[QUOTE="Demmero, post: 4666966, member: 13641"] Man, I really hate time travel. That being said, here are some of the things I'm looking to find answers to: 1) How are the time jumps affecting Cindy (the 815 flight attendant turned Other), the kids, and the other Tailies taken off the beach? They've been on the island the same amount of time as the Losties, so my initial guess is that they, too, should be bouncing through time...unless the Others have some special protection against jumps (the temple?). And where are Rose and Bernard? 2) When are the Losties going to stop giving Ben information? I wanted to reach through the screen and slap Desmond for answering Ben's question with: "You're here to see Faraday's mother, too?" When I saw Ben's slightly startled reaction, I thought: "OMG! Daniel and Ben never actually met on the island when Widmore's scientists/mercs invaded! They know each other!" Then I thought: "Nah...Ben had detailed files on Charlotte and the other members of the team, thanks to his spy Michael on the boat. Ben shouldn't be surprised." But THEN I remembered Desmond going to Oxford and them having no records of a Daniel Faraday going there and thought: "Hmm...maybe he's using an alias, and Daniel Faraday isn't his real name!" 3) After a while, the time jumps started to annoy me. It almost seemed like the writers were trying to play "Guess what year we're in now!" with the audience, building towards a payoff moment in each time period ("Whoa! The hatch is back! Oops, now it's gone! The Nigerian plane just flew overhead! Rousseau's scientific expedition's arrived!", etc.). Now, though, I'm wondering if there's a deeper plan here. Most of the time flashes are to important times/events on the island. Does something need to be "fixed" to help stabilize things, maybe? [/QUOTE]
