Lost - The Final Season

no idea.

i think they're the same -- not changing like smokey/not-locke

not sure about him, but yeah. i think that smokey has taken his form on the island a few times, though.

 

yes, brutha!

 

Desmond David Hume was the lone resident of the Swan at the time of the Flight 815 crash. Before coming to the Island, Desmond's life seemed to be filled with failure as he failed to become a Monk, ruined his relationship with Penelope Widmore, was dishonorably discharged from the Royal Scots Regiment, and was looked down upon by Penny's father Charles Widmore. In order to get his honor back, Desmond entered Widmore's sailing race but ended up crashing onto the Island. He was found by Kelvin and helped him push the button in the Swan for 3 years until he learned Kelvin had fixed his boat and was planning to escape. When he confronted him, Desmond accidentally slammed Kelvin's head against the rocks and killed him. He rushed back to the Swan, barely pushing the button in time, causing an electromagnetic incident, which also caused the crash of Oceanic 815.

Desmond lived alone in the Swan for 44 days until Locke, Kate, and Jack discovered him after they had blown open the Hatch and after his failed attempt to leave the Island on his sailboat, Desmond joined the camp of survivors. He helped Locke not push the button, but after realizing he had crashed the plane and that the button was real Desmond turned the fail-safe key, discharging the energy, showing the Island to the outside world, and causing the Swan to implode. Following the destruction of the Swan, Desmond gained a mysterious ability to see flashes of the future, with which he predicted Charlie's imminent death and prevented it on many occasions. He later had a vision of a woman parachuting onto the Island, claiming to be working for Penny and revealing her boat was near the Island. Desmond and Sayid traveled by helicopter to the nearby freighter, during which Desmond's consciousness from the past (1996) began drifting to the present (2004) until Desmond made contact with his constant, his long-lost love, Penelope Widmore. When the Island was moved, Desmond and the Oceanic 6 escaped the freighter and were eventually rescued by Penelope herself.

He and Penny went into hiding, where they had a son and lived on their boat until Desmond had a vivid dream he called a "memory" telling him to find Daniel Faraday's mother in order to help the people left behind. After finding Eloise Hawking, he could not be convinced to go back despite Eloise's warning that the Island was "not done" with him yet. He was later shot by Benjamin Linus, who was trying to kill Penny, but got up and attacked Ben, throwing him into the water. Desmond suffered complications from his gun shot but was taken to the hospital and survived, telling Penny he would never leave her again.

Under unknown circumstances, Desmond was forcibly taken back to the island by Charles Widmore and had been referred to as "the package".

 

He's a constant and maybe able to bridge multiple time lines and fight smokey. Other than that, I ain't got a clue.

 

Smokey could, at one time, turn into anyone who died on the island, or whose dead body was on the island. He's been Jack's father, Locke, Eko's brother, and Ben's Daughter at different times. Now apparently, for unexplained reasons, he can't, and has to stay in Locke's body.

Sawyer had a good line last night.

Sawyer: "Why are you taking the boat? Can't you just turn into smoke and fly over there?"
Flocke: "If I could, why would I still be on the island?"
Sawyer: "You're right. That would just be ridiculous."

 

I vote for Sun to wear a bikini for the rest of the series!

 

agree on all counts.

 

yeah, that was a lot of skin, wasn't it?

 

The more the better.

 

Desmond is awesome. He's probably my favorite character from the series.
