Lost Update - Thunder Only Happens When It Is Raining

Lost Update - Season Six - 04/06/2010

Now here I go again, I see, the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me
Who wants to wrap around your dreams and...
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness...
Like a heartbeat drives you mad...
In the stillness of remembering
What you had
And what you lost...
What you had...
Ooh, what you lost

Tonight we finally got to see Desmond's sideways flash. He meets up with Charles Widmore, his both and business partner, Charlie, who he is keeping safe until a concert is performed, Claire, at the airport, Jack, in the hospital, Hurley, at the airport, Faraday, Eloise, and Penny. Desmond has a perfect job, power, money, influence, and the respect of Charles Widmore. So much so that he shares a drink of 60 year of MacCutcheon scotch. The trouble is, none of its real. And just like Desmond, I've been going round and round with my theory for six years.

Just what is the Grassy Knoll Institutes Lost theory….I’ve been waiting six years to tell you…..
Although it appears the survivors of Oceanic flight 815 are on a tropical island, they are being deceived. There is no island. The survivors are in a virtual reality laboratory. All the castaways are interconnected to one another sharing each others thoughts, memories, and feelings. While in this virtual reality laboratory, a battery of physical and mental experiments are performed on them. And who is running these experiments? As Juliet stated, the Aliens of course.

In Desmond's sideways flash, he had a fantastic life. He was rich, respected, traveled the world, all the perks of wealth, with no emotional ties. He was Widmore's right hand man, his go to man, and even shared that elusive scotch.

However, Desmond has been thrust into yet another psychological experiment. This time around, he has been given everything in life. Except the one thing he truly wanted. Penny's love. Desmond's constant. Without Penny, Desmond was a ship without an anchor, listing off the shore, waiting to dock. When he meets Penny in this new scenario, he is truly happy.

Stay with me, for just a little bit longer. I stated several years ago that Desmond became aware of the time loop he was in. Of all the different scenario's he was placed in. Saving Charlies life countless times, pushing the button, being with Penny, and waking up and doing it all over again. No matter how he tried to change the course of events, it always ended the same way. Desmond knew this after saving charlie from death countless times. What happens, happened.

The question is why is Desmond and all the other castaways being put through these scenario's? I told you before. The one's doing the experiments and resting liken us to cattle, primates, less evolved. It's aliens manipulating them in a vast virtual reality laboratory. The best way to harvest accurate test results is to have the subjects unaware of outside influence.

I'll add one more bit of information before we get to the tidbits of tonight's episode. When Desmond was talking to Daniel, (Faraday - Widmore) Daniel told him that he had a dream, and while dreaming, he wrote a scientific equation in his notebook. Desmond asked him what it meant but Daniel had no idea. He took it to a friend on campus and was told it was formula's of quantum mechanics so advanced, a person would have to have studied for years just to begin to understand it.

Again, and I'll only state this 6 more times this year, it's alien technology that Daniel was somehow able to extract during one of his many virtual reality scenario's. It's part of how they are all controlled, how they can experience time travel while not really going anywhere. How the castaways are cast into multiple scenario's. How the castaways can have varying personalities. How the castaways choose good over evil, or evil over good. Even life and death itself. Over and over. Until they are finished with them. Until the island is finished with them. Until the aliens have collected enough data and are satisfied with said results.

Tidbits From Tonight's Episode:

* Desmond to Charlie: There's always a choice.

* Daniel is Widmore's son.

* Eloise tells Desmond to just stop looking. Perhaps that is how Desmond will end his loop. By simply stopping.

* Daniel tells Desmond, what if we had some other life and we're not supposed to be living this one.

* Daniel believes he may have already detonated the nuclear bomb.

* No smoke monster tonight.

* Desmond and Charlie drowning, Charlies shows his hand to Desmond with Not Penny's Boat written on it. Just like in past scenario.

* Drive Shaft song. You All Everybody is playing on radio.

*Widmore chances Desmond's life with risky experiment. Desmond survives.

* Sayid kills Widmore's men, tells Zoe to run and tells Desmond that they are very bad men. Desmond seems to know, and goes along with Sayid.

* Penny, while in the stadium, if you look closely, has a wardrobe malfunction and a nipple slip occurs as she is running down the stadium stairs. (No, not really. Just hoping it was so)

* Charlie, right before he died on the plane, saw true love, a beautiful blond woman, could be Claire. That's my guess.

* Jumping ahead, in Jack's upcoming sideway flash, his wife is Juliet, and she is secretly seeing Sawyer. Just throwing it out there, just guessing. Fodder for next week.

* Desmond wants Oceanic Flight 815's manifest.

Until Next Week, Get Lost.
