Here is a thought.
We all speculate about the relativity of time on the island. Juliet likes force real science on the fictional question with a maddening obstinence, but what if we are overlooking the most obvious time difference on the island?
At first I was annoyed with the flashback used in Ji Yeon, but step back from the island and look at it as narrative structure. We saw 3 time periods last night. Past, Present, & Future.
Dunno if any of you are also Trekkies, but the last episode of Star Trek: Next Generation had Capt Picard jumping between the Past, Present, & the future to confront a spacial anomaly that existed in all three time periods. It turns out he actually caused the anomoly in the future and could only defeat it by essentially exisiting in the same moment in all three time periods. His contstant was the Enterprise from the 1st season, final season, future time period.
What if that is the endgame of LOST. At some point the flashbacks/present/flashforwards will be used in the same fashion with Desmond working against Widmore throughout time but in one moment? It almost becomes the Bill & Ted ploy where whatever is needed in the present / future can be put there / arranged by Des in the past.
Thoughts?
Belly rubs?

F'n Guinea Brat.
Dr. Phil, where the heck are you? It's now code RED.
I kinda like your theory Roger. But Des has yet to travel to the future. I guess that would depend on what you define as the present. What would be present time, if 2004 was the future?
You just might be on to something.
Sorry no belly rubs. I can pat you on the head :)
That'll do. Thank you kindly!
What would the "present" time be? That's the whole point:
"we're dealing with a particular interpretation of spacetime that says all points in time — past, present and future — exist at once, just like all physical locations in spacetime exist at once. "
That Star Trek episode is better than any of The Next Generation Movies.
