To my mind, this episode was more about tying up some loses ends – mostly pertaining to Desmond – than it was about layout yet more of the island mysteries.
Here a list;
1. We leaned more about Desmond;
A.
B.
C.
2. We learned more about the Blackrock, that ship in the jungle;
A. The first officer’s log book escaped with some pirates, but we don’t know how.
B.
C.
3. We learned more about Daniel;
A. He has always been a long haired hippy kind of guy.
B. Mad Science: So much better than the normal kind.
C.
.
What am I missing?
*I hate what time travel does to verb tense.
Here a list;
1. We leaned more about Desmond;
A.
Desmond is something of a prat, as he was given the solution to the jumps so they would not kill him, but he refused to share the solution with someone else who was in the same boat.
B.
He was court-martialed for desertion and jailed because he went to Harvard, presumably without permission.
C.
Time being a big wibbily-wobbily-timey-whimey thing rather than a coherent and linear chain of cause and effect, the jumps and the changes made because of the jumps, were always have been* a part of his history.
2. We learned more about the Blackrock, that ship in the jungle;
A. The first officer’s log book escaped with some pirates, but we don’t know how.
B.
The book was purchased by Mr. Widmore.
C.
It had belonged to Alvar Hanso and presumably he and later Mr. Widmore read the content of the book.
3. We learned more about Daniel;
A. He has always been a long haired hippy kind of guy.
B. Mad Science: So much better than the normal kind.
C.
That little note book of his will likely become very important

I hardly think that's fair. He didn't believe in nor understand it while the guy was still alive.The Grumpy Celt said:

Just this:
Daniel used his time-displacement device on himself, and is also jumping back and forth, thus explaining a) his note about Desmond needing to be his constant, b) the shaking that he couldn't explain when he heard about the crash of 815 in his flashback, and c) why he didn't recognize Desmond when he first met him. It may also explain his disorientation when he first met Jack and Kate.

Good point...
It might also explain that bit with the cards from the other week.

Can't place any very specific situations off-hand but I'm questioning to myself that Desmond would/should have acted differently at several points during Season Two and Three if he indeed had foreknowlege that he would be on a boat with Sayad in December 2004.

Correction: Oxford. Kinda different.
There are a lot of different ways to do Time Travel, but the way LOST does it reminds me a LOT like The Butterfly Effect, doesn't it?

Interesting tidbit...
Just wanted to make sure you know that Eko's stick said 'Look north, John 3:05' and that Frank's heading was North 305." Zoinks!
