Sayid ‘feel nothing’ because of lack of love made him dead inside?
Funny Claire doesn’t seem to remember, either, be it with Charlie or A-aron … maybe she needs the baby-daddy to bring her around. And, again, poor Daniel. His girl’s been Sawyerfied (and as quickly as it happened, maybe everyoneified … I mean she really dives into her ‘study of man’ ‘profession’ pretty enthusiastically.) Come to think of it, Sun/Jin didn’t have that memory connection – while Rose seemed to know all (which would fit w/you had to know them on the island.)
So – anyone got ideas why Helen didn’t trigger Locke’s memory? (Is her name a play-on-words … the island is hell … Hel(l) in?)
Or, how the paradox is resolved? (And, love is not the constant – unless you’re sayin’ Daniel loves Des.)
Take care, friends.
If love is all you need ,Penny , not Charlie should have been Desmond’s initial and only “trigger”, no?
Instead it was contact with Charlie.
Also, there have been many moments of strangeness hinted at in the Alt. timeline universe (Jack’s scars, moments of people looking at themselves in mirrors, like Sun after her alter ego runs into a tree, etc.) Perhaps these were not strong enough to cause fear and panick in the ones seeing the signs.
Charlie and Libby, being Dead , seem to trigger most strongly, a sense of “wrongness” in both Desmond and Hugo.
Love is clearly not all you need, for Charlie hasn’t even met Claire yet.
There is more than one trigger, but I think love is the reward that awaits our characters.
So far there are at least 3 triggers:
-Electromagnetic activity(Desmond’s MRI)
-Love or the reinactment of a memory(Hurley kissing libby)
-Near death experience(Charlie choking, Locke being hit by a car)
I would argue that all three of these events have a common ground, a sort of euphoria or consciousness-jarring equality. ‘Seeing the light’, so to speak.
